CAIRO April H.-The new towboat PORT Eads.
which was brought here by tho u. M. Norton,
was yesterday admired by many OF our people.
She bears inspection we'll, and tho good jndg-
rnent oi Capt. Good, under whose direction she
was made, and tho honesty OF the workinen who
put her together, were generally commended
The first glance from shore loads ono to think
her Of small dimensions. tho on point OF remark
being tho unusual height OF her pilot-honse
above decks. On nearer approach, however, her
great size Is noticeable. her fan tails, cylinder
timbers etc., not in place yet which gives her
a short look. Bho will DO towed TO 1T. Louis by
the next Valley boat up; will get the engines Of
the Crescent City, and be completed III three
weeks. On her frat trip South abe vii 60
through the future great city, after which she
has been named, and will, no doubt, carry thither
an excursion party composed OF the families and
friends Of the officers Of the line TO which she
belongs
