The democrats have been making kind of rally
TO sustain their party, and the little influence they
have in this city by holding meetings for the purpose
OF appointing delegates to attend the convention TO
be held at Frankfort, on the 9Th of January, 1872
also to act in concert with the other democratic
clubs throughout the States At their first meeting
they were actually compelled to adjourn, owing 10
the scanty attendance. Their great ocofoco cham
pon and stump orator was advertised to address the
meeting Even this failed to draw crowd. The
name of Holt always had proved to be sufficiently
entclng TO collect respectable audience, but In
this case il proved abortive. A second meeting
held at the Washington Hall, which was somewhat
better attended, and few speeches were made by
Indifferent stump DISCLAIMERS. Towards the close of
the meeting, which rather the small potatoc
order, one OF their heretofore most popular men,
got up to address the crowd They seeing his cond-
ton (rather hopeless) left him TO speak TO the paving
stones. This he looked upon insult, (Which was
wrong in MIN as he could not see straighD and i'm
medlaJely poured forth torrent OF abuse, both pro-
fame and obscene, which caused the windows on the
opposite side OF the street TO be closed instantaneous
ly. His abusive language finally dispersed the re-
mainder of the scanty number that remained This

An uncommon series of casualties, deaths, muir
ders, &c have occurred in this place and vicinity
within the last month or two. A man was drowned
Yesterday BY falling overheard from the deck OF one
OF the steamboats, lying at the wharf. The last occur
renee Is by far the most melancholly-a young man,
by the name OF Cannon who was returning from
the place allotted for barbecue, about ten miles
from the city, OF which he was manager, had the
misfortune to be away with by his horse, and In
running through the woods the horse endeavored TO
get round tree in an opposite direction from the
one he was passing BY this sudden evolution the
Dung mans body swerved to one side, striking his
iad violently against the tree, the blow lmmedi-
s'ey killing him.
Senator White having returned from Congress-
addressed the wings at the Washington Hail. few
evenings since tremendous crowd was collected
10 hear the eloquent campalgner OF lS4O pour forth
his tieryeloquence He is certainly one of the most
pleasant interesting, racy and eloquent speakers that
a crowd could desire 10 hear. This late effo-t OF his
fully sustalns his character as one OF the most able
stump speakers of the west; the Developments he
made known on that occasion were truly astound-
ing. and seems to corroborate all former rumors as
respects the dongs ofCongress The Clay club list
was placed IN the hall for those favorable TO the

were added TO the list. II now numbers over one

Dinnetord has arrived from Cincinnati, and con
templates building his theatre on Third street The
plan OF the fabric has been put up at Readings, TOR
the benefit of the public Should he succeed III
getting the shares taken, il will be of the finest
buildings in the city. The theatre, building. under
the direction of Coleman, has been enlarged 80 feet,
which will make it one of the finest in the United
States for scenic representations being one hundred
and sixty feet deep, and seventy feet front. An
arena will be made for the accommodation of cir
cuses. 1t is a bad policy for Coleman and Dime
ford TO be opposing each other; the city will not sup
port TWO theatres the other will be obliged TO
fy the track. Which it will be remains to be seen.
The river has been rising moderately for the last
week past: business IN manner has revived. Sales
are not so extensive as heretofore, being entirely
confined TO cash. whereas the credit system adopted
a few years back, caused our most extensive men to
break The remaining few have ''hauled in their
horns" aud by theirtimey adoption of the cash sys-
TEN. have been enabled to save their remaining pro-
perty from universal ruin The sales this year are
better than those OF few years back, when the ru-
nous system of credit that was In universal use Is
taken into consideration There Is less money In
circulation than there was a year or two back, but
what is out Is good; whereas the shinplasters we
usedto have would not bear keeping over night.
The people are slowly recovering from the effects
Of the rag money and credit system. They have
learned bitter esson which may serve them adj
vantageousy in future. The time is not Tar distant
when every thing will be as prosperous as former
y, with sound currency and flourlshng times.
