.---- \ Mobile correspondent of the New
Albany Ledger says that the name Of our
quondoa Louisville and Evansville packet
L. C. Ferry, now in the Tombigbee river,
has been changed to {" Georgia Sykes in
honor of a young lady in Aberdeen, Miss
Thereupon the Louisville Democrat re-
marks Whether it was done according to
law or not we are unable to say. Congress
alone once had the power to change the
names of steamboats,, but we believe the
Secretary of the Treasury has the power at
present. Capt. j. II. Ford of New Albany
owns one-half of the Ferry, and we under
stand the name has been changed without
his knowledge and much against his wish
The same correspondent says that " Capt.
Jesse J. Cox is coming to New Albany in
the spring to build boat finer and faster
than the famous James Battle, PToUided, ihe
town don't vote for Lincoln
Well, suppose it don't vote for Lincoln !;
we will venture the assertion that a MAORI
ty of the mechanics employed in boat build
ing will and even if it should, Southern
men are not such fools not so take their
contracts where they will be filled in the best
manner and on the most favorable terms,
simply because the place happens to vote in
a different manner tron which they would
wish. The cry of prescription to Northern
manufacturers on account of political differ
ences is a humbug which has not even the
merit of deCeiving anybody.
