ST.. LOUIS. - The Democrat Of
Tuesday says:
The hoFas now sc proudly carried
by the Lee, decorated with Raudy rib
bons Of every hue, and taken at
Natchez, because she beat the III
hours and 30 minutes, the time made
from New Orleans TO that point BIZ the
celebrated Princess, was fixed up by
a committee of ladies, who trimmed
them gaily, and expected the NatChcz
to get there 6rst and carry them of
triumphantly, when the Lee came up
ahead and captured them. You may
bet those ladies we're some mad.
The river during the past 48 hours
rose or fell one inch, or both
which, matters little. Weather still
hot as FIRE. Business very quiet on
the wharf; IL would not be well other
wise, as the weather Is too sultTy for
active operations. Seven feet 90 Cal
70 is the depth still reported. No
trouble to KeOkuk, and there is yet q
very good stage from MOntrOBe to Sc.
Paul. Illinois and Missouri stall de-.
and boats afo grounding Sc
in the latter.

came foul, and in trying 10 extrioatU
il the plank was tipped over. and the
hackman fell into the river aud got a
wettiDR; yet Esq. 10 eY fined the
mate So and costs. lie af erWard ro-
the fine, but the COSTS the poor

charge of the river column Of the AU.
