RIVER NEws.-CoAL, ETC.-LOulsUlLte, Dec. 8.
Last evening there were feet inches water in
the canal bV the mark. On the falls there were
feet 2 inches of main water in the channel but
Capt. Lockhart falls pilot, states that boats at this
stage Of the river are compelled to run the Indiana
chute in which there are but feet 7inches of wa
ter. During the previous twenty-four hours, the
river has been stationary The weather has cleared
off cool, and this evening there is not sign OF
cloud in the heavens. By Geographic reports, 1t ap-
pears that the river continued rising at PIttsburg
Lumber is expected to come out of the Allegheny
Three hundred coal boats have started down the
rver-so there will be no scarcity Of that desirable
article here this winter. Several steamers heav ly
laden for New Orleans that arrived here on Thurs
dav from points above laid over until yesterday in
the expectation of there being sufficient rise in the
river to 90 over the falls Tho river, however, did
not rise an inch, and they were compelled to go
through the canal. The steamboat Paris, in back
Ing out from the wharf yesterday morning to go into
the canal got on the rocks. She had full freight
for New Orleans, and was unable to stem the force
of the current of water which is very swift at this
stage of the river, and she lodged on the ledge of
rocks opposite Fifth street. Efforts were made to
get her off, which, to late hour yesterday even
ing were ssful.-LouiSUi9e Courier.
The Cumberland. Nashville, on the 9TH inst,
it was expected the river would again commence
raising, from the effect of Lite rains
R1vERs-The recent rains have caused con-
siderable rise in the upper rivers At this point the
Mississippi has risen four or five feet, and is still
swelling. The uncertainty of the weather, which
was colder yesterday prevents most boats from start
ing for the upper rivers though two or three deter
mined to try it, At Quincy, on Friday, snow COW
cred the ground several inches in depth, and con-
siderable ice was floating in the river-as also in
the Ilinoisbut the river is perfectly clear OF ice at
this points,. Louis Organ, 11M

THE ONO LEGIsLATURE.-In the Senate, after
only one hundred and tDenty ballotings, John r
Knapp, Jr was elected Clerk. Mr.. Knapp is the
editor of the Marion Democratic Mirror and is said
to be qualified for the post We are glad to see the
fraternity getting share of g the spos of Office. -
In the House, says the Cincinnati Dispatch, we
have the same old story-the democracy eating,
drinking and sleeping in the Hail. that the opposite
party may not steal a march on them; while the
other side of the House meet and adjourn in regu-
lar order. The spectacle must be, in the well
known language of the late John d. Edwards, of
Mason couaty, Kentucky, i" Most glorious to be-
hoId' Some Of the stories, says another Cincin-
matt paper, that have been in circulation about
affairs at Columbus, are rare specimens of the
three blackcrow fable species. Night before last,
the word was that there had been fight among
the members, and five had been shot. Last even
ing several persons inquired of to know whether
it was true that there had been fight at Columbus
in the morning, in which a member of the Senate
from Summit county had been killed and several
Others badly wounded. The guerrilla warfare of
words carried on there is bad enough. People
should be 10TH for the credit of the State, to be-
lieve any thing worse of our arse Legislators.

From WAsHINGToN.-The Washington cor
respondent of the Charleston Courier thinks that
the President will not find much encouragement in
Congress for his recommendation to extend the
Missouri compromise over the new territories. It
is much more probable that the Wilmot Proviso
will pass the House, Both Houses he thinks, will
assent to Mr. Douglass's measure for Introducing
California Immediately as a State. Congress, how
ever, is not disposed to act at all on the matter this
session. and therefore it is not unlikely that it will
be left for the next session.
