EDITOR JOURNAL: My attention has
been called to the unfairness of the Louis
vile Journal and Courier in their notices
of this new Evansville boat.
In these notices, the fact that this elegant
steamer is mainly an Evansville manufac-
ture, and that she is owned and oficered by
Evansville men, and was built to run as an
Evansville and New Orleans packet-these
facts are not only suppressed, but it is stated
by at least one of the papers named, that
she is a Louisville and New Orleans boat,
and was built at Paducah.
Now we ask for no more than is due US,
for simple justice only; AM while it is true
the hull was built at Padueah, it is equally
true that in all other points Evansville may
claim the boat as the result of her enter
prise and skill. The hull was brought here
and finished and furnished by the skill of
our own mechanics; and surely our Louis
vile neighbors could afford to be generous
enough to give us credit in a case where we
are so fairly entitled to it-more especially
in view of the fact that the fine feet OF
steamers which they own, land which is
an honor to their enterprise), derives much
of its support from the large freights which
Evansville supplies them.
1t is, perhaps, not predicting too much
to say that in ten years Evansville will build
and own as many boats, and have as many
lines of packets, as Louisville. Our ship
ments now bear a favorable comparison
with those of that city, and there is reason
to believe that before many years our ex-
ports will exceed hers despite the great dis
parity now between us in wealth, trade and
manufactures.
When that time comes, we shall not have
to ask for justice. 1t will be granted to MS
without the asking. X.
