THE NEW FERRY BOAT.

The Isaac Bowman, the ferry-boat pur-
chased at Louisville for the use of the Cres-
cent Ferry Company, arrived at New Or
leans on Friday morning at half-past eleven
o'clock, under command Of Captain "A. ?. ii.
Stewart, who purchased the vessel at Louis
vile for the company.
This is the largest ferry boat that ever
piled in this neighbo1hood, being nearly
double the size of either the Louise, the
Campbell or the Minnow.
Her immense size is necessary for the
business in which this boat is about 10 en-
gage, namely, to transport the numerous
butcher carts that daily and nightly cross
the river from the Crescent Slaughterhouse
COmpanys premises. In addition to her
large capacity for carrying teams, she is
finely fitted up as passenger boat, having,
besides summer accommodation, close
cabin for winter.
The Isaac Bowman Is not an entirely new
boat, but she has lately been overhauled,
repaired and reftted in the most substan-
tai manner. Besides, she is built with
such extra strength that she will remain in
perfect order longer than the generality OF
boats ANY Judge of these matters will be-
come convinced of this ON even a slight
examination. Her length is one hundred
and fifty feet six inches, breadth of beam
thirty-nine feet, breadth over guards fifty
seven feet and five and a half feet depth of
hold. A large portion OF her deck is ar
ranged to convey vehicles; and she has the
capacity to carry not less than siXty-five
carts, her upper deck being appropriated to
passengers. Her machinery is Of the strong.
est and best description; she has three boilers,
each twenty feet long and forty inches Ill d.
ameter. Her cylinders are twenty inches
in diameter, having six feet stroke, and are
made of the best Tennessee iron. They
were put in above two years ago She IS
capable of steam pressure Of one hun
dred and ninety pounds to the square inch,
and is allowed by law to carry one hundred
and twenty-five pounds. She has two
large water wheels Enclosed amidships) OF
some twenty-five feet diameter.
The Isaac Bowman was purchased from
the Louisville and Jettersonville Ferry
Company by Captain Stuart, who went up
the river commissioned by the Crescent
Ferry Company for the purpose. The price
| paid was sixteen thousand dollars.
This is certainly cheap for boat Of her
power and dimensions. Captain Stewart
| has obtained great credit for the Judgment
and ability he displayed in securing this
fine boat for New Orleans. As a sample OF
| her running capacity. we may state that on
| Friday morning on her way down, she made
the last siXty-tive miles in four hours and a
| half. making no particular effort.
The Isaac Bowman will run from the
| landing place of the Crescent City Slaugh
| terhouse to the Second District Ferry land
ing. She will run day and night. and vii
| add one more TO our increasing facilities fol
communication between both sides OF the
river, all the more important. both for New
Orleans and Algiers, now that these twt
| are made one,

SLAVERY IN LOUISIANA.
Rescue of Three Children.

Rescue OF Three Chldfen'
We copy the following from the Baton
Rouge Courier:
On Tuesday last colored woman, by the
name of Lydia Ann Williams. appeared De
missioner, in this city, and made ahdaVlt
that her three children were being held IN
state of bondage and slavery by Mrs. Nancy
Foreman. widow of John Foreman, lately
deceased, residing near Bayou Manchac, IN
this parish. A warrant was placed III the
hands Of Il Deputy United States Marshal,
and on Thursday morning the children;
aged respectively fourteen, twelve and
eight years, were brought before the Com
missioner and examined. The facts elected
proved that they had been kept under
"a close surveillance, and not allowed
to leave the yard of the premises on pam OF
severe punishment, or to speak to or other
wise communicate with people from other
plantations that their treatment had been
extremely cruel and oppressive, and that
they were SO completely intimidated that
thew did not dare to make any effort to es-
cape One of the children, a boy twelve
years of age, was hired to a neighbor Tor
fifty dollars a year, and when found was
blowing in the field in a state OF perfect
nudity. 1t appears that these people were
in the habit of cruelty beating the children
almost daily. One girl, fourteen years OF
age. had been severely beaten the same
morning on which the arrest was made py
the Marshal. The children were handed
over to the custody of their mother, and IN
formed that they were as free as other chill
dren.

How LAWS ARE EvADED.-All the Pacific
Railroad companies that have received sub
sides from Congress have had it stip-
ulated in their charters that they must use
American iron in the construction of their
roads. They have managed, however, to
evade it by using what is known as scrap
iron, imported from England. General
Cameron, in submitting an amendment to
prevent this evasion, made the following
statement:
| submitted the amendment first to the
chairman of the committee, and he APP
proved it. l wish simply to state the reason
for it. In the original charter there was
clause that the rails should be laid of Amer
lean iron, but that was evaded in this way:
Bad rails were broken up in England and
shipped to this country, and re-rolled at 4
small expense, and that is the cause of the
difficulties we have had on the Pacific Rail
road. Bad iron has been brought OH here.
at a low price, fraudulently and against the
manufacturers of this country. All desire
is that the road shall be made of American
rails, and those rails to be made out of the
ores of the country. | cannot see how any
body who desires the prosperity of his own
country can object to it.

The Supplement Week.

This has been a week of Supplements
Every country paper. almost, of the copper
persuasion in the State has had its supple
ment Of the laws passed by the last Legis
lature. This Supplement" contains moth
ing but the laws and is no supplement at
all, in the sense which the Post Office laws
define. and is altogether illegal, submitting
the publishers to heavy fines, if the matter
is reported to the Department by the p.
MS, through whose offices they pass. The
business is managed in this way. The laws
are put in print by an office in Annapolis,
and the head is changed to correspond with
the name Of the paper they are issued for,
with supplement added, and the town of
publication, and the number of copies
struck off which is ordered, and sent by
express to the newspaper Office they are
designed to supplement, and then folded
into the edition of the paper. No such
supplement is allowed to be mailed,
under the Newspaper laws, by the Govern
ment.
The whole business is scheme to fee
partisan papers out of the State Treasury,
and is not the value of button to the gen
eral public, who seldom read any of the
laws thus published. Only those laws are
so published which take effect from the date
of their passage. Laws going into effect
on the first of June following their passage
the time prescribed by the Constitution,
are not SO published. The object of the
law, originally. seems to have been to lay
before the public, laws taking effect from
the date Of their passage, and before they
could be printed in book form, by publish
ing them in the newspapers. 1t altogether
fails of this object, for the Acts are not
sent out till after the Legislature adjourns,
and frequently they are issued in book
form before they can be published in the
country papers. The only object gained is
the bleeding of the State Treasury to the
tune of thirty-iive thousand dollars CT
more, which goes into the pockets of the
men who do valliantly for the dead cause
of Democracy. The system is, in brief, a
useless expenditure of the public money to
pay partisan newspaper publishers, as every
one of them who receive this bonus will
admit. The whole expenditure is not the
value of a button to the general public.

The Cause Revealed.

To all who have been i'll the habit Of
glancing over The Democrat for the past
two or three years, it has been query what
has been the secret instigation of so much
petty malice, from that organ, against the
Postmaster General. Not reader, let him
be of what party he might, but has said,
where is the use of repeating the same old
story of Mr. Creswell's being the author of
a certain secession resolution passed by
Democratic meeting, assembled at the
Court House, before the outbreak of the
rebelisn9 If the story is true, we are al
ready in possession of the fact. No further
evidence is adduccd by The Democrat moth
ing but repetition which has grown stale.
And if it is not SO, this naked repetition
will not serve to make true what is false
In the last number of that matchless organ
-veracity being left out-the acknowledge
ment is made, that the well-abused Post
master General, opposed the aforesaid well
beloved Democratic resolution, but follow
ing Immediately this admission, the silly
charge is repeated as idiotically as ever
Like all others, we have been at a loss to
account for such remarkable simplicity,
but the secret has at last come to Light
In the Fall of 1867, the Republican party
held Mass Meeting at Elkton, and on that
occasion Mr.. Creswell made a speech in
which he alluded to the secession party,
and its savage virulence in attacking him ;
but, said the speaker, in those bold sono-
rous tones which carry in them defiance
not to be mistaken, 81 DEFY THE WHOLE
REBEL PACK-FRoM JEFF DAVIS DOWN TO
THE PUPPY THAT KENNELS IN THE
OFFICE OF THE CECIL DEMOCRAT"
Here, then, is the solution the problem, the
source whence sprang allthe spleenwhich has
dubbed over in froth and dirty foam from
The Democrat cauldron since that time !;
which has disguised, by its iHsipid flat
ness, without party distinction, every
reader. "The puppy that kennels in the
office of The Cecil Democrat" This is the
diagnosis of the disease. The same insig-
nificant yelp has been ascending from that
:: Kennel ever since, which, when we
consider the infinite distance that separates
the barked at from the barker, it bears a
very close analogy to Towser's nightly bay
ing the moon.
| In future, when brother Democrats hear
that familiar howl of rage and pain ascend
ing from the {" kennel" they will know
whence winged the barbed arrow, which
rankles to this day in the cureless wound.
