Fox River Observation-Disclosures Of thc BARK
..SI. CharIcs ExpcrimcnI.r

On Tuesday evening last Mr.. Joseph J.. Keiscr
and lady, arrived at our steamboat landing in
beautiful Bark, six tons burthen from St. Charles
Kane county, Illinois. Mr.. X. left st. Charles
the 18th inst. amid the smiling countcnances of
a large collection Of citizens of that place who had
assembled to witness his departure on this hazar-
dous aud novel enterprise. He descended Fox
River without much trouble, notwithstanding the
low stage OF the water at present and the dam at
Green's mill, &C. might be considered by some US
presenting insurnoun,abc barriers.
The Experiment. we believe, is the first craft
that has ever descended this beautiful stream this
distance, save, perhaps, the frail bark OF the Indian
in days gone by. The distance from st. Charles
TO this place, is about eighty miles by water pas
sing through a section of country which, in point
OF fertility, is not surpassed by any tract Of coun
try in the Union, and TO the enterprise and cxcr-
tons of Mr.. Kcscr belongs the honor of first I'M
dortaling and accomplishing the navigation of
Fox River, which wlnds its mcanderng course
through it.
of novelty. His design is to travel by water to
the river ST. Lawrence, in Lower Canada. by the
following route; From st. Charles down Fox
River to its mouth at Ottawa thence down the
Illinois to its mouth thence down the MISSISSIPPI
pi 10 the mouth fthc Ohio; thence up the Ohio
river to Beaver, Pa. thence by way of the Ohio
and Pennsylvania Canal to Akron, O.. thence on
the Ohio Canal to Cleveland; thence on Lake
Enc TO Banalo, N. Y; thence on the WclIand
Canal to Lake Ontario, and thence to the river
ST. Lawrence.
This route will doubtless prove arduous TO our
friend, but he is in fine spirits aud considers his
worst difficulties ended by having successfully de
seconded Fox River lat the present stage Of the
water He has our best wishes for safe and
pleasant journey, hoping that he may be able to
inform us of his safe arrival AT his distant dcstinl-
ton.

Business IN Ne,o Ywk.--The New York Sun
rsays; 1.-The appearance of heavy trade and
active business continue to greet us on every side.
A walk through the principal business streets on
Saturday satisfied us that our merchants were
doing quite as much as they could reasonably de-
sire. The boxes piled one upon another and the
throng of buyers rendered the streets almost I'M
passablc. The freight boats are all heavily loaded
to and from the city. The tolls received upon
the New York state canals during the first week
of September, amount to S57,752 81. 1t is a
most gratifying fact, too that large proportion OF
the purchases made by the merchants from abroad
are for cash. This shows that there is no fiction
about it-that the country has at length fairly
started upon new career OF prosperity, and
nothing but prudence and energy are wanting to
ensure substantial and triumphant success

extract from his answer:

at the time of the collision between her
and the steamboat Pike, do certify that
on the eve of the 10Th inst, about 8
O'Clock, near the mouth of the Missouri
river they came in contact under the fol-
lowing circumstances, viz: The Fayette
and Glaucus proceeding up the river, the
Glaucus about 400 yards ahead of the
Fayette, met the Pike coming down as
ascending boats, in all cases, have the
shore the Fayette and Glaucus were in
the same track. The Pike after passing
the Glaucus on the outside changed her
course and run between the two boats,
bringing herself directly across the bow
of the Fayette.
Captain Field, seeing the imminent
danger of collision, ordered his boat
(the Fayettc,) to be stopped and backed,
which was done instantly, and the Fay
cite was IN the act of backing, and, in
fact, had made several revolutions when
the Pike struck her. Notwithstanding
which, the Pike being under full head
way, the collision was sufficient to sink
her almost Immediately.
Too much praise cannot be awarded to
the officers and crew of the Fayette for
their untiring and persevering efforts to
save the passengers Of the Pike. After
the boat had backed herself clear from the
Pike, which was done almost at the ms
lant of their striking, Captain Field, see
ing the boat was lost and not passenger
saved, ordered his pilot to run into the
wreck, which was then on fire, by which
act about so passengers, among them
several ladies and children, were enabled
to step from the wreck on board the Fay
cite as the Pike went under.
The accident, on the part of the Fay
cite, we unheslatingly declare to have
been unavoidable, and not particle of
blame, in our opinion, can be attached to
Capt. Field or his officers, but on the
contrary much credit is due to them.
