Steamboat -on the Mahoning Hirer*
Tho Mahoning Erjwfcr giro's the following
account uf a steamboat which has been com*
plated at Toungstcwn, Ohio: .
• “On Friday, at 4~o’clock,p. m.,the staunch.
- new steamer, “Warren Packard,” 'James
Doud, Captain, cast looso from her moorings
at the railroad bridge, and steamed bravely
up tho stream for tho Upper Mills' landiog.
Her manifest showed a cargo of mie hundred
and .fifty barrels of Mecca oil, and her regi*.
ter revealed the fact that one hundred and
forty-five passengers had' embraced this first
opportunity for a steamboat ride on the Ma
honing. “The shrill scream of the whistle, and
the report of a cannou from her bow, notified'
the citizens that the craft was in motion, and
. the people fiockod in crowd* to feast their op
tics on such a novelty. Tho trip was success
. jful and satisfactory.
' The boat was built by Messrs. Hull and
' Reed, machinists, and Mr. Morgan Oaskill,
originally designed for the navigation of
. 4reeu river, Owing to troubles in
. Secetsia,'its designation was changed and it
will now probably be employed in the trans
portation.of oilon the Allegheny river, from
the oil regions to Pittsburgh.
The boat is a stern wheel—7o feat by 14 in
width—draws 7 inches of water, and only 1C
when loaded to its greatest capacity. “It is
famished with a email engine, of about forty
horse power. Mr. Reed has fitted to il a
whbel of a new description, for which he has
recently obtained a patent. The paddles of
the wheel are ,so arranged as to* strike the_wa :
' ter vertically, and to always maintain that
.position, by which method there is supposed
to be a saving of one-half the power, and the
tame number of revolutions of this wheel will
drive the boat twiee the~distance made by the
'mmon wheel. The wheel was removed from
boat to obtain passage through the locks,
cn sL'* ur( * a y the boat left by
canal on*:• e * ,ndft J r for Pittsburgh.” ,

Letter from Kentucky.
"j C/rrtsportdrtce of tbePfttsburgh Gazette. ’•
! Can* Keglet, Hardin Co., Ej.,)
i Monday, Dec. 2,1801. j
| Yoil will see by the bending of this that we
1 have changed grounds once more. 'Oar flitting j
j was not altugether unexpected. Gen. Rous
‘ aeau’s brigade had shifted tbeir quarters on
j the 24th ult., and as wo watched them strik*
i ing tents, and listened to their hearty cheers,
| we said to ourselves, "It will be our turn
. next." We received orders to prepare for
| marching- early on Tuesday morning, (the
I 26thj) when all hands bustled about lively;
.. knapsacks were packed, provisions'stowud
1 away, tents struck, and in a very short space
of time we were in line waiting forTEe word to
- move. 'Your humble servant had charge of
tho company's baggage, or, in
he brought up tho rear, in company with a
! number of others: and tho Scenes he witnessed
• in that iittlo journey of threo miles will not
soon bo forgotten. You must be told that
. our Kentucky roads are worse than rough;
that although, we have very few hills, -never*
tholcss the roads can claim very large !“bol
! lows that mules, although immense on &
| Qcady, dead-pull, are just a trifle obstinate
aud "baulky. Putting all these together you
may possibly obtain some idea of our progress.
Xulin wan a trial in itself. The banks of
the stream were steep and slippery. Tho
i teams would get half-way up tho bank, "halt,
; j wriggle a few moments, and back down into
| the water again. One poor, teamster, in the
j attempt to whip fonr horses up, was thrown
< over the head of his horse into tho w&tor,
1 wiiereho floundered about to the great amueo
’ I mentof the lookers-on—the horsus, meantimo,
. | stiindlng perfectly still, and apjuruntly inno
cent of malice. A little further on, and
1 ! scarcely twonty feet from thu edge of the
1 | water, anothor wagon,-freighted with precious
. | freight, to judge from the looks of tho driver,
aWayed gently to one sido'end sank down
| gracefully in a bed of mud. There were haps
( and mishaps; good nature laughing - out
roundly, and ill nature grinding its teeth.
Whether it was owing to good nature, good
management, "good luck" or good mules, I
cannot suy, but our team made out finely, and
we bad tho satisfaction of ruuning up in our
[ new camp io perfect onlei.
We'are new a Tittle south of Nolin. We
have bad three very wet days, which has ren
dered the ground unfit for driiliug, or, in fact,
walking over.' This morning the ground is
. covered with suuw, the air is keen, und judg
ing from appearance we will be compelled to
keep our overcoats at hand hereafter.
The goneral health of the regiments forming
the brigade is good. Notwithstanding the
ugly weather, the ratio of hick is only about
three ptr cent. Indeed, I was informed tho
\ other day that Ilambright's regiment (Dr.
Wright, of Pittsburgh, Surgoon,) was even
healthier, the ratio of sick being only two per
cent. This may seetn'inerodible, but as far bs
my observation goes, 1 can testify to its truth
fulness.
Rousseau's brigade is ahead of us, how'far'
lam not able to state ; but I think it is
somewhere in the neighborhood of five miles.
"They say” that his pickets are very near
Buckner’s,' but 1 don’t beliovo a word of rhis.
Troops continue to pour into this state. All
the Western States are represented. When •
the fedoral forces are uifitcd in Kentucky,
when Wilson’s little army joins usi and per
haps it is even'now between us and Louis
rill*) and the army iu BAdtcrn Tennessee ib.
drawn into the column, they will strike a
blow that will paralyze every rebellions arm
opposing us in this section of the country. Uf
course, no one pretends to claim this much
from one engagement, but that it will be the
ultimate result no one can doubt who "heeds
the signs."
In looking over the papers, we see it in
timated that, hereafter, the Union men in dis
affected sections of the country will have an
opportunity to take care of themstlves, the
nerve and muscle of the country being re
quired for another and a better purpose than
simply guarding Union men aiiy where. This
wise conclusion has afforded us unlimited
satisfaction ; but I must close. More anon.
Yours, respectfully, L.
~ P. S.—My last did not reach you, owing
to gross negligence on tho part of the Post
master at the station (M’Gook’s) —the barrels
containing our letters were upset by hogs,
and all the letters destroyed. It is tbc first
instance in my knowledge whore hogs "took
to letters."
In THE MtOGitEiCi OP THE ARTS AND SCI
ENCES every day finds new uses for them, and
discovers new beauties in them. They form
an allianee, as it were, for the conquest of ex
isting prtjudices which would fain stay them
in their glorious eareu. They gotogeiber,
band in band, overturning old and stubbon
and unreasonable ideas which would bind the
aspiring intellect of man to this earthly clod.
Who, when the beautiful art-of Photography
wag discovered, would bavo expected to
see it the active co-operator of the great heal
ing art— inedioine. Yet, soch.it is at present.
It is brought in as a witness to the virtues of
one of the greatest remedies known in the'
history of medicine. Wo refer to Lindsey’s
Blood Searcher, and to tho photographs of
cures effocted by ii,io bo sees at Dr. Keyset's,
HO Wood street. The testimony of the pho
tograph is unusually satisfactory, as it exhib
its tho individual iu tho diseased state, and
when cured; and it is impossible that it should
be spurious—it must bo, necessarily; genuine.
Having spoken of tho photograph, wo would
new speak of tho remedy to which it is such
, an important witness, and the most effective
thing wc could say would be to tell somo of
1 the moro important cures which it has effected,
It has cured one case of blindness in which
the individual was So far deprived of sight as
to bo unable to distinguish any object, a faint
prcccption of the light was all of vision that
remained .to 'him. 'lt has cured, a case of
rhoumatism which had existed fortwonty-fivo
years. It has cured a cuso of scrofula in
which the flesh was eaten from tho forehead
and arm. The. tendons of the arm were ex
posed, and seven small bonos had come out of
tho forehead. This person (Mr. Boyd, of
this city,) was also affected with rheumatism.
110 has so far recovered that now not much
moro than the marks of his terrible affliction
remain. Ho is able to work at his ordinary
employment every day. Several cases of sore
logs' I* 1 l?kich the limb was covered with rc
pufaive sores’, sfad in many cases holes had
been farmed deep fa tile flesh, have beon cured
by tho remedy. Any one desiring it can ob
tain full particulars ol these cares by calling

THE LATEST NEWS
- BY "TELEGRAPH. '
* oar Foreigtfe&elations.
* Philadelphia, Dee. The 1 Philadelphia
pipers contain extracts from documents ac
companying tho President's Message, relating
to Foreign affairs.
In the course of Secretary Seward’s instruc
tions to Minister Adams, he says the President
neither looks for nor expects any actual and
permanent dismemberment of tho American
Union, especially by a line of latitude. The
improvement of our many channels of inter
course, and tbo perfection of our *shome of
internal exchange, and the incorporation of
both or them into a great system of foreign
'commerce, concurring with tue gradual abate
ment of the force of existing; cause of
alienation, have carried 'tie already beyond
tho danger of disunion In that fang.
The so-called Confederate States,therefore,
in tho opin on of the president, are attempt
ing what will prove a-phjrsical impossibility.
Necessarily they build tho structure of their
govemmen upon the same principle by which
they seek bi destroy the Union, namely : the
right of ea ih individual member of the Con
federacy to Withdraw from It at pleasure and
-in peace.
In another part, the Secretary says:—.
"In short, all your must belong
to one of three classes, namely: First,
Arguments, .drawn from . the principles of
{kublic law and natural justice, Which regu
ato tbo intercourse of equal States. Sec
ondly, Arguments which concern oqually
tho honor, welfare and happiness of the
discontented Stale?, and tho honor, welfaro
and bappinesa of tbo whole Union. Tbird
-1 ly, Arguments which-if? equally conserva
tive of the rights aud 4 interests, and even
sontiiuonts of tho United Statoa, and juat
in their bearing upon the rights, interests
and Bontiments of Great Britain and all
other nations." •
Again, Secretary Seward says, Übe Presi
dent would regard it as inconsistent with his
habitual high consideration for the' govern
ment and the people Grcat Britain, to al
low me to dwell lopgdr on the merely com
mercial aspect of the .question tinder discus
sion. Indeed,, be will not far a moment bo
lievo that upon the consideration of meroly
financial gain that Government could be in- !
dueedto lorn) its aid to a revolution designed
to overthrow the institutions of this country
and involving, ultimately, the destruction of
the liberties of the American people. The
President will not dwell on the pleasing recol
lection that Great Britain, not a year ago,.i
manifested by a marked attention to the Uni- j
ted States, her desiie for? a cordial reunion, j
wbioh.-ftll ancient prejudices and passions !
being buried, shall be a pledge’of mutual in- ]
terest and sympathy forever thereafter. The ;
Union States are not indiffereht to the cir- !
camstancee of a comsn>&»descent, language, :
customs, sentiments and religion which ;
recommend a closer sympathy between !
themselves and Great Britian than either :
might expect in its intercourse with any other 1
nation. The United States are, oho of many
nations which have sprung from Great Britain
herself. Other such nations are using up va
rious parts of the globs. It has been thought
by many who have studied the philosophy of
modern history profoundly that the aucress
of the nation thus deriving their descent from
Great Britain might, through many ages, re
flect back upon that kingdom the proper glo
ries of its own greatness. Yhe government
and people of Great Britain may mistake their
commercial interests but they cannot beoome
either unnatural or indlfferint to tbo impulse
of an undying ambition to be distinguished
as the leaders of the nation! in the way? of
civilization and humanity.
From Fortress Monroe.
Fortress Monroe, Deo. 6.—A flag of truce
arrived from Norfolk, to-day, bringing several
Charleston passengers, hut qo news of any
kind can bo gleaned from them, except what
is contained in tho Norfolk Dat/Jiook otto-day.
It contains the message of Governor Letcher
to the rebel legislature of Virginia. One of
the main points in it is the regret that For
tress Monroe is not in the possession of the
Southern Confederacy.
The Rebel Congress, at It'session on the
3d inst., passed a resolution of thanks to Gon.
Sterling Price, far bis active sorvices In Mii
. loari during the campaign.
Gor. Letcher urges a forward movement,
and says that the banka PotomAC is not

Norfolk with a number of letters, and consid
erable clothing far ithe Union prisoners at

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
* Arrival of tie - 2i»rUi Auencaa*
Poktland, Ms.j Dee. 6. —The. steamship
Morth Hmerican has arrived from Liverpool
with dates to the 21st lest., and by telegraph,
via Londonderry, to the 22d.
The case of the rebel steamer Nashville and
ship Rarvy Birch attracts great attention.
The Nashville, remained at ’ Southampton,
on the 22d, for repairs. -
The Captain of the Harvy Birch had gune
to London to consult tho American Minister.
The crow of the' captured ship were rowing
vengeance against tho pirates, as' they- were
placed in irons for refusing to take the oath
of allegianoe to the rebels. The officers of
the Harvey Birch declare that-.eho was
on the soundings whoa the Nashville bore
down on her. Col. Peyton.was on board the
Naahville on a mission from North Carolina,
and, with Cammander Pegram, had gone to
London. The latter wants the Nashville
made into a ship of war at Southampton, bat
legal difficulties are raised. Questions are
also raised whether-the neutrality proclama
tion has not been infracted by the landing of
tho prisoners of war. It is reported that the
Nashville has spare officers on board for rebel
ships preparing in England.
The London Tlrntt, in alludiug to the case,
points to the recent visit of tho James Adger,
and says that it would bo to the interest of
England to keep them both out of her harbors
but if this cannot he done they must both bo
let in Alike.
The Star, although wishing.tho commander
of tho Nashville to be punished, says if he can
produce a commission from the Confederate
States the government must.let him go, as
they have recognized those States as belliger
ents.
It is reported that the Galway steamer
Adriatic has been sold and is fitting out for
West Indies, but there is a strong presump
tion that she is dostined for the Confederate
States.
Commissioners Mason and Slidell wore ex
pcoted at Southampton in the steamer La
Plata, duo on the 29th. It is reported that
the U. S. steamer James Adger ia cruising to
intercept the British-steamer, and capture
her, as having contraband of war on. board.

Washington, Dee. 6.—Lieitt. C6L Reynolds
has! been appointed refideßt
Royal under the general regulations relative

found or brought within the territory now or
hereafter occupied by the United States forces'

to report to the Secretary of the Treasury.
A bill will soon be introduced in Congress
authorizing the organization of a steam fire
brigade. As a largo amount of government
property has recently been destroyed for want
of some snch organisation, there can scarcely
be a doubt of the passage of tho measure.
There are. 46 persons from Maryland and
Afirginia in "the county j4il, arrested by con
stables on the presumption that-they are fugi
tive stares. A difficulty exists in the way of
their immediate discharge, from the fact that

as presented in tho artaal report from this
department, December 3, 1K59, wos $5,933,424
04. Deducting the annual deficiency, $4,651,-

The estimate of the total expenditures for \
1863- ia. somewhat less thanrthose of pre
vious. years. heretofore, submilted. This
difference arises from the fact that only
partial estimates are tnade forthe cost of *
postal eervice in the Stales where It is now
suspended- . ..
The appropriation for. deficiencies in 1862
was 63, while the. amount esti
mated to be required fromi the Treasury for
1863. is $3,646,900. ■
The whole, number of ordinary dead let
ters received and examined during the year
was about 2,650,000.
The number of letters containing money, -
which *weTe-registered afid seht-out during ■■■
the year ending June was 10.580. ; ;
The number of dead letters returned un
opened to foreign countrics'during the fiscal*
year was 111,147. which, addedTo the num
ber of .domestic letters 1 (103,886) sent out
a* above, gives the .whole, number sent out v
from the Dead Letter Office for the year, J
216,033'.
The result of successful investigation in
7,660 cases confirms, the past experiences of.
the Department that the failure of a letter
to reach its destination ta, in the vast mo- ;
jority of instances, the fault-alone of the
tfriter or sender.
; Out of the above 7;660 valuable dead let
ters 3,095 were directed to thtrwrong office,
467 were imperfectly addressed, 612 wero
directed to transient persons, 257*t0 parties
. who had changed their residences, S2l were
-addressed to fictitious pereons'of firms, 88
.were .uncalled. for, 10 without any direc
tions, 2136 not mailed;, for want of
postage stamps, 79 were mis-Hcnt, and for
the failure of postmanterS to "deliver 133,
no-satisfactory reason-yifs hsslgnbd. Tho
Department, therefore, can 'justly be held
, responsible for the non-dclivery ; of but 212
of those letters. ' /
Much other valuable-data; is given on
this subject, and it is worthy- of remark
that out of 76,769 letters, before alluded to,
originating in the .loyal States, and ad
dressed to residents of disluyal States, 40,-
000 could not he : 'dthbr because
the signature of writer tras'incOmplete,
or because the letter contained no -clue/to
his residence. The experienoq of the De
partment shows that a large proportion of
domestic letters/ written by educated per
sons,- and particularly by women, are de
ficient in one.orbothof thescireepccts.
In view of these and other facte, -the Post
master-General suggests .that valuable dead
letters, when returned to their owners,
should be charged with treble'the ordinary
rate of postage; comprising one rate for
return - transportation to the-Dead Letter
Office, one rate for registration there, and
one rate for return transportation to the,
writera'or owners.' : '
