The EowaYille Ront.

This steamer, built and owned in the
Des Moines Valley, paid US a visit on
Saturday last, and another on Monday.
We find her bearing the name of N. L..
Milburn, her en:erprising builder. and
differed as follows: N. L. Milburn,
Captain; L. E. Settle, Clerk; and f. s..
Davis, Pilot. Her extreme length is
1875 feet; % feet beam; and freight ca
pacity of $50 tons. Her machinery is
entirely new, and is said to be OF the very
best qualify, with power equal TO any
emergency and some TO spare.
We find aboard, besides the officers u
bove named,our old friend A.E.D. Bous-
ques, Esq, of Pella, one of the presen.
owners of the Boat, and one upon whose
energy, perseverance, and large expend-
iiure of capital and credit, the undertak.
ing has in no small degree depended
The entire cost of the Boat, we are told,
is about 10000. a large sum, il is true;
but then if she has good luck, and the
Desmoines people extend helping hand
in the way Of freight, as they ought and
we have no doubt will do, she will soon
pay for herself, and remunerate her own
ers. who so richly deserve il.
We are happy to learn that the Mil
burn works well in every particular; that
she has made eigh, miles an hour, against
the current. and is good at all times for
five; and that she passed the locks with
the greatest ease. We can testify that
she passed the rapids here withou. an
apparent extra exertion. She was
freigh.ed mainly with coal 10 Keokuk,
and brought up 100 tons OF merchan-
die for various Towns, as high up as
Red Rock.
The Milburn was chartered to carry
the cargo of the Badger State above. and
lef, here for Fl. Des Moines. and inter-
mediate ports on Wednesday. at 8 a. m.
