The Black Hawk - This new and elegant steamboat made her first appearance in our Harbor on Monday last, and as will be seen by an advertisement in another column, is hereafter to ply regularly between this place and Ogdensburgh, twice a week. She is a very pretty and we understand fast running boat, and we have no doubt will command a fair share of the public patronage. [Sackets Harbor Courier, July 17th]

There is a new arrangement made in the trips of the steam boat United States for the remainder of the season, as may be seen by advertisement. She is expected hereafter to make a trip through the route every fifth day, carrying no freight.
