Wheeling friends can put us right.
This fact, nitbe suck, furnishes the strongest
possible justification OF the eonrse OF Pittsburgh
d the Wheeling Bridge case. The arguments ur-
red BY us was. that tall chimneis weTe WeeessGry

they were net necessary, and that the boats ought

And new on the very first occasion in which

The deductions ofihe Gazette are e1oneous-I

shimAles. While We admit thatto certain style
ofboat they contribute to its beauty, they are use
less as regards speed, Merely subscribing the pnr-
pose Of STngRent, there is no mere utility in them
han there Is in an extra quantity Of skirt to coat

bought this oldtheory of tail chimnies being ne

ploded By the testimoney scientific men, as well
shy the practical Illustrations of large boats
fake, for example, the St. Louis packets, which
vhile they ere heats Of larger tonnage than those
If the Union Line, have shorter chimnies, which
IubseTEe all the purposes of draft and speed.
The attempt of Pittsburgh to make this noble
ine ofsteamers subservient to her hostility, both
lgailst the line and this city, Is small as it must
