CINCINNAT1.-The Commercial, of
Monday, says:
On her last trip down, the Robert
Il. Lee was aground some eighteen
hours at Plum Point, and would have
had considerable trouble in getting
of, but for timely assista nee rendered
by the towboat Stella. We can hardly
imagine what her pilots would do with
her in low water if they can't avoid
piling her up at the present stage.
The Commercial of Sunday says.
Capt. III. G. McComas yesterday
purchased the q. w. Thompson,
which has heen laid up here for sew
eral months.
l. louis WILLIE The Courier Of
Sunday says:
About 10 o'clock on Thursday
night, the Leonora No. 2, bound for
this port, and the Lady Grace, bound
for Cincinnati, came into collision,
opposite Milton. KY. The larboard
guard of the Leonoro was torn off
nearly the entire length of the boat
We were unable to learn the extent
OF the damage, if any, to the Lady
Grace. The Leonora laid up at Mad
ison for repairs. ea1 8
The st. Marys arrived from Pitts
burg yesterday, with 1000 kegs nails.
and lot of iron and glassware for
this port. 1t has not yet been deter
mined whether she will enter the
lower trade or lay up here.
The Democrat of Sunday says:
The mate of the Dexter, who got
into a difficulty with some negro
roustabouts, when near KennersEille,
was pursued, .overtaken and arrested
by gang of negroes belonging to the
boat. We see it stated that he was
returned to the authorities at Ken
nersville. He was well known 10 this
city and bore a good character. We.
hope he may be exonerated from all
blame, as the facts in our possession
plainly justify. The most reliable re-
ports say he was knocked down aud
brutally handled before he ever re-
sorted to anything like a serious de-
tense. IL zoe ~ g. ldaBa9 $50
The Josanal of Monday says:
The Galatea arrived at st. Louis
last Friday. 1t Is believed she is too
slow, and cannot be remuneratiye
enterprise.
The ST. Marys will lie up here be-
low Portland TO await the low water
trade to New Orleans. -f
The Democrat of Monday says:
The Latawana, q beautiful stern
wheeler, well ladened with scrap
iron and potatoes, passed up for Gin
cinnati about 113 AM. yesterday.
She will make an attempt to. establish
herself as a regular packet between
this port and Memphis. Can we
support her?
And echo answers certainly not.
You could not support the Cora 81
the Empire or the Liberty No. 2.
