are now running between this city and
Cincinnati is the Dean Line, which is
composed Of 6rst-class steamers, manned
by efficient officers, and running under
rules and regulations that are calculated
to look after the safety and comfort of
passengers. This line is celebrated for
their fine steamers, and the new packet
Clifton may well be called the best Of
them all. She is a superior boat in
every respect, and travellers who have
patronized her speak in the highest terms
of her accommodations and the gentle
manly department of her officers, at the
head of whom, the noblest Roman of
them all, stands Capt Frank Stein,
whose name is well known to all who
have travelled on the clear waters Of the
Ohio, and who has the reputation Of
being one of the best commanders afoat
At her desk will be found Mr.. L, J. Jenk-
ms, an accomplished gentleman, in

their reward in the high estimation in
which he is held by all who know him.

The Kate Hart, while loading at Pekin
few days since, was caught by sud
den and severe squall, and lost her
chimneys.
The Albert Pearce, the famous White
river packet, has laid up to be thoroughly
overhauled and reftted, preparatory to
the fall compaign.
Tonnage for the lower Missouri is be-
ginning to get scarce, owing to so many
of the packets having gone to the noun
tains. Freights, in consequence, are
more plentiful for the boats that are left
in the trade.
The st. Louis Republican, of yester-
day, says: Business opened yesterday
with a very fair show of activity.
At this point the Mississippi is about
stationary. All of the upper streams are
falling except the Missouri, which con-
tinues to rise under the influence of the
annual June rise

Bend, Arkansas river, has been raised
and on her way up the Arkansas, to
Fort Smith She will be docked on her

clear yesterday, with delightful breeze
all day. At Pttsburg, last night, the
river was rising, with seventy inches in
the channel. Here it receded seven inches
during the twenty-four hours ending last
night. with seven feet on the shoalest
bars hence to Louisville. There is six

The HIGHWAY RoBBERs.-From tim

The HIGHWAY ROBBERS. time
to time we have published various &C.
counts of the depredations Of a gang or
gangs of robbers who infest the various
roads around our city, the most recent
case being the robberies committed by
them on the State Line road. which were
published in yesterday issue. They are
well ergsnized, armed and mounted, and
appear to operate with impunity, as if
there was no fear of capture. This state
of affairs has existed for about year,
and it is time that stop was quito it
by our county officials, who draw big sa-
laries for looking after the interests of
the people. Nearly all our citizens, espe-
cially those who have been the victims
of these highwaymen, have been disfran-
chised and deprived of nearly every free
mans privilege, but they are allowed to
live, work for livelihood, and pay taxes
pretty heavy ones, too AS they pay
taxes they have right to demand, and
should receive, protection of person and
property from the officers of the law,
and we hope the Sheriff and other Off
Gals win arouse themselves from their
letbargic condition in this matter, and
use all the power given them by the laws
of the State for the purpose of Kidding
the county of these villains 81,
