we touched at Manhattan, pretty city location,
and three miles further at Toledo, equally pretty
in prospect. Both, for places Of but yesterday,
to promise fair for future greatness, and the
main essentials for fiourishing, soul and persere-

The Uncle Sam steamboat passed out, upward

put out-but we soon passed around her bow and
left her.

we were detained two hours by the intrusion of

the confusion, under the floor and furnace, and
were extracted though much effort on the part Of

all were set at liberty. The arrest, frem what we
could learn, was prompted more in wrath than
