The steamer New Camelia was
unable to enter the Tchefuncta and
come to Madisonvil!e and Old Land
ing, last Wednesday and Thursday,
on account of low water on the bar
at the mouth of the river. The
same thing occurred last week. Our
merchants, planters, stock men,
summer resorts, in fact all the BUSH
ness interests of wide section of
country are seriously affected by
this deplorable state of affairs. It
is plainly the duty of Congress to
appropriate few thousand dollars
to clean out the Tchefuncta and
deepen the channel at the mouth of
the river. We hope Congressman
Lewis will give this matter his
closest attention, and use his utmost
endeavors to secure an appropria-
ton for our river at the next ses-
sion of Congress.

FIRST BLOOD FOR THE NORTH.
EAsTERN-FATAL AccIDFSr.-At half.
past 8 o'clock last Monday nigh.
one OF the locomotives of the New
Orleans and Northeastern Railroad
was ditched, about a mile from the
end of the trestle work, in this par
ish, and the fireman, Charles r.
Whitney, was instantly killed, and
the engineer, Clarke. was badly
scalded about the head and body.
1t appears that the engine had
run to Slidell for water, and hav-
ing obtained supply. was backing
down to the construction train,
which was standing on the track,
when a COW ran across the rails in
front Of the engine. Tie animal
was run over, but the engine was
thrown from the track, with the
above fatal result. The body OF
the fireman, and the injured en-
glneer were taken to the city.
If we had law compelling the
fencing in of railroad tracks, the
above accident would not have hap
pened, and at least one valuable
life would have been saved.
