The first boat of the season, the Canada, passed up the
river last Saturday evening, but encountering ice near Bellevue
it returned the following day. The Henderson arrived
here on Wednesday evening, bringing a large number of furloughed
soldiers, and proceeded up the river. The excellent Northern Line
packet, Davenport, passed up on Wednesday afternoon.
