Heavy Suit for Damages.

1t is we'll known that when the steamer
Belle YazoO entered the Bend trade the
merchants Of Vicksburg pledged themselves
to support her; indeed, if we are not very
much mistaken, it was the subscriptions and
Endorsements of the meIc4ntile community
that enabled the owners to make the pur-
chaee. Our business men saw the Bend trade
steadily slipping from their grasp, and this
was the plan adopted to check it. The Cot
ton Exchange stood pledged to it, but we
all soon learned that the Bend packet
owned in this city could have no connec-
ton here with the Now Orleans packets.
This left the Belle Yazoo almost help
lese, but some Of our merchants, includ-
ing Lsmkin & Eggleston, resolved to sup
port her and ship cotton to New Or
leans by railroad. A schedule of prices
vas arranged, and ever since Lamkin g.
Eggleston have been shipping almost ex-
clusively that way. The Cotton Exchange
appointed q committed, consisting of Presi-
dent Lamkin and William Muller, to see
the packet line commanders and make
some arrangement by which satisfactory
connection could be made with our local
packet and the old business relations with
the New Orleans line resumed. These gen.
tlemen were, however, so cavalierly re-
ceived BY Captain Leathere, that the pro-
pOsed negotiations were abandoned. The
Belle Yazoo continued to run while longer,
but for want of connection, was, as we all
know, forced to abandon the trade. In the
meantime Captain Leathers gave instruc-
tions to his clerks not to receive any freight
for or conslgned to the house Of Lamkin
& Eggleston. Freight for and from all
other houses in this city received due at
tention from the clerks Of the Natchez. but
not q pound from this house, though ton
der of prt payment Of freight was made in
every case since the conflict about connect
ing with the Belle Yazoo. Lamkin &
Egeleston, being large merchants and con-
slant shippers, this action on the part of
Captain Leathers operated very materially
against them, and hae, during the past two
months, caused them to lose good deal of
of business in the bends below. On this
account they yesterday brought suit against
him for the sum of $23, 500 dams ges, claim
ing that they rendered and offered goods
for shipment, the Natchez being a common
carrier; that she had ample room and &C.
commodations for receiving and carrying
the same, and usually did carry such goods;
that tender of prepayment Of freight
was made, and there was no reasonable
excuse for declining to carry the par
cells enumerated in the bill; that thif
steamer has refused, from time to time, to
carry freight for tho plaintiffs. to theil
great loss and damage in freight and sales

at New Orleans. consigned to Lsmkin &
Eegleston, by Flash, Lewis g. Co. The
bill closes with q demand for the
amount claimed and costs, and the
case fixed for tho fourth Monday of
March, in the Circuit Court Of Warren
county. Summons was served on Captain
Leathers yesterday. The case is Q very i'm
portant one, and the decision will be looked
for with much interest. The duty of COM
mon carriers has been settled time and again
by the highest tribunals in the land, and
we suppose it must be passed upon again.
If the Natchez can refuse to receive freight
from Lamkin g. Eggleston, the rule can be
made apply to every house in the city, and
every boat landing at this port can fol-
low in the footsteps Of Captain Leathers
and thus destroy the river business of
Vicksburg altogether, and if he could only
succeed in getting the railroads to join in
such combination, the mercantile interest
OF Vicksburg would be PROSTATE before
him. The subject is very serious one, and
should enlist the earnest cooperation Of
every citizen of this community.
There are twenty counts against Leathers,
on each of which. except one, damage to
the amount of $1,000 is claimed, and on one
$500. The suit is for damages. as We said
before, amounting in the aggregate to
$23 800, and the coste, which will very
materially increase the amount. As suits
for damages have not generally been pro-
ductive Of very remunerative results to the
complainants, we took the trouble yester-
day to inquire somewhat into this one, and
from the statements and opinions obtained
there seems to us to be no sort of dou 0t
that the claim of Messrs. Lamkin & Egg
lesion, for direct and conse quential dam
ages. is . very strong one, and their chances
OF winning the suit certainly look very fiat
tering. If some things that are talked of
can be brought out in proof on the trial,
Vicksburg merchants will open their eyes

Their orations and essays were espe-

exercises cannot fail to impress upon our
people the value of such a school to our

Prot. Ward and his assistant, Miss

we shall go onward and upward in our

Fellow students, the bell that calls us

and triumphs of the term, have become

with the proud satisfaction of knowing
that we did what we could in the labors
that were before US. Now we part at
least for while. Some of us will never
return as pupils to our school. 1t is for
me to speak the parting word, to signal
high resolves for our future course. But
