Yesterday was far from being a pleasan
day; We had a mixture Of cloud, SUNSHINE
and rain, and not much of either The pros
poets are favorable for clear weather TODAY
Had 1t not been for the freight brought II
oy the arrivals since Saturday night, yester
day would have been a regular blue Monday
On the landing, for there was scarcely any
ching IN the way of up freights sent down t
The packets

w. 3. Pike for Bayou Sara, Is. l.. Hodge fol
Baton Rouge, Era No 10 and Lizzie HOPKINS

The Ouachita Belearrived Sunday night full
Of passengers.
The Indiana, hence for Cincinnati Friday
evening, returned to the wharf SUNDAY
with one Of her rock shafts broken Sac will
pc ready to resume her trip in day or two
AS the CIVIL Rights bill is causing consid-
cradle talk IN steam boat circles we can offer
our steamboat commanders no better advice
than the following. which we copy from the
NicksbnrS Herald. A few applications of
shoe leather, accompanied by cold water
bath, might be beneficial to few dusky in
tlylduals who may sooner or later seek to
obtrude themselves upon gentlemen:
60 Steamboatmen can not afford to assume
all the responsibility Of arraying themselves
lgainst the law, but they can leave the mat
Ter to tbs passengers; and if we know any
thing OF the temper Of these people, we can
safely assert that al "tests +" will be sum-
marty and permanently disposed OF. Con
3ress may force steamboats, to carry negroes
IN the cabin, but it can't force white men to
associate with them and as it has ever been
rule among Southern gentlemen to kick out
obnoxious intruders upon their society," we
suppose the negro color will not protect him
from similar fate. Business is business,
law or no law.
The champion had a /" staving" trip this
lime. There were -, All Of them.
There is a fair outlook for good deal Of
business this week.
Red and Ouachita rivers are in good navi-
gable condition at present, and both We're

A Nicksburg exchange has the following:
"a colored gentleman wanted accommoda-
lions on one Of our local packets the other
day. The clerk told him certainly, walk back
n the ladies' cabin, and then he asked if
the bridal chamber would suit The darkey |
his head a little and replied that he |
didn't care about anything OF that sort, |
'bheve Id ruyer go in de bureau. He |
thou ht this Civil Rights bill made the steam
boat clerk most too civil, and as he wended
his way to the apartments assigned wild de
oder colored folks, he muttered to himself, !
'eh, Ell; honey can't fool dis niger. Too |
willing | tell you. Niger 90 to sleep il
white folks bert and when he wake up he |
ind hisself missing. 'Scuse me-
The Ouachita Eele was getting freight |
right lively yesterday.
Hyde, of the St Louis Republican, evil
IDENTIFY wants our brains having none himself, |
Is is manifested by his daily reports, but we
Ire not afraid Sheridan came and we stood |
our ground; the compromise was made, we
did not WAIVER, and if that offer OF Hyde is ac-
'epted we have a hide ready for any one who
will attempt to accommodate him by putting
out our lights.
VIII s. Hays, the well known river editor
If the Louisville Courier-J ournal, was severe
y injured last Friday by falling down a flight |
If stairs. We are sorry to hear it.
Nearly week ago we called attention of
