Aadfspateh from Cairo to the Cincinnati Com
msrsial says the ST. Patrick the iirst boat to
leave Cairo for Memphis with the news Of the
capture Of lees army. We suppose Capt. Geo.
o., Harl, did not ieel proud Of the honor. We
viii wager he felt ten feet high and wide in pro-
portion, u 10 atting that the Saint should arst
bear the news OF tbs capture OF the sinner Lee,
spd Il Is itttug that she is one Of the Southwest
ern oonneetisns of the great Cotton Express.
