EprroR JouRSAL:-The steamer j. II.
Done will. leave Evansville, Wednesday at
l o'clock P. NJ Can take two hundred tons
freight from there Yours,
LEWIS DAVIS. Commander.
The river at this point was at stand
yesterday, with the sand bars above the city
sticking out quite prominently. Business
along the wharf lively and freights Offering
freely, and boats scarce. Weather in the
evening Clear and pleasant.
The ]. II. Done was at Louisville yester-
day, and will be down to-day. 1t will be
seen by her advertisement in to-day's Jour
nal that she has entered the Evansville and
Cairo trade.
As we anticipated, the offers and several
passengers of the Charley Bowen give quite
a different account of the collision between
the Bowen and the Star on Friday night,
from that published in yesterdays paper
II is stated on their part that the Bowen had
left the upper landing at Uniontown, and
was going down in the regular channel, I'M
der good head of steam, when the Star
backed ont from the lower landing; and
that she backed directly out into the river
instead of swinging around gradually, rs is
usually the case. Mr.. MeClain, who was at
the wheel of the Bowen, sheered her bow
out from the Star as much as possible, and
stop ed lis engines several minutes before
the Slar was struck. The engine Of the
Star bad been stopped once, and then the
pilot OF the Star instead of ringing the bell
again TO go ahead, rang the bell to
back They as ert that the engineer of the
Star saw the danger and reversed the en-.
gines as 5000 as she stopped the second
time, ready to move forward at a m oment,
which he did on receiving the signal. A:
regards the story that the Bowen, kept OF
her course until she was hailed by the Star
Mr.. Jones, engineer on the Bowen, asserts
most positively that heard Capt. Dexter
give orders te Che pilot TO stop and 60 Il
the relief of the Star prior to their hail.
Capt. Dexter informs us that he has filed
a complaint against Mr. Moore, pilot Of the
- Star, for gross carelessness. The
heS - t.1 no ofor
and the blame will then rest upon the prop
shoulders. Until the Inspectors render theil
decision, all should withhold their cOndem
nation OF either party.
