The Hartsville has been laying up for several
weeks during which tire Capt Ryman has
expended about 5000 in reittng refurnish-
ing and repairing her. she is newly painted
throughout, and the magic touch of the brush
of Capt. Hargraves has vastly Improved her
appearance. Her carpets, bedding and furni-
ture are new, and altogether she is now one of
the neatest, trimmest, and most substantial
boats in the trade. Amy one contemplating a
trip down stream, could not do better than to
be on board of her at 10 O'Clock, A. NJ, to-day.
The Rock City, ia command of THRooP, is
advertised for departure this morning. Capt.

ing his whole duty to the travelling public.
b. The .SalLie Vest " our Sal'-the pride of
the Cumberland, is the boat for St. Louis to-
recently renovated throughout. Capt. Cor
bitt is in command, a gentleman of long expe-
rience in steamboating, and none more clever.
At the ledger will be found our valued friend
Smith, whose familiar phiz we are glad to see,
and with pleasure we welcome him back 10
the exploits of the briny Cumberland" We
always thought Smith gentleman of too
much sense to spend his time on the p" creek"
by some called a" Tennessee river when hir
services were needed on the old stamping
ground" The coIaing season, should no &C
cidents happen, we predict .SGlJje will have
a career the most brilliant she has ever expe-
rienced, and round-to with a pocket full of
rocks"
HOUSE BREAKING.-Some daring burglar or
burglars entered the house Of Z. W. Cole, Esq,
book keeper of the Nashville aud Chattanooga
Railrad, on Friday night last. The house is
situated on the Franklin Turnpike, short dis
lance from Broad street. The robber entered
the front door, and having deliberately sur
yeyed the premises, and taken the precaution
to guard against interruption, he entered the
sleeping apartment of Mr.. Cole, where there
was light burning, and two servants sleeping
on the floor. He extinguished the light, and
TOOK Win MN A. Golo Ia boyirr
glazed his pantaloons, containing bis money,
under his pillow. The robber also took large
trunk with him, which he carried, with the
coat, TO an adjoining field, where he rested to
examine his booty. Saturday morning every
thing was found The robber had evidently
wanted money, and failing to find that, he left
the coat and the trunk and its contents with
dignifed disgust. No other articles were
missed.
Our citizens should be cautious in guarding
against these midnight house-breakers. They
are numerous and bold, and require watching.
COMMISSION House.-In our issue Of to-day
will be found the card of one of our Oldest
merchants, Mr.. B. T. SHIELDS, who has been

q large business. In view of the growing
business Importance of our city, it occurs to
us that House of Deposit, such as Mr.. S.
