CINCINNATI.-The Commercial Of
Friday says:
The Silver Moon was the center of
attraction at the wharf yesterday, on
account OF the large amount Of cot
ton she brought here from Memphis |

the boat a canvas upon which was a /
comical painting, representing a large /
stack OF cotton upon sled, with that /
identical mule trying to haul it, as
sisted by a stout son of ETHIOPIA at 1
the rear, showing the sled with a /
crowbar. Several notices, &c, were /
annexed, but we do not remember
what they were. It was a capital take
of, and deserves no little credit to
the deviser. We suppose Capt. w. I
Walker, of the Sam. j Hale, will,
upon the return of the Hale, turn
over the horns with all his grace and
dignity to Capt Ben NJ Mirrielees
