The appropriately named Quickstep cap
tain Dexter, with captain Jack Grammar do
ing the honors of the clerks Office by the
assistance of Walter Pennington, is the regu-
lar mail and passenger packet for Granville
and all way points on the Ohio this evening.
We can safely recommend her to the trav-
cling public.
The neat and comfortable steamer Talisman,
10 Ia ia a.,ttla lar
land river packet this evening, and will leave
promptly for Nashville and all way points.
She is differed throughout with veteran steam
boatmen, whom We have known intimately
for many years. We have never tested the
liquor kept at the bar by liking Cotton" but
are informed that it is excellent.
The Mary Z. Forsythe, captain Dave Ha-
ney, clerk VIM. White, is the packet for
Memphis and Vicksburg this evening.
The Thompson Dean, the great mastodon of
steamers, is due for New Orleans thi. even.
ing.
The Pauline Carroll, captain WIN. Thomp-
son, Is also due for the same port tonight
The Carroll is splendid passenger steamer
lives high, and is -.ell differed.
Capt. Ben. +. Egan, having sold his inter-
est in the Talisman, has purchased captain
Bob Morris one-fouth interest in the light |
drsught steamer A. Baker, at the rate of |
$500 for the whole boat, and she will be run |
from Nashville TO the head waters Of tho Cum |
berland river, or rather 10 the forks of that |
river, during high water, and in the summer |
time will probably resume her trips from
Nashville to Cairo. This purchase again |
uni,es two old steamboatmen-captain Newt. |
Corbe,t and captain Ben. r. Egsn--who have |
not been connected in steam boating since the I
days Of the old Sallie West, Of which Corbett |
was captain and Egan clerk. They hold the
same position on the Baker. Long life and
success attend them, for they are as true gen.
tlemen rs ever graced n steamboat
The Comet is putting up new pair Of
chimneys built for her at thi. city. She will |
probably be ready to leave for Grand Tower
tonight, and will take tow Of coal from
thence to New Orleans.
We are sorry that capt. Owen Davis new
Cumberland river boat, John Lumsden, pick
cd up snag or floating tree when on her
A'st trip from Nashville TO Cincinnati, by |
which largo portion Of her forward guards
and cabin were torn of, and both chimneys |
lost overheard. The accident occurred few |
miles above Cniontowh. Temporary repairs |
were made however, and the boat proceeded. |
