E~1ercial says that there are still small guam
titles of ice to be seen on the south shore,
near this port, but unless the Indians of
Lake Superior turn that largest OF fresh
waters over, and drown the world, naviga-
tors need not fear that the portof Buffalo is
not squarely and fairly open for the season
Of 1866.

lowing record of disasters:

light, run hard aground on the Flats yes
te'day.
The tug Mayfower, in attempting to
cross the Flats Tuesdsy night, got hard

To MASTERS OF VEssELS.-The following
extracts from letters from the Commissioner
of Customs are of importance to Masters of
vessels:
"Iam informed that masters of vessels
and steamers are not always required to
sign manifesto of their cargoes on the North
eru lakes and rivers. If such is the case it
is wrong. Maniiests should not only in all
cases be signed, but they should be so sign
ed that nothing can after wards be inserted
above the name. Of the master. Otherwise
fraud can easily be practiced.
"If the name of the master is signed so
far below the list Of goods, etc, on board as
to leave room for other goods to be inserted,
he blank space must be crossed by lines
with q pen down to the nameof the master.
at is claimed that long usage t~olerates
these defective manifests. No such usage
has been sanctioned by this department,
and if it prevails on the frontiers, it has
grown up through the lax administration OF
the law by Collectors. 1t is necessary that
ali the forms of law should be complied
wish, and omissions and e~vasions in this
regard will no longer be tolerated.
"If the msnifests are not made out in
conformity to law Collectors must refuse to
grant a permit to land the cargo"
Vessel owners are liable TO a fine of TWEEN
ty dollars for any neglect on the part of
masters for having imperfect manifests and
vessels may be summarily libelIed.
PROPELLER sUS.-The Buffalo Commercial
says that this popular propeller, "under COM
mlnd of Capt. Jones, is loading at the foot
Of Main street, and viii make quick dis
patch on the evening of Saturday. The
Sun has been repaired, reftted, and in all
respects is a first class vessel. Success to
Capt. Jones"
SOUTHERN RAILRoAD.-The Cincinnati
Gazette has a letter in regard to the newly
projected Southern Railroad, which is to
unite Cincinnati with East Tennessee by a
direct route across Kentucky. The follow
ing extract states the difficulties and OBJ
jects of the projected road;
Tho railroad companies whose lines ter
inmate here believe that, with their connec-
tons they will contribute S450,00O, payable
in 20 per cent. Of the gross earnings from
business derived from the said Southern
Railroad; and the citizens have subscribed
about Sis, coo, payable when the road Is
completed, in all amounting to but 1928, coo. |
As to the value of this species of assistance |
il is unnecessary to remark. All can COM
prehend it. In making the apportionment,
one million of dollars from north of the /
Ohio river, and q like amount from South of
the Ohio river, was deemed indispensable, |
and this independent of what assistance the
now existing railroads in Kentucky might
1t is intended to have but one road, and
administration, from this city TO South I
ern connection in the State of Tennessee.
Any policy other than this would meet with
defeat. 1t then remains for the
kentucky roads either to sell out, join in the
enterprise, or refuse to do either, and
should the companies owning these roads
ask such unreasonable conditions as would
prevent the prosecution Of the work, the
City of Cincinnati and other interested par
will resort to such measures as the
aud necessities of the case demand.
The Kentucky roads above referred to have,
their representatives, manifested at
all times q hearty concurrence in this
project. and viii render such efficient aid
as will satisfy its NEST earnest advocates

of two millions of dollars IS the
smallest amount which it is believed will
induce capitalists IN undertake the work.
all which the roads now built, and the
l~ncompleted portions Of the line contain,
are not sufficient for the purposes intended 1.
This fact Is well known to the citizens of
Cincinnati; they are aware it has been
attempted for many years, and with IN
Savering failure, and it 5 certain this road
viii not be built, unless such reasonable
outside help as is now asked is given. It IS
,ver 800 miles long, and through a difficult Z
for railroad construction.
This city has no road of 100 miles in e;
