1k.e Two >t00 2 or CoerierJournal.SS Since the first day of Janonary,1iS1, te the famous Howards,of Jeffersonville, and a have had in their constant employ a taste spall army of men engaged in build- tifol i1 ing steamboats and other fodting they a craft, and to give the public an idea chitec of the amountof work they have ac- builde complished it is only necessary to ly fee state that since that time they have The built at their yards the steamers W. ers an B. Duncano, Ella, Et P. Ewald, City Hal of Vicksbnrg and L.,P. Droulllard; boats, also a landing dock for the Ferry Mat Company and two barges for the & Co Henderson Packet company. They Ma have now on the stocks and under wald way three crane boats ready for Bo launching, a twelve car railroad Orles transfer barge, a Cumberland river Boi stejer and another large, fine An- chell, ober-line boat, to be a duplicate of She the already famous steamer City of Ro Vicasburg, and to be called City of Cal Cairo, and whigi will be finished be- boats fore the first day of next January. Fu In addition to the above, they have boats jnust completed for the St. Louis and Pit New Orleans Anchor Line two of the & Li largest, lightest, best and handsomest De steamers that ever graced the waters lH. B of the majestic Mississippi. They Be are as "noear alike as two peas," and this have already won the name of "An Be chor-Line Twins," and ijt would in CB .deed be a difficult matter to even tell LE "which was which" unless you looked city. at their names upon the wheel-houses. p They have been named City of New etc., Orleans and City of Baton Rouge. city. In writing a notice of these two C1 magnificent steamers it is only neces- botl sary for as to describe the City of Lou New Orleans, as she is an exact copy F in every particnlar of the City of and Baton Rouge, and tge reader has only mer to read of the one to know all about R the other. So we will choose the City pan of New Orleans for our text, and try line and do justice to both. The City of linger New Orleans, although she does not gerT have the solidity of the very largest ens ocean steamships, occupiesmorespace be. upon the water. She is 300 feet long, 5t forty-nine.feet beam, eighty-four feet boa width over all, nine and a half feet depth of hold, and in thirty-eight feet we from the bottom of her hull to the top leal of the main saloon skylights. On top "Ci of the main saloon there is a long, are large upper cabin or "Texas," on top ed of which stands the handsome pilot ex boause, and it is sixty-seven and a half ers fleet from the bottom of the hull to the top of the pilot house. The draft are of this boat was to be forty-two inches when ready for business, but just xi think of it for a moment! She only draws forty inches. Think of that massive and majestic structure, 300 chc Lfeet long, eighty-four feet wide, sixty- da' seven and a half feet high, with steam we ap only drawing forty inches water. cal All this, taken to consideration, shows the great/ffculty that is to an be overcomel* the construction of which are required to be of the very be greatest strength and durability. ye The hull is of easy and graceftl br model and just sech a job of work- so manship as only experienced worky - men can turn out. The cabin is cer- ur tainly beqauyifpl and )in.ig design, and will be nrnished 'i e most th elegant andq costly manner. In fact it as far superior *vusotbing ave4are4 & Q geen hi the St. LouMi do& Ncw4 Or E leans trade. ·The salood of the main cabin is 210 feet long, seventeen feet W wide, and thirteen feet high, and aft of the middle gangways there are twenty-two state-rooms twelve feet equare apd ten feet Aijuae. A new departure is the furnishing of these t elegant rooms in the grande sanlo with two elegant bedsteads, instead of the old-fashioned berths. Only i the large rooms forward of the gang- ii ways will be supplied with births, a and every room on the boat-main l cabin, nursery, and "Texas"-will be supplied with every convenience for the comfort and pleasure of paeaen- I gers. There is a large and handsome a nursery under the ladies' cabin for E special accommodation of colored < ladies,and extensiveaccommodatiops in the upper cabin or Texas for the colored passengers generally. Thq 4 machinery is hard to beat. She has I man engines, twenty-six inch cylin- I ders, ten feet stroke, water wheels thirty-five feet in diameter, fifteen foot buckets. There are five steel boilers, each thirty feet long, forty four inches in diameter, with five flnes in each. She is also supplied with modern machinery and engines for hoisting freight, handling stages, working the capstans and various pumps, the steam being supplied aep arktely from the man boilers by a ,ta"ni gr" boiler, placed forward of g the b7iers and over the coal-boxes. ~¶ frightoapait s 12,300 tons. ~IisiD5 aga The genoral 1t r bo .oNov Orie tat , g iscalute lated ts and admiraition of all , ho p.e taste for all thbatihg A r 'i:P tiful in a fine, faW st eb ifIna they are indeed models f nmaine chitecture, of rhiol net only t builders, but their owners, mAY)t ly feel proud.

Both boas tg, are alike, and were built and furnish lop ed alike by the same parties, with the alfexception of the machinery and boil. to ers, and we may well say that both aft are excellent jobs of work and both eg"hard to beat."
