FROM OUR EXCHANGES.
Vicksburg Herald, Dec. ::
The excitement in the city consequent upon
the war OF races in the suburbs, caused COM
plete suspension Of business, and steamers at
the landing did little more than unload their
cargoes. Nothing was shipped, only such
freight as was already on the wharfboat or
elevator, and the New Orleans packet La
Belle had to 60 out with less than hundred
bales town cotton and 156 bbls oil.
The Louisville Courier Journal, Dec. Z:
The dispatches from Pittsburg indicate that
we will have another coal run, which will ex-
coed the last run by far, and the most of it
will go to Southern markets

from Cincinnati late yesterday evening, added
about % TONS and passed in the canal last
night. She will probably get out this morn
ing, and leave for Memphis and New Orleans

Cincinnati Enquirer, Dec. 6:
Capt. James s. Wise gave US the name Of
| his new boat last evening. 1t is ''Cons
Aliilar. after the veteran river editor OF the
Cincinnati Commercial. The compliment is
a very deserved one, rs there is no man
living who has been a more steadtast friend
| to the river interests than c. G. Millar. The
greater part Of his life has been spent
among river men, and his labors have been
for the advancement Of their interests. As
a man his word is as good as his bond. This
is the second time we believe, Mr.. NIillar
has been complimented by boats being
named after him; the first being called the
| c. d. AIillar his full name but Capt. Wise
says his boat shall be simply Cons Millar,
| a name familiar to every boatinan in the
West and South. The new boat will be
completed and ready for business by the LIST
Of January. She promises to be a fine craft,
and that she will have a successful career is
the wish Of every friend Of both Capt. Wise
and Of the man whose name she bears.
Tho St. Louis Democrat, of Friday, says
"The mishap to the Paragon was through no
fault of her officers When she struck she
was backing down over the new channel
caused by the gorge stern foremost. She was
spared of, and deck hand heaylng the
lead sung out, mark twain, mark twain,
in sonorous tones, when in fact there was only
six feet or less. She backed down again, and
got hard and fast on lump amidships. I'm
mediately the ice in large quantities filled up
the space above her. The first clerk went
ashore in !; yawl yesterday and telegraphed to
the underwriters for relief. The Bon Accord,
commanded by Capt. P. Conrad, dis
patched to her with two barges, and reached
her without delay. When Capt Sam Carbis
lett the Paragon yesterday afternoon, there
was mark twain Of water at her bow and eight
or nine feet at the stern, with much less on
the lump.
She was bumped up somewhat amidships,
and hog chain had broken. The gorge gave
way about o'clock Wednesday night, and the
water around the boat fell a foot at once and
she commenced leaking. There is said to be
but thirty inches Of water on the lump. It is
believed that when the cargo Of the boat is re-
moved to the barges she will be easily released
from her perilops position. In sparing she
had broken considerable rigging, and broke
the large wheel Of her capstan. The freight
had been taken from her hold and piled in
her cargo box. When she left the elevator
she was not drawing five feet. Her officers |
were worn down with hard and constant
labor"
The Chas. Bodmann was towed over to the
landing yesterday, and loads in the regular
line, to leave Wednesday, The Bodmann is
one OF the most complete steamers coming to
the wharf, and is very popular with the
travelling public She gives through receipts |
to all points on Yazoo River, and also over
Morgan Line to Texas. Captain 0. 2. Shinkle |
and Frank Stein are her accomplished chief
clerks.
