WoxDERFuL FEAT IN NAVIGATION
A THRILLING INCIDENT OF THE Re-
CENT FLooD.-0n Tuesday last, the
Sd inst, the waters had inundated
the lower part of our town. The
steamer John W. Morgan, was lying
at the wharf, and Mr.. c. T. Latham,
q well known pilot on the kanawha
and the Ohio, and 3. T. Butler and
L. VI. Rhoadcs, Of the wharf-Doat,
conceived thei that it would be
novel undertaking to pilot that
steamer up The tortuous and murky
stream OF Crooked Creek. No sooner
was the idea conceived and planned,
than it was placed in execution
Procuring the use Of the boat, the
Cornstalk Band kindly prOfiercd their
services. Tie gallant craft, with
Charley Latham at the wheel, walk
ed the waste Of water like thing o:
life, and rounded to near the store Of
Mr.. EnoS Smith, with her bow rest
ing on Main street. The novel sight
attracted 4 large crowd Of citizens Of
all kinds. from the friSk@y maiden to
the lisping, prattling baby. The
boat remained moorcd to the street,
until quite a large number Of persons
got aboard, eager for the trip. With
the Band discussing sweet music,
Charley rang the backing bell, and
the gallant little steamer was soon
blowing its way through the garden
Of T. \. Guthrie, Esq, in order to get
to the channel of TIE creek. Reach
ing that place, they steamed rapidly
up to the residence of Mr.. James
Capehart, where they received ahail,
which the gallant Charley responded
to, and took aboard Miss Alice Cape
hart and Miss Sadie Couch. The
staunch craft under the skilful gui-
dance of its accomplished pilot, pro-
cecdcd as far as the Fair Grounds,
some two and 4 half miles (by the
creek from town. Thercturn Of the
boat attracted a large crowd of peo-
pie, who went frantic, almost, with
cheering and waving OF handkcr-
chiefs. As we stated in the outset,
this is feat in navigation, that was
never before performed, and little did
the immortal Cornstalk think, as he
stood upon the summit Of the hills
that darkcned and ovcrshadowcd the
stream, upon the banks Of which, he
led his gallant cohorts against the
pale faces, that their descendants
would pilot the fre-canoe UP its me-
anderings and tortuous course. Cen
crations agodoubtless, upon the banks
Of this stream, the warrior wocd his
dusky mate, and the rank thistle
nodded in the wind" and the silent
running OF the water winding its
way to the sea, gave no hope that
steamers would ever pillow its course
through its bed. Little did those
gallant heroes under command of
Genera! Lewis, who barred their
breasts TO the deadly arrows Of the
Indians, on the morning of that
memorable day, the 10th OF October,
LIS, think that the stream which
was crimsoned with their blood on
that day, would be disturbed by the
shrill whistle OF the steamboat. The
brave and fearless pilot landed his
craft safely at town, and safely land.
cd his cargo OF live and precious
gh:,consisting fbright-eyed beau
ty and gallant swain, long to realize
the fact tina: they had taken the first
trip ona steamboat up Crooked Creek.
