LeVee Reflections.
TIE levee was the last place to visit
yesterdsy-everything was at dead
stand-still..... 1t seems that the marines
are becoming enthused ali along the
line as to the fall campaign. Here is
how the Vicksburg Herald summarizes
rIO 70 laf, 10
said that the party who obtained the
contract for carrying the mail from this
city to New Orleans will put in tri-
weekly line of boats to carry out his con-
tract, instead of sub letting. Two boats
are saiq to have been chartered already,
the Legal Tender and the Idlewild, and
sn effort is being made to secure the
third. Well, the more the mtrfier, and
the fewer the better share, so gentlemen
come along with your crafts and make it
lively. Let's see, nine packets from
here to New Orleans, four from Mem
plis through, and few from Helena,
White river and Yszoo river, Just to
fill in on off days. If business will JUS
tify it, all right ......... We've got the
Thompson Deans future movements
down fine now. The st. Louis
Republican puts it up this way: AFTER
the present trip of the Thompson Dean
she will be taken on the docks for exam
inRtiOn and necessary repairs, and will
also have her outside guards cut off to
enable her to store cotton better, prepar-
stOry to entering the trade between
Memphis and New Orleans the ensuing
fall, in which trade she will continue
until tee breaking up OF the ice in the
Ohio next winter, when she will again
come here. "......Thes song ofthe July.bug
