President HARRISON to fill the place OF
Secretary of the Navy, is an eminent

from obscurity to the highest place in the
Government, and Of which the present
Cabinet furnishes two other examples.

known as the Defender Of the Consiita-

OVERFLOW OF THE MISSISSIPPI.

BY meteorological estimate which
appears in the Natchez Courier of last
Tuesday, it would seem that apprehen.
sions of a general overflow, owing to the
remarkable rains of the past month, are
not unfounded. 1t is observed. that the
rising of the river is now more rapid,
than has ever been noted before. With
i'll two days it had risen at Natchez eight
feet, and on the LIST instant was not more
than fifteen feet below the maximum of
1910. The mean fall of rain in the Mis-.
sissippi valley annually is estimated at
thirty-six inches. This mean a. Match
ez is 4S inches; at New Orleans so
inches, and at Fort Smelling % inches.
The month of January, usually furnish.
es about inches.
Within twenty days it has already
rained ten inches, which quantity is equal
to depth due to seventy-fve days in
usual seasons, at this latitude, and cor
responds to 8 inches for the mean latitude
of the valley. If from this quantity we
deduct 2 inches, as due to that number of
days in ordinary seasons, we have left a
depth of six inches of water-perhaps
over the whole region, to be discharged
by the river in addition to its usual guam
tum. After scientific calculation of the
capacity of the river, taking into consld-
Grafton the velocity Of its current, altitude
of banks, etc, the writer concludes by
saying, that unless the deductions Of me.
neurological science are extremely falla.
cious, apprehensions of an overflow are
we'll founded, aud common prudence
would dictate to be prepared for the emer
gency.
The N. @. Bulletin of the 81 says
"The water is rising rapidly-last eve
ming it was within three feet of thu
highest mark Of last year. We sincere
ly hope it will not continue to rise much
longer. If it should, the planters on thu
coast, if nobody else does, will SUITE
severely" -Nicksburgh Whiy.

Dissraceful Practice.

We extracted the following sometime
since, from the correspondence of the
Boston Atlas, as calculated to show the
Characteristic meanness of some of our
politicians at Washington. There was
little need of introducing the name of
Duncan-there is a "spice of coarseness"
abou. the transaction which identifies him
with it.
"There has been practice prevailing
here, for some years, which as chrome
cler Of events at the Capitol, ! feel called
upon to expose. The two Houses OF
Congress are allowed a large number OF
pages. or boys in waiting, to run to and
from the Senate Chamber and Hall OF
the House to do the bidding Of the mem
oers. These boys most of whom are
under 10 and II years, are allowed
$3.50 day, or $1,000 a week for this
service. Some years since some avarl-
clous members brought on their sons,
and obtained employment for them as
Messengers. The practice was always
Iepudiated, and in one instance old ''Ben
narden,' of KY, threatened father to
expose his conduct to the House if he
cid not withdraw his son. The threat
vas successful. At the last session, DR..
Duncan brought on his son for this pur.
pose.-Col. Johnson gave him a mes
senger's place in his room, and he was
paid for eight months services, and $3.50
extra at the end of the session, in all be
tween six and seven hundred dollars

'roTHE VOTERS OF LEE COUNTY.

TO THE VOTERS OF LEE COUNTY.
The undersigned having been appoint
ed committee TO draf, an address on
the subject Of the approaching county seat
election, proceed to make a statement of
facts in relation thereto, as briefly as pos
sible.
In order to provide against the burthen
of taxes which must be levied upon the
people to erect public buildings, the pre-
sident and trustees of the town of Fort
Madison, have passed an ordinance bind
ing themselves to appropriate the sum Of
eight thousand dollars for the erection Of
said buildings, provided the county seat
OF Lee county shall be located at the town
of Fort Madison, which ordinance accom-
panies this address.
This amount of money the president
and trustees will be enabled TO pay over to
the county commissioners from out of the
fund arising from the sale of lots in said
town, and tax to be raised from the citi-
zens of said town.
The proceeds of the sale of the lots
viii ehtlOuut w oUOut SCNCu tuouoaliu
dollars; and will be paid over in few
weeks to the president and trustees of said
town. Several of the citizens of Fort
Madison have entered into bond, which
is hereunto annexed, binding themselves
TO pay over to the county commissioners
the amount agreed to be paid by the pre-
sident and trustees, provided that sutii-
cient sum of money is not in the treasury
of the corporation when the money may
be required by the county commissioners
for the erection of said public buildings.
This course is taken to render the pay
ment of the sum above mentioned more
certain, making assurance doubly sure.
The committee deem it unnecessary 10
say any thing of the peculiar advantages
of Fort Madison as proper place for the
county seat; but they would simply re.
mark, that the inconvenience Of being
compelled to go five, ten, nay twenty
miles, to the county seat, is not to be
compared with the importance of build
ing up a town upon a navigable stream
where the farmer will find ready mar
ket for his produce at all seasons of TIT

DEMAND EXTRAORDINARY.

|, is rumored that the Governor Of
Illinois has made demand extraordinary
on the Governor of Missouri; one of
much greater moment than that by Vir-
GINA on New York, or of Georgia on
Maine. II is nothing less than the sur
render, to his tender mercies, of Doctor
Lane, ex-Mayor of our goodly city, and
several of his contemporary city officers,
for the crime of trespass upon the Hi
nois half of the Mississippi river, in the
improvement of our city harbor.
This demand must place our Demo
cratic Governor in sort of predicament,
seeing it comes from an orthodox source,
no less than as genuine democratic gov
ernor as ever trod shoe leather. If 1t
was mere formal demand, it is proba-
BILE enough that the demandant signllied
the fact in his communications, but IT
made in good faith, and the demand is
not responded to by surrender of the
outragers, the Governor of Illinois will
have to communicate that fact to the Lee
gislature now in session. If he does this,
we NAV expect to hear from that dignifi.
ed body, that some member, like our
Speaker, has moved a set of non-inter-
course resolutions, with respect to the
State of Illinois and City of st. Louis.
and that the farmers of the adjacent re-
zion of Illinois are prohibited, under Sc
we're pains and penalties, from attending
the ST. Louis market. When are the
troubles of St. Louis to have an end! Al
present, their condition appears very
4 much like that of the ancient Brltons,
after the power Of the Romans had SO ia,
declined as to be no longer able TO afford
them protection from the Picts. The
Britons, in an appeal to the Romans a
that time, said: ssThe Barbarians on the
!, one side drive US into the sea, and The
sea drives US back again upon the Barba
! rians; so that we have but the hard choice
left. to perish by the sword or by TIM
waves So is it with ST. Louis, witt
