The bloody Third ward of Yicks-
burg learned the ways of our Third
ward in its palmy days, as the ma
rine brigade turned out in force at
the elevator there in the early part
of this week, and elected E. Q.
Carroll, the superintendent Of the
elevator, alderman by handsome
majority. We congratulate the cit
liens of the bloody Third in their
selection, for in Captain Carroll
they have a perfect gentleman, a
man of integrity, energy and per-
severance, and who will represent
them to his own honor and to the
interest of the citizens of the ward.

and examine her he will come
ashore with the conclusion that
steamboating is not played out
in this country yet; that the build
ing of such fleet palaces is an evil
dence that while rivers run boats
will live. God never intended that
our beautiful rivers should run idly
to waste, but should be the great
marine courses over which steam
boats should run and carry the
bulk of the great travel and trade
of commerce of the valleys OF the
West and South"
