Passing on to Henderson, and returning,

'''.'' The large and elegant steamer Chan
ceLlor passed down the river heavily laden.
- In our yesterdays paper we stated
that the ID. b. Campbell would be the
only boat going up Green river on that day.
In this we were wrong, as both the Green
UiLke and the Lue EI0es left on their way
up yesterday. We made the mistake
through inadvertence.
SMUGGLERs FoILED.-Last Friday an ap-
plication was made to the clerk of the j. g.
Fremont lying at Cincinnati, for the ship
ment of some kegs of gunpowder to Arkan-
sas, which were refused on the ground that
the boat had no licensee to carry such dam
gerou3 articles of merchandise. A short
time after an attempt was made to smuggle
the gunpowder on board enclosed in pack
ages marked "hardWare,' but the clerk sus-
pecting that all was not right caused the
packages TO be opened, when the fraud was
discovered. Subsequently Mr.. Terrence, OF
she boat, swOre out IL warrant for the arrest
of the parties concerned in the transaction,
aud two persons connected with the estab-
lshmeut fromw hich the gunpowder was sent,
together with two draymen in their employ
were taken into custody and held to bail by
the U. S. Commissioner, in the sum of 81 )
GOO each for their appearance at a futuCa
day.
The act of smuggling gunpogGRr OF
board IA passenger boat is Justly made
criminal offense by the steamboat law of An
gust 30tb, 1850; and she prompt action o
the officers of the boat in this case is deserv-
ing Of comraepdation, as it will doubles;
acs as a sanitary check upon others who
might attempt thus to endanger the lives OF
their fellow-mcn. \ fearful accident may
have been prevented by the timely canton
of the clerk of the Fremont.
