A New Enterprise of the Yankees.
--It is said that a gunboat is at Florence, Ala., awaiting a rise in the Tennessee river to pass over the Muscle Shoals.

The "Broad Horns," or flat boats, from the Upper Tennessee, used to descend the stream over these obstructions in times of high tide, losing, upon an average, of about one to three, whilst to ascend the stream by steamers, through the narrows or "Suck," is next to an impossibility.
