VIM White, Captain A. Drinkwater,
with Kit. Rudd in the Office, goes to
GAINESVILLE and all Cumberland River
way landings at o'clock this even
ing. She is good boat with excel
lent and accommodating officers, and
should receive liberal patronge from
our people.
For MEMPHIs.-The new and mag
nifcent steamer Mayfower will leave
at FIVE o'clock this evening for Mem
phis and all way ports. She is the
regular Evansville and Memphis
packet, and should receive the undi-
vided support and patronage of our
people The Mayfower is entirely
new, and one of the most comforta ably
and elegantly appointed boats that
comes to the wharf. Her officers are
our own citizens. Capt. J. V. Throop,
Billy Dunn, Duke Nicholson and
George Throop constitute the
quartette, and a cleverer and more de-
serving corps of gentlemen were never
associated together on a steamboat.
The Mayfower is proverbial for the
sumptuous manner in which she
provides for her passengers. We
hope to see her go out with all she
can carry.

Business on the landing was mod
eratively active. A number of boats
were receiving for the lower ports.
Freights, however, were not very
plenty. The j. N Mccullough has
resumed her place in the Parkers-
burg trade. She left yesterday with
good trip.

Our special New Orleans CORES
pondent, who IS reliable, writes us. on
the 18th inst, that the Great Repub-
lie leaves for Louisville and Cinoin-
natl with over seventeen hundred |
hogsheads of sugar, together with |
molasses and other freight She has
truly made lucky hit this time Be-
ing the only boat 10 port, she had the
advantage of an open field She is |
getting 40 cents a hundred to Cairo"
1t appears from the above, that the
from Louisville. announc-
ing that the Great Republic took su-
gar atS1 % to 81 80 per hogshead, is |
erroneous. Forty cents is little |
enough for freight, to say nothing of |
tn low rate Of ten cents per hundred. |
Captain James Good, a gentleman
admirably qualified for the position,
has been appointed General Freight |
Agent for the Diamond Line,'' a |
