From the following extract from the Vicksburg
Times Of March TO- it will be seen that Ed Car.
roll has severed his connection with that paper.
In his retirement the press loses valuable at
tache, and no one regrets the occurrence more
than this reporter. though we are sure that hnu-
dreds Of others will share In our regrets. We
would write an obituary of Ed, dead as he is to
newspaper life, but the extract referred to above
speaks for itself. Here it is:
=" 1he Times expresses its many obligations to
Mr.. E. G. Carroll its late river editor, for the val
uabe services he has rendered the paper, for the
courtesy that bas ever marked his intercourse
with Its attaches, and for the attention he has
given tosits interests. Mr.. Carroll has q widely
extended acquaintance on the river, and in the
cities that dot its banks. He is everywhere
known as the accomplished gentleman, the gen.
erous friend, the correct and enterprising man of
business. The Times parts with him with regret,
but feels confident that it still retains mis- good
wishes, and when asked for his generous aid.
The house Of X. q. Carroll & Co., commission
merchants and transfer agents, TO whose business
Mr.. Carroll will now be able to give undivided at.
tention. will probably be glad Of his retirement
from editorial duties. To them and him we ex.
tend our best wishes for the future, and hearty
thanks for the post"
We trust that Mr.. Carroll may meet with un.
bounded success In his new sphere, also that his
facile pen will occasionally grace the columns Of
the Vicksburg Times.

FROM OUR EXCHANGES.
"Lo the winter is past, the rain Is over and
gone" and old Solsheds his benefcent rays upon
3 soaked and soft levee with sufficient force to
soon change the miserable mud and mire into
firm earth. Rain fell all the morning of yesterday,
but IN the afternoon the sun shone out, the
wes,her was mildsr. and we have every evidence
now that ''the spring is coming slowly up this
way" A buster day on the levee hasn't been
known for long while, packets having unusually
yood freights. River recedng slowly. The Golden
Era landed opposite the city last evening. She is
bound for Fort Leavenworth, having on board the

The Ruth, AT last accounts, was hard aground
1t Hat Island. She will soon be relieved from
her position by rise 10 the river, which is certain
rom the influence of the excessive rain of the
asst forty eight hours. Monday night was q rough
,ne, being dark and stormy, causing steamers
bound up and down to take the bank. Last
light was no better, and In consequence several
boats, overdue, failed to make their appearance.
Fifty thousand dollars has been subscribed by our
merchants for the purpose Of organizing barge
inc to transport freights from St. Louis to this
)ort. The enterprise is being pushed ahead in
uch manner that it Is bound TO be o success.
