seehded the river several miles further,
then turned round aud eommeneed our re-
turn. II was anticipated by some Of tho
passengers, ourself among tho number
that We would have another two hours
work TO perform when We reached the ran
again, for, as We lefi II going down II
closed up amer US, aud seemed almost rs
impehetralle as ever But Capt. MeGaEyey
assured US Il would not take him al,eon
minutes 10 go through II coming upstream,
aad, sure enough, In much less lime tie
boat worked through, and We were again
above tho impeachment. We then steamed
up TO the Dallas landing, having been alb
sent about Eve hours.
We were assured by Capt. MeGarvcy, as
well as by those who Lad descended the
river before as low as Mouth OF East Fork,
that the portion of the river over which
we passed on Tuesday is about the worst
partof ii, with the exception, perhaps, Of

McGarvcy's Pass, where heavier work will ]
have to be DONE We found water sufficient,
even at this low stage and width Of river
enough to run boat as large as tho j. ii.
Whitelaw, If the trees along the banks
were cleared away. At no place, as wo
have said before did we find less than FIVE
feet water, and this was at the old ford,
some two miles below town. An old steam
boatman on board, one of our oldest ci.i-
zcns, who has had much experience in the
work of clearing out rivers in the older
States, told us that from what he saw he
could think of no difficulty, in making the
Trinity to this point navigablc stream
for good-sized boats whenever boat could
get TO MagnolIn. IN IuUt IL IL much bel
ter river than the lower river. II is straight,
and can be made navigable with but little
trouble or expense. This is the universal
judgment of every one who has been down
the river, and we have no hesitation in
it correct.
al in raO I'd n Canfoin
McGarvey and his little Job Boat No. l.
He arrived here on the 9th of May last,
fully demonstrating the practicability of
navigating the river lie thinks with the
sum of $1,000 the river can be made navi-
gable for boats 10 Dallas whenever boats
can reach Magnolia. He has remained
here now four months at heavy expense
10 himself, and no income, endeavoring to
induce those most interested to take hold
Of and do the work. We're he able TO furn-
ssh the means himself, he would not have
asked any one else, as he knows he could
not invest that amount of money more
Droftably in any other way. He is not
oeggar by any means, though like many
,ther practical and laboring men, he is not
Itch, in money; he has only asked aid on
he principle of the old maxim that "Favors
ire reciprocal people by aiding him
little would have aided themselves much.
Capt. MoGarvey, with his boat, will leave
Dallas next Monday to remain absent in
.. 4 /
lfter, in the nayigable season, ply regularly
,etwcen Mouth Of East Fork and Magnolia.
We bid Capt. McGarvey adieu with the
ysh that he may yet receive encourage
ncnt, such as his energy merits.
