A ComparisOn.

In glancing over the marine columns O
our New Orleans exchanges one fact is dis
covered, which goes to show that although
Galveston has but twelve and half feet o,
water on her bar at nigh tide, large vessels
can be and are dispatched with as great
rap'dIty or even greater than is done by
our neighbors of the Crescent City.
For example, the steamship Bolivar, Cap
tam Doherty. arrived at New Orleans on
the sixth of May, where she took on 4l29
bales OF cotton, 225, SCI pounds of iron and
24OO slaves, and cleared tor Liverpool on
the twenty-sixth Of the same month. The
Nsw Orleans Times OF the second of June
reports the vessel as being inside the bar at
Southwest Pass, bound out.
The steamship Australian, Captain Peters
arrived at Galveston ON the seventeenth of
May, cleared on the thirtieth, and sailed for
Liverpool on the first of June with 5O3c
bales OF cotton, and ffty-nine barrels of
bone dust. The Australian is a larger shin
than the Bolivar, and the dispatch given
her at this port is at least noticeable. IA she
commenced loading eleven days after the
ship at New Orleans did, and went to sea
at an earlier day.

MT. Lincoln, before he moved to Spring

Lincoln was poorer than the office. 1t was
known that he was very hard up, and it
was also known that the Washington agent
was in town to collect the little SUN due the

Lincoln might be embarrassed, came down
to his office to loan the sum necessary to
meet the demand. MIR. Lincoln thanked
HIM, and said he did not need any loan.
lille the two were talking the agent came
in: The sum due was less than 500. Lin
coin went to his desk and took out an old
stocking and turned the coin on the table.
1t was counted out and met the demand
exactly. Well it might, for it was not only
the exact amount due, but the identical
money itself that Lincoln had taken in.
