We are pleased to chronicle the arrival in
our city of Capt. D. DeHayen, the president
of the Mississippi Valley Navigation Com
pany of the South and West, who laid before
the board of directors, last night, full and
most satisfac Glory report of the progress of the
company. The board adjourned to meet to-
night, at the Office of the company. We ap-
pend letter from prominent and inAuen-
tial gentleman of Evansville, Indiana, ad-
dressed to Capt. DeHaven
MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 6, 1869.
Capt d. reHsven, President n. V. N. Co.:
DEAR Sir: Having been honored with an inter.
view with yourself regards yocr ENTERPRISE
will, very respectfully, say in reply that am cry
favorably impressed with your plan of organizing
mode Of transportation so eminently advanta
geous TO the combined interest of all classes OF
with the interests of the Ohio and Mississippi
valleys; and, in my judgment, is an enter.
prise well worthy, and merits the consideration of
all capitalists. whether merchants or me chanics-
viewing your designs for the building and con-
structon OF boats as combination of WELT tried
practical Improvements, and not experimental or
imaginary. Therefore, am willing to give il my
Endorsement snd support, and would be but too
glad 10 take an active part in developing its true
merits, for feel satisfied that the success of your
enterprise depends alone upon the activity of
those who represent it. deem il unnecessary
to add more on the subject, as the plans Of boats
and your company have already been indorsed by
so many practical river men and mechanics that
further Endorsements would seem unnecessary.
Wishing you all the success desired. | am, very
respectfully yours, A. E. DRIEKwArER.

Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,

Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine, has any thing won widely and deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series of years, and among most of the races of
men has risen higher and higher in their eStima
ti0n as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
liable protector against them. While adapted to
mider forms of disease and to young children, it is
at the same time the most efectual remedy that
be given for inCipient consumption, and the dan
gerOus affections of the throat and lungs. AS pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antdote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
durable, still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
CHERRY PectoraE. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate Of them yield to it. When moth
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee
tOTaI they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro-
lection from it.
asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry PectOTGI in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known that it is I'M
