NOVEL MODE OF FERRYING
Considerable curiosity has been excited in this town and vicinity, for
some days past, by the exhibition of a new mode of propelling,
Ferry-boats, which has just been put in successful operation at the new
Ferry, recently established by Mr. David Rorer, across the Arkansas
River, a few rods below the Steamboat Landing. It is called Brown's
patent improvement in the propulsion of Ferry-boats. The following is a
description of it:
One end of a rope or wire chain, of sufficient strength for the purpose,
and long enough to reach diagonally across the river, is made fast on
one bank only, above the landing place, at as great a height from the
ground as practicable, and extended to within a few feet of the Ferry
boat, (an ordinary Ferry-flat), to which the other end of the rope or
chain is connected by a rope passing through pulleys at each end of the
boat, and over the steering wheel and round the upper gun-wail, so as to
form an angle above the boat. The main rope is kept out of the water by
three buoy boats, built nearly in the form of a half circle - a greater
or less number of which are required a according to the width of the
stream to be crossed. The boat, suspended as it were but the rope in
this manner, is propelled diagonally across the stream, by the force of
the current operating on a lee-board, placed against the upper gun-wail
of the boat, which is raised or lowered at pleasure by means of a wheel
and pulleys. The boat when under way lies quartering across the current,
with her low up stream at an angle of about 45 degrees. The position of
the boat is never changed - running with one end foremost in crossing
the river, and the other foremost when returning.
The machinery of this improvement is very capable, and the boat may be
managed with perfect ease and safety by any stout intelligent lad of 12
or 15 years old. One great advantage of it is, that the boat runs best
where the current is strong - any increase in the velocity of the latter
giving additional speed to the former. We crossed the river on this boat
last week, and made the trip over and back in between 7 and 8 minutes.
The river has since risen several feet, which has produced a stronger
current, and we understand the average trips this week have been from 4
to 5 minutes, and no doubt, by a little improvement which we understand
Mr. Rorer intends making, the time required for a trip, across and back,
may be reduced to three minutes.
Some hundreds of persons have crossed in Mr. Rorer's boat since she has
been in operation, and every one, we believe, is perfectly satisfied
that this plan is greatly superior to the old mode of Ferrying, or,
indeed, to any other improvement requiring so little manual labor and
expense - and is adapted to all Ferries, where there is no eddy on
either side.

STOP THE THIEVES!
WAS stolen from the subscriber, living on the Bayou Bartholomew, in
Jefferson County, A.T., on the night of the 20th inst., TWO HORSES, of
the following description, viz:
One a ROAN HORSE, with a ball face, branded on the rear shoulder with
the initials "J.H." 17 hands high, very heavy made, 10 years old this
spring, and a natural trotter.
The other is a BROWN HORSE, nearly 17 hands high, 5 years old this
spring, walks fast and trots very rough, has a large heavy tail and
looks old and dull about the eyes; no brands nor a single flesh mark of
any description.
A man by the name of William Nicholson was seen on one of the above
horses, on Saturday the 21st inst., about 20 miles above Pine Bluff, on
the road leading to Little Rock, and a large tall man, name unknown,
with black hair and whiskers, and dark complexion, large Roman nose -
but, as he is pretty generally known, a farther description of him is
deemed unnecessary.
Any person who will deliver into my possession the said Nicholson,
together with the above described horses, shall receive the brown horse
as a reward for his services - or I will pay half the value of the brown
horse for the delivery of both horses to me, without the thief or
thieves.

Novel Proceeding - Two men by the name of Dodd and Boyd, were
recently arrested and committed to jail in Washington county, on a
charge of passing counterfeit money. A few days afterwards, they
were brought out on a writ of habeas corpus and admitted to bail -
the former in the sum of $15, and the latter $1! Either the evidence
could not have been very strong, or the prosecution very feeble,
otherwise a heavier bail would have been required. |

Steam-boat Accident - We regret to state, that an accident happened
to the steam-boat Elk, Capt. English, last week, by the collapsing of
her flue, which will cause her stoppage for several days. For the
following account of the accident and its origin, we are indebted to
Capt. English:
The boat was lying to, four miles below the strut-off in the Arkansas,
about twenty miles below this place, about 4 o'clock on Wednesday
evening last, for the purpose of making some repairs. While packing the
cylinder head, and just in the act of finishing the leaden seat in the
escape valve or discharging pipe, which was made new early that morning,
it became so much heated as to fasten the centre of the seat and prevent
the escape of steam, when to high, in the usual way: The consequence was
the immediate collapsing of the flue.
Fortunately for the number of persons immediately about the engine and
on board, n one was seriously injured. A Mr. Scarborough, from Yazoo
county, Mississippi, was slightly scalded in the face, and considerably
in his hands; but we are pleased to learn that he is mending fast, and
bids fair to be entirely recovered in a few days.
We are also pleased to learn, that the ingenious mechanics of our town
will be enabled fully to repair the damage sustained by the engine, so
that the boat may resume her running in a few days.

$200 REWARD
Ran away from the subscriber, living near the falls of Coosa river,
Autauga County, Ala., about the 1st of January last, two negroes, named
WILLIS and STEPHEN. Stephen is about 22 years of age, full face, black
smooth skin, thick short feet, and is, I suppose, five feet 4 or 5
inches high, Willis is a yellow lad, 17 years of age, no particular
marks recollected. He had an iron ring round one of his legs when he
left me.
These negroes carried off with them a large yellow dog with the end of
his tail cut off. The last certain account I have of them, they were
making for the Cherokee Nation. I have good reason to believe that they
have been run from there to the Creeks or Cherokees west of the
Mississippi, by some white villain or Indian.
I will give the above reward for the apprehending of the villain and the
negroes, with sufficient proof to convict him - or fifty dollars will be
given for the delivery of the negroes to me, at my residence as above
mentioned, or twenty dollars for securing them in some safe jail, so
that I get them, and all reasonable expenses paid. Any information of
them will be thankfully received.

The Canal - By reference to our advertising columns, it will be
seen, that proposals will be received by the Mayor, until the 26th
inst., for digging a Canal through this town, to carry off the water
which is now drained off by means of the Branch.
The inexpediency of this measure, at this time, and under existing
circumstances, we think can hardly admit of a rational doubt. No one
will deny, that some improvement might be advantageously made in the
Branch, by partially straightening it, which can effected at a
comparatively small expense, by cutting through some of the short turns
or elbows farmed by it, and removing the obstructions to the free
passage of water, and thereby preventing the danger of its accumulating
the stagnant pools. But the latter evil is one that exists only to a
limited extent, if at all, and we cannot perceive that it will be
remedied by the proposed Canal. Our impression is, that it would be
increased - for it would make the old bed of the present Branch a
receptacle for all the filth that is now carried off by the current
which flows through it for more than half the year, and after every
heavy rain, during the summer or warm season.
Another objection to the measure proposed, is the expense which it will
involve. To open a Canal, and pave and wall it in a proper manner with
brick or stone, (without which it would soon be a greater nuisance than
the present Branch,) and throw good and substantial bridges across it at
the intersection of the streets, would require the disbursement of a sum
far beyond the present resources of our town, without resorting to an
oppressive taxation. Indeed, we very much doubt whether our resources
will be equal to such an undertaking for five or ten years to come,
without neglecting other objects of improvement of at least equal
importance to the town, as the one proposed. A small expenditure, two or
three times a year, would be sufficient to keep the Branch clear of
drift wood and other obstructions to the water, and that is all that the
present necessities of our town require.
We do not know the amount of the revenue of our town, but presume it
cannot be so large, that our Mayor and Town Council need be at a loss
for proper objects on which to expend it. If they are, we beg leave to
call their attention to the wretched situation of some of our principal
streets, which, in some places, barely admit of half-loaded carts
passing along them - and to our steam-boat landing, which is cut up to
such a degree by the late rains as hardly to admit of being used. We
could enumerate several other matters that are proper objects for the
care of our Corporation, but we will let these suffice for the present.
In the meantime, until these are accomplished, we hope to hear no more
of the Canal, or Ditch - or, at least, not until the Mayor and Town
Council shall have first taken the sense of the People on the subject.

WAS found afloat in the Mississippi river, at the town of Greenock,
Crittenden county, Arkansas Territory, on the 11th day of May 1832,
having about him no papers whereby his name or place of residence could
be ascertained - I have therefore thought proper to publish the
following description of his person and clothing, for the satisfaction
of those who may be interested: He had on a pair of blue cotton
pantaloons, a striped vest, and a white domestic shirt; appeared to be
about 26 years of age, about 5 feet 6 inches high, with double front
teeth in his lower jaw; had black hair; with a scar on his forehead,
over the left eye, about an inch long, and one on his left wrist,
apparently occasioned by a burn.

of five years, and for the Legislature to apply the proceeds of the
rents to objects of internal improvement - and also reserving the HOT
SPRINGS, situate on the Washita, in this Territory, from entry,
location, or appropriation in any other manner whatever. Our delegate,
Mr. Sevier, deserves much credit for accomplishing these important
objects.

Mr. Stanberry, avowedly for words spoken in debate in the House of
Representatives, was still progressing at our latest dates from
Washington, which are up to the 28th ult. This affair appears to us to
have been engrossing a larger share of the attention of Congress than it
merited. |
