New Orleans Friday night for the pur-
pose Of making arrangements about
placing the John b. Msude in some
southern trade during the summer" 49,.
The ALI. Stevens, a strengthening
craft, put in an appearance at the leVee
yesterday. She attracted much atten-
ton in marine circles, being out OF the
regular order OF Mississippi river steam
ers. She is propeller, and is built to
carry freight, having deep hull, above
the wster-line, and will evidently do
good business in the DyersbuTg trade,
where she is to be placed. She came
down from st. Louis, dischsrging here
265l sacks corn, SSl sacks oats, and 3UO
sacks Of bran, and has about fifty tons
for Dyersburg .......COmmOdoTe David

the Thomas Sherlock. William A.

of Memphis, and St. Clair ThOma-
son, q veteran steamboa men, are pas
sengers on the Mary Houston due up to-
day.....~The Vicksburg packet B. ID.
Hurt, which sunk several months since
love Vicksburg, is now partially out
o water and efforts will be made to
eight o'clock this evening. THE Susie
Silver passed down yesterday, giving
Memphis the cold shoulder. Our extor-
Tomato wharfage rates and the poor
levee facilities will make all the big
boats do that same thing eventually.
The Bee and barges passed up for st.
Louis yesterday I'VE have seen moth.
ing Of the city engineer and his aids
down on the levee yet. Guess he and
the levee commissioners have got stuck
in one Of those authorized consultations.

river with good iripOf freight and peo-
pie. We have no note of her day of de-
parture, if she intends making a return
trip.......GOvernor Kellogg has revoked
the commissions of Pliny Cox, Cherles
Richards, Henry Toilet and Charles
Schultz, pilots from New Orleans to the
gulf, or rather bar pilots at the mouth of
the Mississippi. THE Kellogg carried
a few acres Of empty ice-barges
back to s. Louis Monday evening".
Six weeks Is the time stated for the.
lsunchiDg Of Captain Hicks's new boat.
Work is said to be progressing finely.
1.-The mariners, being kindly disposed
toward good music, will p2trOnize the
Brass Band picnic at Jsmes's park to-
moTrow......Stack Lee, as skipper OF the
Allin, wears dignity becoming prince,
and when Captain Jim returns, will
have probably enlisted the heart and
affections OF one of the bellies of the
valley, which, Of course, will result in
an interview with the license contractor
and the offices Of a magistrate or priest.
Go In, Captain Stack; Well holG your
be 'ver. "A merchant, by invitation of
the captain of one of our local packets,
took breakfast on board the boat few
days ago, and while enjoying the meal
a waiter had to hold an umbrella over
him to protect him from the rain. II
the leak in that boat is not repaired, we
viii give the name of the packet......The
