Excursion tc Salt River.

|
| pears on the outside of the chase, giving al
the particulars, it will be seen that persons
needing ga row up Salt River" can enjoy
that exquisite felicity by immediate application
to the Captain of the fleet, fast running and an.
snaqgable little steamer Anti Know Nothing,
which will leave this port for the above destina-
ton this morning at o'clock.
We are requested by the Captain, to state
that owing to the anticipated popularity of this
classic stream and the consequent crowd of pas
sengers solcitous of visiting that favored local.
ity, he will continue to make regular trips un-
til after November next.
We cheerfully recommend trip, at this time,
as beneficial to the health of the Antics who
feel slightly indisposed on account of the result
of Mondays election. The waters of this stream,
as its name indicates, will be found highly re-
freshing to disappointed Office seekers, while, at
the same time, they are considered highly pre-
sentative when applied to disappointed hopes
and diseased expectations. 1t would be well
here to recommend that the party's rooster be
restoration, if possible, of his declining health,
and that rich shanghai accent, which charac-
terized his supreme featherness.
We are assured that the s'bustin' of bilers"
will be religiously guarded against: inasmuch
as the captain is fully convinced that they have
had "blowing up enough already. A large
lot of life preservers have been provided for the
trip, toprevent drowning from sorrow, and q
patent safety valve is to be attached to the yea
lous of the party, to admit of the free egress of
overweight enthusiasm. A special berth has
been provided for the superior accommodation
Of the Ajax of the Antics who in the extreme
of his cunning, was inconsiderate enough to inn
agine that he could deposit salt upon the tail of
that venerable bird, the American eagle; dur
ing the trip he will be attended by four servants
in livery, who will act as body guard, armed to
the teeth with fly brushes, hartshorn, and ASA
foetida.
For the benefit of the distressed in pocket,
who were retrieved of their small change by in
judicious bets on the election, it. would be we'll
to inform them, they can be accommodated with
through tickets as dead heads ...,..
To make the trip as agreeable as possible, the
Captain has secured the services Of an organ
grinder, who will discourse eloquent music
the programe consisting of rare gems, among
the number, "Come ye Disconsolate," Wake
Snakes" &C Crow Chapman, Crow" Such Gitnn
up Stairs ETC., After the musical performance,
and salt-atory movements Of each evening, there
will be grand distribution of prizes to the
Euer Faithful Wigs of Lafourche, consisting Of
beautiful tin cups, elegantly chased with appro-
pirate inscriptions Illustrative of their high APP
probation of their services at their grand Wa
terloo Of Monday. To the democratic priyates,
who served in the engagement, and covered their
arms with glory there will be presented a brass
button each, with the stamp of a rooster on it.
We doubt not from the above list Of attrac-
tive inducements, that the steamer will 20 out
crowded with passengers.
All persons desiring visit to this delightful
saline watering place, will find itgreatly to their
interest to call Immediately at the wharf-they
will readily recognize the boat from the fact
that she bears the broad pennant of the Union
Tack, with the patriotic inscription of Is Onion,
now and forever one and inseparable." For
'urther particulars see small colored Bill.
