THE NEXT PREsIDENcY.-The Cincinnati Ga
zette says: Senator DOUGLAS, of Illinois, has o
pretty strong hold on the affections of Demo
cratic "young America" He is seriously
thought of as the next candidate Of the party
for the Presidency In a recent visit to New
York he won golden opinions, for his accessi-
bility and the free, easy way he has of satisfy
ing all that he can make his own way through
the world. His chance of nomination, at this
present writing, we think equal to that of any
other man in his own political ranks, and far
better than were Col Folks at the opening of
the Baltimore Convention that nominated him
One thing we Wings must make up our minds
tour opponents will bring into the field a
young and vigorous nag that has never been
beaten. Such is Douglas

STEAMER CHAsFros.-weNysstsrday walked

STEAMER acknowledgements walked
down Seventh street to Mr.. Pages wharf, and
made visit on board the new and beautiful
steamer Champion This boat was launched
about six weeks ago, and the work has pro-
crossed so rapidly that she is now complete,
with the exception perhaps of the ornamental
work and painting. The Champion is 100 feet
long, "a feet beam and feet hold, with 81
tons capacity. Her paddle-wheels are "a feet
diameter. The model is sharp, fore and aft,
and she has been built for the express purpose
of illustrating Yankee character-going ahead !!
The saloon is to be fitted up in superior style |;
aft the dining saloon is the ladies' saloon, and
below will be found the ladies' sleeping apart
ments The gentlemen's cabin is below and
and ventilated by windows so constructed that
the sash can be displaced and the windows
closed watertight at moments notice. She
made a trial-trip on Saturday last, and notwith-
standing the disadvantages of new machinery,
and leaking condenser, she ran faster than the
cars do between this city and Baltimore--com-
ing from Fort Washington to her wharf at the
rate of tsoenty miles an hour!
Mr.. Page has another boat on the stocks,
which will be larger than the Champion Sixty
days work only has been devoted to her, and
her ribs are nearly all up and ready for sheath
ing. She is to be It's feet in length, "a feet
beam, and 8 feet hold. Mr.. p. has made the
contract for another, as soon as the Cham
pion's Brother is off.
The energy of Mr.. P. in his improvements
merits high praise. He is now extending his
wharf, at the foot Of 7th street, which, when
finished, will have waterfront of 800 or 900
feet. He has commenced grading 9TH street,
from G street south to the water. This will be
most valuable improvement to the city. We
trust his perseverance may be rewarded, and
the hopes INDUCED respecting the business of
It'll street fully realized.

Washington, escaped with her child, but lost
her baggage and money. Mr.. John Wills, Of
Baltimore, the well-known news-agent and cor

it in safety; and, the papers say, has since been
fortunate enough to recover his baggage
