half pint of whisky was what the fool in
Cincinnati drank on q bet Of five dollars. He

frolic here.
Vicksburg Herald, 4th inst:
The river rose one foot and two inches for
the twenty-four hours ending yesterday
morning. which makes the total rise thus far
little over two feet. At Memphis the rise
has been rapid, and with swollen streams
running cut this side, it is probable that by
to-day or tomorrow the rise will be sufficient
to float the City Of Quincy off the bar on
which She now lies, and enable her to go on
her way to New Orleans. She will carry
part of her freight, and the balance will go
forward on the Jasper, which now lies along
side, awaiting a rise to help her off We were
mistaken yesterday morning. It's girl that
will one of these days call George Smith
papa. not boy, as we were led to suppose
and by, we expect.
Gen. Philip II. Sheridan military man
Of some little local celebrity about New Or
leans, is coming up as a passenger on the
Robert L. Lee to this city, and will arrive
this evening. Phil, as the boys used to call
him at school, will not make protracted stay
in Vicksburg, and his failure to do SO will not
be source OF any considerable amount of re-
greet. It's possible that the :" bandits " will
give him reception at the landing upon the
arrival of the steamer that conveys his lordly
Observation-Disclosures, but it's highly probable
that they won't. At any rate, he ought to
have an opportunity to speak his little piece
commencing I'm not afraid"
Memphis Appeal, 18th inst. At this point
the river is rising, the 81 gnal service observD
reporting feet inches in the past twenty
four hours, giving here IL feet IN the clear
above low watar. The Ohio continues to rise
from Cincinnati 70 Cairo. but is falling ut
Pittsbutg White River is stationary, and
Arkansas is filling, but there is plenty Of
water all the way up.
We were asked yesterday why the Appeal
did not apply ''the fleet. 1.-THE beautiful and
gorgeous" .'the swift ana palatial," 'she fine
steamer" etc, in chronicling the arrivals and
departures OF packets. Our reply was that
we consider that style among the lost arts;
that though it migh tickle the fancy Of few,
it had ceased to attract the admiration of the
many. Wern't we smart?
