BoytOn says it was as dangerous as ever
attempted, he having fearful battle
with the wind aud water, which was

dozen feats to illustrate the usefulness

structing wrecks on the water, destroy

Ths Little Rock Herald levee-snOozer
thus makes pretty free with trio Of
Memphis marines: "Captaln John Har-

tain Tenn Darragb, Of the Rosa Miller,
| %ers in the city yesterday. They, in
! conjunction with MSjOr J. d. Adams,
/ the Arkansas pirate, as the boys call
| him, seemed 10 be holding little con-
vention, and were in secret session
most Of the day. Il all reports are true,
We should not bs surprised If the liver
rose foot or tive. A rumor was indus
| triously circulated last night TO the eff
feet that they drank dollar and a half
| champagne, but it is an infamous false
hood. Hornibrook don't keep that
| kind; three dollars per bottle, and bills
all paid, is the truth o. the matter"
A Merited Compliment to worthy GEN
