THE MISSOURI NAVIGATION

Mr.. PATTERsoN:-Some weeks since |
sent you statement of the arrivals and
departures of steamboats,, at this place.
during the past season, and promised that
with your consent, l would set forth al
some future time, that we were possessed
of equal if not superior advantages in
navigation over other western rivers.
One great advantage we hold over the
Ohio is, that we have a continued naviga-
ton from the time our river first opens.
while it, 0he Ohio is subject to periodical
rises and falls, so that during nearly one
half the season it is only navigable to boats
of small draught, or even precarious for
flat boats That river, however, generally
opens sooner, and by that means, they can
get their produce to market at an earlier
period than we.-The enormous price Of
bail rope and bagging last fall was caused
by the very low state of the Ohio river,
Missouri Manufacturers had, and were con.
stantly sending theirs, to market, while that
of Kentucky, was laying in the ware houses,
waiting for SweH to ship it. This advan-
tage more than makes up the difference,
caused by tho opening Of that river.

Harrison's majority, excluding South
Carolina, 1865.
*The Legislature Of South Carolina e,
lects electors; therefore the popular vote OF
that State cannot be ascertained. At the
election for members of Congress in Oc,o-
Der, $40, there were democratic maiorties
in every Congressional district in the State.
There was one wing member elected, ow-
ing to two democrats running against him.
In several districts there was no wing can
dIdate, so the popular democratic majority
at that election cannot be ascertained. We
have seen various estimates OF the popular
vote, some as low as 1000, and others as
high as 23,OO0.-Globe.

tives. He presented pitable appearance. He
complained Of his party, and Of his treatment in
the public journals; said he had been misrcpre-
sented in the papers, and announced his deter
mination never again to be candidate for public
Office, and his hope that this declaration would
induce the papers to let him alone. He is a fair
specimen of loco foco legislator. Peace to his
memory!
CORPORATIONS.
The fear Of corporations haunted the Van Blu
rem members to the last A member pared
them to moon.eyed horse, who was perpetuaIIy
taking fright when there was no danger, and by
trying to avoid an imaginary obstacle, would run
on post or crag without necessity.
The fear Of corporations tortures many weak
minds most inconceivabiy, and during the present
session it has prevented the adoption Of many
useful measures.
Altogether, this Legislature has not done much
good; but the Wings have succeeded in defeating
many perncious measures.

A great many persons labor under the
impression, that our river is more dapoer4-
Gus than any other, though references TO
the business done on this river last wear.
and compared with that Of other rivers
will show that fewer accidents, considering
the business done, happen on the Missouri,
than any other stream. But three boats
were lost last season, and one of them
running during storm, so that the differ
ence in the appearance of the waters by
which the pilot is partly guided, could not
be discovered. Almost every mail we re-
ceive tidings of some boat reaching the
bottom of the Ohio or Mississippi, but sell
dom is il we are called upon to record an
accident, on our own muddy stream.
Our freights are generally received at
a moderate price, and our insurance can
not be complained of Our boats are gen.
orally substantially built and well furnished,
while our officers are obliging, and desir..
Gus of accommodating their patrons; as
far as lays in their power.
Mr.. Editor, am not prejudccd in favor
of this river, though believe the great in
crease in the wealth of our mighty State,
has been and is to be, through the medium
of this channel, and should any wish to
convince me that | am wrong in any thing
| have above stated. they will find none
more open to conviction, than

REPORT
OF THE BANK COMMITTEE ON GOV, BoGGs' RECON-
MENDATIoN TO ISSUE FIVE DOLLAR BILLS.

The committee on the Bank. to whom was refer
red so much of the Message Of Gov. Boggs as re-
commends an amendment to the Bank charter. as
to authorize the Bank to issue notes of the denom-
inution Of five dollars have had the same under con-
sideraior and have instructed me to make the fol-
lowing report:
First your committee are fully Of opinion, that
it would be impotic and unwise to authorize the
Bank to Issue notes of less denomination than ten
dollars and that the Bank should not be permitted
to deal in any notes of less denomination than the
minimum Of her own issues; and in the notes of no
denomination whatever Of any non-specie paving
Bank, deprecated paper, or post notes or paper
which does not pass at par, convertible into spe
Gle; and that all notes or Bank bills below the de-
nomination Of five dollars ought to be prohibited by
law from circulation in the State at any period
after the adjournment of this General Assembly
and that all notes below the denomination Of ten
dollars ought to be prohibited from circulation al
some more remote period.
Your committee believe that with such course
of policy, the currency Of this country would be re.
stored to sound condition. and that gold and sill
yer coin would in that event supply the place of de-
preca,ed notes, which at this time constitutes the
basis Of our small circulation.
Your committee deem it not necessary at this
time to enter into further arguments IN support
of the above propositions inasmuch as it is admit
ted by all that gold and silver coin is the only
stitutonal currency Of our country, and the only
sound basis Of tho circulation of the world abroad.
Where small bills permitted TO circulate as
currency, gold and silver disappears; and rs pa
ger money is expelled from circulation, as a natu-
raj consequence its place will be supplied with gold
and silver.

BEING IN Loyr--The epoch OF being in love,
Notwithstanding all, is the most sgreeable 10 inc

renee He who is in love cherlshes HE, ana
enjoys il the better for the little drawbacks IN
other affairs, which only heighten loves relish
when we return 10 il. IL is better agd pleas

colors our conduct is an agreeable characters

correction of our perverse natures and, while
its season lasts, always mends the heart. Let
