Taisman, Cato, P. NJ.
The river commenced rising again at
this port yesterday, with seven feet large
on Harpeth Shoals Weather at night cold
and cloudy.
The Robert Moore was unavoidably de-
tanned last evening, but leaves positively

and DR.. G. W. Bradley has charge of the
Office.

The Umpire left Louisville on Wednes-
day evening for this port, with light trip.
The Lawrence has been placed on the
docks at Cincinnati, and the Nashville and
Cincinnati Packet Company have deter

the other day for Sc, 800. C. S. Peak and
l. j. Sharp, of Chattanooga, were the pur-
chasers.
The work on the Tyrone, it is understood,
viii be completed to-day and steam raised
tomorrow. The new boilers made by
Wood d Simpson reflect great credit upon
the establishment, and the owners of the
craft should receive the congratulations of
the travelling public upon this improve
ment. The decks of this steamer have
been widened two feet, thus civ
ing much more room for the
transportation of stock, tobacco.
and items of freight generally. The repairs
have been under the superindendence of
Bob Culley, an experienced ship carpen-
ter who has performed his work faithfully,
and to the entire satisfaction of the owners.
In her new outfit, the Tyrone is a better
steamboat in every respect than the day
when she was originally built, and Capt.
Tom Hartman, can tread her decks with
the assurance that he commands one of
the best hindwheelers that ever foated in
| the Cumberland.

who was arrested at DuvalTs Bluff. last fall
and incarcerated at Little Rock on account
of the capture of the Hesper, has finally
/ been discharged and relieved of his bond.
after making numerous trips to Helena to
stand his trial. Capt Ford was innocent
of completely in the capture Of the Hesper.
His tug was taken in charge by other men
and made to perform the part it did. We
are glad the case has been settled It has
caused him much annoyance.
The New Orleans NelcS of the 9th saws
"Our attention has been called to the fact
that a subscription is in circulation at st.
Louis for the benefit of the family of Capt.
Tom Scott, lost by the Stonewall disaster.
We offer the gross receipts of the river de-
partment Of the Ne1cS during the Christmas
week for this benefit, and in the river
column of our Issue of Monday, Dec. %,
shall appear such a biographical sketch OF
Capt. Scott as we shall be enabled by that
time to work up. Tom was our closely
attached and lifelong friend, and we feel
that We are doing little enough in giving up
our department Of the Nelcs for that time,
but 1t is all that we can offer, and his and
our own steamboat friends may take ad-
vantage of it as they will.
