merchandise on the steamboats,, propelers and sail
craft navigating the Lakes, has this year exceeded

comes up the Lakes is loaded down with men and
merchandise, seeking home or a market in the
tree and fertile West. For the last three or four
days we have had a succession OF crowded boats

The Missouri followed on Friday with an equally
heavy yload. And on Saturday the magnificent EN-
pre- came into port, bearing upon her ample decks
ana within her capacious hold the largest number
Of passengers and the greatest amount OF freight
ever transported in one vessel on the Lakes. The
number OF persons landed at this port alone must
