with an elegant passenger trip and a fair
If cattle. The first two nights out and all
)f the second day the fog so dense
hat we had to " hug a sap ing" The day
We left being M0rd1 Gras, of course no bus
ness was done, everything having to give
way to the festivities OF the day; in fact
King ComuS reigued supreme, anu, from |
IN early hour in the morning. the fun
grew fast and furious. At Red River
Landing we go5 l46 head of cattle, making |
/ total OF so head, and at Vicksburg we |
received $50 head of mules. The late adj
vance in cotton has induced many per-
IONS TO plant the coming season that
lad given the business up. There will |
probably not be so great an area planted |
- last year, but 1t S generally thought /
hat more cotton will be made, as ne /
great trouble the past season was that !

Ourth of the amount planted Water |
gain getting pretty thin IN the MISSISSIPPI
d. Found wonderful demonstration at
III the towns as we came along, the peo-
pie all waiting to see the Hon. jefferson
Davis, who had been reported as a passen-
Ter; and can account for the rumOr in no
)ther way than from the fact that it was
in NickSDuTg that he intends
coming on the Richmond when he comes /
orth, viii h will probably be next trip.
