The New steamer.

Inc new StcdbuNts
On Thursday Of last week, the 18Th insto thee
necessary papers wero ihled in the olhee q the
Secretary of State at Columbus, and -thereupon
issued the charter for the " Maumee Riyer~Navi-
cation Company" an association ofciiizcns OF thls
place and Maumee formed under the statute OF
1859, authorizing the formation Of companies for
carrying freight on the navigable waters Of the
State OF Ohio and the lakes and rivers bordering
thereon. The charter has been shown us by Cap
tain Locks, who informs us that the books are
opened To receive subscriptions of stock. The
capital stock authorized by tts chatter IS fifteen
Thousand dollars, in one hundred and fifty shares
of$lO0 each. The charter members are Captain b.
c. LOCKE, DR., ID. PEcx, Maj. WIN. II. JoSEs, Hon,
AsHER Cook. and A. G. WILLIAMS, ESQ.,, of Per-
rysburg, and GEO. w. REYNOLDS, Esq of Matinee.
These are all substantial men, having the means
aud energy necessary to carry through with
promptness aud success the enterprise they have
begun. Tie principal office of the company will
be at Perrysburg. -
The building of the proposed steamer will be
commenced at the earliest practicable day, as it is
proposed to have the sam, completed for running
in July next. The design is to build regular
river boat-something after the fashion of an Ohio
river boat--that will not draw, when loaded, to
exceed twenty inches, and that can run to the
Maumee bridge in all ordinary stages of water
The keel will be ninety.fve feet, with twenty feel
beam.
In speaking of this enterprise, the Toledo B'ad'
says:
1t will probably not be amiss to suggest to the
business men of Toledo, who are necessarily in
terested more or less in the traffic with the up
towns, that their cooperation with the charter
members of this Company i' .ery desirable. Each
and every additional channel of communication
opened and maintained between this city aud sur
rounding points, is Of decided and material ad
vantage TO our business The proposed new
boat will prove a great accommodation to eui
neighbors al Perrysburg and Maumee-in fact a
boat is an established need to those paces-whilt
1t will, as certainly, benefit the trade Of Toledo
We really feel that this enterprise can mol b'
too highly commended to the favor u our citizens
We have every confidence iu the success of tn
enterprise. The charter members are we'll ae'
favorably known here, as men Of business tact ant
energy, and the experience and success of Captain
LOCKS, as a navigator, is too well known to requir
commendation from US.

The Lower Mississippi is at very high stage,
and sweeping all before Il. The ievee twelve
miles below Memphis gave way last Thursday,
flooding several plantations. Cattle are being
drowned in every direction, and houses and ware,
houses are submerRed. The Mississippi and st.
Francis rivers extend over the low lands from
above Helena down to Lake Providsuce. The
waters are running through the lower part Of
Helena with great violence, and the ctzeus Of
that place were forced TO seek safety on the wharf
boats, fiat boats and crafts Of ever description. It
is painful to witness the destruction caused by the
great overflow. From Columbus down b the
Balize, the wild waste Of waters has visible
boundaries. The plantations are submerged, with
the houses and stuck surrounded By water, and in
danger Of being washed away. The plantations
bet ween Memphis aud Yioksburg are nearly all
oVerAowed. The Vicksburg packet Dan Able
was compelled to put her freight out in small boats.
At some places the river is from ten To fifteen miles
wide, aud, we fear, will terminate in much loss Of

AT NEW ALBANY.

From the New Albany Commercial, l2th.l
the country from here to the mouth Of the
Ohio, has been flooded for about four weeks, and
the people need not EXPECT relief for two or three
weeks to come. With the river 50 high, so many
houses nearly half covered, corrscrbs, barns, sta
bles and fences deep in the water, heavy wind
at this time would do vast amount Of damage,
setting nearly everything the low grounds adrift.

frequently sent ashore in the yawl. Sometimes,
with great hazard, skifs go from the shore to the
mail boats.
