The Tricks of Trade--Evading the
River Quarantine -- New '.Orleans
Freight Direct from St. Louis.
- [From thr X. JJ. I'icayunr, August IS]
Tin? quarantine against this eity by the
landings adotig the bends is working serious
injury to our local packets, which are debarred
twin puttlhg oil' either persons or
merchiUidisc at these various points. The
embargo is especially trying at this time,
when supplies should l?ogoing hence by their
accustomed moilc of conveyance. I'mier the
operation of tliis rigid restriction the river
cities aie receiving their freight by St. I/onls
boats, which coming directly from St. Louis
arc supposed to be entirely free of infection,
it will interest our readers to know how the
up river boats land at these points freight dl?..?#
tliSc # ! t v u'ltiin vof li*a i 11 ii <r slf
Louis. It seems so salt- to receive supplies
from the West, where yellow fever does not
exist, tluit the country people have no misgivings
about allowing these boats to land
anions Uiem, and even eo aboard with feellnjisof
josillvct Immunity against contagion.
I'lii! tin.c Is at band however to explain the
modus operandi of this new business in bend
freight? carried on with such appearance of
safety t>? the river towns which have qimraii-1
titled y.?w Orleans. Under the fostered impressloe,
that their orders sent here are tilled
?t-the \7est and shipped thenee lo them, the
planter ami country merchant are in no wise
concerned about the restriction apalnst their
old base of supplies. They wiil be surprised
to hear that their orders are executed i.i New
Orleans, notwithstanding, and that the merchandise
they receive with so much contlrtence
from St. Louis boats come direct from
this eit y.
It. is i nconvenient to fill orders at the West
for iiu;i"ciuindisc which Is ready here at hand,
so purchases are quietly made here and the
iroods as ijuletly put on a St. r,onls boat,
which takes them on tip the river, until she
meets i.'oinimr down :t sister Western packet,
whteb quietly takes 011 the bend freights
From >"ew Orleans and then lands them as
from t ae West at their intended destlnstlon.
i'hero exceeding shrewdness In this mode
>f shi' -juent in limes like these, when the
arejtul ices of panic-stricken customers are to
i>e considered and overcome without violence.
but- overcome. How frighted the
Satel 07. people are may lie best gathered
from .he fact that in their holy horror of anyIhing
the least connected with New Orleans,
(hey actually forbade tlie landincr at their
itity < f the new betnl packet J. M. White for
fear irf infection, though she was 011 her
irtiiiiU-n trip down the river. nnd fresh from
llio builders' hands at Louisville. Sim arrived
b ere yesterday with her Natchez freight,
ivhie! i it is presumed will be reshipped here
;>u a fit. tjouls hoat, nnd after transfer to another
St. Louis boat. In stream somewhere
past, t be bend, will betaken down to Natchez,
wherejit will be received ns coming straight
From the West. If the briul folks are satlstled
with this kind of treatment It Is no business
of our to complain. Only It seems that
If they enn afford to tiarbor freight from New
Dritsi ns by way of two St. I/ntis boats, they
inlirli t well receive It direct and put up with
their fears of contagion.
