clip from the Cincinnati Chronicle Of
Tuesday evening:
ST. LOUIS, July 4.-The steamer
Robert Il. Lee arrived at II :25 AN,
three days, eighteen hours and four
teen minutes from New Orleans, beat
ing the Natchez's time on her last
trip, three hours aud fOrty-four min
utes, and the j nj. Whites famous
time four hours and fifty-five minutes.
The Natchez was detained By
heavy fog, below Grand Tower, one
hundred and twenty FIVE miles below
here, aud did not pass that point I'M
I'll $50 AM.
The crowd at the leves here was
immense. The banks of the river
were lined with people from Caron-
delet to above the city, distance of
six miles, and windows and housetOps
along the city front were filed with
enthusiastic spectators. no similar
event ever caused such excitement Of
brought out such a crowd.
A million dollars probably changed
hands on the result of this race. The
Natchez is detained by q dense fog
below Grand Tower, and has not yet
arriyed-6 PM.
STILL LATER,
ARRIVAL OF THE EATCHEZ-sHE rs
DETAINED BY FOG SIX HOURS AND
A HALF.
ST. LOUIS, July 4.-Tbe steamer
Natchez arrived at 5:45 Pm. She re-
ports considerable detention above
Memphis from shoal water and
dense fog, compelling her to lay up
six hours and a half.
The Times says:
The Sam j. Hale, having been
overhauled and placed IN perfect or
der, is now loading for Memphis, to
depart Wednesday.
ST. LoUIs.-The following special
dispatches to the Democrat Of Mon
day, explains to some extent the diff
ficulties experienced By the Lee and
Natchez between Cairo and St. Louis:
GaAND Tower, July 4th.-Dis-
patches from Vicksburg, Memphis,
Columbus and Cairo, encouraged
those with whom the Lee was the IA
forite; yet, Notwithstanding adVices
from these points, the friends of the
Natchez think there is still
A CHANCE FOR HER TO WIN
between here and st. Louis. The
lateness of the hour has tended to
thin out the ranks that have lined
the river banks all the evening, but a
goodly number remained 10 see the
famous boats pass. Great b0ntires
are burning
IN HONOR OF THE EVENT.
and shout after shout went up for the
champion boat, which thus far is the
Lee.
SHE PASSED HERE
at 80 Am. at an astonishing rate Of
speed. Some few men who quietly
turn away from the scene and start
for home, we presume had staked
their money on the Natchez; while
the jubilant ones were Lee men. Will
give Natchez time when she passes.
GRAND Tower, July 4th, 3 AM
We can hear boat twenty minutes
before she reaches the landing. We
hear nothing Of the Natchez yet The
fog is intense. No boat can run in it.
NEW ORLEANs.--The Times of
Saturday says:
There was but little or no change In
the weather yesterday, from that of
the previous day. The temperature
was oppressive and uncomfortable:
the heat from "Old Sol, !" between the
hours OF 10 AN. and IL NJ, and 2 to
PM, was almost overpowering. Should
the succeeding days of July prove to
be like that OF its Inauguration, leVee
pedestrians will have TO procure some
thing more durable than umbrellas
and tents. to dislodRe the striking rays
of "Old Sol"
Business on the landing was fair
enough, considering the number of
| departures, which were few We no
ticed passable trip on the Red River
