Captain Milf. Akin, Of the steamer Lee
Claire No. 2, brought TO this city on board
his boat, the last trip, six or seven mer-
chants from Tennessee River, all OF whom
bought goods here. These men have been

were prevailed upon by Captain Akin to
try our trade. This quite COuclusively
shows that the merchants Of this city
should sustain tue Tennessee River
packets.
Louisville boats that persuade merchants
who have been In the habit OF trading in
Evansville TO 60 to Louisville to purchase
goods ought to be kindly rem embered by
our merchants and shippers. The Courier
