Mr.. w. G. .Surghnor, City weighcr,
reports cotton weighed up TO 5p. M,
last evening at 2,50l bales. This cotton,
be it remembered, has nothing what

merchants. In other words: This
cotton represents that which has been
purchased by our merchants, and, as
we said afew days ago, came mostly
from the Hills, west Of Monroe.

A general complaint reaches us OF
the slow way which the Queen and
Crescent Route has Of delivering
frieghts consigned through from New
Orleans to this point. Some of our
merchants say that they have had
freight on the way from New Orleans,
from ten days to two weeks, and even
in afew instances longer, whereas we
had thought that with the inclines
completed and the transfer in working
order not more than two days would
be required to bring New Orleans
freights through. When the Ouachita
river is navigable for the larger sized
boats, about 4S hours are required by
the steamboats, to make the trip to this
portland this is one instance where
