A New Steamer for the ChattahOO.


We find in the Columbus Enquirer-.Sun the
following description of a new steamer now
building for the Chattahoochee river trade:
The Peoples Line is evidently on a boom
Capt. T. H. Moore, the general manager and
moving spirit in the company, returned from
New York last night, and knowing that the trip
meant business, the Enquirer Sun hunted him up
TO learn =" why this was thus" lie has not only
been to New York but to Pittsburg and other
places, and in few months he will command
the finest steamer that ever touched the waters
of the Chattahoochee. He made contract with
the large ship-building establishment of Jasmes
Reese, at Pittsburg, to build the boat at cost of
$50 500, and to have II completed by The 1st of
October. He also contracted to have il furnished
and fitted up for $500, which will make it, when
ready for use cost the snug little sum of $40 600
The new boat will be steel hull, 1855 feet long
and 81 feet in the beam. The hold will be l-2
feet In the clear and 1-2 feet shear She will
have fore -and-aft and cross bulk heads, and
will draw twenty inches of water, light. The
The cabin will accommodate so passengers, and
she is also to have texas, which will accommo-
date IL coOred passengers. The accOmmoda-
lions for the officers and crew are not included
in the above The work is to be done in the
best style known to shipbuiders, and Captain
Moore has the privilege of comparing her with
any of the steamers on the Ohio river before
he brings her out. This elegant new steamer
Will ecnpse anything ever seen on the Chaita
hoochee, and will be a monument to the enter
prise and indefatigable energy of the plucky
Captain. Not only will it be a fine boat, but II
will be fast one, and will make from ten to
twelve miles an hour in slack water. The
steamer g. Gunby Jordan has recently been
Overhauled from stem TO stern, and she now looks
like q bran new boat and fully if not more hand
some than size did when she first landed at the
wharf with such a grand flourish. Capt. Moore
not being satisfied with the steamer as it is,
brought with him from New York an electric
light machine, which he will have placed on the
Jordan at once. 1t will consist of FIVE lights,
two forward, two amidship and one in the centre
of The cabin, and then the ." chickens along the
river will come down from their roosts" sure
enough. The Jordan will make her first trip
since being made new boat on the 18th inst,
at which time she goes to Apalachicola, and will
take in all intermediate landings. Evidently The
Peoples Line is on a BOOM

The real estate belonging to the estate of David
c. Wilson, which was advertised for sale for d.
vision, was sold on Monday and Tuesday of last
week, and brought, with perhaps but one excep-
ton, full prices. A large number of the capital
lists of our city were present at the sale, and some
lively bidding took place. Mr.. W. r. Wilson
purchased all the real estate Except the home
steadl consisting of the stores on Monroe street,
lots adjoining the same and fronting on Adams
street, the small farm near the city, and the three
separate FARMS lying in the southern portion OF
the county These purchases by Mr. Wilson
demonstrate beyond question his confidence in
the future Of this section. Two years ago he
purchased one of the largest and most valuable
plantations in the county, and within the same
period has erected the handsomest and most
costly residence in the city.
