cinnati packet leaving this evening".
The Morgan Rather" will pass up for
Cincinnati at seven o'clock tomorrow
morning. The Arkansas river packet
is the Legal Tender, going through to
Little Rockville ca ckstep skips out
for White river tits evening, receiving
freight and passengers for all points on
that classic stream. THE Helena
World, of Wednesday, gets or the fol-
lowing marine paragraph: "Captsiu
Nat Smith has sold his half interest in
the Matte Belle to Captain Raggio, an
old veteran navigator, who is having
her thoroughly repaired, preparatory to
placing her in the st. Francis river trade.
She now lies in front of the residence Of
Judge Barton who, it is TumOred, will
take a fractional interest the coming
season" ...... Wonder what's become Of
that DennisOn, Texas, lottery? We
must have wealth IN that cOucern......
Judge Arch. Wright was passenger
down on the Allin yesterday. THE
Cons Millar brought down lot of gas
pipe, which looks like cur company in
tends extending their maius.....The
saw-nill OF LangstaG, Orm & Co., Of
Paducah, recently sawed out with sim
gle circulaT-saw eight thousand one
hundred and thirty-eight feet of lum rer
10 one hour two and 8 half minutes.
This same mill sawed ali the lumber in
the hull OF the Phil Allin in q little less
than two days. Here's nut for some
of our Memphis mills TO crack il they
want TO come in competition with the
Worthwhile Cons MiIlar discharged
her cargo, shout three hundred tons, st
the elevator, and received at the foot Of
MadtsOn....,.Captain John CoWdOn says
1t is not TOO not for him 20 wage war
against the pira'es.-...Dlr. Henry
Powers, the present mate 0. the Quick
step, as first mate Of the Confederate
cruiser Alabama during her entire SER
vice, and was one OF the last tn leave
her when sunk in her engagement with
the Federal slOop-of-wGr KeeTsaTge. Mr..
Powers was for a number of years en-.
gagged in the towing business at the
mouth OF the Mississippi, and from his
experience and knowledge of the freaks
of the Elud-lumps il all the passes, he
Is Of opinion that Captain Esds cannot
possibly accomplish what he proposes
with his jetty system......The Q1ickstep
had q gOod trip of miscellaneous freight
out of White river, Including twenty
bales cotton, two hundred and fifty
barrels -four, and about fifty buckets of
butter......The following items are clip
ped from the Cincinnati Enquirer: "Mr.
a. J. Mcconnell, clerk OF tue Arlington,
teiegraphed Captain Dan. Moore yester-
day that he was made the happy father
of fine boy, and that the mother and
son were doing well, in Sewicdiy, Penn
sylvauia. Mr.. Mcconnell will arrive
here to-day and resume the du les
in the office Of the Arlington, leaving
for Memphis this evening" The
Paducah NeuOS has this: 1.-THE new
hull for the BurksviIle viii be launched
next week. Captain Ben. Egan was
presented with box Of Goldfish, kit of
two mackeral and box of bone
less ssrdines, by the steambOatmen at
Evansville. Ben's reception speech was
q most pathetic one" ......A gentleman
Of Pine Bluff writes the Little Rock Ca
zette under date of the fifth instant:
q Mr.. Sibley, agent OF the st. Louis, Iron
NJ, zLnSR
has today opened fight on the anchor
Line bringing fTeights at fifteen cents
per one hundred pounds, and -four and
meal at thirty-five cents per barrel, from
st. Louis Vi0 Little Rock. The railroad
divides with the steamer Lizzie. CUES:
ti0n-DO your merchants get flour from
st. Louis over the Iron Mountain rail-
road at seventeen and half cents per
barrel from st. Louis, or cornmeal, ETC.,
BIT seven and half cents per one hun
dred pounds? That's what the railroad
gets on Pine Bluff freight to Little Rock.
A merchant OF Pine Bluff writes to au-
other merchant here that the rates on
freight TO that place, by the st. Louis,
Iron Mountain and Southern road, are:
Pound freights, fifteen cents per one
hundred pounds, and -four and meal |
thirty. five cents. He asks: How is |
this for freight rates? You Little Rock |
eTs can't do as WE'LL The gentleman to |
whom the letter is addressed says the |
lowest freight rates from st. Louis to |
Little Rock by the same line are forty !
cents per one hundred pounds and trans |
Ter; flour and meal, sixty cents and I
transfer. This Showing, if true. looks
ike pretty heavy discrimination against |
Little Rock, and we suppose is due to
between the railroads and |
steamboats,. Why cannot our merchants
Use the same tactics, and, through the
Memphis road, or steamboats,, or both,
compel as good rates as the Pine Bluff
people. Competition is the life of trade
At present flour; ETC., can be sold by
Pine Bluff merchants at profit all the
way between here and there at lower
ates than it can be laid down in Little
Rock. This won't begin to do"
