Anderson is the regular mail and passenger
packet for Paducah. She leaves at noon
to-day. Capt. Ben. Egan, a prompt and
attends to passengers.

urbane and affable friend, Mr.. w. J. Markell

be taken through in excellent style.

oil inf. fba far nd
wharf, She is the regular mail aud passen-
ger packet, and those who patronize her
will find her accommodations complete
1.-THE Gen. White, her machinery hav-
ing been repaired has resumed her regular
daily trips between this port and Henderson.
She affords the most convenient means OF
communication between Evansville and her
sister city over the river.
......The Lue Euves and D. B. Campbell
both took out good trips Yesterday Trade
up Green river must be improving. The
other regular packets and the outside boats
also appeared to be doing fair business.
Our good-natured friend, lack Tay-
ler, Of the Minnetonka, has again placed as
under obligations for newspaper favors. BY
the by, Mr.. Taylor stopped off" the 'Tonka
yesterday, and has, we believe, accepted a
position on the Gen'l Anderson.
49,. Our rival Cairo packets the Charley
Bowen and Gen1 Anderson, we understand
had quite tight little brush between them
yesterday on their way up. They both
started out from Smithand at about the
same time, and it was "nip and tuck' be-
tween them until their arrival here, the
Bowen getting in few minutes ahead.
I'VE learn that the Illinois Central
Railroad Company are about to establish a
new line of steamers from Cairo to New
Orleans, one of which will leave Cairo eve
ry Sunday and Wednesday after the arrival
of the packets from Evansville. Capt. Dex-
ter has effected such an arrangement with the
Company that these packets will always
make close connections with the Charley
Bowen, awaiting her arrival when she is
detained so as never to miss. The Bowen
will also ticket passengers through from
this place to any point on the lower river.
This will give her all the advantages of a
through boat.
......A number of fine horses, including
"Stockbridge Chief "Draco," "Ethan Al
len" and others, came up on the Minneton-
ka yesterday, from Paducah, where they
have been exhibited at the Fair. They pro.
