River News.

The river during the past week has
at present falling at tho rate of about
one inch every three hours or 8 inches
a day. We are no prognosticator, but
it is our opinion that there will not be
another rise OF any consequence before
next fall. There is, however, plenty
of water still left and through naviga-
ton will be practicable, doubtless, I'M
til about the middle of July, if not
later. The Mississippi and Ohio rivers
continue to fall.
The Little Bob 3. came down Fri
day and left Sunday night for Camden
with about all the freight she could
carry.
The Willie, for the Bartholomew,
left Monday morning with a good trip.
We were glad to see our merchants
patronizing her so literally. That
means business, you see.
The John Wilson arrived about 3
O'Clock Sunday morning with splen-
did trip. She left New Orleans with
all she could carry, and made between
here and there 1872 landings. This ac-
counts for her being so far behind time.
She left on her return at midnight
Sunday, rather light. She left New
Orleans Wednesday and is due here to-
morrow, and will leave on her return
Sunday. Capt. Jack Blanks commands,
Ben Cornwell does the honors of the
Office, and Jordan, the "mudder,'' will
be found ON deck.
The City of Augusta is now running
in the New Orleans and Vicksburg
trade as weekly packet, leaving the
latter place every Saturday evening.
Capt. Cryer informs us that our re-
port relative to his purchase of the D.
Stein was correct. The Stein is now
chartered, but will be brought up as
soon as the charter expires.
We have thus far been unable to as
certain the dimensions of Capt. Jack
Blanks's new boat. 1t is probable that
we will know more about it next week.

made 13 trips, IL OF which were to
Camden, and has brought &c, 900 bales
cotton, besides large quantity of seed,
slaves, etc.
We had always been under the i'm.
preston that our sister city, Camden,
had brought itself sufficiently into
prominence that its geographical posi-
ton were better known than for such
a journal as the Herald is to locate it
on the Arkansas river; and we thought
that that marine knew well enough
that if the Howard had run in the Ar
kansas river trade, from New Orleans,
she must necessarily have passed Vicks-
burg going and coming. Bad on Cam
den, though, that she is not better
known away from home. We suggest
ender a map for future reference.

THE P,nsENT EMPLOYEES OF THAT BODY PROBABLY
TO BE RETAISED-A LIST OF DEMOCRATS WHOM
TIE REPUBLICANS RETAINED.
lBY TELEGRAPH To The TRIBUNE
WAsHINGToN, March 1.-THE developments in
connection with the newly discovered old rule of
the Senate requiring the Vicc-Pfesidents approval
before an employ6 of that body can be removed has
proyed vertable Waterloo for the office seekers. A
more lugubrious lot in appearance is hard to be i'm
ARMED. At first the whole matter was pronounced
a Republican invention to cheat them of their hard
won spoils but the discovery that many of the
Democratic Senators upon whose good offices they
had confidently counted are non-committal, while
others are outspoken in their opposition to sweep
ing removals from the subordinate offices furnishes
ample room for the gloomy thoughts which possess
them.
What may be the outcome of few days exertion
and pressure such as they now bringing TO bear
upon Democratic Senators it is of course impossible
TO saw, but the temper of number of the more con-
seryative is now favorable to the retention OF all
the skilled employees i'll the Senate, regardless of po-
htical opinions For this course the Senators find
f Justification both in the necessities OF the situa
ton and in the precedent set by the Republicans.

The British loss is estimated at lfty-one officers and

may be ed here that in the Custer massacre fifteen

of the Indians was about 3, 900.
