The bark Mignon, which arrived on Wed.
uesdsy from Vera Cruz, delivered at that
port, from Genoa, several thousand pack
ages of cigarette paper, at freight of $1,000
in gold. The Mignon left this port laden
with cotton for Genoa, and it was rare
thing for her to get so good return freight.
The vessels Of the Mexican line have
transported from this city to Mexico 1000
bales of cotton the present season. This is
owing to the failure of the crop in Mexico
the past season. The cotton crop comes in
there again in the month of February,
which will then stop all shipments from
here.
There are twelve cargoes of salt due at
this port. Most of the ships have been out
over sixty days from Liverpool.
Every pound of stone ballast that arrives
on shipboard is Immediately bought up BY
the Jetty Company at sixty cents per ton
about the cost of discharging. This clears
the levee, while those that bring dirt bal.
last are either obliged to dump it in the
bottom, or have it hauled away immedi-
ately.

No Scaling,

We are again called upon to commend the
Louisiana State Lottery for the liberallty
and enterprise displayed in assuming the
risk of all unsold tickets in the great golden
drawing of December 27.
AS measure of precaution it was at first
determined to reserve the privilege of seal
ing of prizes in case of all the tickets not
being sold. Since then, however, 50 many
tickets have been sold. and those on hand
are going off so rapidly, that the compan y
has wisely determined that no scaling of
prizes shall take place, and that all holders
of lucky tickets shall be paid in full Merry
Christmas is rapidly approaching, and al
most before one is aware the day for win
ming golden fortune will pass away. We
advise all those, therefore, desrous of Sc
curing competency to at once come for
ward and purchase ticket in the golden
drawing.

The Steamboat CarondeIet.

Nearly three months ago Captain w. D.
Love, Henry Sgtzier, Robert Fitzpatrick
and George w. Purdy, of st. Louis, pur.
chased the hull OF the ironclad Kickspoo,
then lying at Alyiers. and one of the nine
ironclads that was sold here by the govern
ment over year ago. After the purchase
they Immediately set to work to obtain
estimates. which resulted in their making
contracts to remodel and fashion the iron
clad hickapoo into first class steamb boat,
and how well they have succeeded in their
original Plan can be seen by call an board
tae Carondelst taer new namel, now lying
at the head Of r 3hari street, almost COM
pieted.
The wood work from the iron hull to the
top OF the pllothouse was contracted for by
William Hann0n, of the Third District.
and all four Of the above named gentlemen
say that no better work or better material
was ever put in a steamboat. Mr.. Harmon
has had constantly employed some sixty
men, and the immense decx of the boat has
had the appearance during the past three
months o: a large ship yard
Mr.. John Clark was the fortunate ma.
chnist. lie having on hand the machinery OF
the steam BOAT Belize Of Alton, which was just
what was wanted for the Carondelet. The
boilers ara entirely new and tirst-class.
The dimensions Of this mammoth steam
boat are as follows: Length 22J feet, bre adth
of beam afty-four feet, depth of hold ter
feet five inches. She has ten water CHI
compartments aud will carry $500 ton:
dead weight. or about 5000 bales Of cotton
| She is stern wheeler and built expressly
| TOR freight, to run between New Orlean:
and ST. Louis. She will be commanded BY
Captain Henry switzier formerly of tbs
| Ruth, Magenta and Fall City.
The Caroade.et will cost when completed
| about $4,000, $4,000 of which has bee IL
laid out in this city, and godsend i. hal
proven to many worthy mechanic ant
laborer who feels truly grateful to the gen
t!emen wao bought the ironclad for no
removing her to its native city, St. Louis
to rebuild. The Kickapoo was one of thre,
ironclads built at st. Louis in 1864, b,
Captain Eads, of jetty renown, at a cost o
S500,000. She was sold to the present own
| ers for $lO, 600.

B Y TELEG APH,

The Color Line Mt Rolling Point.
NICKsBCRG, December ll.-A riot is re-
ported at Rolling Point, thirty.tive miles
above here. growing out OF an attempt of
the negroes to rescue a black man under
arrest Seven negroes, including two of the
leaders, were killed.
The Origin of the Difficulty.
MEMPHIS December u.-A party of ne
groes assembled at the village and were
drinking and carousing. One of them
pushed against white youth whom he
met IN the street. using rough language at
the time. The youth drew a knife and in
tlicted scalp wound on the negro, and
then fed to store for safety, The negroes
became very much exaspera;ed, and vowed
vengeance. To prevent this, warrant
was obtained for the youth, charg-
ing him with assault with intent
to kill, but before it could he
served, the negroes broke into the store
and beat the young Lad severely with an
iron bar. Finally, one of the party shot the
boy in the thigh. At the report of the pis-
tol the negroes ran; but the whites had be-
gun to assemble, and fearing general riot,
pursued and captured ten of them, put
them in q storehouse and placed guard
over them. During the night one of the
guard, not upon duty, came out on the
porch with gun on his shoulder, and was
ordered away by the sentinel on duty. As
he turned around, his gun, which was
cooked, struck against window and
was discharged. The negro prisoners,
thinking that they were being fred
upon, stampeded, and the guard opened
an indiscriminate firing, wounding two of
their own numoer, and two negroes all
slightly, but the prisoners escaped. Ths
above mentioned ''unpleassntness" oc-
cured Saturday, November 81. The most
intense excitement prevailed, as it was
learned that Noah Parker and Arthur
Brooks, two notorious negroes, were trying
to organize the negroes for an assault on
the place, and the whites were organized
under the Rev. Mr.. Ball, Baptist minister
who arrested Brooks and Parker. aud in the
attempt to rescue them, the rencontre re-
ported to-day occurred.

Plnchback's Prospects.

Senator West says that affairs in Louis,
lana are "simmering," and that there will
shortly be an explosion. He thinks the ad-
mission of Pinchback will be Immediately y
moved, and that a great many Senator's
who have heretofore opposed his admission
will vote for him when the case comes up
for action. The impression prevails with a
great many that Pinchback will stand a
tair chance for admission, and that he will
be investigated afterward. Senator Nor.
ton concurs generally with this view of the
case, but does not think that his admission
will be immediately urged. A great many
of tie more high-toned Senators, in order to
sent when it comes up. And again it is freely
said by Senators that the Republican party
can not afford to dispose of Pinchback' 3
case in the light of prejudice, but must act
according to the law, else the thing will re-
turn to plague them.-Nep York Herald.

More Victims of the Grinding Monopoly.

More Victims of the Grinding Monopoly.
The action of the executive committee of
the Western Union Telegraph Company last
week, in reducing the salaries of all the
employees of the line from five to twenty.
five per cent, is exciting considerable feel.
ing among the operators in the Office here,
who number among them some of the best
and most accomplished in the country, and
this feeling seems only to be in harmony
with that prevailing in most of the cities in
the country. The dissatisfaction is not
limited to the operators and clerks, but
affects the higher officials as well, for they
are the most seriously hurt by the proposed
reduction.
Meetings are to be held this morning in
Chicago, Washington, Cincinnati, Cleve-
land and other cities, for the purpose of
drafting resolutions of remonstrance, and
it is probable the New Orleans operators
will take the same course in day or two.
