CHARLESTON, Oct 90, lS49,
On Board the Steamship Isabel
On the 9th Of June last agreeably to your orders
left New York on board the steamship Northerner for
Charleston to make tour through the Southern States

tour as extended and complete as you contem-
plated

York. where hope to report myself to you person.

The label is probably the fastest steamer that has
ever been built in the United States.
1t is a singular fact that country so celebrated
for her fast sailing ships has thus far been with
two exceptions, as compared with England, most
unfortunate in the speed of her steam vessels while
sailing vessels have beat all the of the world

the "clippers" which have a celebrated reputation
Ihe steamers built Mt New York by
contractors, have excepting here aod there nearly
prov complete failures far as speed is concerned
and have enabled Epglisbmen to obtain brief triumph
This fact led several intelligent gentlemen of the
city OF Charleston, who are and have been connected
with mercantile navigation, to authorize Captain VIM.
Rollins citizen OF Baltimore, and largely connected
with steam navigation proceed To that city; and
there build a steamer which shall prove celebrated
for her great speed the eli of old were.
