1.-The Dunbar is the regular mail boat
for Paducah. She leaves at O'clock
Passengers will find the Dunbar one of the
most pleasant boats on the river Capt. FOw
ler takes great pride in having those who
take passage on his boat enjoy themselves
The Dunbar receipts freight through to New
Orleans.
"'--' The Lue Eaves is the Green River
packet to-day She leaves this afternoon
Capt. Mcdonald makes everybody at home
who takes passage on his boat and pays good
attention to freight. The Lue caves is the
only packet that leaves to-day.
49,. The Charley Bowen did not get off
yesterday until o'clock in the evening
She was delayed in order to get some stock
that came down on the freight train in the
evening.
The Jacob Musselman is ia II bad
streak of luck. The storm yesterday seems
in particular to have vented its spite upon
her.
At Cincinnati the wharfage receipts
for the week ending Friday, amounted to
$428 80, collected Of eighteen boats, being
an increase OF $ll 50 over the same time
last year.
.... We understand that Capt. Dexter, of
the Charley Bowen, left on the Eugene last
evening en- route for Brownsville, Pa. We
believe he intends contracting for a fine
side wheel boat to run in the Evansville and
Cairo trade.
We hope our river friends will not
forget that Messrs. Durham & Snyder on
First street, do all kinds of steamboat re-
pairing at short notice.
I'VE print in another place a letter
from Capt. Aft Edwards, correcting a state
ment we published some days ago in regard
to a difhcultV among the hands on the I'm
lou, while she lay at Henderson. We were
told Of the difficulty by gentleman who
we thought was fully conversant with the
fact mentioned, and published it according
ly. We gladly correct the error.
BGg~ Go to the 81 store. Bell leaves to
morrow
I'VE find the following items in the
New Albany Ledger of Monday
The calliope Grey Eagle, lying just above
the ferry landing, has been neatly repain Mt
ed by Messrs. English and Denwiddie o fthis
city, and now has the appearance of an en-
tirely new boat. She will resume her place
in the Henderson trade on Wednesday, her
regular day.
We notice the 3. J. Adams is al vertised
to leave New Orleans for this port this
evening The Pegtona, Chancellor, Grey
Eagle, and Louisville were advertised to
leave Saturday, but presume they all laid
over but one or two.
THE Cincinnati Commercial of Mon
day says:
Yesterday, about A. NJ, fire was discov-
cred beneath the ash pan, on the lower deck
of the Ohio Belle. 1t was soon extinguish-
ed without material damage.
An ARRAY occurred Saturday morning in
the Broadway Exchange, between MIR. G. P.
Riley, formerly clerk of the Ohio Belle, end
Mr.. Charles Sebastian, pilot of the same
boat. 1t is reported that Sebastian went
into the Exchange when Riley asked =. to
drink, which was accepted. As Sebastian
was in the act of drinking, Riley raised the
bottle and knocked Sebastian down, cutting
one of his eyes nearly out RILEY then
kicked him and made his escape Sebas-
tian had his wounds dressed, but his medi-
eyes. A warrant was issued for the arrest
of Riley. The cause of the assault we have
not learned. Both are well known on the
river. Sebastian was conveyed home to
Louisville, on Saturday, on the Strader.
MoNTEzUMA, Ind, March "a, 1861.
Gentlemen Your journal of Friday the
22d inst. is before me, in which l see it sta
ted that the Unions crew deserted her at
Henderson, on Wednesday, and that they
complained of unfair treatment on the part
of the cook. Your informant was altogeth-
er mistaken in the boat. The Union did
not leave Evansville until Thursday morn
ing; did not land at Henderson at all; was
not deserted by her crew, or any one oil
them neither has any of them complained
of unfair treatment by any one. You will
please make the correction.
We had the best up trip of the season,
and are now on our return, with enough
freight engaged to put our guards in the
water The Wabash is getting low, and we
may have difficulty in getting out.
Very respectfully,
ATE II EDNyA anna
