For CAIRO.-The magnificent Armada,
the pride of the Lower Ohio, will leave at
o'clock promptly for Cairo and all inter
mediate ports. Capt. j.. V. Throop, the
veteran commander and genial gentle
man, will, we presume, be on board, ifnot,
our gay and festive friend, Captain Fred.
Huston, will do his best to fill the place.
Billy Dunn and Val. Sorenson will ilIumi-
nate the office, and Tucker will oversee the
roustabouts. Go on the Armada for COM
fort, speed, and safety. rs
