Dunbar and Surgi still manfully combat against the
encroachments of the river. They are steadily
proceeding with their work. Thirty feet still re-

in such substantial manner that the water has no

vase beyond doubt"
The same paper says of the overflow, that "the
water for the past days has been receding very
slowly. The levee on the north bank Of the new
canal will be completed by Tuesday next, and the
Draining Company will then be enabled to do much
towards relieving the inundated district Of the effects

JAMES X Polk, late President Of the Republic,
died in this city, we barey.had time to announce
in our ,ast at about FIVE o'clock on Friday evening
last the 18th instant after lingering for about two
weeks. His disease was Of chronic nature, hav-
ing been troubled with it more or less for the past
81 years, probably aggravated by the cholera epi-
demic which has been raging in this city for some
time past. He retained his consciousness, we learn,
up almost to the moment Of dissolution. We saw
him at period when his physician considered HIS
case very critical. He happened to hear that we
were going to Columbia, where his good old mother
resides, and sent for US. Upon entering the room
he asked us to take seat by his bedside; ne then
proceeded in very calm, deliberate manner to say
that the exhausted condition of his body was not
alarming to him-that he felt satisfied that his
earthly career was fast approaching an end-that
he wished to send some word to his beloved mother,
who was so unwel as he understood; that 1t was
probable she might not be able to come to see HIM
he spoke of her and other members of his family
most affecionately; among other messages dellv,
cred in the calm, resigned tone, he requested
to tell his mother that should they not be permit
ted to meet earth again, that he had an abiding
hope that, through divine mercy, they would meet
hereafter.
Early in his sickness, we understand he connect
ed himself with the Methodist Episcopal church.
funeral sermon was delivered by the Rev. j. b.
McFerrin of that church, and his remains followed
to their last resting place by large concourse OF
citizens He was inferred with Masonic ceremo-
MES, having been member of that Paternity

The Democrat of Danyille, Penn, says that the
Montour Rolling Mill at that place has again been
put into operation, and with its wel-working ma
chinery is going on in fine style. 1t adds hope
that it may flourish without another stoppage, the
only apprehension of which arises from the ad

of which the Democrat calls for, at least as far as
iron and coal are concerned. The Democrat seems
to have forgotten the somewhat threadbare adage,

nently woman Of whom her sex and her country
may be proud for she is no less distinguished by all
the qualities that amiable in private life, than by
the genius that has already won for her such bril-

the Intellect TO comprehend and tact to embody the

without the least reference the services or caplclty oil
the recipients and unpopular have the collector and
postmaster made themselves, that doubts OF their con-
rmatons freely expressed by politicians OF standing,
and all of threats made OF opposition by the dis
appointed ones In view of the dsafecton among the
natives, the Sun has commenced whipping in their mis-
led friends and several of the small connected with
that paper, which to act the part OF d-machne
to of the larger papers, have got up meetings in diff
feent parts of the city, assisted by reverend gentleman
who DESTROYS to incorporate the trade OF political
huckster with his clerical profession. These meetings
gotten up osensiby for the purpose OF elicng the
sympathes of the people in favor OF the struggling Ro-
mans, but virtually for the purpose OF bringing those re-
fractory natives who have shown disposition to fly of
the HANDLE back to their allegiance One OF these meet

all gatherings of this kind sort OF god send, inasmuch

them with "some place to 60" Certain i, is the leaders
of the native party have lost caste and favor; the Sun is
