Business is very good with US, and gradually
and permanently improving. What look upon
40 fair evidence OF this is the improved demand
for nuanufac factured articles. Some of our rolling
mills are pressed for iron, and are running on
.full time that is, all the tiIfse. Each mil!
has double sets of hands, and when the demand
is small, as it has been for year past they run
only during the day; technically half-time," or
halfwork for then each set is idle three days III
the week. Our Banks are dscounting every
good note offered. a few months ago nothing
but firs:-ratc paper was received: now, they are
glad 10 get even good. The River is low, but a
heavy rain yesterday will bring il up again. The
carrying trade is III no-wlse diminished. The

community has labored this season, We have IN
this exhibit proof of the rapidity with which

No fears need be entertained OF low water on
the Ohio. The time has gone by wien water de-
laycd freight and travellers at this point. Unless
very extraordinary drought should occur, every
thing shipped via Pittsburgh will be forwarded
without delay. Within few years a class OF
steamers Of very light draught has been con-
structed for the special purpose of shipping dur
ing the season OF low water Some of these boats
will carry 60 tons of freight on 10 and II inches
of water

It seems as though the Pine trade on the Up
per Mississippi is going TO cut us out of consid
erable market. The principal supplies of st.

nearer home and far less expensive.
Several of the Canal Transportation lines have

For Congressman in place OF ". W. Irwin, no
ono in particular, but a number in general, are
talked OF. For the County Offices there will be

personal questions than any thing else
