The Buckeye State, in May, 1850, car
ried the " twenty-foUr hour pOle,}' TWEEN
ty.fOur hours from Cincinnati to about
half a mile above Parkersburg, about
twenty-fOur miles above where the Teie-
graph No. ? left it, in 1S4S, near Dewitt's
creek. This was about two hundred and
eighty-six miles from Cincinnati. In
1853, the David White twice., the
Thomas Swan and the Alvin Adams, OF
the Wheeling "Union line" attempted
to carry the pole higher up the river, but
they all failed to do it, aud the twenty
four hour distance Of the Buckeye State,
above Cincinnati, has never been beaten,
and probably never viii be, a steam
boats on the Ohio are net now built so
much for speed as for the additional ad
vantage Of carrying a paying quantity of
freight.
The United States inspectors have been
at Hampton for several days, taking tes-
timoDy IN regard to the explosion Of the

siderable number Of experienced engi-
neeTs have examined the wreck aud
given their testimOny-and others are
vet to be examined. Each engineer after
examining the wreck is taken before the
inspectors, who take his testimony phi
vately-nO two engineers knowing any
thug about the testimony of each other.
The st. Louis Democrat OF Friday, |
says There is a pretty high river here
now. The rise continued steady yester-
day, and the total swell of the past few
days amounts to six feet, giving about
twenty-five feet ia the channel to Cairo.
There is q fine stage Of water all over
the northern streams. There Is no talk,
and will not be for an indefinite period,
of laying up large boats for smaller boats
to take their places. We think the June
rise viii be here in about three weeks,
and will give US a higher river by six or
eight feet than we have now.
