s NEW ERA II THE HIsroEy OF NORTHERN
WISCONSIN HAS DtwNED.-The little steamboat
Black Hawk, which we mentioned week before
last, as beng expected to engage IN the transPor
tation Of lead, merchandise, Immigrants, &c. on
Lake W!nnebago and Fox River. arrived here on
Monday last, commanded by her owner, the
builder of the Steamboat Milwaukee some years
since. The Black Hawk is built in the shape OF
Il canal boat, is about forty fifty tons burthen,
and her engine is about twenty horse power: the
wheel is ait-she is built in a strong substantial
manner, and travels at the rate Of nine miles an
hour She appears to be far better calculated for
The trade in which she is about engaging, than
any craft upon our waters. Little fears need be
entertained in regard TO her safe passage over the
Rapids especially al the present time, when the
water in Fox River is SO uncommonly high.
What field is thus opened TO the enterpnslng
capitalist of the East, IN which he can make
very profitable investment of his money. The
entire Lead ITddc of all that portion of Wlscon-
sin Territory, north of the DeS MONIES rapids,
can be transported to New Y ork by this route, at
a far more reasonable rate than any other place
on the lake shore can afford. Say .htteen mai
lions of lead is transported on this route would
1t not prove greatly conducive to the prosperity
OF Green Bay, in common with the fertile valleys
bordering on the Wisconsin, Fox and Wolf
Rivers and Lake Winnebago? The Southport
Telegraph states that Lead can lie transported
from the Mineral region to that town for Al cents
per hundred, and from thence to Newly ork or
Boston for 40 cents, making in all 81 cents per
hundred by that route; while the price by the
great southern route is 81 07i; showing diff
terence Of 265 cents per hundred IN favor OF the
Lake route. We assert, without hesitation, that
in fifteen months from this time Lead WILL be
transported by the great northern route at the fol
lowing rates

Showing difference IN favor of the Northern
OF River route over the Lake, of l6 cents per
hundred or :.3 20 per ton; and 425 cents per
hundred, OF SIS 50 per ton over the great South
ern route. Tins is not fancy sketch, but a
statement which may be relied on as correct in
the main Men of capital at the East will un-
doubtedly embark largely in this enterprise during
the ensuing season. A few Ericsson Propcllers
placed on the Wisconsin River. in connection
with three others on the Fox. will divert the en-
IRE Lead trade as far south as Galcna. IN this
were expended in improving Fox River, and
$4,000 more applied 10 the construction of a
canal al Portage, steamers could ply without diff
nculty between Galcna and kakaln and a line
o? small boats will carry the freight from the
Rapids at that place to Green Bay. This will
enable us 10 transport the Lead at rate which
will defy all competition.
But look at the immense quantities of mer-
chandize that would find its way through this
channel. All of Iowa and Wisconsin Territory,
north of the Des MONIES Rapids. together with
The Galena Lead district. could be supplied with
merchandise and bring in return the productions
OF the country, at any time between the 2Oth OF
March and the LIST of December by this route
at much cheaper rate than is charged on the Mis-
s,ssopi and OHIO Rivers, where the navigation rs
