ssFlOw on, thou Shining Riyerc'

we think that HOMER makes the Seaman
der fly in alright and hide its diminished wa
tiers in the plain, and the wars between Wheel
ing and Pittsburgh seem to have occasioned
something of the same sort with the Ohio.
Wheeling has telegraphed Baltimore that ''the
boats have nearly quit running to Pittsburgh;"
the papers Of the CycIopean city becoming ndig-
nant at the insinuation that their river is about
to suspend, charge that it is "by such trick
cry las slandering respectable rivers] that
: Wheeling lives and always has lived. They
: moreover retort "that the line of boats of which
e Wheeling boasts is one running from Pitts
burgh to Cincinnati, and merely touching at
Wheeling" Now, as there is but twenty
inches of water reported on the bar at Wheel
ing and nineteen inches on that of Pittsburgh,
we should suppose there were very few places
on the route where the boats didn't "touch.'
We sympathize with La Belle Riviere
Professor ELLET has written thick book
filled with mathematical hydropathy, for the
relief of sort of periodical strangury with
which it seems to be afflicted. In this he pre-
scribes the water-cure of laying up stock
when the stream is flush, and supplying it in
! quantities to suit customers" in such seasons
as the present.
Still there is one comfort in the low water /;
Pittsburgh no longer complains of "the BRIDGE
Looking down at this stage Of the water from
that obnoxious piece of architecture, the Pitts
burgh boats are no doubt diminished to a
buoy" 1t would no doubt require ''the mast Of
/ oil II A.
the boats seem to go under without any knock
ing down Of chimneys-a feat which has, we
believe, been occasionally performed under the
combined advantages Of very high tide and a
very high chimney.
But these two cities having so long quar-
relied over the bountles of this parental stream,
are perhaps properly punished by seeing it
sinking before their eyes at the rate of 'a quar-
ter of an inch daily"-this being the doleful
report of the Pittsburgh hydrometer. They
should cease their unfeeling strife over its de-
clining bed, and with filial industry betake
themselves to caulking up the leaks through
which it is fast ebbing away. Seriously, how
ever, such rivers are nuisance. They generate
expectations which they cannot realize They
are totally inadequate to the commercial wants
of the country, because of the periodical inter
ruptions to which they are subject. Baltimore
has expended millions to reach the Ohio, and
her railroad will fail to redeem her just expec-
tations until it shall have been extended into
the interior, and shall thus have established a
communication which neither frost nor drought
can corrupt, nor Pittsburgh break through
and-secure for herself

MINNEsoTA.--A late number of the ST Paul
Pioneer gives glowing accounts of the rapid in
crease of the Territory in settlement and popula-
ton, and the multiplication of houses in all the
principal points. In the town of st. Paul, ac-
cording to the Pioneer, ''the number of houses
completed this season, in process of erection, is
almost Incredible" Two new hotels of conve-
nient and commodious description are in progress
of building, and it is added that many of the new
edihces now going up would be credtable to an
eastern city. Emigrants in large numbers were
passing up the Minnesota and Upper Missouri
rivers, to settle upon the fertile lands bordering
thereon; and it is also stated that every steamer
arriving at St. Paul from below comes crowded
with settlers, mostly farmers.
