Speaking ofthe Richmond, the st. Louis
Democrat says: 1.-THE sale of the entire
boat was consummated on yesterday for
the sum of 100000, to our fellow-citizens,
Messrs. Stillwell Powell 81 Co., Theodore
Laveille, Carter & Conn, John Y. BOfnger
and N. S. Green. She will soon take cargo
at Cairo for New Orleans, and will hence
forth be a regular st. Louis and New Or
leans packet. This magnificent low pres
sure packet is less than three years old,
and cost over 500, 600. She was brought
into existence by the energy and manage
ment of Capt. j. Slut. Neal, of Louisville,
who is n of the popular boatmen of
that place. We regret that he could not
stay with her as an owner for a year
longer, to reap the rich harvest no had
sowed, but 1t was not to be. She grayitated
to st. Louis, and will enrich the new own
ers. Capt. Nat. Green will be her COM
mander, and S. c.. Creighton, clerk"
The cabin of the Mississippi separated
from the hull and hoated of down the
river after the sinking of the steamer.
The vessels mate with John Langlois, the
clerk, followed it with the yawl and en-
deavored to tow it ashore. After drifting
several miles down the river they over
took the second bar keeper in the river
and nearly exhausted. They at once let
the wreck go and returned to Water
proof with the half dead man. Upon 60
ing back to the wreck, a fiat boat was
found alongside, with several men en-
gagged in robbing and piliaging the cabin
and teXss The officers trunks and bag
gage of all kinds, together with the yes
sel's furniture, was carried OIL indiscrimi-
nately. Everything of value was literal
ly stripped from the wreck. Captain
GREEN'S room, which was handsomely
fitted up withcOstly furniture, was cleaned
out thoroughly, and his clothing, together
with the other officers, which
might nave been saved uuin-
jured, was all taken by the ~rascals.
Upon being demonstrated with by Lang
lois and the mate, they were driven Ofby
threats, and forced TO leave the wreck
with the robbers. The result was that
nothing could be saYed, and the vessels
officers consequently lost every stitch of
their apparel.
We will give the names of the scoun-
drels that pillaged the wreck of the Mis-
sissippi tomorrow, in the hope that they
may be brought to justice. Capt. Greene
will pay a liberal reward fOrtheir capture,
as also for any part OF the boats furniture
or his own clothing that may be returned
to him.
Captain feathers, of the Natchez, was
especially kind TO h wrecked mariners.
and extended the inequalities of his
elegant steamer to them, offering to con-
vey any and all free of charge, either up
or down the river, besides extending other
and more substantial aid. Every one
speaks in terms Of the highest praise of
Shis generous action Of the old veteran,
Capt. Leathers.
a late Little Rock Gazette says: 1t gives
us pleasure to announce that the barge
containing b locomotive and cars for the
Little Rock and Fort Sslith Railroad has
been raised, and is now on the way 70 this
city. Advices from below state that the
damage to the steamer Nightingale was
not so great as at first supposed. She
struck a snag, tearing a hole in her bot
tom, and sunk in two feet water. Since
then the water has been pumped out,
damage repaired, and she is now at the
mouth of the river waiting Tor a rise to
come on up.
