Along the River.

The first boat for the Minnesota was the Equa.
tor, Capt. Sencerbox, yesterday. She swung
from the lower !eyee on Saturday at three and q
half O'Clock, and after pushing through some
floating ice, she encountered the mass above, the
P, O. and cut through the gorge successfully
She continued up the river till near Fort SHELL
ing, when, finding the passage about clear, she
returned to the upper levee, and received some
freight. Yesterday morning, at eleven O'Clock,
she took her final leave, with o load of passen-
gers and brass band to furnish music for the
occasion. This boat has been thoroughly reft-
ted and refurnished; the cabin has very neat
appearance. She has an excellent set Of hands,
and bids fair to do some good service during the
season. ,,4c sb 81 Il i5.sa I.s sfs
I The Time and Tide has also been rejuvenated,
and sails for the head Of Lake Pepin to-day
This is the largest boat that has wintered here,
and now presents an excellent appearance. She
will ply between this city and the boats below
until the gorge is out, SO that they can come
through, when she will withdraw and make her
summer trips up the Minnesota. The Clarion in
tends clearing for the Minnesota to-day. Fort
Ridgely will be the terminus of her trip, for which
place she has one hundred tons Of freight, be-
sides large amount for intermediate points.
The Wave is yet at our levee; will leave for the
Minnesota in few days. 17''.'s. '1I'' 41 ~ =
From below we have nothing new. The Lake
was still frozen over at last accounts, and the nu-
nerous passengers on the waiting boats had
unanimously resolved not to swallow any more
sweetmeats about Minnesota winters. This is
unfortunate for us, for these newcomers will
form most unfavorable opinion of our Terrific
ry, and conclude that we are ga leetle too far
up," though we may assure them ever SO reso-
nantly (and assure them truly that we have ,sev-
er known such dubious, disagreeable, breezy,
freezy, foggy, snow-wrapped, frost-bound Spring
before. Never since white settlements begun
here, has there been so large an instalment of
Nova Zembla. But these sharp-eyed emigrants
won't believe this story with the whole North
west at its back they know that s'never was so
before'' is the song always sung to new pioneers
when anything goes wrong. So we can only wait
and add the testimony of another Spring.
Meanwhile, the gorge this side of Hastings is
said to be penetrabIe by a passage through the
ice that is yet clear. The ice on the Lake is
loosening, and boat must be through soon. The
Mississippi at this point is now clear of ice-ths

a second call of the roll a majority were found
to be present, when ssbusiness'' came up for ao-
tion in the shape of few ''sharp cuts'' between
the aforesaid Owens and Mr.. Iglehart. The
storm, however, passed over, and a committee of
five was appointed to draft resolutions expressive

at half past O'Clock. The committee consists

Haile's majority in New Hampshireis now said
to be about 1000. The Patriot buchanan paper)

ssThis result is more disastrous to the Democ-

true, We did not anticipate a Democratic victory;
but We hoped for at least partial one-that we
should divide the field with the enemy-that a
drawn battle would be the result of the contest.

ADULrERArIoN OF LIQuoRs. 81 The New York
State Register is exposing the fraudulent and
mischievous adulterasions Of liquor practiced by
dealers in that city. A bottle of the best brandy

on analysis to be common American whiskey, fla
vored with what is called oil Of cognac, most
deadly poison. Genuine liquors nov bear 90 high

than other liquors that Is il not 90 likely to b.

drove all the Indians they could find out of the
