-' We have heard numerous remarks
made in connection with the Bo,Cen since
she left the trade, some of which are to the
effect that she has injured herself irrecover-
ably. We are confident that did our ship
pers understand her position, they would
say her Captain did perfectly right. 1t is
well known that no man ever did more for
aplace and received less encouragement than
has Captain Dexter. He has often told u.s.
that unless our shippers would give home
boats the preference, at the same prices, he
should be compelled to lay his boat up du-
ring the winter. This lack of enthusiasm
on the part of our merchants and business
men has continued, and when laying-up
time came, the Captain received an offer for
the charter of his boat, whereby he could
make more il the two weeks, than he has
during the past season, and he accepted it,
rs any other sensible man would do. 1t is
also known, that the Charley BOcen can
make friends wherever she goes, and that
the Evansville and Cairo trade is not the
only one on the Western waters. The
Charley BOsceR is well adapted to this trade
however, and let US keep her with US. The
interest of her owners are connected with
Evansville, and let them receive support
from home. The B0lven will be here next
week, and we hope she will hereafter re-
ceive that support which is her just due, and
we will pledge our word she will never
leave the trade again even for day
d
preme Court of Tennessee, in the case of the
steamer Glendale VS.. A. Vacaro & Company,
of Memphis, it is decided that it goods are
delivered to a drayman, cartman, or any one
else not authorized by the consignee TO
ceive them, it is at the risk of the carrier.
That boats cannot deposit goods entrusted
to them on the wharf without public notice
to the consignee, and be exonerated from
their liability. But a boat notifying the
consignee, will be exempt--the usage or
custom of any port cannot be allowed to
supcrsede the necessity of notification of the
cOnsgnee. Nor can the custom of deliver
ing tD draymen supersegle such notice. When
curriers' make the wrong delivery, the value
of said goods, if lost, should he assessed, not
at their original cost, but their value where
they We're to have been delivered at the
time.
-.----On Thursday last two coal boats
sunk near Point Washington, on the Missis-
sippi The boats were blown ashore, and
one of them sank Immediately upon touch
Jag the shore, by the caving in of the bank
and the falling of large tree upon it; the
other flOated down some two or three hun
bred yards before sinking. Two of the
number of men engaged on them were lost,
owing entirely to their practice of self-de-
NAL, which is the most fitting rufogium to
IL. nf no hr0u cd

John Baxter, Of Jacksonville, Ind.
