dsybreak, alternate spells of cloud and sunshine
from sunrise to noon, and after that hOtir tenn
perature such as one would expect to have in
early summer. At this writing the blue arch
above is unlocked by clouds, and the prospects
are ffattering for fair day.
BY dispatch received yesterday by Capt. ]. II.
Menge, we learn that the b. l.. Hedge No. 2,
Capt Bosrdman, hence, arrived at Shreveport on
Wednesday, 9th inst, and that she would leave
there to- day for this port.
By dispatch to George ID. Hite, Esq. we learn
that the steamer Welcome left Camden on
the 18th inst. for this city with 1900 bales cotton.
The Caroline is on berth receiving for:Jeferson
and way landings to leave at O'Clock this
Freights for Red River were moving rapidly
yesterday. The Selma and the Golden Era left
at about P. NJ. for Jefferson with all the freight
that they could carry, and with as many people
as they had accommodation for.
The Bart Able was receiving freely yesterday
and win beyond doubt leave this evening with the
best Shreveport trip that has ever left this city
for Red River. Capt. Harrison and his fine packet
have nearly all the honors, and CALAMITY do they
wear them.
The fine steamer Enterprise leaves positively at
5 P. NJ. to-day for Bayou Macon and Tensss, giving
through bills lading to all points as high up as
as she advertises to go, for with Capt L. q. Pat
terson on the roof, and Capt. Lou Greenlee at the
wheel there's no such thing as fail.", The En-
terprlse is admirably suited to this trade, and we
wish her every possible success.
As is always the case towards the close of the
week. business was very brisk upon the landings
Quite feet OF steamers are advertised to leave
port to-day and should the weather prove fair we
expect to see them all get off laden to their utmost
capacities.
The officers Of the Vicksburg and Tahlequah
have our thanks for favors.
The condition of the levee Is awful-from one
end to the other 1t is perfect sea of mud and
slush-in fact for years we have not seen 1t in such
bad condition. The authorities have lately had
quite large force at work clearing Off the mud,
filing holes and ruts with ballast, etc., but the
elements seem to have combined against them,
and for all the labor and money expended there is
no Improvement perceptible.
The National. Capt. Dick Sinnott, will arrive
to-day from Shreveport with fine trip. She
leaves on her return trip next Tuesday at p NJ.
The, Welcome, Capt. Chandler, leaves next
Tuesday at P. NJ. for Camden.
Late adyices from Ouachita river report that
stream falling at Camden.
Over 5000 bales cotton were landed at our
wharf yesterday,
We have received but one copy at this office, of
the Vicksburg Times during the past week. We
regret this very much as it ia ono of the most in
teresting of our exchanges-at least as far as
river items are concerned-that we receive.
