'''-'' The Grey Eagle is the regular Louis-
Vile packet this morning. This splendid
steamer is entirely new, was built especially
for the trade in which she is now running,
and combines all the conveniencies and lux
uries that go to make up modern floating
palace.
'----' The atlantic passed up about o'clock
Saturday in hot pursuit of the Autocrat.
The atlantic left New Orleans about 81
hours behind the Autocrat and was only
about four hours behind her at this port
1t was the intention of Capt. McGill, when
he left here, to beat the Autocrdt to Louis
vile. The atlantic attempted 10 pass the
Gen. QuitnaGn between New Orleans and
Memphis, but made most miserobts failure.
The QultmaR RIM away from her, with all
the ease imaginable.
1900 The BOaOIing Green departs to- day
for Bowling Green, under the auspices of
Capt. Sage. The Bowling Green is one of the
swiftest and most comfortable steamboats,
that runs in Green River. Capt. Sage says
he intends wearing her in that trade,
and we sure he will meet with a liberal
patronage.
THE Lue EaUes, let it be remembered,
is the regular South Carroliton packet
She will depart this afternoon. Our mer-
chants should have their freight on the
landing in season. Capt. Zach Taylor still
presides in the office, and graces tho head of
the table. Long may he reign.

not seriously. rs .e.
1.-The Dunbar is the fine passenger and
mail packet for Paducah to-day at twelve

broken on the 10th, while tying two coal
boats to tree with large rope hawser.-
The strain caused the blight to pull out,
occasoning the accident, which will prob
ably prove fatal.

another column, the Tribune will see that
she has taken some freight, but there is
Hplenty more left of the same Sort" The
unapproachable Autocrat will have her fill,
