Louisville papers are filed with vain

want of public spirit and enterprise
on the part of the eit1zehs of louisville,
the Peoples Line between, that city and
Cincinnati has bursted upal The zCincin-

their share, So, 900, to build two new boats

and in consequence the Cincinnati stock
holders determined to suspend operations.
The Louisville folks think it is a ruse to
get their stock at low rates. The Louis
vile papers are also down heavy on the
Saints Charles and Nicholas, New Albany
built boats, and which the Louisville
papers say were built simply to sell, and
that the Peoples Line Company were bad

a new shuttle and deal in the Cairo Packet
Company, which will, we presume, serve
to strengthen that institution. When
furnished with specifications we will lay
them before our readers. 3d.. The Great

town, will carry three hundred tons. She
