An important suit, resulting from the col
lision of the steamers Richmond and Sabine
several years ago, tile latter sinking, but after
wards raised and repaired, was decided Mon
day by Judge Woods, Of the United States
Circuit Court, against the Sabine and in favor
of the Richmond
A force Of workmen were engaged in re-
pairing that sunken place in the wharf, near
the head of Bienville street, yesterday.
The Carrie A. Thorn's new chimneys are

The John Kyle, with her commander, Capt.
Hutchinson, who has been called the com
ing man," will be found at the wharf this
morning. That the Kyle yields the palm to
none in the matter OF passenger accornmoda-
tons, Mr.. Brown is prepared to prove to the
satisfaction of the most skeptical.
Recently the Mollie Moore made q trip
from St. Louis to Camden with an assorted
cargo, the trip being somewhat of . success,
from financial standpoint. The St. Louis
Republicans river reporter thereat goes into
ecstacies over the fact, and EXPIRE sses his feel
ings on the occasion in highly drawn terms
He says that the opportunity for establishing
a line to that section was never more Oppor-
tune, and that rich harvest can be reaped
from the residents of that section thereby; |
and he goes on further to say, in most nom |
chalant way that the demands of Ouachita |
are for Western products, which could be |
exchanged for cotton proftaoly.
These suggestions may possibly be the FORE |
runner OF another experiment similar to those |
attempted a few years ago, and which signally |
was developed then. Those experiments, |
particularly the one in Red River, resulted in |
the line departing from its direct route, the |
want Of return ireishts compelling them to |
take in this city on the way, to save them |
from heavy losses, and which finally ended |
in q general withdrawal. The truth of the
whole matter is, the trip of the Moore was
purely speculative one, and it cannot be
with the same amount Of success.
The f.rce of st. Louis fishing after cotton
is too apparent for US to seriously notice.
Her experiments in that line in the past may
have been prof table 70 the planters, but all
know the business was obtained only by ruin
Gus sacrifices on the pat OF the merchants,
such sacrifices as they are not likely TO en-
dure long Our st. Louis confrere forgets
that the riveis run down stream, and that
planters, no less III n others. will be guided
and controlled by their n .nifest Interests.
I st. Louis Republican. Is:
Capt. James Dlriagh purchased yesterday
from the underwriters the hull of the Para
yon at private terms. Capt. Openlander, the
hull inspector AZ this port, pronounces the
hull sound enough to build on. Capt Oar
ragh VII have the Paragon rebuilt at St.
Louis, but has not vet decided on the par
les to whom he will let the contract. The
null Is now being cleared out aad is found to
DC much less damaged than was at first sup
posed.
