The friends of the Ogdensburgh Railroad
state that from the opening of navigation it has been
doing large inward and outward business. The re-
ports furnished up to the 18th instant show the arrivals
up TO the 2h May last year. rois spring the nsvisa
ton closed time later than usual and the
tual time during which this number of vessels arrived
has been within twenty days. Irrespective of pork.
beef ashes and corn the receipts of wheat alone ESQ
bushels and of -four 81 Jog barrels The of up
freight from New York has far increased that

suits, exceeding the antici patons of the company.
The Toledo Republican thus speaks of
the new steamer Southern Michigan which has Just
made its appearance at the wharf at that place:
The anxiously looked for new steamer Southern Mich

that to speed his highes expectations had been met
Though he had put her to her top speed, the dist
ance, (sixty miles) against heavy wind, was made
from Cleveland to Sandusky In three hours and nine
minutes. Every part of her machinery was found TO
work well, and she promises be the fastest, she
certainly is one of the most magnificent boats the
Lakes.
We find the dimensions of the Southern Michigan
thus given, and her model thus described In The Buffalo
Republic:
In building these vessels they have not followed the
dels of going vesse but have br them OF the wal
line model which unites speed with strength and perfect
symetry But perhaps minute description of these

Southern Michigan have displayed the sound ldg
ent in selecting commander for their boat, Ia its
construction. We have known Captain A. d. Perkins
for many years and all admit that in him combined in
remarkable degree the qualities of obIging and
q ntemsny commanding officer, and skilul and ex
