The St Louis Times of the 9sh ssysi
"The Columbia, which arrived up yester-
day, passed the Lady Lee aground ct CAL
leo island. The other boags which left
here Saturday were all moving along, ex-
eept the Grand Tower, Adam Jacobs and
Oity Of Cairo, which are IsiC. up at Caron-
r. Tolle was also detained thirty six
hours st the same place, but resumed her
trip, by order of Commodore n. n. HsE-
lett, yesterday morning"
The Cincinnati Times and Chronicle of
the 9Th says: "Mr. Wash. Bercsw, second
clerk of the General Buell., reports that
the chimneys Of the sunksn America
have gone overheard, but her upper works
still remain, with the water over her texas
hOor. As she had recently been well
hcggsd with new chains, her officers think
it possible her cabins will not be swept
away"
A telegram from Louisville says: "The
report tslegrsphed from this city about
the break in the lower gate OF the new
locks Is untrue, that gate remaining in
tact. From the edge Of the lower bar,
which presses against the miter sill on
the middle gate, q strip of pine about six
inches in width, and two inches in depth,
running six feet in length TO a point
Wedge-shaped, Is torn ouE. This can be
repaired in less time than IL will require
TO clean out the locks. The injury was
undoubtedly caused by improperly clos
ing the gates. General WeitzsI turned
the work over to the canal directors some
ten days ago, and ne has no control what
ever over il at the present time. TheO-
doTe Z. ScoWd5n, of Cincinnati, designed
the gates and has the fullest confidence in
their strength and fitness for their uses
when properly handled. There is eVi
IDENTIFY g design TO deprive the public Of
the use Of the new locks during the pres
ens seRs Jn."
The Evansville Journal says: 'HThe
magnificent steamer Thompson Dean
arrived on Sunday evening. she was
visited by an immense number of cibi-
zsns, who pronounced her TO be one Of
The finest aud most elegantly furnished
oosts shost. She took large quantity Of
freight from this point. CspLsin James
Pepper Was well pleased with the inter-
est our citizens took in inspecting the
novel improvements with which she Is
supplied in her ststerooms and cabin,
ana the various other departments Of
this splendid floating palace. Her en-
gines are = perfect specimen of mech2n-
1cal ingenuity. She left at noon for New
Orleans"
