WE desire TO state that our steam boats, A.

since the Withdrawal or Captain Lees boat
some weeks ago, been running in the Mem

trips.
virtue OF having had q boat in this traGe,and
having Just completed 81 new boat owned by
several gentlemen between this and Frlar'H
Point, built for that trade, entitled his boat
to a day IN said trade, We Immediately with
drew the steamer Geo. W. Cheek IRON
the Friar's Point trade, leaving one
day for the White and one for Cap
tain Lees boat. captain Lee advertised
tnat the Aliln would leave on Monday,
anC did start her out on that day IN
opposition 10 the White, after which VI or
dered the Cheek 70 return to Memphis and
resume her trips on Tuesday. After naYing
made Two trips against cur boat, and Just be
fore the White and Allin were to leave this
port on Monday evening last, Captain Cheek
had an interview with Captain Lee, in order
that the dispute as 70 which boat should
leave On Monday might he settled, and the
cOphict between Captain Lee and ourselves
ended. The interview resulted in Captain
Lee having the choice o days, snd Captain
Cheek naming the days each boat should
leave here, tOgsfher with the fact that Captain
Cheek RhOula Withdraw the steamer Cheek
rom the FribI.s Point trade snd that
the White and All1n should IN future make
each two tips per WeeE, instead Of three. as
previously. taptain Cheek named Mondays
and Thursdays for one boat and Tuesdays and
Fridays for the other. Captain Lee chose
Tuesdays and Fridays as the days on which
his n1HL MDuLQ leave leaving Mon
days and Thursdays for the White.
We Immediately Withdrew the steamer
Cheek from the trade, and as Captain Lee
claimed that his boat was compelled 10 go
ont hat evening. Captain CHEEK laid the
White over until the next day, turning over
all her passengers to the Phil Alin, Captain
Lee acknowledging the Gay TO be ours, and
agreeing that in future the Allin should leave
on Tuesdays and F idays and the White on
Mondays and Thursdays.
We, without hesitation, gave him the BEN
eu1 of that frlD. turned nEAr To his nnaf nmH
passengers, and laid the White over, with
drawing he Cheek entirely nom the trade.
This settlement Of our dispute was h sled
by every one with delight, am all seemed to
feel that the compact between the White and
tAe Alin was as solemn as fair and just. Our
surprise mey be imagined, when, the next
evening, we were hOWn the following tele-
gram:
HELENA, ARK January II, 1871.
James Lee, jr., Is Madison street:
everything opposed 10 changing days. See
Colonel Cheek aud inform him that we 90
STACKER LEE.
This shows a square breakdown on the part
o Captaiu Lee OF the Phil Allin. seriously to
our detriment, AVID with the evident desire
and determination 10 drive US nom the trade,
or al least TO Arbitrarily control 10 for their
own interest; also, BnOW1ng cOnCIuSively
that this agreement was entered into, and
that the Auin IS not even satisfied 20 take the
allotted by iaptain Lee TO the White,
out to-day stil insists on retaining her best
day (Fridayl and taking Monday, the princi-
pal day o the White.
We now, there ore, wish TO inform our
friends and the public that IN future we will
run tie steamer Al. White from Memphis TO
Friars Point on Mondays and Fridays, and
the steamer Geo. ". Cheek will make regular
trips in the same trade, leaving here Tues
days, Thursdays and Saturdays, believing,
that with the lights before them, the travel
ing and shipping public between Memphis
and Friar's Point Will give our boats a liberal
share OF their patronage.
We are, very respectfully,
