The newspapers down the river in
form us that Il steamboat is to be built
for navigating the Cedar River be-
tween Cedar Rapids and Cedar Falls.
The cars Of the Chicago, Iowa and
Nebraska Railroad will soon be run
ming to Cedar Rapids, and as mat
ter OF course, a conveyance of some
kind must be had to convey the null
titude Of people and tons of freight
which will naturally come over that
road, to the North and West. 1t is
proposed to build a boat that will car.
~ from eighty to one hundred tons,
and draw about ten or twelve inches
of water. The cost of the boat is es,
timatcd at about $4,000. 1t would
undoubtedly pay for itself in short
time

From Washington.

defeat in the rejection of the
Army bill. The only chance for Lee
compton in the House is such an in
crease of patronage as will buy mp the
House. The Northern hirclngs have
been kicked, cuflcd and dragged by
the South SO low, that their present
impulse is to pocket their wages and
run, declining further service in that
behalf.
The President failing in his efforts
to increase the regular army, next
tried to gain the consent of Congress
for volunteers. This was likely to go
down with certain Northern members,
but it being the fact that soldiers were
wanted for Kansas and not Utah, the
Southern members feared the volun-
teers would be too fresh from the peo-
pie, and too little under the subsection
of discipline, to become the ready i'll
struments for the consummation of so
stupendous fraud upon the liberties
of X ansas, and so the "bOrdcr ruff
ans" voted that, after all no increase
of the army is necessary.
The President now knows that he
must rely upon the army as it is for
the Utah emergency. If he shall
choose to withdraw the troops from
Kansas he will have abundant rein
forcemcnts for Utah and if, in the in
sulting anticipation that the people OF
Kansas will need troops to keep them
