In 1901, three boats went up the Minnesota

the stream during the season In 1853, the
business required an average of one boat per
day In 1854, the business had largely in.

from the Minnesota amounted to 119
The present season on the Mississippi has
been very prosperous one, and the arrivals
at st. Paul exhibit gratifying increase over
sny preceding year, notwithstanding the sea.
son Of navigation has been two weeks shorter
than last season. Owing to the unusually
early gorge in the river at Hastings, upwards
Of fifty steamers bound for this port, and
heavily laden with merchandise and produce
were compelled to discharge their cargoes at
Hastings and Saltwater.
Navigation this season opened on the 18th
OF April. The Lady Franklin arrived on the
evening Of that day, from Galens. Previous
to her arrival, there had been eighteen arri-
walls at our landing from the head of Lake
Pepin and twelve arrivals at the foot of the
lake, from Galena and Dubuque.
Nicaragua.-A New York dispatch, dated
December q, says:
"Orders have been received by the Gov
eminent officers here to stop all shipments of
arms and provisions to General w alker.
"The President has issued an order for tho
gan, and General Walker, to answer for seiz
ing the property of the Accessory Transit Com

1t being as much the duty of this Govern
Inent to stop recruiting for the war of Walker
against the Central Amsrica an Governments as
in the case Of the late war of the allies against
Russia, We take it for granted that further
SD ipments of recruits for Walkers army from
this country have been summarily stopped by
orders from this city. We ioubt the story
with reference to arms and provisions how

Of our neutrality law. The story Of the order
for the arrest Of Garrison, Morgan and alker
