/ The Nashville and Cairo Packet Com
| pany has been mutually dissolved. Here
! after these packets will run Independently,

ished. We know Harmon her Captain,

true in many of its particulars.
The New York correspondent Of the Sy-
racuss Journal takes up the cudgel in its
defence as being true story, and speaks
thusly: The paddle-wheels of Misslssip-
pi boats work Independently, Jim Bludso,
who remained at his post, was able, by
skillfQl management to supply their place,

regular.
