Shreveport, Gladiola and Lotus No. 3 for
Jefferson, Flicker for Bayou LafOurche,
and the st. John for Baton Rouge.
The John Kyle, for st. Louis, went out
last evening fnll of passengers and had a
splendid freight trip. We observed many
of our Oldest citizens on her going up to st.
Paul, for the benefit of their health, and we
wish them a safe and pleasant journey and
a happy return.
The iron steamer John T. Moore, went
out last evening on time for Shreveport, and
had a fine trip of passengers and freight.
The LESSEE Taylor for Opelousas also
wen off on time yesterday evening, and,
as usual. had a good display OF passengers
and freight.
We also noticed that the Lotus No. 3, and
GladiOla, for Jefferson, seemed to be get
ting all the freight they wanted and would,
nc doubt, be full of people.

The Shreveport Flag of July 10 says:
Yesterday was a much more pleasant day
than Monday, a good breeze blowing nearly
all the time, but the sun was insutterably
hot.
The riveris still falling, but not as fast as
it has been for some time past. In the twenty
our hours ending at 6 P. VI. on yesterday it
fell only three inches, against five the pre-
vious day.
The levee was pretty lively all day. The
principal point of interest, however. was
the machine for crushing stone. which the
contractors had in operation. 1t attracted
quite a number of visitors.
For CAIRO ST. LOCIs.-The splendid
passenger steamer Bismarck, Captain John
Spane, Clerk j. A. Oglesby, leaves on Mon.
day, July "a, at ) P. NJ, for Cairo, st. Louis,
and all way landings. Connects at Cairo
with the Illinois Central railroad, and at st.
Louis with all the railroads North, East and

mOdations for passengers, and her officers
are polite and attentive to the comfort
and wants of their guests. We would ad-
wise all who may wish to go up the river
to give them a trial, and they VIII surely be
pleased.
