Marshal, on a charge preferred by

LoUIsYILLE.-The Courier-Jouraai
Of Friday says:
The most popular, and BY far the
most profitable to the interests OF
Louisville is the packet line along the
Lower Ohio hence 60 all points as far
This line, under the management Of
Captain II. H. Voolfolk, the Super
intendent, and Capt. a. q. Gilmore,
who attends TO the running arrange
ments and repairs, has been the most
regular and popular that piled to this
port. The boats are punctual m the
day aud hour Of departure, and espec-
lal attention IL paid to all way business,
and passengers taken 10 or from any
point along the route, and by their
good accommodations, careful, cour-
teous and prudent officers have won
golden opinions at all points in the
trade, and their arrival is looked for
at the time due as certainly and regu-
larly as a railroad train. Now that
the Winter season has fairly set I'M,
with q good stage OF water, the larger
boats (the famous Morning Star aud
Haraseon) have been placed perma-
nently in the line. These boats have
no superiors in speed, comfort and
equipment on the river, and all travel
on them with pleasure.
The Morning Star, the faHt hier, has
been in the hands Of the builders and
furnishers for the past forty days, aud
now takes the track in better order
and trim than on the day ste was FIRST
built. She has new guards and wheel
houses, the guards being wider than
before, and her paddles are longer,
which, il is calculated, will impart
more speed, though she is conceded
to be the feetest Of the feet. She has
also been wholly retitted with new
bedding and upholstery, as we'll as
new carpets, and the best coat or full
suit of paint that ever decorated a
steamer in this section OF country.
The style and lettering on the
side houses are wonderful specimens
of the art, the whole work by W. U.
Williams, the artist painter. The
upholstry, &C., was by Henry Wehm-
hoeff, and the carpets by w. Ill. Nc
Knight, the whole under the super
vision of Captain Gilmore, who goes
out commander Of the boat, with Dick
Hutchinson in the clerks Office.
The Des Arc arrived al Memphis
from White River with 500 bales of
cotton and 100 deer. She was liter
ally covered with wild game having
deer strung from her pilOt-h0u6e 70
the deck. She had also over one
hundred cabin passengers.
The officers of the Silver Spray re-
port that the Armada took 200 bar
reIs Of potatoes to Cairo for reship-
ment South, which all the boats re-
fused to take at the prices offered, and
Ghey were still ia the wharf boat when
the Spray passed.
The report we have good authority
for saying is wholly incorrect. All
reshipping freight by the Evansville
and Cairo packets goes forward
promptly. and there has been no de-
ten:ion of any such case, except ia
one instance where il was voluntarily
held over for the benefit of the ship
per, aud at bis own instance. This
effort Of Cincinnati and New Or
leans packet to iniure the Cairo
packets will not succeed. A geRer-
Gus rivalry for business wouls seorn-
TO resort to such an expedient

She is due here to-day.
The Empire left here with $50 bales
