Orr NAL Packets.

There is continual complaint being made
against come of the Louisville and st. Louis
packets, by the travelling community, that
they do not stop long enough at this place to
enable passengers in waiting to get on board.
These packets arrive here going down from
two to four o'clock in the morning, and on
their way up from twelve to. -four. Our own
citizens find little difficulty in accommodating
themselvs to the hours Of arrival Of these
boats, providing they lay long enough at the
wharf to admit of their getting themselves,
their baggage. and perhaps families on board.
But the case is quite different with strangers
and travellers who come from the country to
take boat either up or down the river
This class of passengers come to our Hotels
fstigued, and retire to bed, relying upon being
called by the Agents or Hotel watchmen in
time for the packets-who rarely ever fail to
attend to their duty as soon as the whistle Of
the boat announces her approach.
To call passengers up from their lodgings
and get them with their baggage on board,
requires from ten TO thirty minutes, the latter
time only when ladies and children are con
cerRed. Now it is notorious fact. and one
exceedingly Annoying to travellers that not
more than one half the people who stay here
over night, especially ladies, can get from
the hotels 10 the wharf in time to take these
boats, owing to the very short time they stop.
Some of these boats have recently called at
O'Riley e. Mitcheel's wharfboat, exchanged
Mail bags, and p ssed on without tying a
line, while in justice to other packets, whose
officers better appreciate our trade, and mani
fest more lioeral spirit of public accommo-
dat.on, We feel bound to say that no CON-
plant has been made, nor do we believe any
cause for such complain texists.
Notice ia almost invariably given to the
clerks of the boats by the porters and watch.

tells or at their residences. and in nine cases
out Of ten. we are informed, it does not take
more than fifteen or twenty minutes for all
to get IN board, yet as case in point, yes
including many buainess men, nearly all Of
whom were ready in less than twenty min
utas, and the boat was at least an hour ahead
of her usual time. The travel through our
city is rapidly increasing. although it may be
utterly unworthy the attention of the Direc-
tors oil this packet line, yet we do not believe
them to be 80 blind to their own interest az
to treat the Evansville trade with such tota
disregard and contempt as some of these
packets have recently shown. We are no
protesting against such neglect SO much il
behalf of our own citlzens-who, when the,
are left are left at home, as in behalf of stran
gers whose delay is attended with a heav,
expense and important business made to sui
fer by this steamboat independence and stu
pidity. The people travelling from thi
place want from fifteen to thirty minute
to get on board of these packets, the late
time not often required, and no more tim
will be asked for the present. Can the
have it.

We are glad to see that Hon. 0. H Smith
President of the Evansville, Cleveland and

working vigorously in pushing ahead this

this road. and we hope his meetings will be

counties on Saturday, June 18th, at Mr.

also on the same day, at 2 o'clock. address

best feeling appears to pervade those who
live in the country adjoining this proposed
route Of railroad. Those who have given the
subject serious consideration, do not require
any arguments to convince them Of the i'm
portance of this road as an enterprise, and OF
the excellent effects it must have upon the
value of their own property. But there are
some who have not yet thought much or heard
much of the enterprise. These particular
ly should attend Mr.. Smiths meetings. We
hope farmers will leave their plow for half q
day or couple hours, attend these meetings.
and listen to Mr. Smith. They may make
more by SO doing than they could realize on
farms in a year. Recollect the proposed
meetings for Pike and Gibson are next Satur-
