Captain WOODBURY. was that he was gur-
chasing the outfit for the Rosa Miller,

under his personal supervision. The
Rosa Miller has been built with particu-
in Arkansas, is of extremely light
draught, and besides being an excellent
freight carrier, her passenger accUuurao-
datlons are equal to those of any boat
that can be built for the Arkansas river
trade. She is provided with ali the la
test Improvements and modern applian-

able and expeditions. Captain WOOD

IA Cairo correspondent Of the Gin
cinnati Commercial gives the follow
ing item concerning the cotton trade of
Arkansas river: "The introduction of
the transfer steamer Junius b. Morgan,
connecting the Cairo and Vincennes
railroad with the Cairo, Arkansas and
Texas railroads, at this city, will have q
noticeable effect upon the eastern cot
ton trade during the coming season.
Much of the cotton raised on the Ar
kansas river will seek an eastern mar
ket over this route hereafter, as it can
be shipped from Little Rock to eastern
ports without breaking bulk, and there
is no doubt that many a bale OF cotton
heretofore shipped to Memphis from the
Arkansas river, and thence by steamer
to this port, and by rail from here east,
will not 60 that way hereafter" The
excursion on the Parker last night was
brilliant affair and q magnificent sue
cess, at least so far as numbers and re-
spectability is concerned. She left her
moorings at about eight o'clock, her
PROV turned up stream, designing torun
until about twelve O'clock......A number
of steamers are advertised to leave this
port this evening, destined for all points
up and down the RIVER. Some design
ing party attempted to throw an imped-
iment in Judge KelsOe's way yesterday
evening and preventing his enjoying
himself with the ladies on the Parker,
by abiding to the judge and Lutte
Kelsoe as father and son. The Judges
youthful and handsome appearance,
however, thwarted the designs OF the
misohief-makers, and as far as we could
learn the judge was among the most
popular of all on board. Keep your seat,
judge......Captain Bob Wise is now one
