LOUISVILLE. - The Courier of
Sunday says:
r The c.. w Dorrance has returned
to Mobile from an unsuccessful at
tempt to raise the Sallie List, sunk IN
Alabama River. Shewas raised about
three feet, and a diver went through
her hatchway. She was found to be
filed with sand, and parted amid
ships There is no possibility Of
raising her to any advantage, but her
| machinery will probably prove valua-
bic, and will be taken off her during
the low water season. :

to be that of Dan. Millard, mate. of
the Darling. who fell. overheard from
lthat boat at Hickman, foated past

As Dan. Mlllard did not fall over
board from the Darling, it is fair to
suppose it was not his body that
fioated past Memphis.

Monday says: SET
Over 5000 tons freight left this
point last week for Ne;g Orleans, in
ieluding what the Bee and barges, and
the W. L. Arthur took away on Sat
urday, which was about 1000 tons.
1t is evident that as much freight is
going down the Mississippi from this
point now, as before the war. and
there will inevitably be an enormous
increase. Boats arrive frequently
from the Missouri and upper Missis-
sippi with good cargoes of produce.
