Steamboat.
To the citizens Of Smyrna and publc in
general: You will remember that last
spring Capt. Hallinger came to the town of
Smyrna and tried to impress on the minds
Of the people their need of 4 steamboat, but
all in VAIN. They said that they would
like TO have a steamboat lut they could
not take any stock in boat, but if Capt.
ilallngcr would put the steamboat on thev
wouli do all they could to help the boat
along If Capt. Hallinger would run the
boat and he told the people that lie would
run his boat and so he did; he run his boat
when he did not get two hundred dollars
freight, which he did run until his loss was
eight hundred dollars: then he commenced
to get ali OF the railroad freight, and the
people Of Smyrna were satisfied that the
steamer Fo.caa was Just wha; they wan;cd,
because Il could laaKe 50 much better time
t."N t..o expires inc couiG make and so
EIuch choaIer than the railroad that they
woa.d stand by n;m because he had run
A.~ boat to sUcii a great sacrifice. So all
won't on The Is'ca until She met with the
disaster, and the steamer sunk, and than
the Packet Company Of smyrna said to
themselves: Now lie has built up = GOOD
trade, and while lis boat is SUM; let MS
take advantage of him, and we will GET a
steamhoat Of our own," which they did
they cHHrtcrcd the s.. Ft-.5s, which is not at
all su.:ahlc for the route. They tell the
people that she Is SO light draught she
SUIT the creek. hut they do not tell tho
Icol.e that 1t takes her sixteen hours to
s,Hn the tide to Philadelphia, which it
viii amy time the tide is against her, and
viii bring her IN Phila. evcrv other week
Too late Tor the markets; and she has not
the accommodation they say she has-not
any Sleeping room ut all, without, as the
c.j ty'nC l., she rocks them to slecn, the,,
stands thcm up III the corners to sleep,'
therefore we would say TO cur friends, stand
hy apt. I!al!inger. because he has tried to
>l-t the people Of Smyrna. and also his
clerk. !. !. Roberts, is Just the man for the
business; re is always ready to do any
ching W. Isl, of him, therefore let rs
ratron.l- therl and stick by the Falcon,
which :: HoW il Wilmington getting thor
ou,a!y rcra;rcd, and Capt. Hallinger tells
u ue viii have her ready for running on
the III. % august, and She VII be hand.
S1me.y 7a.i;;ed for the accommodation Of
passengers. which 5 not Is the steamer
~. t. which has not any accommoda.
tons whatever for passenger without thev
ca. stand up 10 sleep. as did. and could
not tell whether She WAS running or stand
i:s still. and asked one Of the Gentlemen
eo board if the boa: was ruuninc and he
t1.i ,.r sue was running at her highest
speed: then told him would 80 back to
the to'''a again, as She runs 50 nicely and
has on board handsome library. an organ
aHt everything for the passengers to enjoy
themselves with, and after we get tired Of
reading and singing we have a very hand.
soma lei ing room to 90 TO. Capt Hallincer
l7u.Et another steamer, called Hn.. c.
TF.l iwt which IS now running. and
when the rd|:oa comes on ne Will run
boat daily a Rothwell's Landing, which is
iE. what We wanted, and will say TO nv
friends. let Us one and all patronize these
Iorsevering men. for Capt. Halhnecr and
+. j. Roberts have done all in their power
70 make this line q success and which
7. +. iygert y Co. have guaranteed to give
taeIn al Of their freight and most Of the
stores Of Smyrna. 50 You see that those
Parties can not run the 81. Ftli.s without
great sacrifice. and therefore we believe
their intention IS to run the Fa'c2u off her
route: then they can put their packet on
acain-schOorcr Ntttjc-thcrefore como on
friends, one and all, and stand bv the old
Inc and brake dsKn the opposition. which |
we all think is great piece Of imposition. |
