assured by Jenkins, who was an init
mate friend of Gen. Grant, that in ths
officers ~jOurneyings up and down thu

Every boat both up and down is loaded
to its utmost capacity. The steamers Of
! the line are all fast, and combine every
comfort that may be desired. The sue
cess Of the line is entirely due to the
merits Of the boats and officers. The
latter are of the old style of river men,
and are both liberal and just with sll.

steamers afiOat, belongs to this line, and

! officer in the st. Louis and Memphis
packet company a few years ago. Alex.

and competent officer. He IL assisted by
Mr.. VIM. Hedges, One of Forests bold

home yesterday from an extended toul
/ east. His visit to Washington was moi
futile, as we learn that he secured the
