The Vicksburg Herald saws: "The cut
of made by the.riVer bursting through at
Davis Bend in,lS67, has caused a magnih-
cent lake to form, extending twenty-five
miles in length, and excluding the land
ings of Ashwood, Enols, New Carthage
and Point Pleasant from access to steam
boats ascending the river. The packets
are forced, from asand bar forming across
the lower end, to 90 the entire l6ngth of
the lake twice during each trip. In a few
years 1t will not be possible for steam
boats to find a channel in the lake"
The same paper says: There was a re-
port in circulation on the ley'ee Yesterday,
that Capt. j. NJ. White, of the Grand Era,
and the Pargoud interests had effected a
compromise, BY which b Grand Era
would be withdrawn from the bends
trade, and Captain White be placed in
command of the Psrgoud until the COM
pletion Of his new steamer, Katie"
The 81. Louis Republicans says: "The
magnificent steamer Belle Ice came from
her summer quarters or yesterday even
ing. Since she was laid up, busy hands
have been occupied in giving her q
thorough ~overhauling, and the result is
that the Belle Lee is now undoubtedly
n of the most beautiful vessels that
runs in our Western rivers. She has had
Shsrman's patent fire CRATES placed in her
furnaces, which, Captain Hicks thinks,
will be the means OF saving much ex-
peuse for fuel. The ladies' cabin is fine
beyond anything Of the kind we have
seen. The officers of the Belle Lee at
present are as follows: Captain, B. Frank
Hicks; clerks, ]. S. Sullivan, Joe Lloyd
and Tom Sullivan; pilot. Bob Smith; en-
gineers, Charlie McCOrd and jerry Shea;
steward, Frank Smith. This Belle Lee
leaves his port for New Orleans IN Satur-
day."
IMPORTANT To STEAMB9ATMEN.-Boat
building is now an established fact in the
history of our city, and the day is not far
distant when all vessels for Southern
rivers viii, we hope, be built here. To
keep pace with the times, the Messrs.
Menken Bros. have purchased an extern
sive stock of table and bed linens, sheet
ings, towelings, blankets, quilts, ste,
suitable for the trade, and are offering
them as low as they can be bought in an
market. Our steamboat friends should
note these facts and buy at home, as they
can save money by doing so. An exami-
nation of their stock yesterday caused no
little surprise at its vastness and variety,
while their figures are really lower than
Eastern quotations. This house also has
an extensive stock of carpets, which they
are anxious to close out and offer them at
lass than coat
