~ The Ohio River and its tributaries, and the Mississippi
River above the mouth of the Ohio generally low to
be navgaed by the largest class of boats except for few
trips IN the Spring ol the year and even then after passing
the d9nge Of shoals snags rocks etc above the mouth Of
pon TO nlsh out Their cargo and are wiling to take it at
that during high water freight can always be shipped from
ONO Ctty 10 New Orleans at low prices and, during low
stages water, al the above the mouth OF the Ohio
The largest class OF boats Obliged leave their regular
trade and run from some point not above the mouth of the
Ohio River to New oreanthere being generally not more
than four months out of the teven which the largest
Of steamboats, can be employed above this point with any
thing Ike full freight and consequently Obliged to lay
up the most OF the season or run from this point New Or
leans II follows that from Ohio City they afford to carry
freight at extremely low prices Freghts at present undergo
from to three unnecessary shpmentse freight in
Instances becoming damaged from five TO per by
handling and the cost OF getting the same to market amounts
IN instances TO double what il should do. We believe
that by the producer shipping direct TO Ohio City and from
there New Orleans, there will be saving freight of
least $50 per cent In Getting the same market Feg hit can
be stored in warehouses at Ohio City (when needed for
immediate shment for at most hall the cost OF storing
and shipping IN the cities above the mouth Railway will
be constructed from the Whaboat the warehouses on the
k to convey the property intended to be stored That it
cannot possibly be soed damaged-and when stored

usly y ana they can contract deliver the same al given
time with certainty of reaching the market from this point
FAIRIES shipping IN the Fall with view to get out their
Produce previous TO the upper rivers being Distracted by ice
or from any other cause will find for their interest TO store
the same at this point and 10 avail themselves of the
IN New Orleans, which generally occurs ON the clon ~
navigation above the mouth Of the Ohio thereby
TO themselves the power OF sending forward at sntabe
time, and having sold arrival saving the heavy
in New Orleans OF Storage, Drayage etc. 7N'
The Missouri River year getting worse and more
dangerous 10 navigate and 1t thought that only
means OF getting Produce from that rich and fertile part Of
the State will be by OF Railroad which is now in
contemplation from Lexington TO Ohio City bpt wban
boats all the Missouri River the great advan
tage of running direct Ohio City viii at once be seen
The simple fact Of much freight from all points above
this place for rehipment should concluvey all per
sons that it Is the natural and proper point OF shipment
Ohio City on high ground entirely above all overflow
and beautifully situated At present the steamboat CONVOY
and several other large boats running regularly from this
line between the two places line of boats about to be
established TO run from Ohio City to Pttsbug and all the
teru on the Illinois River, and also to Lexington, the
Missouri River,
