The steamer Southerner was sold yes
terday by the U. S. marshal. She was
bought by Capt. Geo. NJ. Gill for the
sum of $1,000. 1t is said that Capt. Dick
Mason aud the former owners of the boat
are, however, the real purchasers. She
is old, and will we fear, not make money
in any trade, but the price paid for her
can be more than realized by wrecking
her and selling the machinery, which is
in good repair.

For NEW ORLEANs.-The truly mag
nifcent low pressure steamer Richmond,
will be in port early this morning on her
way to New Orleans and all intermedi-
ate points. Sic is the wonder Of all who
behold her. Praises on paper, of such a
grand structure as this splendid steamer,
are but weak in expressing the imposing
grandeur that she presents. If the
B1aestri Of architecture, who lived several
centuries ago, and whose sublime ideal
marked cut that seventh wonder Of the
world, st. Peters, at Rome, only lived
now, they could truly say, the hand of
magic has touched the enchanter's wand,
and the production is this incarnation Of
all that is beautiful in architecture, THAT
walks the waters like a thing of life the
Richmond. She is not only beautiful to
the eye, but she is swift with safety,
comfortable without being gaudy, neat
without show, combining all those mod
err improvements, which lavished upon
her regardless Of expense, make her truly
a floating palace, and at the same time a
luxurious and desirable home to travel
on. In fact, travelling on such q steamer
has been reduced to that system of going
from one home to another, as to render
the trip one Of the happy moments Of
life. The Richmond is not only magnif-
icent herself, but is commanded by some
Of the noblest s-teambOatmen on the
western rivers. She is in charge of that
gallant commander, Capt. Slut. Neal, |
who is known as having had charge Of
as many splendid steamers as any other
man who has ever directed a packet.
He is an able commander, one who thor
oUghly understands his business and who
allows nothing TO be out of place. Hav-
ing large experience and being a popular
gentleman, n who makes friends
wherever he goes, he is eminently fitted
for the position he occupies. Capt. S.
Voolfolk, well known as the late popular
commander Of the splendid steamer
Grey Eagle, is the chief clerk, and a
better selection could not have been
made. He is well known as a whole
souled, genial gentleman, admired by all
who come in contact with him, for his
many good qualities, and one who will
be sure to entertain and make all who
travel on the Richmond comfortable and
at home. Capt. Voolfolk is assisted by
r. P. Lodge, formerly of the Indiana,
who viii be found a clever and accom-
mOdating gentlemen. HerstewaTd, Mr..
Anderson Lewis, has no superior in his
profession, and we venture to say that
the tables of the Richmond, for elegance,
and everything requisite to make
guests happy as only those can be, who
live well, are beyond conception. Larry
& Co. are agents and Capt.
Shock is passenger agent.
The Messenger, Capt. Dean, passed up
last night with a good passenger trip, and
800 tons Of freight. We were I'M
intentionally led to do Capt. Dean an in
some time ago, which we take
in correcting, and only waited
thus long that we might do it while he
in port. We are assured that Capt. 4,
Dean was not in command Of the Mes
in 1861, and our reference to the {
dag was therefore an error. Our inform ,
ant was incorrect about the language
lsed when speaking of the losses in 1
at this port, and no reflection 7
was made upon our merchants. :
are always ready to correct any '
hing which may have been misrepre- a
ented to us, and do so now with pleas .
Ire, as we believe Capt. Dean to be too a
rood al officer to be other than a gen n
ieman. a
