......".,..We have a letter from an at
tache of the Mary Miller, dated Vicks-
burg, 9th, which says: 1.-THE Mary
Miller is a perfect success as respects
her carrying capacity, speed and
handling qualities, and If she has a
fault as a first-elass boat, no good
judge of steamboats, has yet been able
to discover it, thus far. She made
over 8 miles an hour against the cur
rent of the Mississippi river, and a
strong head wind from New Orleans
to Vicksburg, where she arrived at
dark last Thursday evening. She
makes an abundance ofsteam with any
kind Of fuel and is light on coal and
wood. We will arrive at Evansville,
Tuesday night or Wednesday morn
ing, and will load there for New Or
leans, as she will carry 700 tons easily.
She has a fair passenger trip, but is
nearly light" The Mary Miller is en-
phatically an Evansville steamboat,
and should be literally patronized by
our merchants. shippers and specula-
tors""-""..The Virginia and p. w,
Strader arrived at 1:30. The Vir-
ginia was nearly light. The Strader
was we'll loaded, and added consider
ably here."......There were strong in.
