the Washington Union, quoting Gen. Jack

steamer Julia Blown MI

A dispatch was received yesterday after
noon by Messrs. O'RIley & Mitchell, from
Vincennes, stating that the Evansville and
Wabash River packet Julia had blown up
above Darwin, killing Capt. Prunty, all
hands and four passengers. We hope the
extent of the fatality may be found, when
the full particulars are known, exaggerated
The Julia was a staunch, though small
steamer. She left Evansville last Friday
for the Wabash river, with some freight.
Capt. Prunty was with usjust before his de-
parture. His loss will be deeply regretted
by all who knew him.
The Julia was unfortunate on her last trip
down, having as we stated, narrowly escaped
total destruction by being thrown by the wind
against pier of the Terre Haute bridge
She was owned principally at New Har-
mony, and had been purchased especially for
the trade.

hoped for from the unanimity of feeling.

New KOteI.

A large Hotel has been long required by
the wants Of this city, The Sherwood House
is unable to accommodate the travelling com
munity, being constantly filled TO overlooking.
The Exchange would be in the same condi-
ton, if situated more convenient TO the husi-
ness portion of the city. No objections, we
suppose are made to the style in which both
of these prominent houses are kept-but we
want Hotel of far larger dimensions than
either. We are glad to perceive, that there
is an excellent prospect for this want being
satisfied the approaching season. A stock
company is forming to erect at this Place a
Hotel probably costing $4,000. The stock
has nearly all been taken, and we believe the
site selected. We understand this Hotel will
be erected at the corner of Water and Locust
etreets-thus being directly facing the river.
and convenient to the most business part of
the city.
