.udeS To the shipment of cot
ton to New Orleans, via Red
river, taking occasion in this
connection, to touch upon the
wages OF pilots:
There are many other items
of exorbitant charges upon the
cotton of the Red river coun-
try, when carried to the New
Orleans market, and from which
it will be comparatively free
when transported directly from
the plantations to any of the
Northwestern cities, bat will
only mention Ollie other at this
time, AMI that~ona, all steam
boatmen will agree with me,
has long been a crying evil.
Eallud2 to Red river pilots wa
ges. and would ask in all hon
esty and sincerity, can any man
Fgiye angoOd reason why a Red
river plot should get 500 per
month for steering a steam
boat of 200 to 800 tons, when
for the same service in the Ar
kansas, the Yazoo and White
rivers, the pilots, equally well
skilled, work for about one
half the money! When, also,
the mammoth steamers in the
, 81. Louis and New Orleans
trade are piioted by the most
skillful hands at a far less rate3
Do the Red river pilots work
more hours out of the twenty
four than do the gentlemen
engaged in the same profession
in other trades7 Is the Red
river "a harder river to learn
than the Mississippi No man
in his senses will undertake to
prove that it is sos aud, if
he did, the proficiency which
the pilots of Carter-line have
shown in learning Red river in
the last two seasons would give
the lie TO the whole theory.
Many thousand bales of cot
ton have been carried from
Shreveport to New Orleans on
: which the pilots got more than
: one-half the price of transport
tation for their wages; and /
have known several Instances
! where, from upper Red river,
8 the pilots wages amounted to
S3 per bale oa the entire car
lgo, and the price of freight not
averaging over 81 30 per bale.
| do not speak of 800 per
month as the maximum of: pi
lots waghs in Red river, By
no means /; for they are no
ways modest in their estimates
Of the vaiuei'c Of fheir- services.
; In 1865, for a few trips the
wages went up to $1,000 per
month, and o t260S $1,000 and
$500 We're considered moderate
dtgIandS in 1856 andR67, and
last season, as much as $500
was paid, and more than one
" man who invested his capital
in Red river steamboat stock
last season has been heard to
say in truth. that but for the
pilots wages he wopll have
7 mado, a tolerable seasons pro-
