x,v1CArIoN OF ROCK RIVER.

The steamboat LIGHTER, Captain
Eajrchilds, direct from st. LOUIS
erected the drowsy senses OF the peo-
ele of Jefferson this morning between
Twelve and one o. clock, by her wei
come pull, as she walked majestically
M the channel Of Rock river to our
o,,iet town. And before the citizens
could collec. their waking faculties to
realize the sound, the roar OF cannon
from the shore, amid the united huzzas
of the crowd on board, gave assurance
that the experiment was completely
successful.
The Lighter is real MISSISSIPPI,
boat, regularly built for freight ana
Messengers, 1875 feet long, and rs wide,
propelIed by stern wheel. She has
been plying for some time past upon
the lower part OF Rock River, and has
now made her experimental trip to a
much higher point than any boat from
the Mississippi has before reached. In
doing so, she has settled two disputed
noints-that the river is navigable;
and that, at proper stage of water,
the navigation is perfectly safe. She
bro't about 600 passengers, large pro-
portion of whom were from James
Vile. She draws without freight, one
and half feet water loaded, three feet;
has two decks, with spacious cabins,
and an enterprsing and gentlemanly
