place is at the head Of navigation on the Mis-
fssippi, and near it is the celebrated cave
mentioned by Captain Carvor,-at that early
day it was prominent point among the In
dians of the Northwest. Its growth has been
far in advance Of St Louis, Chicago or Mil
waukie, thus far. Young America is not fast
enough to prophecy of the growth of Western
cities.
The following, from a st. Paul paper, will
give fair showing Of the increase of business
and ousequent growth of the West:
GROWTH OF TIE SrIAMBoArlNa BUSINESS
Tss SHAsoS OF 1SS6.-About ten years after
the frst successful attempt at steamboa navi-
CATION on the Ohio river, the first steamboat
that ever assembled the Upper Mississippi river
to Fort Smelling, arrived at that post. This
was the Virginia" a stern wheel boat, which
arrived at the Fort in the early part Of May,
1923. From 1923 to 1874 there were but few
arrivals each year-sOmetimes not more than
two or three The steamers running on the
Upper Mississippi, at that time, were used
altogether to transport supplies for the Indian
traders and the troops stationed at Fort Smell
ing. Previous to the arrival of the Virginia,
keel boats were used for this purpose, and
sixty days time, from st. Louis to the Fort,
was considered good trip.
BY q reference to our files, We are enabled
topresent at a glance, the astonishing incre sse
in steamboating business since 1874 The
first boat to arrive that year, was the Otter,
commanded by Captain Harris. The follow

Proceedings Of To-Day

IL TIE SENATE, to-day, the bill to construct
or purchase a revenue cutter to be stationed
at New York was taken up and discussed by
Messrs Seward, Tooubs. Brodhead Fish,
Hunter, Hale, Rusk, Hamlin and Bayard
After being amended, by striking out the
provision conining the employment Of the cut
ter aforesaid to the New York station, the
said bill was passed.
The special order being next taken up, Mr.
Brown addressed the Senate in defence of tho
President 5 message, wherein it discussed the
slavery question.
IL TIE House, the resolution offered on
Mocday last, by Mr. Washburne, of Maine,
calling on me President for information rela-
tive to the cost to the United States Of sup

paid to militia, posses, marshals, DC. on that

SPIRITOF THIS MORNING PRESS.

The Inteii'gsncer to-day quotes the Rich.
mond Enquirer, the Albany Evsnsng Journal
and the Hon. Lucien B. Chase, on the late
disturbances among the slaves in the South.
It's object seems to US to be to ward of the
effect Of the growing conviction throug hout the
South that these occurrences are the result of
the aggregation of nearly majority of the
people of the nOn-slaveholding States into
political party, whose orators and presses are
constantly preaching doctrines with reference
to the existence of African slavery in this
country, which few years since was preached
only by the followers of Fred. Douglass and
Lloyd Garrison However much the intefh
Esncer may be respected throughout the
South, it can accomplish nothing to that end.
The Union is enthusiastic over the last
speech of General Cas-, which was very able
and interesting one indeed. The same paper
also calls public attention to the fact that, in
the course Of the recent debate in the House
on the message, the Republicans invariably
lodged every question put to them, as though
perfectly aware that their positions were those
Of ultra aboli;ionism, and yet unwilling to
avow such sentiments in the face Of the world.
