The Radicals put forth eve ry effort in their power to attain, victory, and it is feared that they have succeed ed to a very great extent, thoa gh very little is dennitely known. Uf four coun ties in North Mississippi, two Panola and Grenada are reported to have gone Republican, and the others DeSoto a id Marshal Democratic. In both these Iulter the Radicals had a majority, there being 42 more negroes than wb.it regi t tered in the latter county, and about 600 more in the former. In both theiie counties the Conservatives worked lil:e Trojans, and if they have been success ful in overthrowing Radicalism in their midst, the result ia due sol.ly to their energy and industry.

Meyers, one of the gen uine stock of Davidson county pioneers, came into the oily yesterday and drew his pension as a Boldier in the army of New Orleans in 1M12. He was born in Neeley's Bend, seventy-nine years ago. The houso in which he first drew the breath of life is still standing, and is owned and rented by him to n tennut. Before he was one year old his mother was compelled to take him in her lap and ride a distance of Jive miles to save him and herself from an attack threatened by Indians. At tho age of twenty years ho came to Nashville to learn the trade of a sad dler, which he subsequently followed for fifteen years. Shortly niter coming to this city he joined the army, reaching New Orleans on the very day he became of age, with General Jackson, under whom he afterwards fought. Notwith. standing his advanced age, he ia re markably active, and in the enjoyment of vigorous health. He kept a diary of his travels in the army, and nothing de lights him inore than to have an attcii tive listoner t.i his reminisceuces of the adventures of X'imself and comrades, all of whom he rcmcnbers with a distinct ness which partake..' of the marvelous. r,imin,i Court.

The last number of the Typographical Advertiser, published at Phi.'adclphia, contains the following editorial para- irranh in relation to the receut visit of Tennessee editors and publishers to that city: We recently had the pleasure of join ing in the welcome to our city which was extended by our Mayor and lrusinets men to the Tennessee Press delegation. They had a good time among as, and we have no fear that they will ever forget the warm-heartedness of their reception. We have no doubt they were somewhat astonished at the vastuess of Philadel phia, the magnificence and wonderful beauty of the park, and the number and immensity of ter manufacturing estab lishments; but they were probably more snrprised to find ner eitiaens so kindly disposed toward the South, and lo ar dently desirous to "let bygone be by gones.

RIVER, BCgnCESR, mscKr.i.ANKous. -The landing waa crowded with steam ers all yesterday evening, giving Mem phis; with hsr limited wharf facilities the appearance of a first-class city. The river rose an inch, and will doubtless go an inch cr two higher, as the waters above are rising slowly. '1'hcre is now scant six feet tu Cairo, and about six and a half feet over Reeves' bar below, and seven feet at Helena bur. The weather to-day is cloudy and mild, with indications of rain. The W. J. Lewis came in from below this morning with thirty bales of cotton and two thousand and sixty-ninu sacks seed.

Allen came in from the Arkansas river with two hundred and fourteen bales of cotton; and the Fort Gibson brought in scvonty-fuur bales. The Legal Tender came in from White river with four hundred and ninety-five bales cotton, and re-shipped one hundred and ninety-five nt the mouth of Wlutoj river for re-shipment to New Orleans. The Yeager, from St. Louis, had a fair trip, and added nothing. The search for the lost Nettie Jones has been abandoned. For St. Louis Tho Mountaineer leaves to day at 5 p.m. for Cairo, St. Louis and all way landings. For Arkansas River The fine pas senger steamer Clnrksville, Capt. Hard wick, leaves to-day at 5 p m. for Piue Bluff, Little Rock and all way landings. Courteous and gentlemanly officers have charge of the oflice. The Batesville will go out to-morrow evening for all points on White and Black Rivers. The Memphis Avalanche, of Novem ber 1st, copies our notice of the Belle Lee in our issue of October 27th nnd actually has forgotten to give us the proper credit for it; and we know it is an oversight Captain Trask, but don't forget that adage: Do unto others (not as you would have them) but as they have done unto you. Ve forgive you this time, but don t let us catch you at it again, for it is not becoming of you, and we have too high an appreciation of you and your talents to suppose you would want to filch anything out of our miser able gotten up column. N. O. Com mercial HnUetin, 4th. At an adjourned meeting of steam boatmen, held at Louisville on Monday, a Boatmen's Association was organized, adopting substantially the same consti tution and by-laws as those of the Cin cinnati Association.

Levi, A. T. Gilmorc, L. B. Dunham, Moses Irwin and It. II. Wolfolk. The ollicers are: President, It. H. Wolfolk; Secretary, Adam Way land. The banquet will bo the affair of the season, and from the preparations made will do credit to the Louisville Steamboatmen's Association. The del egates representing Louisville in the Convention are Z. M. Sherley, II. Vcr hoeff, jr. L. B. Dunham, Moses Irwin, of New Albany; James Howard, of Jcf fersonville; George Ainsley, B. C. Levi, Pinckney Yarble, Frank Carter and Jo seph Mitchell. The City of Quincy turns out to have been the boat mentioned by the Leiiker nearly a week since as the one thnt offered equal cabin privileges to the black and white race. Comment is un necessary. Yesterday's St Louis Democrat says: Business fair, with rates to New Or leans tending slightly downward. Flour by steamer yesterday, 9llc per barrel; by barges, 80c. The probabilities are fur lower water. There is no favorable news from the upper river nor the Ohio. Tonnage in port for New Orleans is ex cessive. The Katie P. Kountx will come off the docks to-dny. She will load for Red river. The City of Cairo, ('apt. K. F. Dix's boat, will be off the ways to morrow, and on Thursday or Friday will come to the wharf to loud for New Or leans. St Louis sends seventeen delegates to the Convention, and all of them go and will work earnestly in behalf of the com mon interest. There are four and a half feet at Dog tooth. The New Albany Standard, of Satur day, has the following: About the fourth Iritil of the merits of the Harrington steam syphon pump (de signed by its iicent to act as uu equiva lent for the double-acting donkey pump, required by a recent act of Congress on steamers above :',i0 tons burden I, took place at the lauding nt Portland last Tuesday evening on the steamer U. C. Gray. The trial developed, as on for mer occasions, its entire incapacity to do .the work required us an equivalent for the usual donkey pump. On the trial above allnded to, the waterwas displaced in the hose by stesm, which caused the hose to burst with such force as to blow a portion of them, with the nozzle on end, overboard into the river. The steamboatmen of Nashville elected Captain H. H. Harrison a delegate to the Louisville Convention, and appointed a committee to revise the lew. The Lucy Bertram, Kob Roy, and An dy Johnson are to form a weekly packet line from Cairo toNewOrleanshereafter. A telegram of the 4th, from Camden, Ark., says: "Eighteen inches water. River falling. Weather clear. No pros pects of a rise."

The locnl of the Appeal this morning says: Tho St. Louis papers Bay that the gov ernment intends to establish an iron ship building yard, at a cost of $2,000, 000, somewhere on the Ohio or the Mis sissippi. If so, we hope the claims of Memphis, at the head of perpetual navi gation on the Mississippi, will not be ig nored. Let us go for this $2,000,000.
