Trim m the River.

One day last week, tired Oh the monoto-
nous routine of our Office duties and COM
bining business with pleasure, we boarded
the fine steamer Excelsior and were soon
after speeding our way up the river. The
gathering shades of night shutting from
our view the beautiful scenery presented on
either side of the river, after taking part
ing promenade on deck, viewing short
time with feelings Of awe the blazing comet
which seemed rapidly sinking into the wes-
tern horizon, We returned to the cabin.
The following morning, We found ourself
opposite Moline-a famous manufacturing
village, few miles above Rock Island, on
the Upper Rapids. Landings made at
small towns arc not much dissimilar. The
whistle is sounded-passengers repair to
the guards-a squad of half a-dozen vii
layers is seen in front of warehouse at
the edge of the water, among whom the
business man" NAV be distinguished by
his anxious face and hurried manner the
plank is showed out--a few articles are Ia
ken ashore, Zone of which is very likely to
be barrel of whisky)-the bell taps-and
the boat is off. Thus we passed Hampton,
Leclaire, Port Byron, Cordoyia, Camanche,
Albany, Lyons, Fulton City, Sabula, Sa-
vannah and Bellevue-all fou"ishing little
places.
After winding our devious way through
the interstices of the bluffs which overhang
Fevre river, through dense fog, we ar
rived at Galena early in the morning. The
appearance of Galena may be described in
three almost synonymous words-rough,
rugged, rocky. Notwithstanding its un-
prepossessing appearance, it is place of
vast wealth, enterprise and business, and
will surely be a great city tho distant day.
Dubuque, which place we visited the fol-
lowing day, presents better appearance.
The harbor, however, INSTRUCTED by small
sstow- heads" has always been source of
inconvenience to the Dubuquers, but the
Z. S. dredge boat, G. w. Jones, is now en-
ployed in digging out steamboat channel
through them to the wharf. Dubuque is
improving more rapidly this season than
during any preceding one. The Illinois
Central Railroad will terminate on the OPP
posite side of the river. We noticed a
quantity of iron rails piled on the shore.
The people of Dubuque intend extending
this road westward from their city.
While in Dubuque, we paid flying visit
to our friends of the press. Found Mr..
Merritt, Of the Cypress, too busily engaged
in dispensing copy to the g devil" and com,
pliments to his intimate friends for US ,os
introduce ourself. Surprised Mr.. Mahoney,
of the Herald, up to his elbows in pile of
exchanges, inditing those little items which
sparkle so brightly in his valuable paper.
Did not find Mr.. Woods, of the Tribune, in
his ofiicc-was sorry to arm that he was
confined to his residence by sickness.
Our return voyage, on the good steamer
Shenandoah, was devoid of any peculiar
interest.
