We want to see the revival of trade, and
would like to see boat introduced into
the GAINESVILLE and Port Royal trade.
The adventure would pay, and we take
this occasion to suggest the matter to
Commodore Hughes, Admiral Lee, Super

The independent little steamer lobe
Hurt is advertised for the s'head Of the
hollow. This boat enters the trade
emphatically on her own hook, and we are
authorized to say that she has come to stay.
She is owned, commanded, clerked,
stewarded and mated by Capt DOrse
Smede, Esq, of McCTacken. This gentle
man is an old and experienced boatman,
having built, armed and commanded
several Of the best boats of their day. We
remember the Cherokee and Choctaw. The

Seven Years Absent.

In July, 1868, while large bodies of Fed
eral troops were camped in the vicinity of
Winchester, Tenn, Alfred II. Johnston, a
small but very sprightly boy, left his
friends and cast his fortunes with the
soldiers of the Union He was only nine
years old, without living mother, and his
father who was in the Confederate army,
was reported dead.
He was ight-haired, blue-eyed and of
very fair complexion.
His father and relatives have not heard
a word from him since July, 1868, but the
father is yet hopeful that the son may be
still alive and satisfied with his new home
and friends.
its new associations, and believing that
father and mother were both dead, may
never have made any inquiries after early
friends and relatives, and has in this man
ner become completely isolated, in feeling
as well in fact, from his kindred.
If the boy is still living, it would be a
consolation to his father to know it, and if
dead, the knowledge of the fact would be
better than the hopeful, but painful sus-
pense of ignorance.
Northern and Western papers would do
kind and benevolent act in publishing this
statement, and if any one who reads 1t,
should now know, or have heretofore
known anything of boy with such his
tory and of such description, the informa-
ton would be be gladly received by his
father, Alfred H. johnson, at Fayetteville,
Tenn.

The name of Bill Carroll, a famous Salt
Point Fisherman, and renowned Mouth
of Smithland navigator, will be handed
down to posterity as the pioneer boatman
of Red River. About twenty-five years
ago he built, expressly for the trade, lit
tie eight by ten steamer, and called her
Port Royal, in honor Of the Oldest town in
Tennessee, situated at the head of naviga-
ton on that classic stream. He made sew
eral successful voyages, and would proba-
bly, have made money mnchly had
his bully5 craft not saddle-bagged on
a sycamore tree and sunk. A
correspondent thus describes the first
arrival of that vessel at Port Royal, and her
loss, back-set from which the piscatorial
poick has never recovered. Her first trip
up was an event long TO be remembered,
the citizens for miles around both men and
women, had gathered in, the Philippians
of African descent" were out in full force,
the banks of the stream were lined with
human beings, looking with breathless
anxiety for the appearance of the steamer,
and when at last she hove in sight splitting
the waves like huge mud turtle, cheer
after cheer went up from those on shore an
swered by asalute from the cannon on board
"a two-pounder) she made the landing.
A barbecue was prepared for the occasion,
and Port Royal got on regular bender. |
This boat made several trips, carrying out
-four on her returns. She finally sunk.
Capt. Carroll said that she run under the
limbs of a tree and he took his axe to cut |
off limb but missing the limb it turned
his boat over and she sunk; he said that
he didn't mind the loss of his boat SO much |
as he did his axe. Since that time there |

FIRST BOARD.
The Future of Gold.

We have received the circular of Henry
Clews & Co., dated goth inst, from which
we extract the following:
The opinion expressed in our last circu
lar, that gold would slowly react from the
extreme low premium, has been realized.
Public opinion appears to have regarded
the fall from 12O to 10 as not, on the
whole, justified, by the existing condition
of affairs, and the course of the foreign ex-
changes has tended to give effect to this
conclusion. For the next four months our
exports of cotton and produce are usually
light, and next month several millions
have to be RENTED an account of the May
coupons of foreign bondholders. It is
therefore expected that we must shortly
commence to ship gold to Europe The
extent of the specie shipments must de-
pend to some extent upon foreign pur-
chases of our securities, upon which there
is some uncertainty. At present the Bank
of England is losing bullion and the Lon
don money market is hardening-condi-
tons not favorable to a demand for bonds.
1t is to be noted that, since the raising of
the funding proposals in Congress, and in
deed before then, there has been an entire
cessation of the export of governments to
Europe. Whether this is merely a tempo
rary postponement until the result of the
agitation has been ascertained. or it arises
from an entire indisposition to take the
bonds in prospect of their being early
called in, is a matter which time must re-
veal. 1t is clear that at present the United
States bonds are not available for the settle
ment of the foreign balances. The latest
advices indicate that the European mar
kets are fully supplied with our new rail
road bonds, so that we can scarcely expect
any important supply of exchange from
that source. Upon the whole, then, it
seems possible that we may have this year,
to ship gold where last year we were able
to send ont securities. In the present I'M
settled condition of financial opinion at
Washington, it is. impossible to form any
intelligent opinion as to what Congress may
do in connection with the finances, calcu-
lated to affect the premium; we incline,
however, to the expectation that nothing of
Importance will be accomplished at this
session. On the 1st proximo about S24,-
300, 900 of coin interest becomes payable at
he treasury: but the better half of the
mount IS due to foreign bonlholders.
Upon tie whole, therefore, the balance of

THOUSANDS of unfortunates, when too

Life This remedy, now over twenty years
old, has met, since its first introduction to
the public, constantly increasing POPULAR
ty. One by one it has seen cough balsams,
lung balsams and bronchial remedies of all
kinds, advertised, tried, and after brief cir
culation fall back into the obscurity from
which they were dragged, and amidst all
these changes the Hungarian Balsam of
Life has lived, grown into the affections of
the people, and now stands in the foremost
rank of remedies. Let not even con-
sumptives despair until they have given a
fair trial to this great remedy.
