Ot The Providence Journal lays down
the following, as the nearest approximation
to rule for determining what are constitu-
tional rivers and harbors, and what are not
Abstraety considered, the rule cannot be re-
garded as rigidly right: but concretely, with
reference to the superior claims of States
that can be induced to elect dough-faces to
Congress, the excellence of the will COM
mend it to all future Presidents, who are
more concerned about themselves than their
country:
The New York Herald thinks that in view
of the Presidents Message, vetoing the River
and Harbor Bill, but indicating his readiness
to sign bills making appropriations for con-
stitutional objects Of the kind, an interesting
inquiry will arise as to what rivers and har-
bors are constitutional, and what are without
the pale of the law. We suppose it is settled
that the North Carolina rivers are constitu-
tional; but perhaps this decision will take
another form, that rivers are constitutional
in those States where elections are Pending.
Generally, we think it will be found that
Southern rivers and harbors are more con-
stitutional shan Northern, and almost any
thing that takes money is constitutional in
California.

1NrIANA RAG MoYEY.-The fuss about In.
diana Bank Notes, by the Banks and Brokers
of Cincinnati, should not indsce people 10
sacrifice money of that sort, which they NAV
have on hand. We understand that the
whole trouble is occasioned by an attempt,
on the part of the money changers of Gin
cinnati, TO domineer over the Banks of In
diana. We are advised, that if the people
will hold their notes, they will be good as
ever in few days.
Many persons under the panic and alarm
created by the reports set afloat, would have
been willing to sell their Indiana notes at a
large discount. But the Brokers here,
as general rule, have forborne 10 take ad-
vantage of this feeling, and have counseled
them not TO dispose of their funds at a loss.
This conduct, supposing there to be no good
cause for the depreciation, is credtable to
our banking community. Union.

MuRpER.-We learn from gentlemen from
Union Springs, that foul and bloody murder
was perpetrated between that place and Nor
garfield on Tuesday last, which has created
good deal of excitement in that region. A
young man by the name of WIN. Buckman
was found dead in the road. He had been
shot through the heart twice, and also stuck
through with large knife. 1t is not known
who committed the murder, but suspicion
rests upon two individuals who had threaten
ed said Buckman's life heretofore. One o
the suspicioned men is missing and the othel
is very restless. The murderers are said tC
be brothers in-law.

u. s. FINAKcEs.-The deposites in the
Sub-Treasury are still very large. On the
7th inst, says the Baltimore American, the
amour. of coin in hand was $26,903,S99,
within small fraction of twenty-seven mil
lions of dollars. This is an increase, since
the return of July Gath, of $2,743,5oo. But
the balances will soon be heavily reduced
The payments under the recent appropria-
ton acts have begun and will be continued
until nearly fifteen millions of dollars have
been drawn out of the Treasury. The re.
ceipis from customs last month at the Prn-
cipal ports are considerably below those OF
July, 1853. The collections at New York
were S4,O45, 900, against $4,000, 900 the pre-.
vious year; at Boston, S765 900, showing an
increase of Sl35, 900; at Philadelphia there
was a decrease of $4,000.

The Petersburgh Meeting.

Those from this part of the District intend
ing to be present at the Mass Meeting at
Petersburgh tomorrow, will of course have
to start to-day. Some have already gone, a
number, including good many Germans,
having started last evening. Those going
to-day, have choice of travelling there direct
by Canal. Several boats will leave to-day.
They are substantial crafts, and the Captains
will take pleasure in doing everything to
make their passengers comfortable. We see
no reason why those who take these boat:
may not have very pleasant trip. Other:
intend going to Princeton by Railroad, and
there taking whatever conveyance may Offer
to Petersburgh. We presume arrangement.
will be made there to convey good many
over by stage, wagon, &c. At all events. {
great many persons are going to Peters
burgh from this neck of the woods, and W,
hope they may have a good time of it al
round. We shall endeavor to secure such
time for ourself anyhow.

AZ Sam Pike, editor Of the Paris (Ky.)
Flag, was attacked while on visit to Lex
ington by a relative of Matt. Ward, huge
fellow armed with a club, and would probably
have been killed but for the interference of
others. The heighth and breadth Of Pixies
offence was calling Ward a murderer and
speaking of him in that connection as he de-
served. 1t was considered a slur on Wards
relations, and taken up accordingly. Why
hadn't Sam that big bowie knife he used to
carry! II those persons intend whipping all
the editors who speak out in the proper
terms Of their now infamous relative, they
will have their hands full. They had proba-
bly, better try the Hoosier editors on tina,

OT All over the country the Democratic
party is organizing against the Know NO
things. The Wings will find that this con-
temptibe trick will fail more thoroughly than
their humbug military candidacy fnilsd at the
Presidential election Enquirer.
Now this is outrageous! 1t is the height
Of treachery and ingratitude!! All over the
Country where elections have been held upon
the Know Nothing issue, large majority OF
DEMOCRATS have been elected to office. In
all the Eastern cities where municipal cleo
tons have been held, except Philadelphia
aud Rochester, have Democrats, generally,
been elected as Know NothiDgs. Now, this
is the basest kind Of ingratitude in Demo-
Gratis, to honey around this order, get nearly
all the offices, and then turn round and "or-
ganize all over the country against the Know
Nothings." tits the most contemplate of all
acts, these "dirty Democrats" after getting
all the Offices coverty, under the influence
of this order, to boldly charge it up as ga
contemplate Wing trick that won't work. ,

der, but If any odium attaches itself to theil
skirts-oh! that belongs to the Wings.

Egg Meetinn e.

The Yew York Tribune says it is informed
that on the arrival of the news of the egging
of the President, at Louisville, New Hamp-
shire, an indignation meeting was called,
and addressed by Jonathan PIERCE, no rela-
tive of the President, and of course interested
and enraged solely for the honor of his coun-
try; and certain incendiary resolutions pass
ed, which smack strongly of the war spirit
infused into the country by the glorious
Greytown achievement. The following ex-
tract from Mr.. Pierce's eloquent denuncia-
ton of the city of Washington, for being the
place in which the President was SO badly
treated. will be found inspriting:-
An egg, fellow-citizens, has been cast upon
! the Hat Of our hono-ed President. By this
base act the valuable Hat of His Excellency
has been seriously damaged; but this insult
has deeper meaning and a wider range
the Government itself is insulted, and by
whom! ask, sir, by whom! Will you tell
me that the wretch who threw the egg is the
party of whom redress should be sought!
scorn the conclusion. How would such
proceedings be regared by foreign potentates
WHAT would the Emperor Nicholas say of
it! The City of Washington, sir, is then re-
sponsibIe for this insult. Her inhabitants
are guilty OF the crime, and shall they escape
deserved punishment! No. Let Washing
ton, like Grey town be blotted out. Immense
applause. Let the world know that our
Government from the lowest to the highest
of its officials, is not to be insulted with i'm
punity. 1t may BE- said that some of the
people of Washington are American citizens
and innocent of crime. So were they o
Greytown. Is there anything in the charac
ter of the city which calls for mercy! Il
was said of Greytown that most of its inhab
tants were spectators, dsorderly persons
, and niggers. Can that be denied of Wash
ington! ask, why should Greytown bt
destroyed and Washington spared! Is the
nose of an obscure chap like Borland o
!, higher national Importance than the old Ha
of our honored President! Sir,l offer TIT
t flowing resolutions:
g Resolved, In view of the enormity of thu
outrage offered to President Pierce by tn,
City of Washington, that Secretary Dobbir
should be directed to instruct Commando
Holiins to proceed with the sloop- of-war Cy
ane to that city, and open upon it with al
E his guns for two hours, without intermisson
y and in case anything should then remsiI
standing, to land party of marines and burr
and destroy the residue and remainder, un
l less the authorities shall humbly beg pardon
of the President, and purchase for him a new
: hat of such quality and cost as he shall Sc
lect and approve.
