Steam-Boat

Mr. Roosevelt, it is stated, is building a Steam Boat, to run on the Ohio and Mississippi, of upwards of 400 tons burthen; which it is supposed will traverse that stream against the current, at the rate of 35 miles a day, which will require six weeks to navigate from New Orleans to Pittsburgh.
