The Courier. journal of yester-
day says:
Considerable excitement was Gre
ated on the ieyee yesterday, and a
considerable lot Of freight left on
bank. The Mitchell came down
about 6 o'clock, landed, took on a
few sheep and some light freight,
and went on into the canal. In
about one hour after the Charles
Morgan made her appearance and
went into the canal like a scared
coon, never stopping at the wharf
at all. She was after the Robert
Mitchell, and they were on a race
to Evansville to fill out and 20 on.
The freight should have been taken
by the Morgan, as it was engaged
for her. 1t was first engaged-or a
good deal Of it-for the Mitchell,
but the agents transferred it to the
Morgan; and she could have taken
it, in a barge or on board, and then
beat the Mitchell into New Orleans.
We don't know how it will turn out
in regard to the freight, but ALT is
after Old Jeems with q hot poker,
and he'll make it lively for him
