started ahead. The Oregon passed her at
Bonecary Point, and think we have beaten

Vlcksburgh. Time to Paducah 4 days
| Above Helena, the water is low, and it is
hard TO run round all the bars, &c. The
water in the Ohio, you know. is very low.
Had the river been in a favorable state al
the way up, we wou have made the time
to Louisville in about days, 90 hours.
We have several steamhoatmen on board
and all are fully Of the opinion that had tht
the river been in good stage, we would have
made the best time ever made.
You may put down the Oregon" as tn
fistest boat out-ol this there is scarcely
doubt all who come up with US this trip, be
lieye her to be so.
We laid over one day at New Orleans OIL
purpose to come out with the Scott. She hat
received quite large quantity of freight
but finding the Oregon was laying back 70
her, Sturgeon turned his freight over to III
steamer United States, and fully prepare

1t is an easy matter TO denounce men IN

hibition Of the perfect ease with which 1t can
be done. The people, however, desire EVIL

They wish to be satisfied that the payment OF
the Galphin claim was =" swindling transac-
tion," before they will denounce and condemn
the administration. OF this they never can
be satisfied by the idle aspersions of the Re-
publican, so its editors had better resort TO
something else.
The administration IS ou'-living the slar-

back, with redoubled force, upon the impuri-

We cannot conceive that the fall of the ad
