10 The Louisville. Evansville and Green
River packet Mammoth Cave, started from
Louisville on Sunday last, and went directly
up Green River without coming to Evans

here awaiting her arrival, who wish TO take
the Bowling Green route to Nashville. There
ia much Indignation among them, and indeed,
among our citizens generally on account OF
this course of the Mammoth Cave. a few
days since we wrote an article directed to
travellers bound for Nashville, stating that
as the Cumberland was exceedingly low,
their best route to Nashville would be up
Green river via Bowling Green. and that
they might rely on the Mammoth Cave be.

The Corn Market.

BY reference to our review of markets liz
to-day's paper, it will be seen that there have
been sales of Corn at heavy advance. On
Tuesday there were knolrn sales in this city
and neighborhood TO the amount Of over
thirty thousand bushels, at Jorty.tfre cents.
The ruling rates before had been about thirty
cents, although sales had been made at thir-
ty-fve cents. The purchaser at forty-five
cents was gentleman from Henderson, KY,
and his object was doubtless to speculate on
the state of things in the New Orleans mar
ket. The old corn has been shipped from
that city, leaving the market almost bare
Consequently, small lots coming in from the
country have brought as high as eighty cents.
But this cannot long continue, and probably
in q couple days we may quote Corn at thirty
cents. The present is mere speculative price,
caused by circumstances OF peculiar and by
no means lasting nature.

WRECK OF THE NEPTUNE.-The wreck OF
the old steamer Neptune, near the mouth oil
the Ohio, has been finally abandoned-the
wreckers being satisfied that it 10 longer con-
tains anything of value. The report that the
boat went down with twenty thousand dol
lars in specie OH board: seems 10 have proven
entirely untrue. The wreckers made thor,
ough and repeated search for it without dis
covering anything TO justify the report. The
safe was recovered last fall, we believe, but
contained only package olrotten bank bills
and Spanish coin of The value of twelve
and half cents. Six or eight hundred PIGS
oflead and about eighty or one hundred bush
els of shot were found in the wreck, and, with
the boilers ofthe boat, constituted all the ar
ticlcs of value secured.

Canal, arrived at Evansville. She is 4 neat,

DfFor two days there have been heavy
rains in this region. 1t is confidently antici,
pated it will cause a good rise in the Wa
bash. Talking about heavy rains, there is
certainly the meanest collection of roofs in
Evansville ever realized since shingles were
invented, by any town in the Union. On
every side, and from the most substantial
houses we hear complaints. Every heavy
rain we are completely ducked, even down to

we have practical sympathy on every side for
our sufierings, which is in,olerable.

In your reference to my Report on the
African line OF Steamers, you state the sum

This is a great error. The amount proposed
by the Report and accompanying bill was
only S4SO,OOO per annum. You cannot
make 1t more unless you include the sums TO
be advanced by the Government as loan to
the Contractors, and to be repaid by them
with interest.

done me the greatest injustice, because tits
may be corrected by a simple reference 10 the
report itself. You seem TO assume the fact
