Business not very active yesterday, and oon
Aned prinoipally to the coast packets.
Weather warm.
The W. J. Behan will be the only departure for
Lied river to-day, the Texas being unable to get
here In time.
Tom Langdon goes on the Behan. Dime
Daniel Divinney waits for the Olarkeville.
£he Yazoo Valley having been relieved by the
Natohez, will lay idle for the present.
At the special request of Oapt. Arthur Com
stook we state that the Blue Wing arrived on
time as usual and that she will wing her way to
Donaldsonville and the Ashland plantation this
10 a. m., promptly.
The price of coal has been advanced from forty
to fify cents per box.
Boustaboute have also demanded and are re
silving an advance of five dollars per month.
The Asl t ha been chartered to the Keokuk
ZNnrhrm~pn

dtedagd out. 4 portion of it will be set aside
There is n dner passenger boat in the lower
-omet trade than the Martha, leaving this p. m.
-he carries the mail, goes through to Port Eade
each trip and on Saturdays makes an excursion
hthugh the jetties out into the Gulf and around
to Southwest Pass. The tip is a pleasant one.
The very light draft steamer Big Sunflower.
urehased expressly for the trade by Capt. Aleok
rousdale, and, as far as the eye can judge,
dmirably adapted for it leaves to-day, posi
tively, at 5 p. m., for the Atchafalas. J.B.
Sohmtt, a clever man, and a very popular clerk,
has charge of the office.
Mr. John Belohard, late the accomplished
clerk of the Billy Collins, was placed in command
of that boat yesterday. We tender our congratu
latione to this promising young captain, with the
hope that the lustre of his guiding star may
never be dimmed.
The Cherokee has laid up at Paduoah.
The Commeroial says that the Cotton Valley
will make a trip to Memphis in place of the Jas.
W. Gaff.
The St. Louis Times calls the New Orleans pa=
perk a s t of croakers. It can't find any croaking
in the columns of the DEMiOORAT.
The attraction of to-day will be the departure
of the Natohes for Vicksburg. Resplendent in
beauty, strong and vigoronu after a summel's
rest, she turns her prow up stream once more to
wards the people and the places that know her
so well, with a future as bright as the past, and
that past a brighter one than has ever fallen to
any other steamboat. Thos. P. Leathers, one of
the most renowned captains of the day, com
anaius.
A letter, dated Madison, August 20, was re
ceived here yesterdky from Mr. Joe Dodd, in
whioh he stated that the bull of the new boat to
replace the Lotus No. 3 would be let in the water
in a week, and that Capt. Geo. W. Rea's new low
water packet Alexandria would be completed and
readv to leave by the 4th of September.
With the very fi ttering prospects of closing
the break in Tone's bayou, and the keeping open
of the channel near the month of Old river,
things look brighter in Bed river. The Bed River
Transportation Company are prepared for the
flood of business that will follow the accomplish
ment of these two. results, and will keep their
promise to the people of the Red river valley, to
give them a better and larger line of transports.
Lien than ever traveled over the waters of old Red
before. Capt. Joe Aiken, the president of this
company, is one of the most energetic boatmen
and o ear-headed business men in this or any
other community. He has got his shoulder to
the wheel, and with him there is no such thing as
stopping. The W. J. Behan, of this line, and
one of the lightest, leaves to-day at 5 p. m., Geo.
Wilkinson in command, Frank.Ames clerk. The
Behan will go through to Shreveport.
The Assumption is out on the Good Intent
Dock.
Not least among the at'ri.tions on the Nacobez
is the saloon of Mr. John Ku;than, where can be
had refreshments for the inner man. In keeping
with everything else about toe boat, the bar is
par excellence, and Mr. Kuethan is a gentleman
.sod a scholar.
KISTORY OF THE ENG(INE.
In connection with the ke' obhe published by
us of theearlier steamboats, it will be well for us
to give a sketch of tie engines used on them.
In 1.806 Bobert Fu ton returned from england, I
where he had been tor the purpose of examining
the different engines then in use, and also trying t
to introduce his steamboat, but without success.
He then interested Mr. Livingston, of New York,
in his plans. They immediately commenced the
building of the first boat, the Clermont, for the
Hudson river. This boat was 100 tone brthen,
130 feet long, 18 feet wide, 7 feet deep. Her en
gine was bult by Bonlton & Watts, on the river
Clyde, Scotland. The engine was a single cylin
der, 24 inches in diameter, 4 feet stroke; boiler
20 feet long, 7 feet deep, 8 feet broad. The
wheel was 15 feet in diameter, 4 foot planks, 2
foot dip, and she ran 3% miles an hour. The
engine was low-pressure with condenser, walk
ing-beam and fly-wheel. His second boat, the
Orleans, had a low-pressure engine, by the same
makers. Bhe was a stern-wheel boat, the power
to the wheel was applied by a fly-wheel attached
to the walking-beam.
THE FIBBST HIGH PESSURE ENGINE.
O. Evans, of Philadelphia, was the inventor of
the first high pressure engine. He made the first
practical experiment in 1806. It was done by
applying the engine to a dredging machine, built
on wneels, driving it upon land, and afterwards
upon the water.--lmerican Cyolopdtra.
The Trenton leaves for the Atchafalaya to-day
at 5 p. m., without tail.
The Blue Wing No. 3, J. a. Comstock master,
Messrs. Wood and Dean clerks, leaves to-day at
10 a. m. for Donaldsonville and the Ashland plan
tation.
The lower coast United State mail and pas
setnger steamner Martha, W. e. Bassett mIeter,
Messets. Legier and Barrois clerks, will leave to
day at 5 p. m. for Port Eads.
The Big Sunflower, Aleck Trosedale master, J.
B. cohmit clerk, leaves to-day at 5 p. m. for
the Atohafalaya, through to Washington.
The semi-weekly coast and Bayou Lafourche
. packet Ella Hughes, Joe Dalferes master, leaves
to-day at 5 p. m. Capt. Dalferes has made ar
rangements for reehipping by fiate from the
mouth; shippers can depend on their freight
going through without delay.
The Trenton, J. L. Robbins master, Gabe
Block clerk, leaves to-morrow at 5 p. m., posi
tively, for the Atchafalaya, through to Washing
ton.

St. Louis Trioie, August z2:
The weather yesterday was'cloudy with an oc
casional shower, which sor~ewhat Interfered with
shioments in the afternoon. The Centennial,
however, receivcd liberally and clears from the
Pool Line wharf-boat this evening posittvely.
Calhoun's commodious Glencoe follows Satur
day. Agent John W. Carroll has a portion of
the Glencoes' cargo already engaged.
Business is all that could be expected at this
season of the year, and should there be water
to move the immense crops on this fall, a
prosperous season for boatmen may be anticipa
ted. The Ohio is down so low that the lightest
draft boats find it both difficult and unprofitable
for navigation. As far as known there will be no
steamer leaving for Cincinnati this week. The
lae arrivals tri m below report only 6% feet
water oat to Cairo, and no boats in trouble. To
Eigehk there is S% feet, with 6 inthes less be
