A MIXED CROP. ITS ADVANTAGES.
W 9 lakejgleasure in laying before our
readers*the following letter addressed to
Gen. Lafavette McLaws by Dr. Hatch
er. It may be that the statistics given
are susceptible of much variation in differ
ent localities, and under peculiar vicissi
tudes of soil, climate, etc. In general,
however, We think that a judicious mixed
husbandry has much more to commend it
than exclusive culture, and our people will,
no doubt, in time, adapt themselves to the
best possible system of agriculture. Wheth
er that time has yet arrived or not, the
planters mnst decide for themselveC There
is much to be said in favor of cotton as the
greatly preponderating crop, and much to
be said against permitting jf ‘ the King ”
such excess of royalty. We do not pretend
to decide the vexed question-, but leave it
entirely with those who are most doncern
ed in its proper solution. To this end, we
are glad to have intelligent and practical
expositions ol both sides of the subject, be
lieving that the farmers will be much more
apt to hearken to one of their own guild,
when he tells “ what he knows about farm
ing,” than to the theories of city editors,
' however well supported :
Mcßean, Ga., sth July, 1870.
< fen. Lafayette McLaws .-
Sir : In accordance with your request, I
send you a statement showing the advan
tage of a mixed crop over one entirely of
cotton. The following statement is based
upon two farms of equal fertility, and con
taining two hundred acres each. In order
to cultivate them properly with the “ fif
teenth amendments,” it will require fifteen
hands to cultivate the two hundred acre
farm, in cotton, and five good mules, and
as they have to work the entire year round,
it will take ninety bushels of corn and two
thousand pounds of hay, each. I estimate
the wages per hand at sls per month, in
cluding their rations. It will require to
cultivate one hundred acres in corn and
peas, one hundred acres in cotton and fifty
in wheat, ten hands and five mules. I pro
pose to apply two hundred pounds of guano
per acre under the cotton, and two hun
dred pounds per acre under the corn. The
expense attending the cultivation of these
crops is as follows:
EXPENSES OF 200 ACRES IN COTTON.
Labor of 15 handstand rations
Corn lor 5 mules, at f1 75 per bushel. 787 50

I am happy to say that the fact is rapid
ly becoming evident, that our past prac
tice that of planting ajl, or nearly all cot
ton and purchasing ornr provisions, hss not
oniy been: unwise and poor financiering but
suicidal. The exhibits of the commercial
world clearly demonstrate that in the same
ratio that we increase the production of
cotton do we diminish its value and in
crease the demand for provisions, and con
sequently their price.
And as “ self-preservation is the first law
of nature,” and as we are under no special
obligations to send all of our money to the
North and West for provisions, I hope we
will be allowed to so reconstruct our plant
ing interests as to keep onr money at
home and thereby .-preserve the life of the
goose that lays the “ golden egg.,”
Respectfully, yours, &c.,

The Purchase of the Atlanta Opera
House for a Capitol—“ Fair Play.”
Strange as it may seem to honest men—
the unsuspecting people of Georgia—we
think there will be made another very
strong effort, by parties, interested, to get
Bullock’s packed Legislature, that meets
in a few days, to buy the Atlanta Opera
House, at a very large sum over and above
its cost, and that too, without submitting
the question to the people. We see editors
in Georgia advocating such a purchase,
that we expected better things of, or that
we supposed had more good judgment and
discretion. The Macon Telegraph and Mes
senger, though opposed to the Capitol being
at Atlanta—that paper preferring Milledge
ville—and opposed to the purchase of the
Opera House, as a Capitol, admitted into
its columns an article several weeks ago,
which carried with it so prominently the
ear marks of an advertisement by Kimball
or some of his friends, to sell the Opera
House to the State, that we at the time
alluded to and so characterized it.
A writer, over the signature “ Pair
Play,” in to-day’s paper,” takes up this
Kimball advertisement and reviews it close
ly. Any 'one who reads “Pair Play**”
three articles (the other one will appear
next week) can but be satisfied, first, that
Mr. Kimball and his friends are shrewdly
and energetically at work to sell their
Opera House to the State through the next
Legislature, without giving the people, who
pay the money, a chance to have anything
to say about it. Secondly—That Governor
Bullock has some large or important inter
est in this matter. Third—That Governor
Bullock, besides advancing monev at dif
ferent times to fix up the Opera House, has
permitted
for The OpCfa RoTtseTFourth-*!'hat money
was used by somebody to put this swindle
through the Legislature. Fifth—That the
Capitol at Milledgeville, for all practical’
State purposes, is superior to the Kimball
Opera House; that, as a building, it is
safer than the Opera House, & c. Sixth—
That Milledgeville is far preferable to At
lanta, or any other large town, for a Capi
tol, if the people yyant their members to
work and not 'frotib. Seventh—That it is
better to return to Milledgeville at once,
rather than be swindled in the purchase of
the Opera House, or making Atlanta stand

Important Decision Made by Mr. Chase.
AN ADMINISTRATOR WHO INVESTED IN CON
FEDERATE BONDS ORDERED TO MAKE A
NEW SETTIiEMRNfH 1
Circuit Court of the United Stales—Eovrth
Circuit and Distinct of Virginia:
Johu Head, Adeline Head (born Starke),
and Charlotte E. Starke, vs. Ezekiel S.
Talley, administrator de bonis non of John
- Mtorts, «tace—* «r > ■<— ■
This is a suit in equity brought to enforce
payment by the defendant to the plaintiffs
of their distributive shares ol the estate of
the ffdfcedent, John Starke.
The proof shows that the plaintiffs, Ade
line Head and Charlotte R. Starke, were
children, and the only surviving heirs of
John Starke, and ttiat the defendant had in
his hands as administrator on the 31st of
January, 1860, the sum of $7,249 88 belong
ing to the estate. It is claimed by the de
fendant that he subsequently disbursed
-considerable sums in payment of iust
claims against the estate, by whictvthe bal
ance in his hands was so far reduced that
on the 20th of September, 1868, only the
sum of five thousand and odd dollars re
mained.
The defendant states that the records
and papers of the Hanover County Court
were destroyed by fire, apd among them
the records of the settlement by which
this balande of about five thousand dollars
was ascertained.
It is agreed by counsel that the records
in sundry cases, in which certain decrees
and orders were made affecting the balance
in the hands of the plaintiff, were destroy
ed by the fire mentioned by the defendant;
bat there is no agreement that the record
of the last settlement, ou which he relies,
was thus destroyed.
It appears in proof that the defendant,
as administrator, invested five thousand
dollars in the loan of the States then con
federated In armed hostility to the United
States, and received from the officers of
the so-called Confederate Government a
certificate for that sum.
It is not disputed on the part of the de
fendant that there must be a decree for an
account, and that he is liable to the com
plainants for whatever balance may be
found in his hands exceeding the five thou
sand dollars. ,
The important questions in the case are
two:
First —Was investment in the loan of
the Confederate States one which a pru
dent person, acting as trustee or adminis
trator, might make ? And
Second —Was the investment being ac
tually made in a loan to a politico military
organization formed for the purpose of
overthrowing the Union of the States un
der the national Constitution, and estab
lishing anew confederation in a portion of
those States one which, under any circum
stances, can be recognized in the courts of
the United States as excusing the adminis
trator from accounting lor the funds in bis
hands to the parties otherwise entitled
lawfully to receive them ?
Upon the first question little may be
said. It must indeed be regarded as al
ready decided. The court of the State au
thorized by law to consider and sanction
investments by administrators sanction
the loan under consideration, and it is
agreed that the most prudent and careful
business men were in the constant habit
of making such investments. It would
seem, therefore, to be unreasonable to call
in question the good faith or prudence of
the administrator in the circumstances by
which he was surrounded. If there had
been no decision of the State Court ap
proving the investment, we could not say
that the administrator ought to be charged
if the investment were free from objection
on other grounds.
This makes it necessary to consider the
second question. But we need not exam
ine it at length, for in the case of Butts vs.
Crenshaw, in this court, we held that the
investment even of Confederate currency
in Confederate bonds by an attorney who
had collected a debt due to a citizen of
Kentucky in the currency under what were
considered to be justifying circumstances,
did not absolve him from accounting for
its value, although iD that case, as in this,
the investment had been sanctioned by a
court Whose decision, t>ut for the
condition created by the rebellion, wonld
have been conclusive.
This case, we think, covers the present in
principle; so in the case of Blortridge vs.
Macon, the Circuit Court of the United
States for the District of North Carolina,
speaking through the presiding Judge of
the court, held that compulsory payment
to a receiver under an order of a court of
the United States of a debt due to a citizen
of Pennsylvania, did not excuse the debtor
from the duty of paying the same due to
the original creditor.
And we think that these decisions are
sustained by the reasoning of the Supreme
Court In the case of Texas vs. White, 7
Wall:, 733.
Nor is there anythidg in the case of
Thorington vs. Smith, 8 Wall., 12, which
conflicts with the case of Bottfc vs. Cren
shaw, and Shortridge lffacon. In that
case, the Supreme Court held that con
tracts stipulating for payment in Confed
erate currency “ cannot be regarded for
that reason only ” as void ; but in this case
there was something more than the mere
use of a currency imposed on the commu
nity by irresistible force. There was an
actual advance of money to the Confed
eracy itself. There was an investment of
trust funds, entirely voluntary on the part
of the administrator, in a loan to the Con
federate Government to aid .it in its efforts
to dismember the Union mid to overthrow
the National Government.
Whatever may have been the motive in
ducing such an investment, however it may
have been warranted by example, or eveu
by judicial authority, itself involved in the
; general rebellion, it is impossible that it
should receive the sanction of a efurt of
the United States.
We must hold, therefore, the investment
complained of to be inoperative as a dis
charge from responsibility to the complain
ant, and wilt so decree, ordering an ac
count by the defendant with the complain
ants, and payment of such a sum as may
be found.

Extracts from John Mitchel’s “ Jail
Journal.”
Richmond, Sommer of 1864.
While in glchmond I have still constant
i ntercourse, and very agreeable Intercourse,
with John If. Daniel, for whose dally pa
per (the Examiner) I write almost all the
leading articles. Two other gentlemen, and
only they, give me occassional help—Mr.
RobertJlughes and Mr. Andrews. Daniel
all his habits and ways of thinking, and he
and I generally think much alike; but even
where we do not altogether coincide he does
not attempt to interfere with me. Indeed,
he knows very that if he did so I would
suddenly cease to write for the Examiner.
H<f is a bachelor and a woman-hater—for
good reasons that he has f ik teryfamlliar
with life amongst the higher classes of
TJirin and Genoa; and intimately knew
Cavour, who never once (as Daniel declares)
told the truth where a lie would serve him
as well, which I believe, for he was a disci
ple of Palmerston. Mr. Dahrel has a fair
library for a private honsc in Confede
rate times,’ having brought many most
valuable books with him from Europe,
as well as a collection of medals, cameos,
intaglios, and other bits of Italian art. By
degrees we have come to spend much time
together, and very often I write my articles
in his library. Such articles! MonDieu!
I point out dilligently and conscientiously
what is the condition of a nation which
suffers itself to be conquered; draw pic
tures of disajrnings and disfranchisements
and civil disabilities, such as we have ex
perienced in Ireland, and endeavored to
keep our good Confederate people up to
the fighting point. Then I have most free
ly criticised Mr. Davis for his failure to
practice retaliation sternly ; and described
the strategy of Grant, consisting in trie
simple arithmetical problem before men
tioned, which will beat us, however, at
last, simple as it is, if the North VFill only
stand to it. In pursuance of that arithmet
ical poljcy, General Gfrant hag very pru
dently interfered to stop the exchange of
prisoners (except hopeless invalids); he
would consider it a tempting of Providence
to let one healthy Confederate go, unless
he received in exchange at least four Yan
kee prisoners. But we cannot stand this,
for we do not estimate his soldiers so low
as he does.
July 20.—1n the evening of this day as
Daniel and myself—our work being done—
sat together talking in the Examiner office,
a clerk came in and handed me a teiegram.
It came from Major General Sam. Jones,
who had succeeded Beauregard in com
mand of the Department of South Caro
lina. When I saw whence it came a kind
of mist floated before my eyes, and for a
moment or two I could not read. Here it is:
“ Charleston , July 20.—Mr. John Mitchel:
It is my painful duty to announce to you
that your gallant and accomplished son
fell mortally wounded by the fragment of a
shell about 1, p. mV to-day whilst in the
faithful performance of his duty as com
manding officer of Fort Sumter. The shot
that has removed him has deprived the
country of one of its most valuable defend
ers. Sam. Jones, Major General.”
Daniel saw me read this. He stretched
out his hand without a word, and 1 gave
him the dispatch. He glanced at it, took
up his hat and went home. I went home
too; but not without walking two miles
round. When I came into our parlor my
wife and two daughters were sitting there.

Colonel Campbell Wallace , Marietta Georgia :
Dear Sir: Though personally I have not
the pleasure, of an acquaintance with you,
yet relying upon your/indulgence, I have
presumed to address you by letter.
Your name lias, for many years, been
associated with railroads as a prominent
and successful officer, anil you are presum
ed to be conversant with the practices of
the various railroad companies.
The point of inquiry I desire to make is
this: Is it the custom of r ilroad compa
nies, when they have trustees connected
with their road, to pay said trustees for
their labors and responsibilities growing
out of such trusteeship?
Would be pleased with an early reply.
Very respectfully, yours,
N. L. Angier. *
Marietta, Ga., July 2,1870.
N. L. Angier , Esq., Atlanta , Ga :
Dear Bir : Your note of yesterday,
although asking infotmatiou touching a
matter of custom in railroad practice on a
particular subject, I have no doqbt is in
tended to be used in connection with a
controversy of much bitterness Existing in
this State, in which I have, from the day l
ceased to manage the State Road, pur
posely abstained from participating, but I
do not see that I have $ right as a citizen
to withhold an answer.
So far as my knowledge extends, the cus
tom of capitalists, before negotiating what
are known as “ State epiiorspd railroad
bonds,” is to require that a regular mort
gage, appointing trustees for the protection
of the purchase of such bonds, be executed
and registered in each county through
which said road is constructed. These
trustees usually signify their acceptance of
the trust by signing each bond in a place
provided for that purpose. The labor per
formed by them it? thus perfecting these
bonds for market is heavy, and the respon
sibility connected with the faithful execu
tion of the trust is both morally and pecu
niarily very great, hence, in all cases that
have come to my knowledge, the compen
sation demanded and allowed has been lib
eral. Sometimes thqt compensation is made
by embracing in the same persons the
trusteeship and the agency for the sale of the
bonds. When this is done, commissions <
are allowed on sales in "place of a fixed
sum paid in advance; but, in one case of
recent date that I now call to mind, on a
three million mortgage, when the trustee
ship and agency were combined, nine or
ten thousand dollars were allowed on ex
ecution of deed, and a commission of 2%
per cent, on sales as made.
It is a matter of bargain between the con
tracting parties, and as one party assumes
the responsibility and does the labor, and
the other pays for it, I do not see how it
interests or affects the public or any out
side party, s Respectfully, etc.,
Campbell Wallace.
Field Marshal Prince Rivers and
His Awkward Squad.— The signal for de
serting the public square was the entrance
into town of six companies of negro
militia, headed by a military band,playing
national airs, and by Prince Rivers, on
horseback, as marshal of the day. Two of
said companies were in uniform, cheap and
showy. In fact, the getting-np of all the
military magnates, from Prince Rivers
down, clearly evinced the Congo blood
which so dearly loves crimson rags, brass
rings and tinsel gewgaws. A number of
stalwart negroes, we knew not their mili
tary position, wore large and glistening
old-fashioned epauletts. Each company
bore a gorgeous banner, floating to the
breeze; of these banners four were Nation
al, while one was Palmetto. The military
pageant was decidedly grand, awkward
and (risky. But it- aroused the gaping
spectators to a frenzy of enthusiasm. —
Rivers marshaled his forces about and
around the stand in a manner which might
have been systematic, but which apjieared
to ns to be exceedingly higgledy-piggledy,
, pell-mell. In his evolutions Rivers curvet
fed, pranced, caracoled and stormed in a
manner which would have caused an
Austrian field marshal to forever hide his
head. Rivers, however, has a fine figure, a
flnd.yoice, and rides well.

LIGHTNING SPEED ON THE MISSISSIPPI—

The Western papers generally, ind the

banks of the Father of Waters, have been
all agog for the last week over the great

of the Mississippi.
THE EXCITEMENT IN NEW ORLEANS.
The Picayune says:
The whole town is given np to ihe ex
citement occasioned by the race. Every
whisper is caught up, iterated and reiterat
ed until the wildest rumors as to the posi
tion of the two steamers are circulated and
received as truth. Enormous sums of mo
ney have been staked here on the result,
not only in sporting circles, but among
those who rarely make a wager. Even the
ladies have caught the infection, and gloves
and bon-bons, without limit, have heen : bet
between them. The peerless Lee fi the fa,
vorite at all odds, though the Natchez has
many friends at the odds offered. The dis
claimers of the rival captains led many to
believe that there would be no race, and
not until yesterday was It generally be
lieved that there would be one. It is fully
evideut that the banters of Capt. Leathers
has at last induced Capt. Cannon, against
his better judgment, to “ let the Lge out.”

THE TWO STEAMERS COM
The New Orleans Times says: x
There has been considerable discussion
as to the relative merits of thCsg well
matched rivals. As it is very wetj'known,
the Lee is very broad at the bow, while the
Natchez is sharp as a hatchet. The former
seems to push herself through the water
by main force, whilst the latter cats the
water like a knife, and glides along with
the ease and grace of a swan. The former,
however, according to her friends, has this
advantage—that the displacement of the
water is accomplished at the bow, thus
leaving the boat to run in smooth water,
whijst the latter, from her great sharpness
at the bow, catches the water midships,
and thus loses a considerable degree of
power. We are not the best authority on
this subject, but if we may be permitted to
go back to our boyhood, we confess there
may be something in this view of the ques
tion. We know by experience that a big
log moves more easily but,-end foremost
than when you reverse the position; and if
you don’t believe us, just try the experi
ment. The Lee duriDg this trip is particu
larly fortunate in its officers, the racing
crew including steamboatmen who have
been in the business for a quarter of a con
tury. We are not at liberty to mention
their names, but if our information is at
all correct, there is not a man in charge of
any department who is not thoroughly
conversant with all its details under almost
every circumstance.
The Picayune says:
The great boat race was still the topic
of conversation yesterday, and the merits
of each fairly discussed. The Natchez,
which is the newer boat by some three years,
was built last year at Cincinnati, and is
307 feet 6 inches long, by 43 feet beam, and
381-2 feet floor, and 10 feet hold She has
eiuht high pressure boilers, making all the
steam she can possibly work. She is pro
pelled by two high pressure cylinders, 34
inches diameter by 10 feet stroke, and
works a water-wheel of 42 feet and 11
inches in diameter, with 15 feet 1% inches
length of bucket, which are 26 inches
wide. She is a beautiful model, and in
every respect a superior craft.
The Robert E. Lee has been kept in such
thorough repair that she may be said to be
as good as new. She is 300 feet long by 46
feet beam anil 36 floor, and 9}£ feet depth
of hold. She has 8 very large boilers. Her
cylinders, the largest high pressure ever
built in the West, are 40 niches in diamter,
with lO fijet stroke, turning t* wfftcr-WliceJ
of 38 feet in diameter, with 16 feet 9 inches
length of buckets, 26 inches wide. Thus it,
will be seen that the Natchez is 7 feet long
er than the Lee —has 3 feet less beam and
2% more floor. She has 5 feet 11 Inches
more diameter of wheel than the Lee, witli
15 inches less of bucket, which are in both
boats the same width. She has the same
length of stroke as the Lee, with 6 inches
less diameter of cylinder; and carries about
the same freight. Neither boat carries, we
believe, any more than custom house meas
urement, which, in the Lee, is 1,407 tons.
The Natchez, it is claimed, carries 1,500
tons.
THE START.
The departure of the gallaut steamers
from New Orleans Thursday evening was
witnessed by thousands of people, and the
excitement ran high. Both boats backed
out at four minutes before five o’clock, and
when they got under way the Lee was
three rpinqtes ahead.
The Lee, up to the last advices, had gain
ed steadily but slowly. Baton Rogoe, 180
miles above New Orleans, was passed by
the Lee at 1:28, a. m., and by the Natchez
at 1:38, a. m. At Bayou Sara, 165 miles
from New Orleans, the Lee passed at 3:36,
and the Natchez at 3:44, the former being 8
minutes ahead, a gain of 5 minutes in time.
This makes the time of the Lee to Bayou
Sara 10 hours and 36 minutes, and that of
the Natchez 10:41. Natchez, 260 miles,
was passed by trie Lee at 10:04,aam., yes
terday, and by the Natchez at 10-18, mak
ing the time of the* Lee to that point 17
hours and 11 minutes, and of the Natche t
17*hours and 19 minutes. The Lee, it 4s
said, lost 4 miuntes taking fuel from a
boat, and the Natchez 8 minutes in land
ing. The best 'time Heretofore made to
that point was by the Princess', in 1856, in
17 hours and 30 minutes. Grand Gulf was
passed b? the Lee 22 minutes ahead of the
Natchez, aDd the Lee left Vicksburg, 335
miles from New Orleans, at 5:35, and the
Natchez at 5:55, a loss of 4 minutes to the
Lee from Grand Gulf—thus making the
i-time of the Lee 24 hours and 39 minutes,
and the Natchez 24 hours and 59 minutes
to Vicksburg. The best time ever made
before was by the Natchez, in 26 hours.
THE ARRIVAL AT VICKSBURG.
The Vicksburg- Herald of Saturday says:
The gregt race to this place of the steam
ers tee and Natchez has come off, and spch
excitement our citizens, doubtless, have
never before experienced. Never has a
steamboat race engrossed so much atten
tion, and, probably, never will the like
occur again. Just before-the arrival of
these boats at this place, hundreds visited
the landing to get a view of them as they
hove in ihe stretch below the city, and it
was a grand sight tq witness their majestic
appearance. The L,ee being the first to
heave in sight was the occasion of 1 much
cheering, and upon her firing a cannon,
opposite the limits of the city, the greatest
excitement prevailed. It was then that
the time was called for, 24 hours and 38
minutes to this sport, which was readily
put up on canvass In large letters and
figures, and stretched in front of the prome
nade, well forward. On the hurricane deck
was ‘Captain John Cannon, commander,
who stood alongside of the horns of the
steamer Princess, which his noble boat had
just won for making the quickest time on
record from New Orleans to Natchez, re
ceiving the huzzas of his friends, Bhe came
alongside of the upper wharf boat, and re
mained long enough to put off a few passen
gers, when she started off, picking up a
couple of. coal flats out iu the stream. It
is presumed she lost about eight minutes
' at this place. She towedi the flats about
! three miles, and took on abbot three hun
dred boxes of coal. She had scarcely left
the wharf when the Natchez made her ap
pearance at the point below. That steamer
haying gotten up to the city limits she
“ baD S e ' i ’ a way with her gun, just seven
teen and a half minutes after the Lee had
fired hers, being fourteen minutes behind
the Lee on running time. She also landed
alongside of the upper wharf boat, put out
her stage plank and let several passengers
get off. She then started off, and while
W l #* take two coal barges in tow, got
one or them fairly across her bow, which
detgiped her sevefgj minutes.
’ tM at MEMPHIS.
• * lull? .•» ..
Memphis, July 2—12:15 4 m.
The race between the Lee and Natchez
creates the greatest excitement amdng all
classes, and the news of their arrival at
different points daring the day was receiv
ed by anxious crowds collected on street
comers and at different newspaper offices.
So great was the interest taken that during
a portion of the day business was nearly
suspended. Betting opened last night
rather quiet. This morning when the news
was,*ceived, the Lee gained backers. The
friendfibf that boat grew more bold, and in
several instances offered small odds, which
were quickly taken by the Natchez bscfes’
friends, each boat being about equally di
vided. To-night betting is very heavy. It
is believed thaUrom thirty to forty thous
and dollars are now up in this city on the
race. Both boats have made arrangements
hereto coal without stopping. Their ar
rival here to morrow evening will be wit
nessed by thousands, so great is the interest
manifested. People from the country are
flocking to the city, and with our own citi
zens, will give the steamers such a welcome
as lias never before been accorded to river
steamers. Bonfires will be lighted on the
levee and oh the river banjt. The occasion
will be a sight long to be remembered.
THE RESULT.
{ [By Telegraph.] ,
St. Louis, July s.—The steamer 11. E.
Lee arrived here at 11:25, a. m., making the
run from New Orleans in 3 days 18 hours
and 14 minutes, beating the Natchez’s time
on her last trip 3 hours and 44 minutes,
and the James M. White’s famous time
about 5 hours. The Natchez was detained
by a heavy fog 120 miles below here, and
had not arrived at 6, p. m. A million of
dollars changed hands on the result. Thou
sands of people weut out to witness the
arrival of the boat.
Captain Leathers,of the steamer Natchez,
says that, deducting 6 hours laid up by fog
and 3ft minutes lost by repairing pump, the
Natchez beat the K. E. Lee’s time some 20
minutes. Banquets to both captains will
be given at the Southern Hotel to-night.
