But the reporter probably got his information f from

feeling of animosity. Indeed am inclined to believe
this to be the case from the following:

TO MOUND CITY ON
THE TYRONE.
Progress of the Gen. Anderson

1t happened, yesterday, fortuitously that
there were an unusual number Of gentlemen in
| this city connected with the railroad interests
of the W est and South. There were Col. Baker
and Messrs Rushing, Cook, Holley and Villa ms
| of the Mobile & Ohio R. R.; Mr.. Casey, Gen
eral Ticket Agent of the Mississippi Central t.
R.: Mr. Hewitt, Superintendent OF The limos
Central r. R., and Mr.. Tucker, Gen. Freight
| Agent of the Illinois Central R. R.
Messrs Halliday and Latimer, of the Mobile
and Ohio Transit Company, Immediately on the
| arrival of their boat from Columbus, the 7y-
rone organized an impromptu excursion to
| Mound City, and at one o'clock the party start
| ed from the Ohio Levee. In addition to those
| above named the following gentlemen joined
: the excursionists : Mr.. HALEY, Of Humboldt,
Tenn, Mr.. Richardson, Of Memphis, Tenn,
| Col Stephens ami Daughter, of Jackson Ten
nessee, Capt. Parker, Of the Tyrone and his
| wife, Mr.. Stafford (whose presence it was
thought would insure the safety of the party)
and Mr.. Latimer, of the Mobile and Ohio
Transit Company; Mr.. Sawyer, of the firm of
Halliday Brothers & Co.; Major Caffrey and
Mr.. Allen of the Cairo TINES.
While the Tyrone was on the way to Mound
City the party partook of a substantial and ele
giant repast on board served in manner which
| reflected great credit on all parties in any way
connected with the management of cuisine.
The truth is, that if there is boat on the river
capable of spreading better table than the
Tyrone, it has never been our fortune to take
| passage on it-but we should like to.
When the party arrived at Mound City all
hands went on board the General anderson,
which is now far advanced toward completion,
and it is confidently expected that she will take
| the place of the Tyrone by the LIST of Novem-
Der. At present there are sixty hands at work
on her. The design and arrangements of the
boat, as they are already evident, and as they
were explained by Mr.. Latimer, evoked the
warmest commentators from all, and when
she takes her place we have no doubt she will
be recognized as one of the most convenient
aud comfortable passenger packets that ever
vexed the muddy waters of the Mississippi.
The company having thoroughly inspected the
now boat started back for Cairo, where the
Tyrone landed them safely after an absence Of
but two hours. 1t was very pleasant occa-
sion and will be pleasantly remembered.

GALA NlGHT.-On Monday evening the
great drama of Six Degrees of Crime, written
by Fred s. Hill, at one time editor of tho
-Neao England Galary, the literary and critical
paper of Boston, will be represented. The
moral of this play is such as to commend it IN
the community, for it truly teaches by example
The favorable reception of the ''stock night
on Saturday evening, warrants a confidence
that this most liberal public will respond to-
morrow evening by filling the house. The
drama is full of intense interest," situations of
the highest dramatic effect, and startling Incl.
dents. The company will have an opportunity
of displaying their capacity to represents ster.
ling drama, and those who may witness it, will
most surely be amply repaid by a most interest
ing play, capitally put upon the stage.

ADLER's.-Among the many merchants in
the city who came to this city to stay, and
have made their interests identical with those
of Cairo, we may mention the Adler Brothers,
merchant tailors and clothiers. These gentle.
men are properly estimated as amongst our best
and most valued citizens, and their public
spirit and business enterprise render lem i'm.
portant weights in the balance Of our CONNER.

young America. Their clothing store is al.
ways full ofthe latest styles of garments, and
in the cutting department can always be found

Duncan, from New York, who is at all times
prepared to warrant and give -" fits" to all who
want them. Give the Adler's call and test
the truth of this notice.

GRAND BALL AND SuPPER.-To-morrow

Scheel's Hall, for the benefit of the German
