LANDINGS, without fail, at p. NJ. to-day The
Rose Franks her last up trip landed her freight
and passengers at Jefferson, when there was only
public q positive proof Of that which NC have SO
often asserted, viz: that she was beyond q doubt
one Of the lightest draft boats In Red River. The

handsome and courteous clerk, Mr.. Jasper l..
Russ. Shippers can rely upon her leaving this
evening.

Quoted through the Vicksburg merchants. Lately

ened from the Van Winkle-like sleep into which
they had fallen, and now seem anxious to have Q
through packet In the trade. Capt. ]. 8. Wallace,
who, on different occasions, commanded the steam.
ers above mentioned. has, as above stated. taken
charge of the Big Horn. Capt. Gillian will pre-
eide in the Office. With such officers we have no
fears for her success, and trust that our mer-
chants as well as planters along the Yazoo, win
give her their cordial support. She leaves at
P. NJ, today, for Lefore. Greenwood, and inter-
date landings, and in future will leave this city
every ten days.

"0ld Red ia still rising little, and from its
dirty, redish appearance this rise seems to be
sure enough one. We are being blessed with
beautiful, genial weather; for this season of the
year we have cause to be thankful for such dis
pensation. The cotton is still opening fine and
fast, and from many planters, we are assured that
after the visit of the caterpars in July in fact.
we risk nothing in asserting that the crop will be
q fair average one."
