Mn. EpIroR:-The "Laclede, it is un-
derstood, designs making pleasure ex-
cursion to St. Peters and the Falls of St.
Anthony, in the course of week or two,
when those of our citizens who wish a
pleasant recreation will doubtless avail
themselves Of the most delightful oppor-
tunity which has yet been presented Of vis-
iting that lovely region, through which


ssThe river nobly foams and flows,


The charm Of that enchanted ground,


And all its thousand turns disclose


Some fresher beauty varying round.s


The main party from st. Louis will be
Joined by large company at Hannibal and
Quincy, and together, will doubtless COM
prise the most brilliant and agreeable party
that have yet ascended the Upper Missis-
sippi. An efficient band Of music, accom-
modating and gentlemanly officers, and the
sumptuous entertainment which all who
have been SO fortunate as to travel on the
"Laclede" can appreciate, furnish sure
guaranty that the highest expectations Of
the company will be realized. The LA
clede" is known to be the fastest, safest,
and most elegantly furnished boat that has
ever paid us visit; and as her charges
are lower than any other boat in our trade,
It is certainly the interest Of our business
men, Is well as the travelling community,
to extend ! liberal degree Of patronage to
her. Instead Of this, however, we see
tlabored attempt on the part Of some who
are perhaps less interested than any other
portion Of our citizens to create prejudice
against her, because, forsooth, in making
her regular trips, she necessarily arrives
here early on the Sabbath. The proper
observance Of the Sabbath day, as general
rule Of conduct, is highly commendible,
aand could It Be done with proprie.y for
one would be glad to see all business .on
the river and elsewhere dispensed with on
that day. But i the "Laclede" more
guilty than any other boat, that she should
be singled out as the mark at which all the
pious Indignation Of an 'insuited and Out
vaged eomimsmiya p Is to be hurled? eak
Ha The valiant editor Of the Hawkeye, with
. feeling 81 holy horror at the ssawfnl ,les-
ecration,,' was The first to rebuke her ssca-
vorting;" then came *" /" rushing and
tuaming upon the poor boat like ssmonster
infuriate, " and N.

All this The noble fLaclede'' suryived-it
was a plain prose, and could be read, i'll
not understood; but from the last infliction
70 the Hawkeye heaven help her! To be
