1.-THE Lucia, from Fort Benton, ar
rived here yesterday morning light, having.
only in addition to her crew, half breed
Indian dog and alarge bald eagle. The dog
is a cross between the prairie wolf and
.common dog, and combines the charac-1
-teristics of both. The eagle was caught
when unhedged, and has grown with won-l
derful rapfdity, and is already q great
bird, though but "Spring eaelet,"-
Its nest was discovered by a fish
line which = 0the z parent q bird:
had doubtless stolen wftfa FISH attached
and carried to her nest. The line was 70 or
30 yards long and contained nearly twenty
pounds OF lead as sinkers, and any number
of fsh hooks. Our Jolly friend, Captain
Dan. Brady, is in command, and George b.
Hazlett is in the Office. The Luella is

among the merchants ofthis city for sigma
ture, requesting the owners OF the regular
Cairo packets-side- wheelers-to extend
their trips to Columbus, Kentucky, so that
one of their boats may be at that port ev-
cry evening upon arrival of the train on
the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. 80. 1t Is sug-
gested that two boats be put in to run
through to Memphis, leaving here on
Tuesday and Friday. while two make
semi-weekly trips to Columbus. The trade
Of Evansville would in little while be
almost doubled by such an arrangement,
and we hope the owners of the Quickstep p,
Mayfower and Armada will accede to the
prayer of the petitioners, and that a
fourth boat to complete the line will be
secured, and all arrangements completed
by the time navigation is resumed,,-.....
We had the pleasure yesterday of q call
from Capt. Frank Banksmith, formerly
clerk in the Louisville and Henderson
mail line, now of Memphis, and acknowl-
edged to be the best steamboat clerk in the
business. He succeeds Cox & Humphrey
