DIR. SHANNON "A gentleman of this name
bearing with him original testimonials of his
success from some of the most prominent pa
pers and cities in the West, has arrived here,
and in his circular advertises to cure Chronic
diseases by treatment peculiarly his own.
We know nothing of this treatment, but
judging from the high testimonials Dr. S.
bears, and the fact that he asks no pay II
the cure is affected, there must be something
very beneficial in his course. He is stopping
at the Sherwood House for few days. where
lie will receive calls. We make the follow
ing extract from the Nashville Gazette:
Dr.. SHANNoN.-This gentleman is still at
the Union Hal, relieving the afflicted. and
impariing instructions to those who wish to
benefit their race. The Doctor has made
SOME cures in this city. and is making others
which will asionsh every body. The prac-
lice of this Samaritan shows that there are
wonders in the world that none dream Of
here he is daily adding to his reputation by
The constant and unfi,ing success which at
tends his practice. G., and see HIN.

IL We noticed il the Evansville Journal.
a few days since. that an effort is being made
10 procure daily mail from our city to that
place, and to intermediate points on the river
The importance of such an arrangement
must be plain to all and, in fact, the neces-
sIty oil daily communication with all the prin-
cpal river towns between Louisville and the
mouth CT the Ohio river. Almost every town
below US looks solely 10 Louisville for lis pur-
chases. The trade already carried on be-
tween our city and Henderson. Evansville.
Mt. Vernon, and Paducah is very large and
rapidly increasing. We find in the packet
trade between Louisville and Henderson two
excellent boais which, even at this dull sea-
son of the year. find sufficient business to
justify their continuance. To almost every
town, daily transactions with our citizens
would occur, aud it would be ofgreat advan-
tage TO the commercial community TO have
such a line 90 into Immediate operation
The vast country surrounding these flourish
ing towns looks To them fora market and Tor
supp lies, IT'S well as for their news and cores
pondence.
We are satisfied that the growing interests
of these southern towns demand it. and we
doubt not, if properly managed. would sus-
tain it-thercby atlording increased facilities
TO our citizens aud the vast country below.
The above we copy from the Louisville
Democrat of last Thursday. The editor is
right in saying the growing interests of the
towns between Louisville and Henderson ac-
tually demand daily mail service and would
sustain it. The two excellent packets ma.
king semi-weekly trips between these two
points are supported by the trade as il is. ant
are promised by its rapid augmentation g
profitable business for the immediate future
We will venture the assertion that in III,
coursefof two years the business of this trad,
will cause ana justify the establishment of /;
daily line of boats. When this is the case,
daily mail could be carried on these packets
supported by the trade, without interfering
with their business, and consequently at
cost but trifiing amount above that of tn
transportation flour present tri-weekly mail:
That's fact. Ns5 kftE

The Brok en- Housed old.


In yonder house a man and wife
And children five did dwell;
The fate of that same family now
l will shortly to you tell.
The first in age, a hardy son
As e'er knew manhood's life,
Fell on Buena Vista's battle field
Midst victory's bloody strife.
The seconds life cannot trace
To foreign lands he strayed.
1t chances if he sees the home
Which in youth around he played.
The third, in love, rival had,
A challenge to him passed,
And there, on honor's field of blood,
He brealhed her name the last.
The fourth, a oman young in years,
With an infant, lives alone,
And weeps to think that scarce year
Her husband loved his home.
The fifth, youth Of tender age,
His parents pride and JOY.
Is by the late epidemic lett
A friendless orphan boy.

steamer Kentuci1y.-Ship Yard, &c.
Aspromised yesterday we give few par

steamer AentuciAys.Sni Kara. &c
Az promised yesterday we give few par
ticulars relative to dimensions, &c., Of the
new steamer, building at this place. We re-
gard the building of this boat, as the har-
binger of great and new business in our
midst, and therefore give it an Importance
otherwise not legitimately its own. 1t will
show that we can build at least the hulls
Of steamers as substantially, with better
materials and probably cheaper, than at
any other place in the West. But we shall
allude to this below.
The dimensions of the hull of the steamer
now being built here are AS straight RABBIT,
% feet breadth of beam and feet hold
She will be constructed out of the very best
materials, and launched about the middle CT
October. Capt. IT,. Hugo is the contrac-
tor and Mr.. John Cunningham, of Louisville.
builder. Mr.. c. has probably built an
hundred boats, among which are some of
the first on the river. Tie new Kentucky,
will cary about 300 tons.
Mr.. Cunningham informs us that the fac:l-
tiles for boat building at this place, are bet
ter than at Louisville there being plenty OF
the best oak within half mile of town; pine
lumber is as cheap as in Louisville; iron.
spikes and oakum arc little cheaper. A
boat can be built here of any dimensions
cheaper and out Of better materials he says
than at any other place with which he is
acquainted. In view Of these things, we
think every encouragement should be lent
to those who are now, in the erection of this
steamer, laying the foundation for a Ship
Yard at this point. That it would eventu-
ely prove profitable to the founders. and Of
great advantage TO the business and com.
merce of Evansville, no one doubts.
While speaking OF steamboat building
here, we may allude to subject IN this con
nection Several of our citizens have beer
speaking of chartering large steamer tc
run in the Evansville and New Orleans
trade. That In the winter season this would
prove profitable, when we are in the habit
every week of the whole winter season load
ing the largest Louisville boats, no one vii
doubt. Now instead of doing this, why dc
not some of our moneyed men build anC
build right here, a steamer of the capaci
ties desired? Certainly the interest on the
amount expended would not be as muci
as that paid for chartering good and large
steamer. The boat can be built here i'm a.
substantial manner and fine style and at al
little expense, at Louisville. In white
she would prove very profitable-and il
summer she would hold her own, if not do
great deal more. A boat built purposely 70
the trade, with draught, accommodations
&C.: with especial reference to the trad,
would be far better than any which could b
chartered. This would prove advantageou
to our city, and the foresliadowiug of mucl
greater things in the way ofhome steamboa
enterprise. We make the suggestion to draw
still further attention 10 the matter than ha
yet been bestowed upon it.

~ There will be, next winter, great
many Democratic aspirants TO the seat in the
U. S. Senate. now occupied by JESSE ID.
BRIGHT. We suppose his Excellency JosErn
A. WRIGHT. (th0ugh ny no means candI-
date, except 10 harmoniZc the party.) would
not refuse it. II. ID. OWEN. would like il
very much. Judge CHAMBERLAINE would
not object. Then, among The small! fry. such
as Col. German (of the fourteen-horses-s shot
from-under- memory J. l.. Robinson. w. j.
Brown. there will be candidates without
number. 1t is supposed by some that Jesse.
Thy means of money raised from constructive

advantage over all competitors.
