NAVIGATION OF The WlscoSsts.--From the

NAVIGATION OF The WISCONSIN. From the
:, nar;men,s made this season, the navigation
e This river. heretofore considered impracti-
able or uncertain, is no longer conJecturai.
rwo steam boats have ascended as high as :
Helena. and one Of them had made her second
trin TO the Portage without meeting the ordi-
nary difficulties to be encountered IN naviga-
ting ne,v streams, of even larger dimensions.
We learn from gentleman, who witnessed H.
that two boats, the Science and ENJOY were
at the landing at Helena at the same time on
Friday last,--the former on her second return
trip from the Portage, and the latter success
fully vending her way to the same place. we
congratulate our citizens upon the success u
this important enterprise, assured that he 10.
suit must greatly tend to the advancement Of
this portion Of the country. BY an exceilen'
nas;ra, road,--:.ie Wisconsin can nov Se
preached from this place at Helena IN Gus
lance of only twenty-five miles, and at Eng,ish
Prairie in a distance of twenty-seven miies'
and by equally as good aroad---the former De-
ing about eighty. and the latter hity,H.s Mnes
from the Mississippi. The route 70 pom mes
points, we are Informed, is by mgn noge.'
without any streams or ravines TO Cross wnon

order, with trifling expense, at all seasons %

warm themselves. Hence bread, beef,
potatoes and poultry, will always be in
demand-so too with anthracite coal.
, It is a necessary oflife. Population is
, rapidly increasing all around US. No
family can live without fire. One ton
: of anthracite coal is worth two cords
Of wood. We carry our coal to New
York at reasonable profit, for Ave dol
lars ton; and less than week the
: rail road to White Haven will be in
operation. Who can doubt that our
, mines willcontribute largely tothesup-
: ply of New York and the eastern mar
ket? Coal may be safely estimated as
worth so cents at the mine. Coal in
New York will not fall below SO cents
bushel in ten years-if ever.
