5000 The Weather, yesterday, was clear
and chilly. Fires were comfortable. In the
morning there was sprinkle of rain.
.'.... The steamer Autocrdt arrived yes
terday, with fine load of passengers and
freight. She left for Louisville. We are
indebted to her officers for copy of her
manifest and memoranda.
.-...' The Union was at the landing, yes
terday, with good load. She put off most
of her freight here, and then left for Louis
vile.
1.-The ID. b. Camp6eU arrived yester-
day with good load. Mr.. Travis will ac-
cept our thanks for manifest. The Camp
bell departs to-day at ten o'clock. She is a
swift and reliable packet, and her officers
are clever fellows.
.....Shippers will please bear in mind
that the Evansville favorite, Charley Bowen,
will leave to-day at II o'clock, and have
their freight promptly on hand. Captain
Dexter always has an eye to the advance
ment of the interests of our city, and it is
but fair that business men should remember
him in making out their bills of lading.-
The B0oceR is fast, comfortable, and COM
manded by the most sociable and pleasant
fellows On the river. Passengers will find
her accommodations unrivaled, and will
never regret taking passage on her.
1.-The Kate lSarchet arrived Saturday
night with fine trip. She left yesterday.
Capt. McClain reports considerable freight
yet to be brought down the Wabash, his
boat already having engagements for three
full loads.
......The Freestone arrived on Monday
morning, loaded down TO the guards. Most of
her. freight was for Cincinnati. She departed
yesterday.
49,. The Magnolia arrived Saturday
night. She did not turn back from here
as she at first intended, but left for Louis
vile, having promised her passengers to
carry them through.
1900 The Lac EdUes departed at her reg
ular time. Also the Dunbar with fair
trip OF passengers and freight
.... The Fred Iron was Mt the landing,
yesterday, and received considerable salt.
The Lancaster No ; and Auiocrat
their way up the river but we rather Judge
the AutOcrdt was too fast for her.
-..... The Polar Star, bound for ST. Louis,
was Mt the landing Sunday, and took on a
number of barrels of salt.
A fiat boat loaded with white lime,
from near Leavenwortb, was here Satur-
day, and discharged large quantity.
I'VE had the pleasure, last week, OF
accepting an invitation from Capt. Hall of
the SilUer Star, to make trip to paducah
on his beautiful little packet. After "a con-
finement of several months in a printing
office, an excursion down the Ohio, on a
luxurious boat is n blessing that We FULLY
appreciated but cannot properly express
We're it not for the kindness of river and
railroad friends, who, regardless of excuses
drag them out of their holes and compel
them to enjoy little recreation, Editors
would become SO fossiliZed, as to be totally
incapable of approaching or understanding
what is meant by the 81 bright side of life F."
trip down the Ohio mt this season OF
the year, when the forests have assumed
their spring garments of green, and the air
is redolent with perfume from the odorif-
erous vegetation that lines its shores, is sug-
gestive of pleasant thoughts and fancies
and awakenS emotions that refresh the soul
as Il shower of tears relieves and relreshcs the
heart stricken with grief Then, to be
placed under the care of il gentleman pos
sessing the social qualities Of Capt. Hall
who, as you pass various localities, favors
you with many traditions connected with
their history, or, again, TO be informed by
two such clever fellows AS Messrs Flournoy
& Bunting (who are well versed in such
matters) at what points on the lower Ohio
reside the most handsome ladies' who are
10 md ,O
thousand little incidents connected will
their steamboat experience-we say to b,
placed in such hands, while YOU steam i
down the river on so gallant craft th,
SiIrer Star is a luxury That one must enjoy
to fully understand.
By the way we will add that the Siigfi
Star will be found at the landing this morn
ing, receiving freight for Paduc;,h and in
termediate points. Passengers will find the
Star to have all the comforts OF large
boats, and her officers to possess all tn,
traits that constitute polite and accomoda
ting gentlemen.
