sent for some weeks on a tour with

see and Virginia, and i now ready
for business.

The NatOma is the regular Saturday
packet for White river. She carries
the United States mail. John Davis
is master.
The little steamer NaOma has been
sold at Nieksburg. r.. H. Frank
bought her for a trading boat.
The alderman of the Third ward
thinks that our merchants should not
oppose the introduction of a boat in
the New Orleans and White river
~trade-that il will bring business to
Memphis, etc. Ii Is a queer kind of
argument, but then againhe SAYS that
they 1.-THE merchants) should sustain
their own packets and patronise only
those which run to this port. That's
Just what we want, and that will leave
the White river packet Magenta out
in the cold where she will freeze in
two trips.
The MOllie Able, Capt. Vim. Galley,
leaves to-day for VicksbuTg and New
Orleans. She isa splendid passenger
packet. John L-eavenwOrth and John
