IHe Missouri RiUer.--The St. Louis Republican states, that Mir. Brooks, in giv- ing ''an account of the principal rivers

 which pour their treasures into New Or leans, does not state the extent to which the Missouri is navgable by steam. 1 his Is deemed of some importance inasmuch as there is not, in general, an accurate knowl- edge on this subject. The American Fur Company have sent their steam boats tlpe,a- ty-one hundred miles above the mouth of the Missouri, and in high water, steam boats of light draft can ascend tiro hols- sa,sd siir hundred miles. The Mississippi is navigable by steam between sir end se- vea hundred miIes above St. Louis. These rivers pass through an exceedingly fertile country; and when a just system of Inter- nal Improvement shall be carried into ope- ration, not only New Orleans and the great valley of the Mississippi will be benefited, but every portion of the United States will feel the ilyigorating influence of such course.v
