Considerable excitement and indigna-
ton was created yesterday by the running
of the blockade by the steamer Batesyille,
a small packet, Just up from, Memphis. The
fault attaches to the quarantine officials,
but the board of health at its meeting last
evening did not locate it on any one, al
though Mr. Wright was very anxious to do
so. The rumor about the boat being in
tected could be traced to no reliable source,
but the captain did tell gentleman of this

Columbus had always reported the boats,
but in this instance had failed. The boat
was in sight three.q quarters Of an hour be-

way wounded her feelings. She began
packing her Saratoga on Tuesday last sim.
ultancously, strange to say, with the receipt
of the first news from Hickman and each
additional telegram received since served
to accelerate her departure until the thing
was consummatcd yesterday. She went
out on the noon train, and Cairo,
like Niobe was for the time, all tears, and
like another HISTORICAL female still refuses
to be comforted The old girls last words
spoken to ourselves from the moving train
were, "Tell everybody good.by, for me,
darling; I'll be back when the troubles
over" What could we do. The response
stuck in our throat, but some how
the famous song managed to cs.
