whom no more generous, WuO4e-Souicu SoA-
tlemen ever breathed the free air OF heaven.
In wishing to see the Idlewild often at her
wharf we repeat the remark and would wish
that sufficient business would offer to have a |
thousand boats like her at the landing every
season.
FRON OUR EXCHANGES.
From st. Louis Republican, Dec. LIST:
The body OF Capt. James McCord will be
taken to the family burial ground at Ciarks-
ville Mo-, FIR interment as soon as the river
is sufficiently clear OF ice to permit q boats
passing up. In the meanwhile the body VIII
remain in a vault.

Alic, in the government employ.

Kimmswick for six hours on the up trip and !
then had to to lay up.

feet inches
The Anchor Line will take out the adver-
tisements Of their boats until the river i'm
proves The Northern Line will probably

From Shreveport, November IS;
! The arrival of the Belle Rowland from Full
ton gives us later news from above the raft,
but nothing encouraging. The late rise up
there was, as we supposed, out of Little River
and Kiamitia and was very quiet about run
ming up seventeen feet at Fulton and as rapid
running out. The river was falling as low
down as Lake Place Thursday night. At Full
ton there was not over four feet in the channel
when the Rowland left on Tuesday afternoon.
| The limp of Thursday is barren OF water
news. Somebody must have moved Cypress
bayou out into the prairies or the dogoned
thing has gone dry. Ward Taylor never went
back on water for navigable purposes, how
ever much he may despise it on general prln-
ciples.
Some time Thursday night the Belle Row.
land came in from Fulton with 593 bales of
cotton, LAG of which were for our merchants
and the.ba!ance for New Orleans After look
ing around awhile she elevated the rates on
cotton to Sd per bale and picked up $50 bales,
all she wanted on the water. She lett Tor the
city early in the night.
The Maria Louise will leave Cincinnati for
New Orleans and this point on the lst prox.
The last up treights were shipped at one
| card rates. The last cotton went out at Sd per
bale
