From the vicksburg Herald, Dec 9th:
A telegram to Capt. E. C. Carroll, Superin-
tendent of the Parisot line, announces the
sinking Of the new light draught steamer
Willie j.. at Lodi, on the Yazoo River. The
Willie J. was a bran new steamer, not more
than three or four months old, and recently
went into the Tallahatchie river to form low
water connection with the Parisot line steam
ers, but instead of reshipping was en- route
for this point with 225 bales Of cotton. She
sunk Friday morning. No further particulars
have been received. Capt Bill Smith was IN
charge of the WillieJ
The harho- t-r Cleveland sunk yesterday
morning berore daylight, opposite this city.
The watchman says he discovered that she
was making water and endeavored to pump
} her out, but could not get her pumps to work
successfully before she careened and sunk.
; Mr. Henry Voelker, the Waterman, was
drowned, and the engineer and fireman barely
escaped by swimming ashore. The Cleveland
was very old and had not been used for some
time, except to pump out the coal fats Of
Messrs. Mattingley and Flowerree, to whom
she belonged. 1t is probable that she will be
wrecked where she lies, without any effort
being made to raise her.
