The Grand Armada arrived just after
midnight yesterday morning, with hand
some trip.
She lies over and goes out to-day at

tentiveness and politeness. Let her spa
cious cabins be crowded
The Big Grey Eagle, the monarch of
the Louisville line, will be due here to-
night, but may not arrive until morning.
The New Albany Ledger, day or two
ago, held the following truthful language
in reference to this magnificent craft:
The Big Grey Eagle has no rival now
running on the Lower Ohio She is SUI
perior in all regards Capt. Jim Lusk,
her commander, has no superior as an
efficient, courteous o:hcer, while Major
George Williams, her clerk, rAdiates sun
shine and happiness from her office in
such degree as makes all hnppy who
travel on the boat Mr.. Luce Murrell,
as pleasant and clever gentleman as
lives, ably assists Major Williams in ra-
dating cheerfulness, and ~e can recon-
mend the Eagle as with, the most
liberal patronage.
