The present rise Of the Ohio river at this
point is 81 62 100 feet above low water mark
which height it reached yesterday afternoon,
asa ithas fallen about eight inches at 0 o'clock
this day. This is about 10 33.IOO feet less
than the Hood Of December, l8l7; and is the
greatest Spring freshet we have had for many
years. Like the flood Of 1s47, but little Of
the rise was from the Allegheny river, being
from The NOnongahea and the rivers between
Pittsbargh and Cincinnati. The Monongahels
aPpeuTs io have risen to an unusual height, the
riss as Pittsburgh being % feet; in December,
1S47, i was but 10 feet-being difference Of
feet ih height. Since the introduction Of the
telegraph, a correct knowledge of the laws that
govern the velocity aud rise Of the Ohio river
may he obtained by knowing the heights at tho
same time at different points; and much valua
bic property might be saved from being sWep
away otherwise destroyed.

WATER.

MEssRs. EDITORS 1t is universally admitted
that there is nothing SO conducive to the health
of community as pure water, for household pur-
poses, bathing, &C.. and an abundant supply in
every city is desideratum, not for convenience
and luxury alone, but for safety. The past his
tory of our metropolis records terrible devasta-
tons by fire, which destroyed most of our public
archives, numerous specimens of science and the
destruction of our government buildings. pc
htion is now before Congress, signed by several
thousands of our citizens, and laid before the
Committee on the District, who as yet have not
acted upon it. charter is prayed for, and the
company pledge themselves, if they are allowed
by law to organize, to furnish the inhabitants
with water from the Potomac, with propellng
force that will drive it to at least tpen feet higher
than The dome Of the Capitol! To say nothing Of
the advantages which will accrue to the citizens
generally from cheap and inexhaustible supply
OF this necessary element, it will tend greatly to
the benefit of our city, by ornamental fountains
in our public places, and by the protection af-
forded to public and private property-making it
next to impossible that an extensive confagra-
ton could ever again take place amongst us. 1t
is hoped, therefore, that our citizens and sojourn
ers, who are more less deeply interested in the
subject, will urge upon their friends in Congress
speedy action in the premises, and that the COM
mittee having the matter in charge will at once
make report, so that, if possible, land easily
possible believe it is charter may be granted
at this session, and the work will be forthwith
theoretically commenced, and fastened to rapid
and permanent completion.

Genrria PnIifica.

The Savannah Republican of the oath, re-
ceived yesterday, says the Baltimore American
Of this morning, contains telegraphic despatch
from Macon announcing that the Executive Com
mittee Of the Union party had issued circular
Withdrawing their electoral ticket and calling a
meeting Of the Union Wings and Democrats to
be held at Atlanta on the 18th Of September to
determine on the course to be pursued. The
ticket which has thus been withdrawn was nomi-
mated by the Union Constitutional Convention
after it had declared for the Democratic nomi-
nees, Pierce and King, and after large portion
of the original members of the Convention had
withdrawn, disguised at the course pursued by
Gov. Cobb and the other leading members of the
so-oaled Union party. There are still three
electoral tickets nominated IN that State-the
regular Wing ticket for Scott and Graham; the
third party ticket put forward by the Convention
which nominated Webster and Jenkins and the
regular Democratic ticket for Pierce and King
The differences Of opinion which have heretofore
divided the Wing party of the State and prevented
their uniting in support Of the nominees Of the
party seem to be gradually disappearing. and
though the prospect at this time is certainly none
Of the brightest yet we do not entirely despair
Of Georgia resuming her position among the Whip
States of the Union and casting her vote for Scott
and Graham.

Brick Nj akinR.

The Baltimore Sun states that little over
year ago, Mr.. Isaac Scribner took lease of land
near that city, of about seventeen acres, and
commenced laying it out for the extensive manu-
facture of brick. He has progressed SO far that
he now has most complete yard, employing,
when fully at work, five brick machines and about
fifty laborers, and capable of turning out over
eighteen millions of brick per annum. Three of
the machines are of Halls patent and two of
them of Danes. One of the latter has been
lately much improved, and is regarded by Mr..
Scribner assuperiorto anything of the kind in use
The clay is all tempered by the machine while
the process of moulding is going on, no work
being done with the dry material The machines
are moved by a steam-engne Of thirty horse
power with over five hundred and fifty feet Of
shafting extending across the several floors The
improved machine is capable of turning out IF
teen thousand bricks in ten hours. The bricks
made by it are regarded as superior.

We copy the following Instructive article from
the New York Tribune:
I'VE are often addressed by persons at dis
lance who, reading in our commercial reports
that money is plenty in Wall street at A, or 6
per cent. ask us to negotiate them loans at these
or higher rates on real estate in Ohio Michigan,
or Iowa, which they represent 1--WE presume truly
as worth double or treble the sum they wish to
borrow on it. And yet it is no more available in
Wall street than so much selfrighteousness.
The loans made in Wall street at or per
cent are demand loans-that is to say: A. B.
has several thousand dollars on hand, (perhaps
other mems money left with him for future or
contingent use,) which is not likely to be wanted
for some months, though it may be called for to-
morrow. In all, there are seven millions Of such
funds in Wall street. The holders would like to
have it earning something, but they must at all
times be able to put their fingers on it at an hours
notice, some creditor or depositor may call for
it, Now, there is another set of rich men, (per-
haps in good part the same men who lent last
year, who want to use money in their business
and can give for it the most undOubted and i'm
mediately convertible security. For instance
one has 100000 invested in United States or
the very best State stocks, which are his clear of
debt, yet he is willing to make more if he can do
it safely. He says, 81 believe Erie Tor Harlem
or Hudson River, or some other) Railroad stock
must soon rise; so l will risk half what am
worth upon it. SO he pledges half his own Uni
ted States or State stock for loan of $50, 600
in cash at or per cent. on call-that is, he
must pay the loan when demanded, or the cred
itor may sell the stocks pledged for it and REIN"
burse himself With the $4,000 thus borrowed
he :. spreads himself" on the stock or stocks he
believes destined to rise-perhaps buying only to
the extent of his means, and perhaps buying ten
times that amount on g time" and only paying
or depositing or 10 cent. as margin" Ii
the stock rises, as he anticipated, he makes
largely; if it falls, he loses in proportion. But
in any case, the lender Of the $4,000 can get it
back whenever he wants it, beyond a moral pos
sibility; and this is why he lends it at SO low a
rate of interest
There is no such thing as brrrowing here at
4, 5, 6, Z, or even ten per cent on real estate
at least know not where OF how it may be
DONE Loans on city property are daily negotia-
ted at 6 to 7 per cent, but on no other. The
same men who lend at or per cent, as above,
probably would not lend at tveny per cent. on
Illinois lands-nor at any rate. They need to
know, first, that their security is ample; then
that they may obtain their money back the very
hour they want it, no matter though the borrower
be knave and bankrupt. 1t is idle, there
fore, to write us with reference to borrowing mo-
ney in this city; do several kinds Of business,
but that is entirely out of our line.
