full description of this new departure in ma
rine architecture. But this much we say now
to the residents of the Coast-they may pre-.
pare themselves for something as convenient
as she is fleet, and as magnificent as she is
convenient
The popular and reliable Attakapas packet
Minnie Avery is on the way with another fine
trip, and will arrive tonight. The Avery will
return tomorrow, and will take freight and
passengers for all landings on the Atchafa-
laya, Bayous Chene and Teche, through to
S Martinsville. J. A. French master, r. E.
Hine clerk.
While the wood work of the wharves is be- |
ing repaired, and the balance of the landing
so literally shelled preparatory to the season |
just opening, would it not be we'll to pay |
little attention to the approaches to these |
wharves, particularly Customhouse street |
from Front street to the head? 1t is now, and |
has been for some time, almost impossible.

This meeting commends itself to steam
boatmen generally. for the reason that the
prospects of wise and favorable legislation in
their behalf by the next Congress are pretty
certain. We have large interests here and
practical men at the head of them, and we
think it Of sufficient importance to their in.
terests that they be represented.
