we are not there in person. ANY other party

GEO. J. DUNCAN,
Eiver Reporter n. 0. Bulletin.
The weather vas slightly wet yesterday and
the prospect for little more of the same
kind to-day is good. Our fire boys turned
out in force yesterday despite the rain. Well,
1t served them right, they are always growl-
ing land justly too about the scarcity OF
water they had enough in theirs yesterday
There was not freight enough hauled to
the landing yesterday to load dinkey, con-
sequently business was dull and several
packets were compelled to lay over.
We don't mind it at ell when contempt
rary gives us due credit, but the following
from the st. Louis Rep,tlHcan rather gets the
best of us. If we ever pu blished those items,
we hope never to see the back OF our head
again; "jus so"
"NEw ORLEANS.
"The BULLETIN Of Thursday says: The
Charles Bodman, with barge in tow, arrived
from Cincinnati yesterday. She came along
without much trouble until she got here.
After putting eff some freight here last even
ing she pushed on into the canal, and has
doubtless got of this morning.
"A barge containing upwards of 10000
bushels of coal sunk on Saturday in thirty
feet Of water at Pumpkin Patch. 1t belonged
to Bigley, OF Pittsburg. The fowl boat Bixley
tried to save it, but there was rotten place
in the bottom of the boat, and she sunk in
five minutes"
The Ouachita is rising
We have nothing late from Old Red.
We don't carry our poetry machine in our
hat.
The La Belle, owing to force Of circum-
stances, was compelled to lay over yesterday
She leaves positively at 5 ?. NJ. to-day We
refer our readers to her special notice in an
other column.
The reason that this reporter wears high
hat is, that his better halt, who is red headed,
pulled all the hair out Of the top Of his head,
and portion OF the scalp with it. He now
has to keep it pouiticed and consequently
can't wear a low-crowned hat. James, you
amt the only red headed person in the world
We only wish you were.
There are more boats in port at present
than there is business for.
The Texas leaves tomorrow at 5 p NJ for
Shreveport, Jefferson, and all way landings.
She will attend to the Bart Able's business,
and all freight entrusted to her will meet with
careful attention.
The Ouachita Belle was unavoidably de.
tanned yesterday, having laid over at the re-
quest OF several shippers who, owing to the
baroness Of the grain market, were unable to
complete their purchases, leaves at 5 P. NJ.
to-day for Camden and all way landings.
The following named steamers left port yes
terday Alice for Amite River, Frank Par
goud for Chicot City, Era No. 10 for La
fourche, City of Q1incy for st. Louis Wa
loon for Lover Coast, Mary Ida for Upper
Coast, and Maumelle for Arkansas River.
The Natchez, for Vicksburg, and Seminole,
for Grand Ecore are receiving this morning

The Stella Block leaves next Tuesday, the
9th inst, for BGuf River.
There is some mud on the landing-more
mud than bu>ine ss.
We Amt ga disciple of Jupiter Pluvius,"
we take ourn straight, and as for Lydia
Thompson, in the words of the great (?) |
Sheridan, we not afraid; now, for fear
that some people will not know what to make |
of this and other remarks in this Issue, We re-
produce the following from the river column |
of the Times, of the 4'h inst, and give it the |
benefit of our circulation
''Good Lordy, how mad we are, That poeti-
cal disciple of Jupiter Pluvius, and some dis
tant connection Of rude old Boreas, says that /
we are red-headed, and We would like to retort
on him, but the fact Of the matter is, we can
not see the color Of his har for he wears a
stovepipe hat, and it is supposed that inside
of it he carries that poetical machine of his.
SO it is doubtful whether he has any hair left
by which to discern the color of il. The only
revenge we ever expect to obtain is to wait pa
tiently until the chief of our blonde troupe
Lydia Thompson, returns from Old Eng gland,
when we shall report how the matter stands
to her, and then we know that we shall have
q repetition in New Orleans of the old Chicago
Story"
James, we never knew before that you were
the Lydia Thompson troupe-but
you call it yours, and IL must be that you are
doing it, for no one has ever, to our knowl-
edge, questioned your veracity. Let us know
when they will arrive.
