literally for Tennessee River, and would
have all she could carry.-...--.Our Tehnes-
see River boats do not ask any further In
demnity from our merchants than their
undivided patronage and the continued
favor of the people along the Tennessee
River. A large sum. 10000, was raised two
years ago for this purpose, but it has not
been required. Our merchants would not
think of backing a line OF boats with $4,000,
as has been done elsewhere. They have
their fund, however, safely invested, and
by the time Louisville gets her line into
self-sustaining condition, our merchants
will have accumulated sufficient dividends
to pay off the National debt. Louisville is
too far from the seat of war. 1858 -4w ss

Tie Mississippi Navigation Company, u
organiz ,d to Apply Capt D Hayens, plan
met here last night. The officers and many i
directors were present. The domicil ofthe
Company was changed from New Orleans
privileges granted by Illinois laws, and
also because Cairo is the most central posi-
ton of the Mississippi Valley. aSufiicient
stock is taken to authorize the building of
boat, and bids are being received. There 4
is no doubt of success entertained by the
Company. Madison, Indiana, has put in
the first bid.
