Ihet give one side of the imbroglio: SKW APPOINTMBST. Gen R. K Catterson haa leen appoinlc! Assistant Superintenuant in the interest of the old Board; aod entered upon the : dutiea of the position last night. OOBRECTIOX. Tlie impression that Mr. K. M. Mahan, President of the new company oi me Memphis and Little Rock Railroad, had assaulted Mr. B. I. Williams with a dead ly weapon, is erroneous. Mr. Mahan was not on the ground at the time the assault is sauilo have been made, hence the sta. -ment of parties that such an offense was committed, is untrue. THK STEN'KS ARK SH1FTKD. The attorneys for the new Board have withdrawn the papers ou the case pending before Judge Why teak; and a new writ of injunction has La-en issued by Judge McClure. We were erroneously informed resjieol ing the design of t he deputy sheriff at the railroad depot night Iwfore last. The olli eer only aimed to serve a writ of injunc tion, and was not there for the purpose of m.lrino arrests The otUeer performed his Ante- II hers U seems, differently. construed the object of the visit, and were there n rea. mess to receive aim iiiae charge of the train and the road. Regarding the control of the Memphis and Little Rock railroad there seems to be considerable interest manifested by our citizens. The new i-onipany are endeav oring to gain possession of the road, and their attempts are resisted by the old Board. The new President, Mr. F. M. Mahan, of Memphis, is possessed of in domitable energy, and seems determined to gain his point by using all the power of the law that can be brought to bear. The matter is beig investigated by the courts. and until a decision is promulgates it would be nnjust to take sides. The road we desire to have completed, not from DeVall s Bluff to Pine Bluff, as the main line, but from this city through to the Mississippi river opposite Memphis. Whoever shows to our people by works and deeda, that they are sincere and de sire the roari completed, and will work to accomplish this result, will receive all the support and aid due their enterprise. If ihe n, mm nan v intend to slight Little Rock and prevent the progress of work j J on the nnnnisueu pan, .hji.. ... interest ol our State and city would likely do more for our good than those having failed to complete the road. We hope the road will continue to run as this is the only dependauce of our merchants to ob tain gotais, and send off cotton. Some trouble arose on Saturday lietween the agents Qf both companies, and those on the part of the old company were ar rested at the instance of the new Presi dent, and released on hail. They inime diatelv recrossed the river and obtained possession of the road and train, whieh run out to the Bluff Saturday evening. Yesterday we learned that the new com pany had jiossession of the road. What the result will be time alone can MX, but we trust it will be for the best intsrests of both citv and State.

There has been a notable cleaning out of the light-lingered sporting gentry in the hist .lav or two. Most of them have, M doubt, made for New Orleans, to take advantage of tho races, which begin there next week. Sheriff Curry got back from Nash ville yesterday. He reports 610 eonvicls in the penitentiary with no work for them to do. This is a bad state of affairs, and is costing the Stato an Immense sum of money. Dry goods and other merchants com plain of the unusual dullness for the season. Tim reason probably is that planters are withholding their cotton, or rather that cotton is withheld from market Trotn various caiMes. The public are earnestly invited and urged to be present this evening at the u... at Greenlaw Opera House, held for the purpose of taking i steps in the matter of the building of the Monumental Church. Read the editorial on the subject, in to-day's paper. The two burglars, Collins and McGof- j fin about the capture of whom so many different stories were told in the papers ( yesterday, were carried before 'Squire Kiernan durirai the day and sent to jail to : await further examination, which was ; postponed until next Tuesday. Some duvs ago a Mr. Uus Miller, while moving, left a lot of furniture in charge of one Gashen. who took advantage of the, trust, sold t lie goods, pocseieu uie pro- eeds and vamoosed. Miller went oeiore i 'Squire Millard vesterdav and got out a warrant for him for stealing forty-two dollars' worth of household goods. 'Squire Swann yesterday sent a tmteher named Isaac Si' liloss to the Crim inal Court under two thousand dollars' bonds to answer to 1 lie charge of stealing a pocket-liook containine sixty dollars from an old negro named F.dniund Taylor last Monday evening. Archie Hushes, the negro murderer, whom the Criminal Court turned loose a short time since on the most flimsy and ridiculous pretext, was yesterday sent to jail by 'Squire F.'.liott in default of two thousand dollars' bail forstealing the boat of the man whom he murdered, a Mr. Ryan.

Another feature in that little game of the officials of tho Criminal Court to " put monev in their purses," of which we spoke' vesterday, is the fact that where the jieri fairlaf documents are returned " no goods found." fAe Me Aim to t.. Mm tlnaraim fiawn ''' and Clerk's . There are now, say, four hundred of these warrants or writs in tho hands of the Sheriff, and they represent about ?",3.rH), out of somebody's pockets and intii sonie ImhIv else's. A rifkl snug little sum for n few' week's work especially as it is in addition to their regular fees and salary. To-morrow is Advent Sunday the nearest to November SMIi, 'St. Andrew's Dav . whether before or alter. The four weeks immediately proceeding Chnstmxs are collectively styled in the Anglican and Roman churches mdmemt term sig nifying approach or arrival, and are so called in reierence to the coming celebra tion ef tho birth of our Savior. With this period the ecclesiastical or Christian vear is held to commence, and the lirst ! Sundav is termed Advent Sunday. The services appropriate lo the day will be j celebrated in the Episcopal and Catholic i churches. The Somervillc Filnm of Thursday says: " The time of the Court, since our last report, has la-en principally occupied with the trial of tho Macon rioters. Tho four negroes, Saunders Seal, Bill Brown, Bob Smith and George James, who, as stated in our last issue, were tried for riot at Boswell's, and lined SilHJ each, were also tried lor riot al Johnson's, upon an issue of former conviction, and acquitted, the defendants contending that the two riots were one, and t lie Court so finding. The same parties, with two others. Win. Sw itt and Wm. Walker, are now on trial lor setting tire to Johnson's gin-house. The trial is still la nding, the counsel, at the time of going to press, being engaged iu arguing the case. The case of State vs. suugett has been continued until next term of the Court." It has long baen known that the sim plest method of sharpening a razor is to put it for hall an hour in water, to which has been added one-twentieth of its weight of muriatic or sulphuric acid, then lightly wipe it on. and, alter a few hours, set it on a hone. The acid here supplies the place of a whetstone by corroding the surface evenly, so that nothing further than a stnoofh polish is necessary. Tho process never injures good blades, while badly hardened ones are generally im pro.ed by it, although the cause of the improvement remains mix plained. Of late this process has !.ioen applied to many other cutting Implements. Tho work man, at the beginning of his nootispell, or when he leaves ii in the evening inoiatM the blades of his tools wit h water acidu lated as above, the cost of which is almost nothing. This saves the consumption of lime and labor iu whetting. Memphis is not the only city behind the times. P.ven New York, our wonder ful metropolis, is old-foggish in many things -for instance lighting its streets. . The Tim, in taking thegas companies to ; ; task, says: "Another .lliislraliou of this : same indifference to progress and im provement is shown in the practice of the gas companies in lighting the street : lamps. For long years the lamps iu Ku j ropean cities have been lighted by thrust : ing up into the lamps a shaded torch, the i movement which raises the valves at the bottom of the lamp also turning on the i gas, the operation being literally quick , as a Hash. Here labor is dearer than iu Kurope, and yet it is only recently the ! M annul ; .in Company has Isjguu to use the ' touch-bearer. The Metropolitan Gas Company still sends round a man with a ladder, which he plants carefully agaiusi ' the lamp post, climbs laborously up it, gets a match out ol bis vest pocket, ! scratches it against the iron pillar, and ! then, turning on thegas with one hand, lights up with the other the pns-ess j taking about three times as long as the new one, and carrying all who see it irre : sislibly back, not 'exactly lo the middle ages, "but to the earlv part of the cen tury." A correspondent of t he Cincinnati I hminerriiil, traveling through the South, j thus speaks of our city : He says "Mem j phis is looking Bp, or at least the people i say that it is. 'I his is am ing to two causes: first, a good cotton crop; and second, the overthrow of an unprincipled political ring, whieh have hail their own way in Memphis lor so long a time. Perhaps there was no city in the South which has suffered so much as Memphis in this par ticular. I nprincipled and corrupt men got into office, because nearly all the white men were disfranchised, and they ' could use the i.-groes as they chose. The secret history of the Radical reign in Memphis would demonstrate the fact that loyalty is not always accompanied by other virtues. 'Carpet-baggers' is too. good a name for those fellows who made loyalty a cloak to cover a multitude of ! sins, and who tolled and duped the crcd- I ulous negroes into midnight leagues, and ; there made them believe that unless their votes were cast for this or that unprinci pled cuss, that the rebels would re- euslavo them. These 'Northern men' , did not injure themselves by their con- I duct, for they were p.st hope when they lirsffkaet foot'in Memphis after the war, but tbev did Incalculable injury to the ause they pretended lo represent, and helped to bring diagrac and defeat upon the party in Tennessee Some weeks ago, t gentleman named J. M. Pearl, of St. Louis, determined to start in business at Conn.. Miss., and pur chased a lot of goodn, valued at S,0UU, which were packed in seven large cases, and shipped on the -1th instant, on the steamer Luminary, to this port, arriving here on Monday the sth. Mr. Pearl meanwhile took the t ram from St. Louis direct for Como, arriving there about the same time. He w ait. si several days for his goods to arrive, aud not receivng them be wrote to St. Louis to inquire about tbem. The parties in St. Louis wrote back that thev had been shipped as per bill of lading on the steamer Luminary, and had duly arrived at Memphis. Ou reoeipt of this letter i about the SKh inst.l. Mr. Pear! wrote to tho agents here, who informed ! him that the goods had been uelivered to i his agents in this city. This alarmed Mr. , Peart, and ho immediately eamo to town j and put the case in the minds of detec tives Conuel and McCmie, who went to wo k to trace the job up. After three days of close " working." they, yesterday evening, succeeded not only iu tracing the goods up, hut in arresting the thief and his accomplice, and in recovering the greater portion ot the stolen property. How they did it we need not say, but they discovered that a Mrs. Bretztnan had come down on the boat With the goods. and had possessed herself of the informa tion of the facia detailed by ua In regard to the goods, and Mr. Pearl's movements. On her arrival in the city she was joinod lv her husb and, Fred. Bretzuian, a' tailor who works for Murray it Kidgely.and the nair caused the seven cases of goods lo bo reu.metl to their lodgings on .leiTerson Miroei, near mini, up yywwj Ho wan! s niimv osi.tiiiisiniivMii. ihto the goods w'ere unpacked, and this preci ous couple havo been selling thein by sample around the city. Great credit is duo the detectives for working up this case, as the robbery was ono boldly con ceived and adroitly carried out. Night before last eight hogs wore sto len from a man named Templeton, living on tho Grierson farm, some six miles from town. The theft was reported at headquarters, and detective Georgo Uafr don was detailed to work the ease up. During the day he got on the track of the stock, and about noon he made a descent on the shanty of Alt Benton, a negro living in Five Points, and thero he found two of the hogs cleaned and packed away, the ears, however, reniuining to identify them, and one hog not yet packed down. At tho place of Wyatt Bell, another ne gro, close by, another dead hog was found and ono running around the yard, put In there by one Alexander, another negro. Havdon arrested Benton, Bell and Alex ander, and Ihcy claimed that they had purchased the hogs from one Horace Man ning! another negro, and did not know that they were stolen. Sen wining siill further, the shanty of ono Tom King, still another darkey, one live hog and the remains of a slaughtered one were found. King' was carried before 'Squire KUioit vesterdav, and sent up iu default of sj.OM) bail to answer at the next term ot ihe Criminal Court. The others will be ex amined us soon as Alexander and Man ning can be arrested, probably to-day. Detective llaydon merits considerable credit for the promptness and sagncity displayed bv hiyi in this affair. Some days ago a correspondent ol the Mormiii 9mm, asked Mr. John I.oague some very pertinent questions in regard to county affairs, to which the County Clerk replied that he would answer when the writer of the communication came out over his own signature, and re- iterated the questions. Mr. lUnghain, we understand, asked bis corresKindent Iff he had anv objections to comply with 1 with Mr. Loague s conditions, and was j answered bv that individual that "he could not see it." Mr. Losignit, iu antici nsiinn however, that he would "see it," prepared an answer, which he held'ready for publication. When approached by unother ue-.vspaper mau on the subject, alter the failure of tho San' correspon dent to coino ou! with his name, Mr. 1 Loague very properly, under the eiretim slances. refused to gu e this "answer" for i publication, stating that I ho document would " tread ou too many people's toes," and, further, that he had already : been summoned before the grand jury ot the Criminal Court on the subject, and had told that body what he knew, promis ing to read this document to them ou Fri day (yesterday.) There was, unfortunate- X? no quorum of tho grand jury yester- dav, and an adjournment was had until Monday, at which lime the document will be road". We look lor it wHli groat eager ness, for, if rumor sailh truly, it will everlastingly "raise a howl" in certain quarters. Breakfast, dinner and tea sots, very j fine, at unction Ibis morning.

In reply to the card of Captain Davis, wo would state that our boats carried the mail several months free to accommodate the people of White river at a time when Captain Davis was notable to carry out his contract. Thero is no reason for the gallant cap tain to rush into print, and by it iiiisstuic mont of facts try to create a sympathy for himself, which ho damn not deserve, or to try and incense the people Of W hite river agaiusi us. He made an offer of one hundred dol lars, through his agent, to us, to carry the mail onetrip, and that alter he had ad vertised the I Mini I J to come out against us. f course we refused, and would do so again. He has raised tlie cry ol mon opoly (thereby stealing our thunder).

Last night one oi the most brilliant and fashionable au diences of the season was congregated to pay a deserved compliment to Mrs. D. P.

The performance consist ed of a new comedy entitled Love's Mas querade, or "How s"l:e Won Him," and If Mrs. Bowers had chained us beiore in her tragio efforts, her co.m dy was equally rs line, and sent her jdnnrers away thor oughly impressed with her real versatile powers, which can at one time curdle your blood with horror, at another draw tears of sympathy from eyes "unused to tho melting moodj" and then delight, ele vate and make us in love with nature iu Us merriest uicod.

It is do so, but it should destroy thopleasure I truly an admirable remedy for all diseases of those who are to witness it, for we are certain it will be per formed again. A more enjoyable evening's entertainment it is rarely our good for tune to witness. The comedy is excel lent, and it at times reminds us of "Much Ado About Nothing," at others of "The Wonder," it is none the less pleasing. To Mrs. Bowers wo accord the first place, not onlv out of courtesy, but because by her artistic rendition she brought out all the points of the characters surrounding her an the skilful artist places his ligures in such lights as will liost tell their story. She was most ably seconded in this by Mr. McColluin, who certainly won the lion's share of applause, not only from the circumstances in which he is placed, but by his very excellent acting; he hod a character in which his tine tiguro. easy manner and perfect bonhouimi wero of essential service. We have never seen Mr. Chan. Waverly to such advantage as in Arte, "Donna Diana's Chamberlain" was most excellent, there was no sign of want of proper preparation, the character was well rendered and capitally manipu lated. The same may be said of Miss Bella Hi lltlsil who also won a deservod encore in her song of "La Man ola." Mr. A. H. Davenport, Mr. Collins, Mr. Msgill, Miss Frankie McCleiinan and Miss Hattie Whitney ull contributed to render a charming comedy in a most delightful mauner.

Several years since, when Saturday afternoon performances at Pike's opera House, in thu last year of the war, were such popular resort fur all tho fast women of the city, this girl was an at! racl ion, as she walked and sat side by side with her Intimate friend, known as little Bartlett. They were noted for their beautv, Ida Lewis being a perfect blonde, with long golden hair, and her companion a sparkling brunette. Ida Lewis livetl here sevoral years, leading an existence that was a ceaseless round of w ild dissipation. She was always fortun ate, however, in having for a " friend " men of means, and generous, as well as foolish impulses, so she always hd at her command all the luxuries of fast life. She remained here until about two years since, when she went to New Orleans with a liquor merchant, who took her for his mistress, and established her headquar ters in the Crescent City. Here she lived until the time of her death, often visiting St. Louis, Cincinnati or Jfew York, how ever, .sometimes with a female friend, but generally In coineamy with her "friend."' She was ou her way back to New Orleans from St. Louis, when her death occurred, in company with another woman. One i of the passengers rescued states that she was qujle radiant that nfternoon with her still beautiful face, fine form, splendid clothing and Mashing diamonds. She was seen to jump into the water from the boiler deck, and to struggle hopelessly for a minute, and then sink forever, in the midst of plunging mules and struggling deck hair ds.

I looking over your excellent paper of Ihe 10th instant, my ey fell on I he following paragraph, under the head of I he South ern News: 'A Richmond paper states that the first craft ever moved by steam wan on the Potomac, and its inventor a Virginian.' " us man was .,umes Rnmsev, of Botc- t. -t county, Virginia. He constructed a lodel steamboat, using musket barrels B boilers, and launched it on the Poto in ic, about the year 17X0. It was a suc- oss, and of capacity to transport two men. There wero proaent at that time, among others, a ''apt. Morrow and a Mr. Filch. From some cause Morrow- sus lieoted that Fitch had some unfair design on Rumsey'a invention, and ordered him to leave tho ground. Fitch wont to New York, and built and attempted to run by steam a boat, but failed. Fulton, being aware of Fitch's plan and its failure, and being of -uperior genius, supplied tho de riciency, and in course gf time built and run by steam a lsat. In I ho meantime, Rumsey, who wasa poor man, and unable to secure sufficient patronage ill I he United States to perfect his plan, went to Knglund, where he and his plan wero favorably re ceived by men of means. He there built a steamboat and a few evenings liefora he was to launch it and make a trial run, while delivering a lecture before a scien tific society in London, on the motive power ot steam and kindred subjects, wan attacked with severe pain in the head. He paused, placed his hand on his fore head, fell and died. His Iwnes now re pose in Westminster abbey. Such is my information ou tbissubject. James Rum sey was Ihe brother of Dr. Kdwurd Rum sey, who died in Christian county in the year 1S23 or and uncle of the late Hon. Kdward Rumaer. Notic o . General Ticket Office of the M. and C. IL R.
