did yeOman service in our cause, and we |
hope soon to have him again hard mt work

at present engaged as passenger agent at /
Shreveport, and steamboatmen would well |
consult their interest by securing his ser
vices, as they are invaluable to them.
The Belle Rowland came to the lower
levee yesterday and is up for trip to
4
go to start on, as she is to meet the Henry ,
laeger at the mouth of Red River and take
off of her three hundred tons freight reship-
ped on the iaegsf by the Lady Lee, at st.
Louis, the latter boat not neing able to
obtain enough patronage at the future cap
ital to justify her on such long voyage to
the Red River country.
Shippers on the Bradsh johnson, for Ope-
iousas. not being able to complete their
shipments last evening, Captain Picket very
kindly laid over to accommodate them until
to-day, when he will positively leave at IL
clock.

on an excursion trip to the Bonnet Care
crevasse, the proceeds to be appropriated to
the crevasse sufferers.
CLIPPINGS FROM EXCHANGES
The Shreveport Times, of the 10Th, says
The wet, disagreeable weather continues
Yesterday was cold and cloudy all day In
the forenoon we had heavy fall of rain and
all day it looked as though it might turn
loose at any time. The wea Their is too much
for us, and we retire gracefully from the
contest. Old fel, here is our first! Now we
will see if the old cuss has got any magma
nimity. .
The Government observer reports rise of
I wO inches in the river at this point for rhe J
last twenty-fonr hours, making it twenty !
SIN teet ana TWO inches above the lowest 4
wafer, or within one foot and five inches of :
the highest water OF this season. !
The officers of the Maria Louise report the s
river in the neighborhood of Alexandria fall 4
ing, but from distance above to this port y
it was rising slowly. 1t rained on them ali the /,
time, and the great wonder is why the rise a
was not heavier. Loggy Bayou and another ]
stream below were putting out big water 9
the current running across to the opposite n
bank. The crevasse below Alexandria was +
the safety valve, and that sucked off the .
water very fast
Mr.. VIM. Hamilton, of this city, arrived :
here yesterday fror. Fulton, Ark, bringing r
rather gloomy accounts of the condition Of p
the river above. He passed Crooks Land ,
ing, on the upper river, last Thursday. Up !
to the Tuesday previous the river there c
had fallen about two feet, but was on !.
stand ON Wednesday. 1t rained very hard =
