From TIL; Shreveport Southwestern of the 9Th

cent accid5nt to the steamer Rose Franks:
Early n the night Whites line packet Rose

We venturF to say that Capt. White will recover

doubt not but Capt. Noah Scovell will find the

From the Shreveport Southwestern, Nov. 5th
1.-THE weather yesterday was warm and pleas.
ant-something on the Indian summer order.
Since tist report the river opposite this point
Teceded Orgy an inch or two, showing check in
the fall, 9th scant six feet above the lowest
water mars. From the officers of the Mary Ellen
we lear r,at the river was rising slowly at Caro-
lima Bluffs, on Old River, on Monday night, which
accounts for the check in the fall at this place.
This squirt of water Is light and will have no effect
on the river below Tones bayou. We hardly
think IT wiz bring 1t to stand at this point. We
learn from the officers of the Gossamer, which
that the bayou and lakes were falling, with nine.
teen inches at the Gate Post. The lake had fallen
four inches in fortyeight hours. From this point
out to the Mississippi we have fair navigation for
Ihe largest class of sternwheel boats with medium
trips, with the river falling all the way down.
