The attention of Robert Fulton and his friend, Chancellor Livingston, after their suooess upon the Hudson river, was turned towards the great rivers of the West-the Ohio and Mississippi and in the month of April, 1811, they made an arrangemqpt with Rosavelt, of New York, to visit these rivers and make an exploration of them for the purpose of ascertaining if they admitted of steamboat navigation. Roeavelt surveyed these rivers from Pittebttrg to New Orleans, and his report being favorable, it was decided to build. This was done under the direction of oesavelt, and in the course of the year (1811) the first steamboat was launched on the Ohio. The boat was named the Orleans, and it was conoluded to run her between Natchez and New Orleans. In the month of Ootober she left Pitteburg. No freight or passengers were received. Mr. Iosavele, his wife and family, Mr. Baker en. ginesr, Andrew Jack, pilot, and ten men, with a few domestio animals and fowls, furnished her whole burden. There were no wood yards in those days, and much time was lost in gathering wood. Upon his first voyage, Mr. Rosavelt had dis covered two beds of coal 120 miles below the falls of the Ohio. He took with him on the Orleans implements to work the coal mines, intending to take on enough to last the whole way down. The run from Pltteburg to the Falls was made in 90 hours. The novel appearance of the vessel, and the noise of the escaping steam created a feeling of eurprise and terror among the settlers along the river, many of whom had never heard of such an invention. Some of them in their fright left their houses and took to the woods. The depth of water on the falls not permitting the Orleans to descend, she made two trips be tween Louteville and OlCncinnati. In November the river rose and the voyage was resumed. When they arrived within ive miles of the Yel low Banks they moored opposite the first vein of coal, on the Indiana side. Several days were spent in quarrying and getting aboard enough to last them through. Continuing their monoto nous voyage through the vast solitude, scarcely ever seeing a human being, they reached in a few days the mouth of the Ohio and entered the Mississippi. The weather was oppressively hot, the air misty and still. Though the snu was visi ble like an immense and glowing ball of copper, his rays hardly shed more than a mournful twi light on the surface of the water. The next day was an awful one; a painful silence prevailed; the crew spoke but littto. The signs of some terrible natural convulsion in creased, and added to their alarm and confusion. The pilot affirmed that he was lost, as he found the channel everywhere changed. They con eluded to land, but everywhere they saw the high banks disappear, overwhelming everything in their way. A large island in the middle of the river was Sought; it too had disappeared; they made fast during the night to a small island; around them couldbe heard the roaring of the elements, the failing and crashing of trees and the earth slid ing in vast masses into the river; the shock of the earthquake could be felt aboard and all were in consternation. The next morning they reached New Madrid; here the inhabitants were in great trouble; many had been drowned, many killed by falling timbers or swallowed up in the great chasms rent in the earth, and many had fled to the high grounds for safety. The whole country around was changed and destroyed; large lakes were formed where before was dry land, and desola tion was everywhere to be seen. Capt. Rosavelt, after rendering every assist ance possible, continued the journey through the vast wilderness, and after many perilous days and nights, arrived at Natohez at the close of the last week in January, 1b12, having consumed nearly ninety days in making the voyage. The people of Natchez were utterly astonished at the escape of the boat during this fearful earthquake. Soon was the first trip ever made by any steamboat on the Western waters. The Orleans, shortly af.er her arrival at Nat chez, commenoed making trips between that city and New Orleans.-[Niles' Register. The New Orleans and Red River Transporta tion Company's Bonnie Lee, Noah Soovell master, H. C. Boszman clerk, leaves to.morrow, without fail, at 5 p. m. for Shreveport and Jefferson.
