Over 200 tons of general cargo were discharged locally, and at midnight, the steamer departed for it's regular westward run. It is announced that the Watson will return to Seward next Tuesday and await in port until the arrival of the passenger train from the Interior, We'd nesday evening, at which time she will depart for the South.
