ALI persons having business TO call them
down the Lower Coast will please notice the
advertisement of that fleet U. S. mail
steamer Marie, Capt. w. S. Bassett. She
leaves the Canal street ferry landing every
Tuesday and Friday, at 9 A. NJ, and offers
special inducements to shippers and passen-
gers.
The Shreveport Times, of the 18th, re-
ports the r. T. Bryarly having arrived from
this city and passed on up to Jefferson. The
Texas had done little in the way of re-
ceiving cotton, but rot enough to suit
Charles, so he laid over for another day, to
recruit upon. The Florence had fastened on
| to barge, which she had agreed to tow to
KiaDletea, on the upper river, and the river
scribbler of that paper allows that she Will
have a time of it before she gets there.
The old champion Of all, the r. E. Lee,
arrived Sunday from Vicksburg with 1879
bales cotton and $50 sacks cotton seed She
will now retire from active duty for the
present season, and her place will be filled
by that splendid fast steamer the Katie, and
which boat will connect at Nicksburg with
the Belle Yazoo, for White River, and the
Parisott line for YazoO River, and also with
the connecting boats for Suntlower, Deer
Creek and Tallahatchie River.
Captain j. w. Carlton is now in command
of the Belle Yazoo, and Is running her from
Vicksbnrg to the mouth of White River in
connection with the steamer Katie, Captain
VIM. Campbell.
The r. +. Lee was taken away from her
landing last evening, and has taken a posi-
ton on the Algiers side, just above the
monitors, where she will be well protected,
and have a quiet rest after her arduOuS
seasons business.
The crevasses have played the very
dickens with our mails, more especially by
thn. hA. vnr
since Saturday; all have failed, hence we
are without our usual exchanges, and what
we miss more than all other, our regular
daily Memphis correspondents letters, and
others that we are anXiOusly expecting but
we hope the good time is coming when every
thing will be all right and all go ON like
clock work.
CORRESPONDENCE of the Bulletnl
MEMPH 5, April -, Midnight.
A surrey Of the city's front up about the
mouth of Wolf River, made from the deck
of one Of the harbo: ting boats, by your cor
respondent this morning, reveals the fact
that the winged gods Notus and Eurous,
who, it is said, govern southern and easterly
winds in their rampage, yesterday played
smash with the log RATS up in that neigh
borhoOd. and not only broke up one or two.
but sent log from one under IA house that
projected slightly over the bank, and one end
Of the log lodging the other end was, by the
waves, given first class rocking and sent
up against the floor of the house until it
started the building from its foundation,
and one room tumbled over into the river.
The gale was also felt below here as far as
Helena, and up stream it extended above
LinwOOd.
Major Jno. d. Adams, formerly President
of the Memphis and Arkansas River Packet
M, lint ,h<, inn
to the cultivation of his large plantation on
the Arkansas, came over by rail this morn
irg to see how the Marine" were prosper
ing generally, and to purchase supplies,
returning tomorrow evening. Capt. Carl |
ton, Of the Katie, is also in town, and
Ralph Hicks and Frank Smith, of the Belle |
Lee, are likewise registered visitors, as well
Jno. S. Sullivan, formerly of the Belle Lee
Capt. VIM. HambletOn, the Mound City wreck
will be here in few days to take
a look at his old dry docks, and, perhaps,
tear them to pieces He also wants to find
ont whether we really have mosquitoes here
AS large as Northern June bugs, and writes
a friend that he hasn't yet heard at his
Northern home the cheerful notes of a
bull frog, and will spend one evening
over at Hopefeld, where he will get
a serenade from a million or two of the
latter and the former Of the regular gall
nipper persuasion will present their bills to
him by the score, and will score William
terribly if he stays over there long enough.
Swarms of the bill stickers are migrating to
this side of the river nightly, and the music
Of the frogs can be distinctly heard over
here from shutdown until daylight. It's
wofully cheering l assure you, to the ,rnem-
Dloyed feiow-craft mariners who just now
nave nothing to do and no prospects for
anything, perhaps, for NOR tbs to come, and
ike the gallinippers, some of them will mi
crate to better climes.
