The Phaeton, Telegram, O'Neol and
Pres. Ellison are making their trips as
usual.
Our Bellaire correspondent, in speaking
ot the draymen having contracts with the
proprietors Of the Pres Ellison being COM
pelled TO give them up owing to the low
prices, was mistaken. Their way OF de-
livering goods did not suit the proprietors
Of the Ellison, and consequently they
made other arrangements.
The following is the latest outburst OF
gall from the river editor Of the Pittsburgh
Dispatch in relation to the wharfage ques-
ton at this point:
f" 1t the parties down there think that
the steamboats-at least some OF them

stores, with the big wharfage staring him

An erder from the Treasury Department
directs that hereafter all persons applying
for either renewal OF license, or an orig
inal license, as pilots on steam vessels,
shall be required TO undergo the usual
examination in order that it may be de-

erly distinguish the colored lights used
as signals on steam vessels, and that in
future inspectors will issue pilots licenses
only upon certificates OF surgeons OF the
United States Marine Hospital Service
that the applicants therefore fulfill all the
requirements OF the rule referred 10. Sur
geons Of the Marine Hospital Service are
directed 10 make such examinations
free OF expense to persons applying there
for.
