having built and commanded the first steamboat
that bore the name Diana, which was in about

mouth of Scioto-Bush Oreek-and her engine
was built at Wheeling Virginia, by Mr.. A. M.
Phillips, whose only instructions were to build an
engine sufficiently powerful to drive the boat
with great speed. Capt. Mcdowell sold the Diana
TO Capt. Swager Of Louisville, and the name has
been perpetuated at that port by placing it on the
ested in steamboats, during the many years of
active business life as forwarding and commits |
sion merchant, he enjoyed the pleasing recollec-
ton of having taken on board one OF his boats |
MS esteem, and whom he promoted to more lu- |
,rative position than cabin-boy, the result of |
which was the start that made the lad one of the |

Courier. Journal, 24tn:
"The new towboat Joe B. Williams, has left |
With % boats and 7 barges OF coal, amounting in |
weight to q, 900 tons. This would be load for
900 railroad cars. Estimating 25 cars to the
rain, it would require 80 locomotives to move it.
md each train being 800 feet in length, it would
xtend a distance on the railroad track of more
han Is miles. This immense freight is carried |
" the Williams at an expense of two cents per
,ushel, which would amount to little freight
ill of Sill 800. To transport it by rail 800 miles
o New Orleans, at the lowest price OF railroad
reight-say one cent per mie-the freight bill
you'd be something more than $4,000. II the
Villains reaches New Orleans in safety with her
ow, we think she ought to be entitled to be auti-
al pair OF horns, as having towed the largest
eet of barges Of coal that ever went down the
ohio or Mississippi rivers"
