For CINcINNATI-The swift and com
modious steamer Darling will depart for
Cairo, Louisville and Cincinnati to-day

PHYS between here and the above points
that can surpass the Darling in anything
appertaining to the comfort and safety
of travellers, and those who ship freight

through as it should be, for there is no
more careful and attentive officer 10 be

Eight hundred and twenty bales of cot
ton and the steamer we're entirely de-
stroyed
The clerk Of the steamer Virginia has
not yet thrashed the river editor of the

suppose this is accounted for because
jacks always neigh at an encounter.
