For NEW ORLEANS. famous
low pressure Richmond will be here
this evening, en- route to New Or
leans, and is indisputably the most
commodious, comfortable, safe and
elegant passenger steamer afoat, in
spring the most perfect sense Of
safety to passengers. Among her
superiorities as a passenger steamer
we may enumerate the following:
Exemption from all possibility Of ex-
plosion, as she never carries more
than 40 pounds of steam. She is
free from the annoying noise of
blowing of" or escaping steam.
Her motion is as regular and steady
as sailing vessel in calm sea, with
4 gentle breeze. Her state-rooms are
spacious parlors, luxuriously furnish
Led throughout with the s0ftest
beds. In point of speed she can
scarcely to be exceHed. Her officers
are among the most noted and excel
lent in the business. Capt. J. Slut
Neal, ever watchful and vigilant, con-
tinually coGsults the safety, comfort
and pleasure Of his passengers. John
s. Voolfolk, Bob Lodge and Tom
Moreland, all experienced clerks, are
always pleasant, affable and cheerful,
ever endeavoring to make ali aboard
feel at home aud perfectly welcome.
Anderson Lewis, The steward, stands
at the head Of his profession,
provides without stint and en-
ploys the best cooks and the
most attentive and polite waters.
The chief mate, Mr.. William
Tea, IS a perfect gentleman and a
most thorough steamboatman, with
out any of the. boisterousness that
characterizes so many steamboat
mates. Jim Ostrander. chief pilot,
and Frank Good, chief engineer, have
no superiors in their professions any
where, and possess the utmost con
fidence of the owners and COM
mander Charley Arbegust and Perry
Payne, dispensators of liquids, keep
none but the purest liquors, and will
tolerate no excess on the boat Those
who travel on the Richmond once
will prefer her to any other boat
She is regular Ohio River packet,
never deserving her trade while there
is water to run, business or no bust
ness. She brings much trade to the
various Ohio River towns aud cities,
and expends almost all her money
along the Ohio River. She, in com
mon with the other regular Ohio
River packets, should receive the
most liberal patronage Of our ship
pers, and should have preference
over boats that only come to the Ohio
when they cannot find business else
where.
