The John B. Maude, the elegant
steamer bearing the name at the head
of this paragraph, hOnored our landing
by putting in an appearance about dark
last night, and was at once besieged by
steambOatmen and the friends of the
officers, all anxious to obtain view of
the interior of the craft that is to beat
the time of the Lee or NatcheZ, and
carry all the cotton grown upon the
banks of the river below Chicot City.
We viii not attempt to describe the
beauties of the Maude, but will say that
she has the neatest and most tastily ar
ranged and furnished cabin we have
seen in many day. There are no gew-
gaws nor "ginger-bread'' about it, but
everything is handsome. The floor is
carpeted with heavy Brussels, and of a
beautiful pattern. The furniture is of
the latest style and elegant. The Office
is a perfect bijOU, and the bridal cham
bers, four in number, are very large sndi
furnished equisitely in rosewood, with I
stationary bureau washstands, whole
tanned with rich lace; then the
nursery is arranged more than COM
fortably, and is fitted up in style; while
the freedmen's bureau and texas are
supplied with expensive furniture and
carpets that will make for the boat q
thousandsfriends among the darkies at
every landing. Captain John +. Noel,
the commander Of this boat, has super
intended the entire construction and
titting-up of the boat, and much credit
is due him for the skill and taste DIS
played. He has built q money-making
craft, and is going TO make money with
her. She draws but thiTty-eight inches
light, and came here with five hundred
and fifty tons Of freight, drawing but
five feet four inches of water. She is two
hundred and forty feet long, thirty-six
feet beam, and has capacity for four or
five thousand bales Of cotton. Her "of-
hcial' list ranks as follows: Master,
John T. Noel; clerks, J. Swivel and L.
Noel; engineers, William Hamilton
and Charles Lowell; pilots, Dan Bu-
cas- and William Ford; mate, James
Sweet; steward, John Hopkins, and
the dispenser Of liquid comforts, Frank
Shafner. Although Captain Noel had
heavy freight engagements below, he
was prevailed upon to remain here over
night, and to show his :, recitation of
the kind feeling and hearty good wishes
extended him, entertained a score or
two Of his friends last night in a way
that will not soon be forgotten by them.
A long life to the Msude and her Off
GERS say We, and may she never leave
port empty.
