Description
Full Text

The propeller SAMSON returned from Chicago last evening, with a full freight, and a good number of passengers. She was detained two days at Milwaukee by diverse winds, and in attempting to come out received some little injury to her bulwarks and light work, in consequence of touching bottom and being carried against the pier by the force of the heavy sea running.
