The copy of telegram published below,
from the Shreveport Times, is very signiti-
cant Of the fact that the Carter st. Louis
Line, is beginning to squeal at the encroach-
ments made on them by their famous air
line railroad, which, it seems, the mer-
chants of Shreveport are patrOnizing more
literally than their line of steamers, and as
the Belle of Shreveport was, at the last ac-
counts from st. Louis, taking in load for
Pittsburg, Pa, it looks very much as if
they were about abandoning the Red River
trade, and trying to hunt up a more lucra'
tive one for their boats. 1t makes some diff
ference now whose OK is being gored.

Capt. John Heinz, the old veteran of 40
years in Red River, has been very success
ful thus far in obtaining subscriptions to

EcOre last week on the Lessie Taylor, and
friends along the line, who gave him a help
ing hand, and the papers of Natchitoches,
Alexandria and Rapides parish are full of
pleasant greetings for the old Captain, and

he is ready for business. He will soon COM

GLEANINGS FROM EXCHANGES.
The st. Louis Republican, of the 5th, says:
The river had fallen five inches Ill the "a
hours ending at P. NJ. yesterday. The
weather was dark and lowering most of the
day, and was anything but pleasant to walk
out into. Rain commenced falling at IL
o'clock yesterday, and did not cease
throughout the remainder of the day. Bust
ness was fair on the levee yesterday, con-
sdering that it was Monday and bad day
for shipments. Receipts wtre greatly in
excess of shipments.
There will be no meeting on Change to-
day, on account of the virtuOus turn in
politics. Honest men take charge of the
election to-day. Merchants who have not
heretofore worked for the good of the city
will to-day bend all their energies to rout
