The Evansville journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ind.) 1866-1870, 1866-10-26


Business on the ievee yesterday morning
opened rather lively, Notwithstanding
there were but fGw aifieala".,s.Th he Charm
er had very handsome trip Of both freight
and pahsengers up yesterday morning, and
the Indications were favorable for a good
trip out...,s..T The Phantom had her bunting
flung to the breeze, and was recei Wing Lbs
orally ....... The Advance also was getting
! freight rapidly, aud would leave last
| evening for the Cumberland River
with ell Q she could carry. a....a.. The
great question now agttating the
mind Of the Evansville aud Cairo Packet
| Company, is the selection Of u name for
the new boat now building AZ Cincinnati
for that line. All agree that the most bean.
tifui name IL the one suggested by the Gin
cinnah Comnerefdt-that of the river edi-
tor OF the JOURNAL. But policy suggests
that some other name be selected, M the
people north Of the Ohio are still expected
TO pandor to the preiudiees OF the people
south. Hence, for several days past differ
ent nelnbers of the company have been
stadying nomenclature. a Captaind Gus
i.emclxc has been exploring T. 10 labyrlnths
Of aboriginal history, from long before the
days OF Mnssnsoit, until since the decehse
of Billy Bowlegs, and has presented an
array Of Indian patronyinies that would
astonish the savans OF the old world. Capt.
Gus busouchet has been a devoted student
of natural history, aud has read Gold
smith and nil the Encyclopedias Of hatu-
raj history contained in the libraries of
the West and has presented the names OF
nil the quadrupeds of the old
and the new world, from the
long since extinct mastodQp 10
the fiiken coated mole, and IL now con-
sidering the propriety OF turning IFS at
tantlon 20 oinithology and tile aquatic
regions. Capt. Dexter, more practical, II
less romantic, suggests personal or local
Nomenclature MS the best field whence TO
derive b name, as for instance, heGity Of
Evansville. Col. Dunkerson, moved by
the ruling passions and with a touch Of
poetry and romance uttera but single
name, Jessie Pendleton," daughter fof
Col. Geo. Pendleton, OF Cleveland, whose
bsurpassing beauty and rare accomplish
ments render her tho admiration OF all her
acquaintances. We like the latter name
the best, and sngges. that IL VIII not only
be Indicative OF good taste and gallantry
on part Of the Company to adopt IL, but
that itwill materially add 10 the pecunia-
ry advantage of the packet line. A. change
IN tne nufuS IN TOUR OF uVe years may nc-
come necessary, but that wouldn't cost the
Company anything, punkerson Will pay
for that. f F, 4 s.,e.sf... 4
