We have now in our harbor two whalers. the
Nile and the Russell, belonging to and fitted out
from this port, and their voyages are proof sufi.
cent that this must become the great depot Of the
whaling business in the Pacific.
The Nile, Captain James Taylor, lett this port
in May last for the Arctic sea passed the Straits
in July extended her cruise far north as lat 6S
deg, encountering the worst weather almost ever
known in those latitudes, duri.g the gales and
storms which wrecked or disabled nearly the en-
tire whaling feet, and succeeded in obtaining some
six hundred barrels, whilst almost everything
spoken was clean and after running the gauntlet
Of ice, fogs and gales returned to this port in four
months, bringing catch, although comparatively
small, still equal in value to two thousand barrels
in New Bedford.
The Russell, Captain Coty, left this port in
March last, by the way Of the Islands, proceeded
to the same ground, fighting her way through all
obstacles and discouragements; she placed herself
as high north as lat. 10 deg, and although all ad-
vices from her previous to her arrival reported her
clean, succeeded, by dint of good management and
perseverance, amidst ice, and fogs, and SHOWS, In
bringing safe to port, the 18th inst, the hand
some catch of twelve hundred barrels.
So much for San Francisco whalers. They may
fairly be raid to have distanced the whaling feet Of
the Pacific. We hope that the success which has
attended there pioneer ships may be only the be-
ginning Of that kind Of enterprise from this port
and that we may soon have to notice the departure
and arrival of our semi-yearly feet Of whalers.

THE CABINET MAKERS RIor IN CINCINNATI
Four MEN SHoT.-The following further particu-
lars Of the cabinet makers riot, at Gin ,innat are
given in the late papers The cabinet makers
strike, which was mentioned yesterday, resulted in
most disgraceful riot yesterday afternoon. For ssve
raj days past much exctom ent has existed among the
journeymen cabinet makers of the city, on account
Of the difficulties which originated in Mudge's bel
stead factory, from the attempted reduction Of
wages in that establishment. Several meetings
had been held, and yesterday the persons who held
out, learning that about thirteen journeymen were
at work in the factory at tho reduced prices, rs
fembled In Pearl street Market House, together
with workmen from several other shops in the city,
to the number Of nearly four hundred. Aster
several infammatory speeches, they proceeded
in q body to the factory, which is situated on
Columbia street, between Vine and Race. The
crowd halted in the neighborhood Of the factory,
and sent q committee to wait on Mr. Nudge,
and demanded that the men in the shop should quit
work, or else that the old prices shopld be paid.
This was refused, and the committee were not al
lowed to enter the factory to converse with the
men. As soon as Mr.. M g answer Was known, the
excited mob rushed forward and assaulted the
building with brickbats aud stones, and attempted
to effect an entrance. The east windows Of the
factory were dashed in, but the pesons inside OF the
building promptly closed the doors and iron win
dow shutters, thus preventing further damage.
The crowd outside had now swelled to the number
Of nearly one thousand. At this moment Mayor
Taylor. who had received notice of the as
sembage, arrived upon the ground with a strong
posse OF police. Several Of the rngeaders were
cured, and the rioters then turned upon the officers.
Waterman Bunker was struck on the side OF his
head with brick; he turned and fred upon his as
Gallant, the ball taking effect in his breast naict-
ing severe wound. Pat Flannery was knocked
Gown, but not severely hurt. One Of the rioters
was shot in the room, and two others we're slightly
w,unced. After q desperate fight in which fire.
arms were discharged in great numbers and rapid
succession, the officers succeeded In carrying of the
prisoners, but were followed by the excited mob,
who kept up constant shower Of bricks and stones.
Most Of the rioters were Germans. About one half
of the prisoners we're baed out BY their friend, last
evening GIN Noip., Dec. 2.

Wardwell assured me, personally, that his treasurer

however, to keep his engagement, as will appear
from letter received from Mr.. Grinnell, which

DEAR SIR-By the programme of arrangements

patriot, Louis Kossuth, by the municipal auther-
column specifically appropr. ated to the srevo-
lutionary soldiers" and also to the "oi ,ers and
soldiers Of the war Of 1912, 'l3, and II.
The number Of Revolutionary soldiers" must, Of
course, be very email, il, indeed, single one Of
those memorable men" can be found for the occa-
sion. The number of the ''oficers aud soldiers Of
the war Of 1872, l3, and H." especially Of those
who saw the elephant" cannot be large.
Now, the question has arisen in my mind why
some position was not likewise assigned to the vic
tors Of Mexicol The splendid achievements and
gallantry Of the American army in Moxoo has not
been surpassed by any on this continent or ia Eu-
rope, and as it is notorious fact that quite
siderable number Of those men in the city, the
question above stated naturally occurs to me.
Will you be SO kind as to publish the enquiry in
your widely circulated paper, that someone may,
II possible, furnish an answer.

BARBARoUs TREATMENT or CHILD--Ssmuel
Olmstead and Polly his wife were lately tried in
Illinois for manslaughter, in having caused the
death Of little girl only Eve years Of age, the
daughter Of Olmstead by former marriage. IL
appears from the account Of the trial. pu blished in
the Illinois Stofeyeurnai, that Olmstead married
the second time about three weeks after the death
Of his 6rst wife, at which time Obey, the child al
luded to, was about Eve years old, and remarkably
sprightly and healthy. This was about eighteen
months ago. Soon after the marriage, the new
wife confined the little girl in the Kitchen and there
kept her NEST Of the time tied, aud without FIRE.
In this situation she forced to remain mp TO the
time Of her death, having no food allowed her ex-
cept half pint Of ceee milk, and piece Of cold
corn bread, each day. No bed was allowed her in
any weather, further than a single soanty quilt.
The fcndish woman often amused herself by beat
ing the child, and on one occasion compelled
another child to choke her until she was black in
the face she continually forced her to eat rotten
fruit and vegetables CT various kinds, with other
filth, which II would not be seemly for us TO de-
scribe. Sometimes she would fasten the little
creature unatr the kitchen floor and leave her
there for hours. Other details we're given, VIII oh
are too shocking for publication. The poor little
sufferer often wished herself dead. On one coca.
sion she escaped from the kitchen and was seen
trying to climb pole which stood in the yard
Upon being asked where she was going, she re-
piled that she was going up 10 the other world to
see her mother The hsartless stspmothsr ordsrsd
