WEATHER, BUSINESS. ETC.-Tuesday and
yesterday were to all intents and purposes
the hottest days thus far that we have had,
and had it not been for slight breeze
occasionally would have been almost in
sufferable. Yesterday evening the sky was
perfectly cloudless, and hence not the
slightest sign or hope for any rain.
Business on the landing was principally
devoted to the discharging of steamers on
the upper landing, and the loading steamers
seemed to be getting but a small mOlety OF
freight, the Garry Owen, for Ouachita
river, being the only one that seemed to get
enough TO justify her making start, and
the balance, with the exception of the
regular local packets, have laid over until
to-day.
The river here still continues falling rap
idly and the marks indicate that it Is now
seven feet five inches below high water
mark of 1862.
The arrivals since Our last issue have
been the Lula D., from Red river; Indiana,
from Louisville: Ouachta Belle, from Ar
gyle Landing; st. John, from Baton Rouge;
Selma, from OpelOusas; Lizzie Hopkins,
from Camden; Dexter, Henry Ames and
Bee and barges, from st. Louis.
The departures were the ID. L. Tally and
La Belle, for Shreveport; X. E. Lee, for
vicksburg; Jennie Howell and Garry Owen,
loL SdHlutn; selma, lof Opelousds, anu 81.
John, for Baton Rouge,
The Era No. 10, Captain c. P. Truslow,
Clerk George c. Hamilton, not finding
enough freight, and at the very earnest So
hcltation of some of the shippers, has de-
ferred her departure until this evening at 5
Z. NJ. for Shreveport and Jefferson.
The Lizzie Hopkins, for Camden, has
laid over until to-day at 5 p NJ, when she
will positively take her departure
The GladiOla has come from her retire
ment, and is now loading for Red river.
She will leave on Thursday at p. NJ. for
Shreveport and Jefferson. under the COM
mand of II. l.. Lee, and Ed Groves in the
office.
The Colossal, Captain r. X. Riley, hav-
ing made several very successful trips to
the Arkansas river, has concluded TO tie up
for short time, at least until better pros
poets dawn before them.
The Flavilla, Captain Judge Noah SEQ
veil, went over to Algiers to go on the
docks or ways, to have some little repairs
done to her and undergo thorough over
hauling, preparatory to the low water sea-
son in Red river, when she will take a
full hand, as she is of very light draught
We desire all passengers and shippers to
please bear in mind that the regular weekly
Saturday packet to Shreveport and Jeffer-
son, is the iron steamer John I. Moore, Cap
tam w. L. Boardman, clerks Walden and
Quicksall. The Moore is complete in all
her departments, and passengers will find
it pleasure as well as comfortable to
travel on her. Shippers will also recollect
that the insurance on an iron hull is much
less than on wooden one.
The Henry Ames and Dexter both ar
rived yesterday from St. Louis with full
loads, and both will return with dispatch,
the former today and the latter on Friday.
They are both good boats aud need no full
some praise at our hands.
Charles w. Pomeroy mo relation of
Brick, is now clerk of the fine st. Louis
steamer Henry Ames. He has a host of
friends here who will heartily welcome him
among them again.
The Louisville Courier of July gives
credit to the Bulletin for news which be-
longs truthfully to this paper. Please make
the amende.
The departures for this evening at FIVE
o'clock will be the Henry Ames, Captain j.
w. Jacobs, for St. Louis.
Era No. 10, Captain c. P. Truslow, Clerk
George C. Hamilton, for Shreveport and
Jefferson, and Lizzie Hopkins, Captain j.
W. Blanks. for Camden.
