upon the ever changing and yet continually attrac-

to Messrs. Sheffield and Farnam for the privilege
of enjoying this unparalleled tour, and to the Chi

which never be forgotten by us all so long as

THE BoArs.-The steamers War Eagle, New
St. Paul, Greek Slave, Black Hawk, lola, Hum
boldt, and Montelo, from Lake Winnebago, were
lying at our levee on Sunday last.
The Greek Slave has been reftted, painted and
in other respects greatly improved, at cost of
from $4,000 to $1,000. She is still owned by Capt.
Roberts, and will hereafter run in the st. Paul
and Rock Island trade.
The lola was raised by Mr.. C. P. V. Lull on
Wednesday last. and is now undergoing repairs,
and it is expected will commence her regular trips
in few weeks. The damage done to her is said
to be $1,000.
The Black Hawk reports fall in the water in
the Minnesota river of from six to eight inches.
Her next trip will be only as far as the rapids.
The Humboldt left yesterday morning loaded
with freight for the highest point the river the
water will allow her to reach.
The Monticello is a small though strong craft,
owned and commanded by Capt. E. NJ. Neff, from
Oshkosh, and is destined to run in connection
with the Black Hawk on the Minnesota river
The Black Hawk will take freight and passengers
as far as the water will permit her to go, and
then they will be reshipped on board Of the Mon
tello, no charges being made for the reshipment.
The War Eagle left on Saturday afternoon,
and the New st. Paul left yesterday morning.
The Black Hawk, Greek Slave and Monticello,
were to leave yesterday afternoon.
The arrival and departure of the boats for a
few days past have presented very commercial
like appearance, and we fatter ourselves that
where there are seven boats lying at our levee at
one time this season, there will be fourteen next.
Let them come.

BOARD OF HEALTH-MR. McGRORTY.

MEssRs. EDIroRs: In the Democrat of Saturday
an article appeared over the signature of w. H..
McCrorty, which, if allowed to go unnoticcd, is
calculated to mislead the public mind and cast an
unjust reflection on the ''Board of HEALTH" In
reply to Mr.. McGrOrty's article, we would say
that the Board of Health have acted consistently
with the ordinance and law referred to by him,
and have made no inquiry in the discharge Of
their duties as to whether sick man needing their
attention was Roman Catholic or Protestant, For
cgn or American. The gentleman may rest as
sured that so long as the present Board Of Health
continue to act as such, there will be distinc-
ton made, but all will receive from the Board that
attention which they may need. The Board are
not aware that catholic clergyman advanced the
funds to defray the funeral expenses Of more
than one person, and in that instance the Board
had provided for his burial. If the gentleman re-
fercd to has advanced money, we hope he will
call on any one of the Board and the same will be
refunded forthwith.
In reference to the request expressed by the
gentleman ''that the tax collector would pass
them by," (meaning Catholics,) the Board hopes
that tax collectors will PASS no citizen by, but
that all may share alike in sustaining and promo
ting our glorious American institutions.
A MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
Cy"Wc believe that the Board of Health have
done all that gentlemen could do to alleviate the
sulferngs Of the sick, whether they were Ameri-
cans, Germans, Catholics or Sweeds. If any one
has been neglected it has been purely accidental,
and we feel sure that the suspicious of Mr.. Nc
Grorty are therefore entirely groundless. In
time of sickness the Board of Health have enough
to think of without stopping to inquire into the
religious belief of this one or that one, and had
we not watched closely their movements we might
be induced to believe that they had acted par
tally in administering relief. As it is, we be-
lieye the Board have done their duty, and de-
serve the thanks of the communication.

to these deaths there several other deaths OF
persons who came up on other boats, and in every
instance where the case terminated fatally, it

" The people of Nebraska and Kansas are moi
permitted to abolish slavery if they find it among
them and an attempt to put clause in the bills
organizing them as territories, giving them the
power to do so, was voted down by those members
of Congress who are constantly repeating the

The American Navy.


The London Times in the course of an article
on the American Navy, holds the following Ian
guage:
Whatever may be the actual condition of the
American dockyards, it would be absurd to dis
parage the true naval strength of the States. No
reasonable man would think any more lightly of
the maritime power of the American Union from
the circumstances here disclosed. Twenty years
ago our own ports were spoken of in almost SINH
lar terms. What is it then that contributes so eff
fectually to American reputation, and even car
ries it through exposures which would otherwise
prove destructive? Simply the universal convic-
ton that all the elements Of strength are in rea
ty there in abundance. And what gives the con-
viction? Simply the knowledge that all the seas
of the globe are covered with American shipping,
and though the national arsenals may not con-
tain the materials for frigate. the yards rivers
and harbors of the country could turn out in
twelve months, or even in as many weeks, such
an armada as never yet crossed the ocean. Only
the day before yesterday, We published detail
enumeration of the number of steamships which
had been launched at the port of New York alone,
up to the first day of the present year, and these
hsures actually showed a total of 66, with ag-
gregate tonnage of loo, 0O0;or in other words, &c
ST. steamers averaging upwards of 1000 tons each.
1nere can never be question about the true ma
val power OF State like this.

DEATH OF DIR. SERGEANT.-Dr. Sergeant, from
Meadville, Pa. died of the Cholera, in this city,
on Saturday morning last. He was taken sudden
" soon after the arrival of the Galena, and was
conveyed to the residence of DIR. Goodrich, City
Physician, who, in connection with MIR. Lamb and
others, did every thing in their power to make
him comfortable. His remains were enclosed In
a zinc coffin, filled with alcohol, and that placed
in walnut coffin, and both of these collins placed
in large pine box, it being thought probable that
his friends would be glad to convey his remains
to his family. His funeral was attended by a
large number Of Pennsylvanians and citizens and
it may be source of qualification to his relatives
to know that though stranger among us, he was
cared for as a brother.
The death of DR.. S. is truly painful. He had
been travelling with his daughter and sister-in-
laws, when on reaching St. Louis his daughter
was taken sick, and while she was regaininS her
health, (being convalescent when he left her) he
made a trip to our city to view the country. lie
is conveyed back a corpse.
The DR.. leaves family in Meadville, Pa, con-
sisting of seven or eight children, and his sudden
death will fall heavily upon them.
