could be added to IL. Thu packet whose name
graces the head Of this nc, lie is boat Of no
binary kind; IN fact, without fear OF being so-
cused of putting" we css.ssy truthfaly that she

architecture sfoat Her c iqbin at once strikes the
beholder with wonder end admiration, and her
every appointment cOnvinfss him that her builders
in her have reached the acme of boat building
Nor is 1t alone Of the boat Of which we would
speak, but OF her officers Ne would say few
words. Capt. Vsn Hook her commander, Is
spoken OF by all who know him as a thorough
steamboatman, and her frlA clerk, Mr.. Jas. Kerr,
Jr., is q gentleman who inttantly wins the good
will of all who are thrown IA contact with him.
Many of our readers doubtless remember him as
chief clerk, yesrs ago, of tke famous City Of Men,
phis, and to those who havS not met him since, We
say that he is the cid e four and sixpence,"
looking perhaps little olefr and csreworn; bat
the latter fact can be accojned for from the fact
that he followed the fortun{s Of the late O. s. for
over four years. The Cred. Republic leaves for
st. Louis to day at JPN.
