The New Albany Bulletin copying an article on the subject of penknives, says': ""The House of Representatives was a Loeofoco body, and its cWk is a Loeofocc officer. We should like to know to whom belongs the guilt of authorizing such a ridiculous and infamous expenditure." Two years ago there was a whig clerk and under the direction of a whig Congress, just such a contract for penknives was made. When wo went to Washington they were all there, furnished under the direction of a whig Congress, by a whig clerk as aforesaid, as the lawyer would say. Now this is a sm-i!l business, and attracts the minds of small men, of the Penny-wise and Pound-foolish stamp. 7"V"e have read with great interest the unanimous opinion of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts on the constitutionality of the fugitive slave law. It is a verv able and satisfactory document, and coming from the great centre of abolitionism, and from Judges of eminent ; . , .. . , ' . learning and unspotted integrity, we hope it will have a j great influence on certain clergymen who have pronounc- t ed the law unconstitutional, and will teach the people that whilst they may look to the ministry for their high er duties as-hristians, the judicial tribunal must determine what are their obligations under the Constitution as members of a civil government. Whitr Platform. The Albany Evening Journal, (Whig,) says: Secretary Graham, unab'e to remain at Buffalo to make another Speech, left a Letter and the following sentiment, which will serve as a political Chart for ail who intend to support the Uuiou on the Administration plan; " A faith ful obscrrar.ee of theterms of adjustment of sectional dijtculties, adjpted by the tail Congress Without this, no party can obtain, or ought to expect, the approbv.ion of the p.xple of this country." This is much stronger than our declaration, for which we have been denounced hv the Whis. from one end of 0,. , .1 .v tne State to the other. CvThfl JVane Co. Whig c mes up nobly to the defence of the State Sentinel. It publishes lonir articles fron, that paper, which give great aid and comfort to whiggery here. When articles from a paper that assumes to be a democratic organ arc copied into whig papers and applauded, for the purpose of aiding their cau.-c. it looks to democrats as though there was something rotten somewhere. Jejfersonian. When articles from a paper that assumes to be a democratic organ are copied into abolition papers, and editors are endorsing thi course of an abolition member of Congress for the purpose of aiding their cause, it looks to Democrats as though there was something rotten somewhere. C7 Tin Wiiigs of Marion county nominated the following ticket on Saturday: For Representatives, A. A. Hammond and D. R. Smith; County C mmissinner. David S. Beaty ; Assessor, L. Vallandixghaji; Coroner, Andrew Smith. The Convention recommended Thomas D. Walpole for Congress. Wonder if one of the defeated aspirants for Coroner lost his nomination on the score of his Democracy Guess nut, Doctor. Important Railroad Decision. We learn that the late Fayette Circuit Court, Illinois, recently decided that the charter of the Mississippi and Atl.int.e Railroad Company gives ample powers to enable the Cunp my to construct tho road from St. Louis direct to Terrc Hinte. This decision will infuse new life into the enterprise, and we may look for its speedy commencement in good earnest. Near Hampshire. The Whig and Free Soil victory to tfie good old Granite .'State, has turned out to bo no victory at all. Dinsmoor, a true Union and Compromise Democrat, is elected Governor. There are yet some bright spots in New England. IJ"Sciil vler CoLTax, the Whig candidate for Congross in the Ninth District, has retired from the position of editor of the St. Joseph Valley Register, until the canvass is over. Io the mean time James Davis is to be the editor. CTThe fare through from this city to Anderson, on the opening of the road to that place on Thursday, the , KHb inst., has been fixed at 20 cents, and the same from - , ... ., i l i. Anderson to tins city. A his is c-jrtainlv cheap enough, J and we anticipate that a very large crowd will take ad vantage of this low fare to have a ride on the cars. ITThe Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company are contracting for tbe conveyance of freight at the rate of aM ami one-third cents per ton per mile, and tbe State Engineer of New York has declared that railroad can aarry freight for eight mills per ton per mile. 17 The Pennsylvania Democratic Convention met at Reading on the 6th inst., and nominated William BigUS for Governor, and - Cloteb for Canal Commissioner. r7JAi MoaoAX, Senator from Decatnr county, has resigned, and the Governor has fixed the first Monday of August as the day for a new election. ZD" Three millionsof gold dust reached New York on tbe 3d instant, from California, by tbe steamers North America and Empire City.

tireat Flood in the Mississippi River. St. Liuis Jutes to the 5th instant, informs us that the Mississippi liver is now higher than the memorable rise of 184 I. At St. Louis the water had overflowed the up

per part of the levee, end had reached the curb-stonea j and the cellars ef the warehouses on the levee wer full ' of water. The whole of the great American Bottom is overflowed from the river to the Bluffs, and the mail has transported by laud. The St. Louis Union of the 4th says : The fine steamer Bon Accord, in yesterday from Galena, reports the upper Mississippi tobe still swelling, a n.l I... MHiMl in. li.i .t r..11.tn roi.otitlv in tli ,11 fril!n St. Petei's down. Everv stream is running ' out full, and the destruction of property situatr d on low lands is immense. The towns of Savanna. Albany, Davenport, Rck Island. Koithsbutg, and Oouawke, are either partially or entirely under wnt t. Tho business community of all these places are sorely inconvenienced by the Hood, which is much higner than that of 1844. Below the lower rapids the important points are no leal unfortunate. The wi ter is running all over Churchville, TuHy, Canton, and Marion city, and it is nearly into the warehouses on the levee at Hannibal The Illinois and Missouii are likewise very much swollen, and still on the increase. Georgia and Mississippi. The Washington co-respondent of the Journal of Commerce says: I have reeeat and reliable intelligence from Georgia and Mississippi, in regard to the political movements ' there. Mr. Howell Cobb will undoubted'y be triumphi antly chosen Governor by the Constitutional Union party. It will be truly triumphant for the friends of the Compromise measures; for Mr. Cobb has always been considered as one of tlie m .s influential of those who arrayed themselves in favor uL tlnve measures. It is much to be d-mbied whether theS' w. nld-evci have passed the Honse, it Sjteakar Cobb lai but wawuly and strongly favored i hem. .-' The contest in Mississippi, between Gen. Foote and Gen.

South Carol in Secession. Mr. AcMisTEAn BrrtT, the leading member of the South Carolina delegation in Congress, has writ n a Ictterin which he counsels Igainst separate State secession He savs that "at this time the secession of South Caro lina, would neither be followed or justified by any other ! State; lhat the secestoi S utii Carolina at the present ! time, the other Southern States remaining iu the Union, '. would only aggravate the evils of which we complain, and wonld be inexpedient and unwise." He c oses by I remarking: - . . I c.'inp.'t lay down my pea witt.ont this admonition to my lelloW-cituen.

Chicau .irut. jt What they intend to do. We clip the following from the Coryd.ui Argus: Col. Willis A. Gorman has been nominated for "Congress by the Democracy, or a portion of it, in the Sixth District. Cols. Haddon and Carr, both Demicrats. are also candid.. t s, indi pendent of all nominations. There will le an interesting contest between these gallant champions of the Progressiva Democracy, unless sonic Wicked Whig should find it in his heart tointerlerc in the affair. Eli P. Farmer. Whig, has been spoh -n of as candid rte; whether he will be or not is not yet certainly known, but there will bo a candidate time enough to beat all these military gentlemen. The Pacific Kail road. A private letter from a friend in London informs ns that -Mr. Asa Whitney's scheme for a Rjilrosid to the Pacific, across tho northern part of tiiis Continent, is attracting there tho attention we bad expected from its own grandeur and feasibility, ar.d the singular clearness, enthusiasm end tact "f its adv-.e.ife. I; luis he. n submitted to Lord John Russell, Lord Stanley, Lord Mnteagle and other eminent men, who h ive listened with the greatest intere-t to Mr. Whitney's explanations, and have expressed their satisfaction ut their novelty and practicality. At the same tune he has had interviews with heavy capitalists who bass pioffered him all the means necessary for the prompt execution of the work, to be fjruished him as soon um the lands are granted for the purpose. These gentb i.i.-n only wait Mr. Whitney's acceptance of t'.cir prop.. sals to employ their influence which is l.trr, nd will prove eil'u a. i.uis with the Government and the Hudson's Bay Company in order to secure the grant, which will be made substantially on the same t -rms as were contained in the bill lately before Congress. A'. Y. tribn A La Ctovr:?.. The lady of one of our inr.-t respectable merchants, Mrs. J. L. Michner, has adopted the new style of dress short frock and trowsers and on Saturday last, having r-easion to call upon a relation, appeared, unattended, in I -streets, and traversed the city, arrayed in this novel attire. Sho met with no aunoyanee, except being stared at by persons on the street, which was no more than she expected. The ladv has 1 no desire for display, but she regards the change in dress j as most desirable in every respect, and will hereafter wear the new style whenever she has occasion to make calls or go shopping. Mrs. M. deserves great praise for her I courage in thns acting as pioneer in this movement. We ! expect to see these costumes plenty enough on our streets before many weeks. Cincinnati nonpareil, 3d. 1 ,. , I Foprth District. Julian, the Abolitionist, has , ..l . , r r, ' -rl leen re-nominateil in the 4tn district lor Congress. Ihe State Sentinel warns the Democrats if they support Mr. Julian they must, as a matter of course, sustain his Free Soil views, which they cannot consistently do and support the nominee of the National Democratic Convention. In this the Sentinel is right. It is no wish of the true Democrat to witness the amalgamation of Democracy nnd Abolitionism. Their relative principles and aim diff-r too widely to make this a durable object. The one labors to sustain tbe Union, while the tendency ol the other is to destroy.

TI ESDAY MOUSING, JUNE 10, 1831.

7" We commenee the publication to-day of the Sur . t it-. i j ai. . : of John Cobcrn Esq., as reporter, who is fully compe. " I MA,I tent to mado theso reports complete and interesting, not onlj to the lawyer but the general reader. The The Vineemies Sun way after it works. denouncing the Convention at Dloomfield, and talking about dictation and corrnp-. .ion and ill-treatment, gee , says: . . ' .. "lots. Carr ami tiadoon, previously announced as candidates, independent of the convention, repeated, be- j 7re. V,e ei tl;elr ' cterminafion not to yield to its ""."""I , ' '" l" "" yiniin uim.-uj me i people. Mr. Carr was most shabbi'.v treated on a form cr occasion, ami, aside from that his distinguished services as President of the Constitutional Convention, warmly commend him to his party. Mr. Haddon ccrt:tinly possesses as many rpialifiestions'for the office as does tho gentleman who received the nomination, and he i is much more entitled to reward." Now all this deep sympathy for Messrs. Carr and i j Ha.ldon is but tho crocodile cries of weeping hypocricy. I tm i r ii i... i.. :.. tins appvui is to jjcmocrais. i uey me oy iiivse cues to be led into an ambuscade, to be slaughtered by a hidden enemy. They intend to vote for neither Co). Carr nor Col. Haddon, but will vote for a whig, an 1 the strongest whig in the District, and tho Democrat who cannot read their movements must be blind indeed. Consistency. The Whig papers are making a terrible outcry about i lie election of Robert Rantoul, Jr., by a coalition of Democrats and free soilers. Whilst no whig can deprecate the election of Mr. Rantoul more than we do, it is but just to state the fact, that Rantoul is no more of a free soiler than Sendder, Davis, G.mdrich or Fowler, who are classed as whigs. In the L-t Congress there was not a more ultra, decided anil uncompromising advocate ,,!' nll tlf, !,lrrli,.r liw doctrines of fib.iliti liiiim than the Rev. Oriu Fowler. We have him in our mind's eye now. in the undress of a priest, sighing and groaning for the slave. He sat on the front scat, "Where still his facr Tron. anci?ul custom wears, A holy ir which MTS to 11 that pass Him by, '1 was a hypocrite." These whigs were elected by the aid of free soil votes, which is a thing so common as not to aitract notice. Hence nothing is said about it. Sigxs of the Times. The Xorth Star, a Democratic p;iper in Vermont, heretofore associated with the ' Free DefftooTary,'' or Free Soil party in tiiat State, nrni 's out, iu a late numftr, very decidedly against the abolition and nullification resolutions of tka " Bethel" fanatics, and takes ground in favor of natiouul Democracy as opposed to a sectional and "one-idea" party The ö'.'ar is not alone in the movement ; the course of affairs aiitoiiu tho Deoy crai v of ihc wiiolu couutry is in the same dirccttoK And as to the whigs. we predict that, before six months the whole body will bo on the non-intervention ground of Gen. Cass and the Democratic party in 13-19 and il it is necessary to secure the Southern vote for 4? en. Scot f . they will go a bow shot beyond what any democrat-has yet gone. LI"'We ask crcry candiifnnd unprejudiced reader who may have had any dHht asto iveraiN "' the fugitiv slave law, to read the frftowin extract from the speech of Mr. Webster on this subject: 1 was in Congress jri the law wns proposed. I was for n proper law; I had, indeed, proposed a different law. I was of opinion that a summary trial by a jury miiiht be hi'd. which would satisiy the prejudices of the 1 pic; but I left the Senate and went to another station before the l:iv was passed. The law of ISjO passed. Now I undertake, as a lawyer and on my professional character, to say to yon and to all. that the law of IStjO is decidedly more favorable to the fugitive than Gcr.e; a! Washington's law of 1793. Such is the present law: and. so much opposed nnd maligned as it is, it is a more favorable law to ihe fapitive than the law of Washing-ton's of 173, which created no disturbance at the time it wns passed, and which was sanctioned I.y the North as well as hy the South. But this apposition is n setüiment of modern times. From whom does this clamor come ? Why. look at the proceedings of the Anti-Slavery Conventions look at their resolutions. Do vou find anions all those per ins who oppose this fugitive slave law any admission whatever that any law ought to be passed to enrrv into Sect jhe solemn stipulations of the Constitution? Tell me any such case! Tell me if any resolution was passed by the Convention at Syracuse lavoring the d ahe Constitution? Notone! The fact is. , g gentlemen, they oppose tue whole they oppose tie whole they oppose the whole! N 't a mnaof them aumits that there ought to ! auy hiw on tili. Wjeet.

The famous salt lake called the Sal dal Rey, lies about forty miles from Brownsv ille, Texas. It covers an area of between four and live thousand acres. The saline qualities of the water are such that there is a pure, clear bed of salt, about a foot deep, extending over the whole surface, and if any part be removed in twenty-four hours it is completely replaced. This lake formerly yielded a large revenue to the Spanish government. It is supposed to be capable of supplying the entire United Stales with salt. Nature has given man au abundant supply of the great preservative. E?"We hear Democrats and whigs declare, within a few weeks, that they will vote fu- no man for Congress who is the least suspected of lav ring slaveiy agitation" in Congress, or who is not willing to abide by the compromise. They are sick and tired of the negro fuss and expense! We give the Whigs credit for this good resolve. "Good Democrats always right on the question. Shelbyrille Volunteer. Svmptom or Age.

England and France, carried away by a burst of renerous cut husiasm. ordered their fleets to the : Dardanelles, that they might, it necessary, protect 1 ur. key against compulsion on the part cd Austria and Raa. sia.

And this imprisonment, protracted already for nearly two years, it is now declared will continue "at the pleasure of Austria." We know what that means. Kossuth will rot in his dungeon, but never come out alive, unless some jreat political earthquake, shaking the ihrone of Hapsburg down, shall also burst open his prison gates Alas! for the fate of this great ami noble soul.

Always fragile in tody, the ruin of his country and his own hopeless confinement, have, it is said, preyed upon his constitution, so that his days, to human foresight, are fa-t being numbered. But. in his lonely imprisonment, he has one otace at least. The great lieart of Hungary beats for him. with every pulsation, throbs of generous tjmpathj und hemic love Ill every household, where the idea of Hungarian independence was entertained, prayers go . . up night and morning for the exiled patriot. Africa loves and reverences her Washington, but that love and reverence is nothing compared to what Hungary entertains for Kossuth; for with equal " admiration and worship is joined that profmnd sympathy which those who suffer feel for each other in their woe.

A Whig editor, complimenting Hon. R. C. Schenek, Minister lo Brazil, among other things says, " he it an honest man." Now Pope says, " Au honest ni-.u ' the uoliiest work of God." Under that definition, it is a perfect burlestpie to call Bob Schenek an 14 honest man." Reader, did you ever see au tin washed, uncombed, sun-burnt school toy. writhing under the agonies of a briar sticking in his heel?

The Cincinnati Gazette, in speaking of diilercnt Hotels and Landlords, thus speaks of some of the citizens of Indianapolis in that line: The Tnttle family presents rather an anomaly at f ' ;s time.

Wright. The senior Tuttle has also attached to him M Indianapolis, Gen. Elliott, another son-in-law, formarly of the Wavcrly House, of this city, P. E. & G. P. Tuttle, of the City Hotel will, early in August, remove to their elegant Woodruff House, on Sycamore street aUiveTbiid. This will be second in its appointments to no house, cast or west. Another son-in-law is the proprietor of a hotel in Piqua. So that the whole family is in some way attached to the western hotel interest. Robbery at the World's Fair. On the 13th ult. it was discovered that a rohliery had been committed in the American department, under very mysterious eireumstances. It appears that Mr. D. W. Wilson, of Hartford.

A full description of the property was sent to every police station in the kingdom, also to the various pawn-brokers and dealers in such articles as the article stolen. ITT-GolJ, as rich as that from the mines of California, is said to have heen recently found in Maine, and in a portion of the State on the borders of the line which separates it from Canada, heretofore considered a wilderness. So great is the excilement created by the discovery, that raftsmen are said to have abandoned their logs, and the farmers their shovels and noes, to engage in searching for tbe precious metal.

I 111 ot tnrce i,e apioi..ic,i io j.. . .aie a y . uuoie im n ' " UU,CSJ loutu lemcracy of the tourtb Congressional District, which was adapted. The committee alter re, .r.ng reported the follow.ng address and resolutions, which were unanimously adoptTO THE DEMOCRATS OF THE FOURTH DISTRICT. Fellow Citizens: Although we are fully aware of the unlavornble prospet'l lht we as a p'ly have of electing a Democrat to Congress from ibis District, yet we feel anxious that an til rt should to made, and if nothing more can to done we can at least show that we ' have some rcirard for principles, and that we are aot like stock in the market, to to tongbt and Mild to the liiLhcst bidder. lint we tl.iuk tne silo ss thai t.as alwars attended tin- nerseveriiiT ellorls d! the DcinocraeV oJ the country warrant the expectation thai something more can le accomplished even in this forlorn District. But there is another consideration, asiJe from the success of the Democratic candidate, to which we will call your attention. This country has now reached a crisis which threatens its overthrow, which will require sll the exeitions of the friends of the Cnion lo sustain tlie late Compromise Measures, on which the only hope for the safety of the Government rests. These measures have been and arc Mill violently assailed, not only in the I Acw England Stales, but here at home tu our own dts j trict. We now have a candidate in the field, indnstri- ' ously engaged in devising means to secure ins election. We have much reason to believe that proposals are now being made to the democratic party lor votes to secure the elect-on of this candidate. How far this coalition : may go it is hard to tell, but in the event of the Democrats having no candidate, it niav s- ciirc ti." eie. ei-ai of this candidal lor wc understand that the price offered for this l nio n. is scats in the L-uislalure and Cuntv offices, which mar influence manv Democrats. Should the democrats neglect to bring out a candidate v.-hose views will represent the principles of the party, it vuli be regarded as presumptive testimony, at least ihnt the whole party have consented to taN amalgamation, which may result in the election of a candidate whose views if carried out, will tend lo the dissolution of this Daiau. Can it be possible that the Democrats of the ioiirih District wiii sudor themselves to be placed in this .-.n-ltionf A eouditioa which, at tins time when tho fate of the country is in ihe issue, will place them on the side of the ciieinv. This is the true issue, and i what gives inconceivable importance to the present can. v iss is not so much Bank or 1 arid, or whether the administration is to lie whig or democrat but il is, Got. eminent or no Government. Whether the best govern ment on earth is to be torn into fragments, divided ssstmder into billigerant and bleeding parts; and that the sparks of civil and religons liberty, which was kindled up on ibis continent by Henry. .'. Ifersoii, ami Franklin, is to be blown out. and the world again lo Ik? involved in darkness and despotism; or whether it shall go on until the rays of the sun of liberty shall reach every pai t of the habilatde globe. This being the issue we will n"t lelieve unless we are compelled, that there is not a large majority of the democrats of this District, anxious to see ! immediate measures tiken to place them in their true ! P0''"" hefcra the country. We. therefore, propose i that the Denioei .its ,,1 ti.is Uisti i, t ;issi mlde at C am bridge Civ. either I.y mass-inect in", or ny delegates, on Friday the 2Cth of June next, for the purpose of nom'"'""'i: L nmn candidate lor this DM net, and that we put our shoulders to the wheel, and do all we canto ' .. , . . r .. ... , , . . . elect him ; and ll we fail we will at least cluar oui solves of disgracing ourselves and the Democracy of the State by a coalition. PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS. Wherf.vs. We believe that a realer degree of pros, poritv. equality, civil, religousand political Illicit) has been enjoyed under our Government than any other. And Whereas, we believe its safety depends on a strict adheren e to whai is termed the Compromise Measures, and that we see n.-thing in tin m, nor in the Fugitive Slave Law which is one of them, that transcends the grant of power contained in the Constitution on that subject ; which, in our opinion, was iven expressly for the benefit of the slave holdinj; States: Therefore, Resolred, That rool faith towards those States, nnd duty to ourselves and th country, requites that we should abstain from any move calculated to disturb ihcse measures. Reolred. That we will not vote for any man for Congress who will oppose, or agitate the Compromise Measures. Re&tlrrd. That the proceedings of this meeting le published in the Indiana State Sentinel, and be cop.ed into the JelTcrsonian, and the papers of the fourth District. WM. FREEMAN, Chairman. H. W. Hazard. Src'y. The Sound Democratic Sentiment. It is bevond doubt or question that the great D.-mo-cratic Party of the country , North and South, and East and West, has resolved upon the re-a-sel t ion of the great national principles which governed it in past time, and their maintenance against traitors wit luu and Iocs without, for the future. They arc preparing to rally under the oid National banner and upon the old platform. We have evidence of this in every section ol ihe Cnioo. Indeed, not a note comes up from tbe masses which does not aaaord with the H utiasi nls put forth by the Demo, cratic party in its earliest days, and re-ailii med time and again by the true men who have from one lime to another been recognized as its exponents. The Compromise measures of the last session of Congress are no new feature of the Democratic faith. Whatever of virtue there may lie in them, or whatever glory in their adoption, we claim for the ra st pait,for the Democratic party. They are but the clalioratioii of our ' first principles." They were in essence re-produced at the Ualtimore Conveniion of ls3 by Silas Wuight and unanimously concurred in. The recognition of the rights of the people of all the States, as laid down in the constitution, and the enforcement oi' all laws enacted for the protection of those rights, aas the Democratic plallorm then, and it is the Democratic plat form .ote. ll hns so happened that our -political opponents, obtaining by accident control of the Government, have been called upon to carrv out meaKiires designed and ti amed to perfect these ends. The present liiministraiion coming into power by accident, mnd without the. confidence of the entire W hig party, could not effect the great purpose, and thereby save tbe Union as it Is. without the interference and sufficient aid of the Democratic party throoh representatives of its own faith. That aid was rendered. ai:d most effectually. Ijyaaved the Union, and virtually the Administra-tiun-demonstrating at once, that neither can any party exist or the country itself be saved, and liberty and law ie perpetuated on our soil, except as we cling to the great, iirt principles upm which the foundation of tbe Democratic party of our conntiy rests. This is a great point which should never Im overlooked or forgotten. Upon tho pure and righteous principles of its organizaton, the parly is to stand or lall. When it discards or loses sight of them, it will perish beyond redemption. But the day for that is far distant. We have passed through a dark and trying time, and again the pure light dawns. We are pressing on to triumphs worthv of our brightest days. Auspicious omens cheer us!" Profiting by the advice of Jaflersoa, however we may havewandered, we are "hastening to regain the road which b ads to pcaee liberty at '1 safety." Tbe first beam of dav breaks from tiie East. The sterling Democracy of Vermont, who have been ridden over in a hundred ooa tests, but never surrendered, call upon us to take the fi-ld for '52, and do battle for the old, established principles which have distinguished our organisation, and tbe men pledged to sustain theiu. Let us heed the appeal. Buffalo Courier. Rail Rovn Since onr last publication several hundred tons of railing have been brought up by steamboats. A sutlicient quantity has nJw arrived to make 3) miles of the road. The balance for five miles is daily expected. This amount will probably complete the quantity necessary for one-half the road. 1 BUM fall commences at Indianapolis with iron received there by way of Madinon.

PThe passengers by the Empire City, on he outward voyage, went up the Chagres river in two steamboats which now mnke regular trips, up one day and back ihc next, running up in ten to twelve honrs nnd down in four to seven hours. These lioats arc large and comfortable, nnd c.-.riv passei'tr. i s with much irrealer safety and security than the boats and canoes heretofore used, especially as now the river is high and much swollen with recent rains. Persons poing out will much add to their safety nnd comfort by taking these boats. One of them, tlie"Wm. H. AspinwalF. can conveniently carry 200 passengers with their baggage, and aftWd all a dry, sbadv and pleasant promenade. She leaves Chagres early in the morning and reaches Gorgona that same evening.
