DIED FROM HIS INJURIES. Dan Jordan,
the man whose right heel was crushed Mon
day last, at Steamboat, while coupling cars,
died yesterday morning between and 10
o'clock. Dr. Smart informs us that amputation
was not performed. JOrdrn received ter
rible nervous shock in the accident, and FROM
this he never rallied. He was a young man
in years, being less than thirty, and he bore
the reputation of being an industrious and a
sober man. He leaves a wife but no children,
we believe.

man yet, but understand that he reports no
hostile Indians in Nevada, and no cause for
alarm this side of Idaho.

they reported excellent success in subscriptions

Hearing of the return from Wash

ident of the New Orleans and Red
River Transportation Company, and
feeling sure that he was the bearer of
good news, reporter of this paper
called upon the captain and found him
as healthy looking, amiabIe and cour-

questions on the success of his mission
to Washington, aud secured most in
teresting data
Il found" said Capt, Aiken, "the
prospects for getting our Red River
appropriation very good. Our hopes
are to have the river so improved as
to secure good navigation and low
rates of freight all the year round.
Our city has, in great measure, lost
its North Louisiana and Texas trade
because Of the annual interruption to
Navigation caused by5io wafer every
fall. There is always plentySof water
passing Shreveport to giv6 good navi-
CATION out to the Mississippi if it were
properly utilized. When the river is
improved, as we ask for, we hope to
be able rot only to bring back tile
trade we formerly had, but to also
bring the surplus grain of Texas in
barges, id bulk in the same way that
it issznpws brought down the Mississ-
ippi. With Red River improved to its
properaeapacity,, and the railroads
completed to Texas, our city will them

mo. We don't oppose the railroad;
on the contrary, think have taken
aboutgas much stock in Col. Wheel
ock's road as any man of my means in
the city. The completion of that road
will bring Texas merchants here to
buy goods, and the steamboat men are
willing to take their chance of getting
share Of what they may buy.
Yes, I closed the contract fer carry
ing the mail threes timesa week ddr-
ing athe cotton season, and twice d

This is something that the Red River
people have been asking for "a long
time, andaI am sure,they will heartily
appreciate thesfavors thus shown them
by Postmaster General Key aud his
assistant, Ger. Brady.
/ II found Col. Robertson hard atwork
with his levee committee, but he has
men on it who do not think the gov
eminent ought to build levees to pro-
tect what they term private or inti-

them that levees deepen rivers and
improve Navigation, which they GER
tainly do, and hopes to ultimately sue
