Captain Dent gave his friends full time
to witness the closing celebrations OF

bales of cotton for New Orleans, 8
bales for James Hsz ,lett 306 sacks seed
for Memphis, and 0 head Of cattle for
parties here.
Capt. Loviz1, formerly in the em.
ployment of Messrs. Mattingly, Flow

circles here, was married on Thursday
last to Miss Josephine johnson, Of
Lake Village, Ark, at which place
Capt. L. 10 at presant residing.
There seems to have been no pro-
vision made for the registration OF river
men, aud they come under the came
rules as other citizens. Application
was made yesterday for registration
papers by a resident Of the Fourth
Ward, the party apply ing being a river
man whose boat left before the Regis
trar had opened the books Of his Ward.
He was refused the papers, and could
find no method By which he can exer-
else the elective franchise except by
staying over one trip Of his boat in Or
