A miscellaneous.
None of the boats expected from Louis

Norman were noted as having departed on
Thursday evening. The Nashville arrived
on time Saturday morning with a fair trip,
and was receiving literally for her return.

from Henderson. Sam. j. Hale

could carry on The water.......... From a let
ter handed us by our enterprising friends
Ragon & Dickey, we learn that Capt. Nat
Drew and N. b. Hayward, of Golconda,
have their new boat Linton completed,
and now loading at Cincinnati for
GAINESVILLE and all intermediate Ohio and
Cumberland River landings. She was

towns where Government erected hospi-
tails. After referring to this fact, a writer
to Cincinnati paper has the following,
which has strong bearing on the subject
" We do not complain of the erection of
hospitals at the cities above mentioned |
but merely of the fact that none is erected

of one. Almost every boat which
passes those points passes Cairo also
while hundreds of other boats
