MISCELLANEOUS.
Captain J. G. Van Hook was in town
several days of last week, and says De
was kept very weak in the head keeping
up with the good fellows in town. He
likes Memphis, but has departed to his
Carrie KountZ, and expects to have her
afioat from the sandbar at Island 90, where
she now lies high and dry.
A darky was found on the wharfbOat at
the foot of jefferson street at an early
hour yesterday morning badly broken
out with smallpox. He was literal mass
of corruption, and passers by gave him a
wide berth. The pest wagon was sent for,
and finally carried the poor devil to the
hospital. He was likely put out on the
landing by some passing steamer.
The John Kilgour will be here on her
way to New Orleans, Monday morning.
The City of Cairo will be up from
Vicksburg this evening and leaves at p.
H. luT oS. hOuto.
The Legal Tender goes out for White
river on Tuesday evening.
Captain Leathers says that the Natchez
can run from New Orleans to Vicksburg
in "a hours, and as soon as the river is in
proper condition he is going to make her
do it.
The Belle Lee passed down last even
ing, drawing ten feet. She took on 200
bales of cotton here, and would have
taken more if shippers would have paid
81 25 freight.
The Indiana and Great Republic went !
down at an early hour yesterday morn |
ing. The former took southwark 200 bales /
of cotton.
There is $50 bales of cotton still on the |
wharf southwark bound. Several boats |
declined taking 1t yesterday on account |
of low rates offered. The Indiana re- |
fused to carry at less than 81 per bale, /
and the Lee wanted 81 25.
In March, 1868, suit was decided 1
against the steamer Magenta for damages |
by the Brazil in colliding with /
The former steamer. The United States |
Court reversed the decision a few days |
since and ordered the damages to be /
equally divided, and that T. p. Leathers
E. Conery, J. 81. Carter and James Reeve /
paw 5000 for one-half the damages sus- /
tanned by the Brazil less $50 for oue-half /
the damages sustained by the Magenta. /
The costs of suits was ordered to be
equally divided.
The Richmond came up yesterday.
