Movements of the Packets—Local River News and Notes. A speial telegram from Washington, published in another column, gives in formation of a rather tlisouraging na ture to the gentlemen who have inter ested themselves in the movement to secure a Congressional appropriation for the permanent improvement of the upper Ohio. Notwithstanding it ap pears that nothing may be expected from the present session of Congress, tho Pittsburg and Wheeling river men hope to interest the members of the Rivers and Harbors Committee to such an extent as to secure their support of such a measure as has been contem plated, if introduced at a more favorable time. Mr. C. R. Hart, representing the local committee, was in Washington last week, returning Saturday. He confer red wit it Capt. Dovener and other mem bers of the River and Harbor tom mittee. relative to the proposed visit.

The committee will leave \sasning ton on the evening of March 12th, com ing to Fairmont over the 13. & (J., thence proceeding over the Pittsburg branch to Morgantown. At this point, the party will board a steamer for Pitts burg, where the distinguished party will be handsomely entertained. On the morning of the 14th the Con gressional party will board the ele gant Cincinnati and Pittsburg packet "Virginia.'' and proceed down the river to this city, arriving on the evening of the same day. Their entertainment here will be tinder the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce, ami will take the form of a banquet at one of the principal hotels. The party will number probably thir ty-five persons, several members being accompanied by their wives or daugh ters. The ladies will also he invited to the banquet. It has been definitely set tled that most of the addresses will he made by the visitors, although the op portunity of enlightening the Congress men upon the condition of affairs in this immediate section will not he lost. Every business man in Wheeling will he invited to attend the banquet, pro vided he is a member of the Chamber of Commerce. However, in order that all may participate, an invitation to join the Chamber is extended. The dues are $10 annually, and names should be sent to Secretary Howard Hazlett.
