THE FRANK PARGoUD -This steamer will
be found at the landing, head of Common
street, this morning, to resume her place in
the Vicksburg, Greenville and Bend trade
During her idle interval she has been put in
the most perfect repair, locked and beauti-
fully painted. When first launched-and she
is still new boat-her appointments were
not one whit better than they are to-day. No
passed the Pargoud in excellence, whether of
staterooms, cabin, or anything else essential
to the comfort or safety of her passengers.
Her career now at its zenith is without q
blemish; indeed her name should be taken
ss q synonym Of success. Good fortune has
always been hers; she never met with an &C.
cident, never lost trip and has at all times
been prime favorite of the public, as COM
bining speed and comfort
But the Pargoud has been not less fortu-
nate in other respects since her position in
the Vicksburg trade was established. She
has also had q corps Of officers that enjoyed
the solid respect and confidence of the pub
lie. Her commander is Capt. James NJ
1XlHKe, than whom more competent or popu.
k4ar gentleman never trod the deck of steam
| fer. Passing from the deck into the Office, we
! find Curt Holmes, McCrindell, Benedict and
Kelly, who are not less efficient in their posi-
tons than they have ever been remarkable
for their courteous bearing and unselish at
tenton to the comfort and pleasure of passen-
gers Such boat, under the management of
such men, cannot fail to realizs prosperous
season.
The Red River packet Col. A. P. Kouns,

geron clerk, leaves to-day at P. NJ, for

which she takes day in the Vicksburg and

The ST. Louis Republican speaking of the
recent convention held in New York says
"The deliberations of the Steam Naviga-
ton Convention in New York Gust adjourned)
has not been marked by any very tangible
results looking toward the amelioratioa of
steam boatmen. The same old formula of
offering set resolutions was gone through
with, the same plaintive note was heard in
the Council, telling OF oppressive laws steam
boatmen are laboripg under, and closing by
recommending to the National Congress,
modes of relief from certain present exac-
lions. The following is the spirit of the re-
Lamentations: A better safeguard for life
md property; fixed and permanent rules of
nnvsn Iiaff rOy nf
light vendors, and protection from undue
liability"
