packets hard aground. Our dispatches
give the latest news from above. The
Arkansas and White are falling, but
are cutting out slowly. Weather
cloudy and warm. Business very
good.
-f' 90 MISCELLANEOUS,
We want our merchants 10 reneM
Der that we will have at least two,
and maybe four, fine steamers In the
Memphis and New Orleans trade this
. season, and it will behOOve our people
to lend ThaH e4efg support, TOdo
this they MUST get all the up insight
our merchants car control. One of
our citizens, Capt. Frank Hicks, is
abcut to put his steamer, the Magenta,
into the New Grleanz ElC mouth Of
White river tlade, thereby cutting
our merchants of from ALI the trade
below the mouth Of White river, and
so far as lies in his power, injuring our
city. 70 c0a~ntefnSlSnCe this injury
our people must sustain those packets
which run to Memphis, and must use
all their influence with their CORES
pOndents IN the bends to secure for
the Memphis packets such up or down
freights as they can control. This
movement Of Capt. Hicks will not
only take away from US the trade be-
low White river, but will direct much
of the White river tradeitself, as well
es that of the Arkansas. from our city.
