We regret sincerely TO learn that the
same short.sighted policy which has
DtEtlCiNEt btbhGh w OAl bSChtb llHFEg
and has driven all first class New Or
leans packets out Of the trade is being ad-
hered to by our shippers. 1t is not cred
liable to our merchants as business men
thst they should be so short-sighted as
not to know the advantages accruing 20
Us by keeping Up q line of boats from this
point to New Orleans, not only during
the busy season, bat all the year round.
The Mississippi, q of the finest boats
ever in any trade, which nov lies at our
landing, will leave here tomorrow with
out a bale Of Memphis cotton, aud with
out any inducemsnJ to return to u, be-
cause an outside boat not half loaded
will come along and take this cotton at
less than living rates. The packet comes
to US full OF people, brings orders to, as
well 81 purchases her stores OF, our mer-
chants, and yet she is ignored when she
calls upon these very merchants for their
freight,
The Des Are did not get away last
night. Her crew being entitled to vote,
had no intention of losing that privil-
eye, so they Jumped" the boat, and
have thereby prevented her from leaving

A singular sight is now presented to
those VINO visit Boston hGrhor. The
steamer Star or the South, which was
used to carry supplies during the CTi-
neal war, and was also engaged to car
~ provisions and men for the relief OF
Gen. Anderson at Fort Sumter, lies high
and dry on Moon Island. Alongside of
her is the double endeT Peoria, q side

river six years ago, snd employed by The

by Boston parties, who have taken all
the machinery and valuable property
from them, and will soon set them on
fire and reduce shem TO ashes, in order to
secure the iron.
The H~srrisonburg La NeU Era says
Of Ousc1its river: Bayou Bartholomew
is still quite low and no prospect for
early shipments OF cotton from Point
Pleasant. Several OF our e%nterprisiDg
citizens have gone to secure suitable
steamers for the bayou trade, and we
hope to see them in early with suitable
through boats. THIS thing OF reshipping
is ruiBous TO our people, and should not
be submitted to any longer. The great
est confusion and extOrtiOn was the re-
suit last year, and the psople should
unite 90 q or more good through boats,
and refuse to be swindied and annoyed
any longer.
