Cant. J. y. Adams, Superintendent OF
the Memphis and Arkansas River Packet
| Line, yesterday purchased the steamer
| Cleaner Of Maj. Mart Walt, and will
place her 10 the trade as a regular q. S.
! mail packet. The line is now thoroughly
organized. We will have two regular
PACKETS each week from here to Little
Rock. The folio wing boats mske Up the
line and all stand A Nc. l with the IL
surance companies as welt as with the
travelling public: Celeste, Pritchard
Csntrais, Rowland Ozark, DuMsy
Cleaner, BIaisdeli; Florence Traber,
Haines. Two Of the above boats will
leave Memphis each week, and Oftener II
business will Justify. They will connect
with the following boats belonging to
the same Company, which leave Little
Rock regularly for all points on the
Upper Arkansas: Van Buren,, Smith
American, Rowland; Fort Smith, Bow
land. TIE latter boats were built ex-
pressly for the trade and are now running
to Dardenelle, to which point there is but
thirteen inches water. A5sOOn as water
will permit they will extend their trips
to Fort Smith and Fort Gibson, thus
giving Memphis control Of the Arkansas
river trade from the mouth to the source.
Our people are and should be much in-
dented to Capt. John ID. Adams for this
arrangement, and we hope That the ex-
uensa which he has incurred may be lii
orally rewarded and that he may win
that success which he = eminenJly de-
serves. Capt. Jas. T. Bourne q Go. are
agents FOR the line in this city.
