UNION STEAMSHIP COMPANY

| Under the above title, an incorporated company
! recently opened their subscription books in Bos
ton, for the immediate purpose of establishing
steam communication with this port. 1t has al
| ready met with success there that ensures the
reallzauon OF the project without delay. With
capital stock offour hundred thousand dollars-up.
ward OF s250,000 have been taken there, leaving
but Sl50000 to be subscribed here and in the
Western cities
Inc enterprise thus far has been under the per.
sonal supervision of the Board of Trade in Boston,
who have now selected responsible and reliable
parties to conduct the affairs of the company, I'm.
til the capital of 100000 is secured no subscrip
uon VIII be binding. 1t is then proposed to build
and equip two frst-elass steamers, adapted chiefly
to the freighting business, with accommodations
Tor twenty to thirty passengers only. The earn
lngs have been cautiously made up from actual
data and it is confidently believed that the result
OF the investment will exceed the estimate herewith
given.
Inc Importance Of this enterprise, in connection
with the great and increasing trade between the
two cities, must present itself foreby to the minds
of every one But there is another and mucb
more urgent light in which it should be regarded
and that is, its necessity to the welfare and nros.
perity of our city. Numerous railroads ALREADY
unite our Western rivers with Atlantic seaports
and divert the products that for years have quietly
fioated down to our doors. They possess but one
sole adyanage-that of rapid and reliable means of
transportation. By this and kindred enterprises
it is in our power to more than regain all that we
have lost and it is to be hoped that the application
to our citizens, now about to be made, viii be
responded to promptly and literally.

men were more used up, we learn, than any two

There are some lively features connected with
this istic meeting. One was the absence Of stakes
to support the ropes. In this emergency, cabs
were backed up in quadranguar position, and the
rope passed around and interlaced in the hind
wheels of the cabs.
Another feature was the attendance of 500 or
1000 laboring gentlemen in blue and red shirts.
