will leave Wednesday evening on
time for New Orleans, making all
principal way landings. Captain
Washington is making engagements
for her.
William d. Mcfarland, a we'll
known river engineer, died at Steu-
benville, Ohio, Friday morning.
For many years he was engaged on
our best boats, including the Duke
of Orleans, Charles Boddman, Pat
Rogers, Charles Morgan, Thomas
Sherlock and many others. The
last boat he was on was the Fl. S.
Turner.
The new steamer John Wilson,
built at J~effersonville by Captain.
Blanks for the Ouachita river trade,
passed down yesterday morning
we'll laden and full of people.
Captain Blanks stopped off here
and returned last night to Louis
vile by rail to bring out his other
new boat, the Little Bob, which
.NH.T
is being completed at Jacksonville.
The Illinois, Captain Nat Green,
came in from the lower coast with
$40 bales and Us bags Of cotton,
1773 sacks seed aud 81 packages of
sundries. She returns tomorrow
evening at 5 o'clock, sharp, to Vicks-
burg in. place of the Phil Allin,
doing all way business and making
connection with the Pine Bluff
railroad. John Gwathmey, a fine
business man and pleasant gentle
man. controls the Office and is as
sisted by Neil Booker and Joe
Boyd.
The Belle Of Texas, Captain Geo.
Malone in command, enters the
trade between here and New Mad
rid, making semi-weekly trips and.
leaving Memphis on Tuesdays and
Fridays. The Belle is well suited
for the trade and will undoubtedly
do we'll. Mr.. Platt Rhodes, who is
well and favorably known along
the upper coast, is chief clerk.
The Coahoma, Captain Stacker
Lee in command, brought in an.
other big trip of cotton, having 629
bales and 8 bags and 3439 sacks
seed. She had a good cabin regis
ter, and was full of deekers, as
usual. She returns this evening
to Friar's Point, carrying the mail
and giving close attention to way
business. Captain Ed Thomas has
control of the office, assisted by
James Thomas and Billy Smithers.
The George W. Cheek, Captain
Mark R. Cheek, came in yesterday
morning from the lower coast with
125 bales and IS bags cotton, 1853
sacks seed and discharged her
cargo and left at noon for Captain
Steve James Landing, returning
in the evening with SO bales cotton,
1926 sacks seed, 76 bundles shin
giles and 81 packages sundries. She
leaves promptly this evening at five
o'clock on a return trip to Helena,
giving special attention to all plan
tation business. Hal Aydlett and
Thomas Huse, two clever and &C
commodating clerks, do the honors
of the office.
The new steamer J. G.. Fletcher,
which was built expressly for the
upper Arkansas, and named after
the Mayor of Little Rock, came in
yesterday morning from the Ohio
with 100 tons of freight, which she
is d%iScharging to-day. She will
await here a few days to select a
trade. She is an excellent light
draughIt steamer of $50 tons capac-
ity, and well suited for the Arkan-
sas river or any Of our Southern
tributaries. Captain Henry Hen
niger is her commander, and Mark
Anthony, an old, well-known boat
man, who clerked on White river in
