F0ReNEw ORLEANs-To-mo morrow the
magnificent steamer Gen Quitman will
leave for Vicksburg, Eatchez and New
Orleans at noon She has few equals on
the river in any department and a trav-
eler who once rides upon her, sleeps on
her dOwDy eouches, eats at her well
laden board, provided for by Mr.. Frank
Smith, who knows his "biz,u will re-
member his trip forever after. Capt. J..
NJ. White commands and in the Office
Mr.. Howard will be found, as usual. Mr..
M~Ossop,sthe outdoor clerk, is a very ac-
curste officer. Capt. Sam. Shock will
pay especial attention to passengers and
see that they are properly located. Jas.
T.. Bourne q Co., Levy & Miller and w.
Jay Johnson, agents.
Mr.. J II. R2ughner, the revenue Off
Ger at this port has, within the pass few
days, -eanHscated several barrels Of
whiskeyand apple brandy which had
not paid the manufacturers tax. The
Graham 6roaght down four barrels aud
the Mary Swan twenty barrels. The
latter was good old Bourbon, from near
Clarksviile. Mr.. B. is a shrewd officer
and there is but little cred eye" comes
to this port that he don't walk around.
The Louisville Democrat, after giving
a list of the various pocket lines running
from that port, says: We have a num-
Der of other boats running to this port as
packets, hut they do not claim to be reg
ulaF. It seems but a few years ago when
this city claimed the honor of owning
more New Orleans boats than any other.
Strange to say, she does not own a single
boat. The Laurel Hill is the only New
Orleans boat o~TneaRrOund the fails, and
she belongs in New Albany. We be-
lieve the Richmond is q Louisville boat
we mean owned in this city. The tow
beat business, together with railroads,
3d. Is inventions, foolish laws, and In
suTSsnce companies, it seems, has cast a
daBSapeT upon the steamboat interests in
this locality. We are sorry to note this
fact, but 1t is nevertheless true.
Capt. Charley Irwin has, it Is said,
chartered q beat for the trade between
this city and Evansville.
The journal says: We understand
that the owner of the mules that We're
drowned by the sinking Of the Mercury
has entered suit against the owners OF
the boat to recover the value Of his stock.
We do not think that he will gain much
in that operation, as the law does .
hold the owners of the boat responsible
for freight lost by unavoidable accident.
II, by any accident, it should, boatmen
had better quit the business and tie up
their crafts.
Our friend Capt. Powers, Of the Oar
ling, reports the water falling fast In the
Ohio river, and that many persons who
were driven from their homes by the
flood are again returning to their de-
serted fresides. Much damage was done
al along the river, but in a few weeks
all traces OF the high water will be gone.
For LOUISVILLE AT 5 p m. this day
Capt. Abner Baird viii back out his good
packet J. d. Perry for Cairo and Louis
vile. She was inspected at Louisville,
and Pink Varble says of her n have
made a thorough examination of the
steamer John d. Perry, and find her to
be in good condition and seaworthy. /

all o. X. 1 think she is all right
PINK VARBLE.
Capt. Billy Wood, a correct officer and
old Memphian, attends 10 the duties of
the office, and our gallant friend Capt.
John Mills watches the night hawk.
Jas. r. Bourne & Co. and Larry Harm
stad & Co, agents,
The year 1887 viii ever be remembered
as the great one In steamboat circles.
In no other year has there been so much
excitement concerning i1e packets, and
we question whether there will ever be
a steamer which is looked for with as
much anxiety as the Richmond. This
great packet, which viii leave Louisville
tomorrow on her way south, is said TO
ECLIPSE in grandeur, speed, model, fur
niture, and in fact anything which goes
to make up such o boat, all others that
ever pioughed the waters of the great
river. No one who has not seen her can
form an estimate Of the splendOr of her
appearance and the wealth of her ap-
pointments. Built by r@aster Of the
art of architecture, and By 2 gentleman
who has had long experience On the
riFer-who knew Just what was needed,
and who spared 10 pains nor expense TO
turn out his ideal OF 3 perfect packet,
| the Richmond viii doubtless surpass all
the expectations we have formed Of her,
and her advent amongst Us will he a
source Of mucn pleasure to the eye and q
"l0y forever"
Capt. desc Hurd has bought an Inter-
est in the Monsoon, and will command
her. She runs from New Orleans 70
