Powell will leave St. Louis, Saturday, fer the Ouachita direct. She is chartered by Scharff Bcrnbeimer. We call the attention of our readers to the card of the Ouachita River Consolidated Line, to be found elsewhere. This Line needs no recommendation from us, nor does its agent at this point, Mr.

Pleasant on Bayou Bartholomew last week. She had between four and five hundred bales of cotton and 2,500 sacks of seed for reshipment on the Blanks. The boat and cargo, we learn, were a total loss. No lives were lost. Mr.
