ISL Louis Globe Democrat 22d inst
The st. Louis Sectional Dock Com
pany have purchased the Union Dock,
and have leased the Carondelet Marine
Railway Dock Company's yards, docks.
etc, with the privilege OF purchasing
the same. The new company have or
ganized by electing the following
officers Lewis Glenn, President VIM.
J. Kountz. Vice President, L, 7. Morse,
Secretary, and WIN. Thomas. .Sr., Treas
urer. This consolidation forms ono OF
the strongest concerns in the West, and
will. no doubt, prove profitable invest
ment, as the officers are oil gentlemen
Of large experience in matters pertain
ing to river interests. and ought to know
Just what ought to be done. and how to
do IL.
It sounds queer to hear the discussion
going on between the tOwboats Oakland
and Fred. Wilson, and their talk about
time, and setting pegs, etc. They even
imagine they can get sight OF the
"Old Bob's" and the big Injun" pegs.
II they do, they will have to get long
twenty-six hours. They will do very
we'll for little squirt. but they must get
up into sixteen hours and something be-
fore blowing. The old Bob Lee and
Natchez used to, and the latter does
now make regular business trips and
get to Natchez inside Of twenty-four
hours. That's too easy Give us some
thing harder. "Whoop 'em up" to
Vicksburg In about twenty six or twenty
eight hours, and then Massa John or
Uncle Tom will talk about pegging.
The Joe b. Williams lay here until
Sunday afternoon, cleaning her boilers.
The Blue Lodge. from Berwick's Bay to
Pittsburg, loft here In company with
her, having also cleaned out here.
These voyages with coal fleet from
Pittsburg through Bayou Atchafalaya
TO Berwick's Bay or the margin Of the
Gulf OF Mexico, have been regular
business with the Blue Lodge for seve-
raj years past. The coal is used by the
steamships plying from that point to
the coast OF the Lone Star State

The lucky KERN has gone for good.
She got away for Louisville yesterday
morning, and, on her arrival there, she
Is TO be torn up and her machinery
placed in new boat. Good-by, Lucy /,
you were pretty and smart, but as q
money maker we never regarded you
as much Of success. -wheelers
are what the Yazoo and Tallahatchie
rivers want.
The Emperor Of Brazil wants to play
Pedro on the Grand Republic on the
waters OF the Amazon. SO say say.
fVicksbutg Herald 23d inst.
In speaking Of the arrival Of the Grand
Republic, the Vicksburg Herald says
"Dom Pedro and suite were among
her passengers, and she had no sooner
landed than something less than one
thousand people rushed on board to see
the Brazilian Emperor. The old man
was very plainly dressed, and wore n
hat that looked so old and slouch that
some Of the boys wanted to take him up
town and give him new one.
