There was very little of interest
transporting along the wharf, yesterday
morning......The only arrival outside
the regular packets, up to noon, was
the Robert Bans, en- route to the
Missouri River. She was immensely
loaded.......,.The Cumberland did not
arrive till 104 o'clock, having been
detained by a heavy business, and In
taking the trip of the Sam. Orr.
We regret to have to record another
accident to the steamer Sam. Orr. If
there is man on earth who has mer-
tied good luck and prosperity by
honesty, energy and enterprise, that
man is Captain Allen Duncan. The
Sam. Orr broke her shaft at Cumber-
land Island, on Thursday morning,
being the fourth accident of the kind
that Captain Duncan has experienced
in about one year, if we remember
rightly. The shaft broke in the
Journal. She had good trip and re-
shipped her freight and people on the
Cumberland, which arrived full.
Captain Duncan, Guy. Vineyard, and
others of the Orr's crew, came up by
the Cumberland. Capt. Duncan tried
to charter the Clara Scott TO take the
Orr's place for a trip or two. but had
not succeeded when we last saw him.
1.-THE Charmer arrived at IL AM
yesterday. with fine trip. including
a large amount of re-shipping freight,
for the Tennessee .River.........The
Sallie V. was somewhat late, yester-
day, not having arrived at noon.......
About noon, the clouds grew dense,
and drenehing rain ensued, but the
wind continued to blow, and whistled
like "chill November's blast .........
The Cobb Webb came in, Thursday
night, with a full trip,........The w.
Ii. Brown had large tow of barges,
most of them light.........The Sallie
". did not get in till nearly 2 p. NJ.
We did not learn the cause of her
detention.
