them; but you can't beat the speed Of Swarthouts

RIVER AND WEATHER.

The river at this point has risen upwards
of 10 or 10 inches, and was still swelling
slowly last evening, with 20 inches reported
on Harpeth Shoals. Weather cloudy,
rainy, snowy, sloppy, muddy, and, all
combined, exceedingly disagreeable.
Indications at this time Of writing are
favorable to further rise in the river, and
our boatmen are preparing for business.
The huntsville went out yesterday on a
towing expedition, and it is possible she
may commence loading to-day for Paducah
and Cairo.
The Tyrone is to be brought over to the
wharf on Monday. The Talisman is O. X,
and ready to go out as soon as navigation
for frst-class hindwheelers opens.
Pretty heavy ice was floating in the Mis-
sissippi at st. Paul on Saturday last. The
LACroix was SKINNED over with ice.
The Memphis Appeal of Thursday says
Weather cool and blGstery The river
continues to recede, with seven feet in the
channel between here and Cairo, and six
and half feet between that point and st.
Louis. The Ohio is falling slowly, with
three feet in the channel from Louisville
down to Cairo. The Arkansas river is de-
Ginning, with 20 inches in the channel from
Pine Bluff to the mouth White river is
stationary, with four feet in the channel

The violent gale Tuesday night and yes
terday morning was very rough and gen
eral all along the river. The Maysville
packet, st. James, was blown aground op-
posite Chic, where she remained until
pulled of by the Mary Ament The Louis
vile packet, Ben. Franklin, was blown
aground on the bar at Rising Sun, and was
still there at last accounts. Several steamers
lying at the upper wharves were blown
stern upstream, but not injured, the prin-
cipal damage being the parting of a num-
Der of stern lines. At Louisville ten barges
and five flats, laden with coal, were swamped
| during the gale. The total loss is estimated
at I76, 500 bushels of coal, valued at over
| $25, 900, on which there was no insurance.
| At Evansville the cabin, texas, pilot house
and chimneys of the steamer Armada wers
blown off, the loss being estimated al

Z The funeral of the late Gen. A. Heiman,
which took place from the residence of
Mrs. T. G.. Porter on Thursday last, was
largely attended. There were no services
whatever at the house, but during the
morning numbers of our citizens visited
the residence in respect to the memory of
the deceased. just previous to the hour
for which the funeral was announced,
singing class, composed of number of oar
well known German citizens entered the
house. surrounded the coffin, and sang
requiem over the remains of their departed
friend. This simple tribute, SO unex-
pected, and without any ostentation, was
attended with a solemnity fitting the occa-
sion.
At . o'clock, the body was quietly con-
veyed to the hearse by the pail bearers,
and the procession moved towards the
cemetery. On the right of the procession
was Nashville Conmandery No. l, Knights

The remains were conveyed to Mount
Ohvet Cemetery, and inferred in the
grounds recently purchased by the Tonnes

grave were conducted blythe knights Tenn

After the body had been lowered, sol
emn dirge was sung by the German Club,
the remains of the gallant lehman were
left in their narrow cell, and his many
warm friends turned from the spot, with
mingled feelings of sorrow and gladness-
sad at the recollection of period wher
so many of our friends and kindred went
down to the grave ''unwept, unhonored
and unsung." and joyful that the remains
of one who had died among stranger
should at last repose at home.

The hog market was frmer, aud prices had an

cured during the summer must be expected to in

their affairs accordingly. One of the brokers has
taken pains to get from the official reports Of As

Voted, That it is the duty Of the Board

Last night was the farewell benefit of Miss
Hosner at the Theater. and notwithstand-
ing the extraordinary inAemency of the
weather, there was good, discriminating
and fashionable Audience that showed
their appreciation in lsiOre ways that one.
The audience was compliment to the
gifted actress. for few others could have
drawn such house on such a night The
play selected was that OF Leah, the For
saken Jewess." The piece is one of thrilling
interest, and Miss Hosmer rs Leah kept
the audience enchanted In the last two
acts her representations as the broken
hearted Jewess reached the very eli
macteric of genuine stage acting. After
she had vowed vengeance, and pro-
nounced the most terrible curse and male
dictions upon Hermann, her false lover and
after she had returned to fulfill the vow
when she meets his child, and fondles 1t
with caresses. and bathes it with tears, and
finding that its name is Leah, returns
the rosary. withdraws the fearful Curse, and
invokes the blessings of heaven upon 1t
and upon the father and his house-she
is no longer Miss Hosmer. She Is
the woman, the forsaken woman,
with all the woman's higher and noble in
stincts gushing forth from natural foun-
tains. The audience was spell-bound, and
We noticed that many wept copiously, so
true to nature was the affecting scene
drawn. The curtain dropped over the
closing scene of as splendid acting as we
have ever seen on any stage. Britton as
Rosenstein the APostate, and Dalton as
Hermann performed their parts with
admirable skill, and indeed the
characters were well sustained by
the entire company. The afterplece
was the jealous Wife, with Miss Hosmer
as Mrs. Oakley. 1t was well played, and
with fine effect upon the audience. To
night Miss Hosmer appears for the last time
during the present season, as Mary
Tudor; or the Queen, the Mechanic and
the jew" In this character she IS superb.
OF course she will be greeted on her last
appearance with crowded house.

TRANSPORTATION OF STOCK.
Brewers Loud in their Complaints

DrOVers Loud in their Complaints.
The following communication written in
this city, and published in the Paris True
KeRtucktdR, has been sent to us for publ
cation. In introducing the letter the
editor of the KeztUclsiGa gives the names
of several large shippers at that point who
have started their stock by way of Knox
vile:
Can YOU not do something through the
columns of your paper for the benefit OF
the drovers vet at home? Here we have
been DELAYED for days, and no telling when
we can get away. The agents of the Louis
vile and Nashville road sent circulars all
through Bourbon, Fayette, and othercoun-
ties, stating that they would furnish trans
portation for stock without delay from
Louisville to Atlanta, Georgia, making but
one shipment. We have found it to our
cost, that they fail to fulfill their promise.
For instance, we arrived at Louisville
Friday morning, and were forced to remain
there until Tuesday evening, for
want of transportation. We ask
to be shipped to Chattanooga without
change of cars, according to promise. The
answer is 1--WE will if we can" But, by
the time our stock arrives at Nashville, the
agent LI6I6 HIS OIutIS W SOL1u GOtaAofAAAO
and Nashville cars back Immediately on ar
rival, and there we are forced to unload,
and remain at the option Of the railroad
agents and mercy of stable men, some
three or four days, to the tune of seventy
five cents day per head. So by the time
we arrive at Atlanta, where our expense
should be only nine dollars on the head, it is
S14. The stables at the latter place, with
their recent improvements, have formed
combination, and have raised the price Of
feed, which is an extortion upon the drover;
and they seem to think the one who can
get the most out of his pocket deserves an
an especial mark of approval; SO they make
him deacon Of the church. Now, droyers,

Where they all come from seems almost a

results have not been Iaade known, We are
assured were Of an important character, as
affecting the general interests of the city.

or less confusion. Our city officials, in
the process Of reorganization, are proceed
ing, we doubt not, prudentially, eau
tiously and judiciously. Not the
least perpl5xing of their mulhfa-
rious dutiei is the adjustment and
settlement Of tclaims accruing for services
by and throuah the action Of the preceding
administrations. This perplexity is much
magnifed by the depleted condition Of the
city treasury, and the large indebtedness OF
the corporation. Yet, we are assured that
every effort will be made to settle all Just
claims end 10 build mp the citys credit at
