day, with 13 feet Steamboat water on
the falls. There is slight rise above
Cincinnati.........The Mary Houston
arrived at z o'clock last night with
about all the freight she wanted and
a good trip of people. She added
considerable freight here. We are
glad to see her successful, as more
perfect gentlemen than her officers
never did run steamboat........The
Courier published brief epistle from
Cairo, on Sunday morning, which
is calculated to do injustice to
the Quickstep and the other
Evansville and Cairo packets.
Freight billed through by the Evans
vile and Cairo packets has never
been detained at Cairo except, per-
haps. on one single occasion. Last
week change was made IN the st.
Louis and Memphis and st. Louis
and Vicksburg Lines, and it CHANGED
that there was no boat one day. All
the freight of the Quickstep that the
Norman could take was shipped on
that boat, and the small portion left
was sent forward the next day. We
are assured by the officers of the sew
eral Cairo packets that they do not
once In a month fail to make close
connections with boats for the South
at Cairo. The writing of the note
alluded TO was impolitie; it's
publication was worse. The
people of Evansville will stand by
the old reliable line, that has proved
of such great adyantage to this, city,
and any attempt to build up other
lines by disparaging this, viii prove a
first class failure. We. wish to see
our shippers foster and aid in build
ing up all packet lines that will add
to the business and wealth of our
city aud The convenience Of our peo-
pie, but it would be the grossest folly
to attempt to build up one line by the
destruction of another.
