io Business was very dull on the levee
during the forenoon yesterday, with
no arrivals outside the Henderson
-packets"....s..The Rapidan No.. was
receiving liberally, and would go out
full. This is her last trip in place of
the Armada, aud we part with Capt.
! HOMELAND his bonnie boat with re-
greet, as more pleasant, unassuming
gentleman has not visited this port
for a long time.... a...The Armada will
arrive here Friday evening, in time to
allow her officers, crew. and passen-
gers to visit the new Opera House
Friday night; and on Saturday she
will resume her place in the packet
line. Her appearance here in her |
new dress will doubtless create /
sensation in river circles. The |
MiDyoung went up on Monday to
coax the Excelsior down; and if
Capt. Mitchell does not succeed, the
effort to get her to Cumberland River
may be considered lost cause not
worth reviving.
