The trip of the steamer Vigilant to Port

one to the large crowd on board. There
were between 300 and 400 people on board
about half being ladies. There was some
trouble about securing a pilot, but finally
one was secured. At Venus

some time to get back into the channei.

trip, however, without further accident.

The Junior senator from Massachusetts,
has written these words:. "Wnen 'his

Jefferson Davis stood the test Of true
