RIVER ITEMS.
There is every 'prospect that
the transfer or rather reship
ping of Red River freight;
brought out of the Mississippi
and Ohio Rivers, will hereaf
ter be effected. at this point.
Since the mouth of Red Piver
has been without a wharf boat,
the business of reshipping has
been done at New Orleans.
There is no reason why this
should not be done for the fu
ture at Bayou Sara, and' ar
abundance of good reasons
why it should. Bay'ou Sara
is now provided with one of
the staunchest, roomiest, and
best appointed as well best
managed wharf-boats on the
Mississippi river. Its loca
tion is but scant 40 miles be
low the mouth of .Red River,
at a landing as good as any
from St. Louis or Louisville to
new Orleans : a point at which.
nearly every boat traveling
this portion of the stream in
variably lands ; convenient to
the facilities afforded by the
~ayou Sara coal. yard, it af
fords inducements which ag
gregated, can not be surpassed
at any point upor. the river.
Carrying freights to New Or
leans tobe carried back,making
a total orabout 400 rmilesofex
tra transportation with atten
dant risks and expenses is not
to be thought . of as a PERMA
NENT arrangement. It was
adopted' only in lieu of a BET
TER one, which latter is presen
ted in the wharf-boat Louis
ville, at the landing of Bayou
Cara.
The packets are' carrying
cotton and seed in very rapid
ly. Last Sunday morning the
-Arkapolis patlket Katie, pass
ed down with 2176 bales of
cotton and 5765 sacks of seed.
The same night the champi( n
K. Ei. Lee pia-sed down with
4025 bales anld 2464 sacks.
On the sanme trip, our local
packet Gov. Allen went into
port with a -sulendid trip, con
sisting in part, of 1103 bile
eitonl, 1341 sacks seed. 61
bbls syrup The Greenville
packet Frank Pargoud passed
Bayou Sara on Wedne-sdlav
noon, considerably behind
time, and carrying 2600 bales
and 6:;00 sacks. Thlie ifmperial
Thoinl;.eim Dean, for heir iritial
trip of the sea:son had 1900
bales and 9300 sa:ks, passing
down at 4 p. m. Tuesday.
We are well supplied with
boats now, the following mag
nificent steamers arriving from
New Orleans as specified be
low:
Tuesday, Katie, Wednries
day, Lee; Thursday, Thomp
son Dean; Friday, Pargotd,
Sunday, Natchez. It requiresot
early rising to catch either of
these highflyers. Our local
packets Gov. Allen & Ouachi
ta Belle arrive respectively on,
Tuesday and Saturday, and
Thursday and Sunday. Thus
every day except Mouday has
its arrival and some of them
two.
Irumors of something "start
ling"' about to break out in
steam boat circles are omiin
ously prevalent. The N. O.
DEM,CRAT says;:
"*Rumors were plentiful yes
terday of a compromise of op
posing interests,. of a partial t
sale of one ofour line packets,
and of more opposition on a
large scale, and which will ex
tend in more than one direc
tion."
We regret to see our river
friends cutting each others
throats, so to speak, but if tihe
threatened "''opposition on a
large scale" is the suc.e-sful
instrument of reducing freiklis
and fares to a reasonable fig
ure, then we hail it as a wel
come boon to traveling and
commercial interests all along
the line. Let thle figures go
down, but not below living
rates. $5 from Bayou sara
to New Orleans was what such
boats as the Keuner, the Cot- c
ten, the Princess &c., charged
and prospered on before thd
war, and our present boats
can and must come down to it
now.
While on her upward trip
last Saturday n ight, the
Ouaclhita steamer Bastrop
struck a snag c'tusing her to
make water freely and damag
ing all freight in the hull. She
was prevented sinking by use
o'f bulkheads, and passed dowi1
on Wednesday to N. 0. for re
pairs.
The heavy rains of Tuesday and
Wednesday have proven disastrous
to the cotton crop in this section.

rlJHIS GIN has been In use for the Ihe
four seasons, and several reoent lim.
provements have been added. It obv i
ates all friction at the ends of the cotten
box, prevents the roll from breaklnr,
and gives a larger yield of lint from tl:i
same amount of seed than any other g,.a
int use.- The Revolving Head lightecs
the draft and causes the Gin to run faster
with less driving power, thus doilg ia
great deal more work within the satne.

power than any other Gin. The seed It.

staple is increased producing cotton uts
this account of a greater market value.
This improved value, given by length ,of
staple,with extra production oflint added
to increased amount of work done, more
than covers the cost of the Gin in every
100 bales ginned. Testimonials sent by

PURE LIQUID PAINTS,
OR
tIOUSC PAINTER'S COLORS
We beg to invite the special attention
of Dealers and Consumers to these
PAINTb. They are manufactured from
thie very BEST AND CHOICEST PIG
MENTS, and mixed orthiunod with only
STRICTLY PURE Linseed Oil and Tur
peoutinel, and they cannot be excelled in
covering capacity, durability, fineness and
Ieauty of finish. They will neither
chalk, flake, or peel off, and work with
perfec't freedom nnder the brush. They
weighl from 15 to 16 Ibs per gallon, which,
if itself, POSITIVELY demonstrates their
eurity and superiority.
The vantious oelnllpolllnds knlown in tl.'*
market as Clhlcnical Paints, contain only
eabour 50 per cent. of Paint; the balarco
is water, introduced into the same by the
use of all alkali, to combine it. The
Ilast mentionedl Paints, so-called, only
weigh frem 9 to 10 lbs per gallon, which
we thinik certainly proves their lack of
ap'nacity or body. When water is mix
al with Paicat, it not only destros its
body, but, to a vuery great extent, its ad
hosivetcea, which all practical men know
is of the highest imluportance to pres-erve
in orelor t, miake a durable Paint.
We think, from the statenacnt we have
antde, that luyers cannot fail to at ONCE
ierccive that their interest will be Ihest
zxomnotted by buying our Liquid Paints
a. ePure Paints), in preference to the
so-called P'lln\ins referrod to.
