Fusion al ALBANY.

II is generally believed that the Albany
Argus is to be merged In the Albany Atlas,
and that Mr.. Cassidy, the present editor Of the
Atlas, will continue at the helm The Argus
was for thirty years, under the direction OF
Mr.. Croswel, the most influential Democratic
journal in the Northern States. II was the
organ of the Albany Regency, and the mouth
piece of Van Buren,, Wright, Marcy, olcott,
and other leaders Of the old jackson party.
No other journal in New York welded so pow
erful an influence as the Argus did from 1920
to 1912. In the latter year, the first symp-
toms of rebellion against the Argus and the
Regency we're manifested by the radical Dem
ocrats, under the lead Of the late Colonel Young
of Saratoga, the late Michael Hoffman, of Her
kmer, and other prominent politicians, with
whom afterwards were united Silas Wright
Martin Van Buren,, John Van Buren,, Preston
ton. The division was originally caused by a
difference of opinion on the Internal Improve
ment question. The Regency favored the Wig
orous prosecution of the canals, while the Rad
icals advocated their suspension, under the
pretence Of economy. BY the election of Sias
Wright to the office of Governor in 1874, the
Radicals obtained the control of the State, and
suspended the works of internal improvement.
In 1916, Slas Wright was defeated by the
Wings, with the aid of the Conservative or
Argus Democrats.
The Argus opposed the Wilmot Proyiso,
and advocated the annexation Of Texas. The
Atlas, which was established about the year
1874, advocated the Wilmot Proviso, and OPP
posed the annexation of Texas. The Argus
advocated the Compromise of 1850, The At
las opposed it. The Argus was displeased
with the complexion Of the present Cabinet.
The Atlas was delighted with it. The Argus
turned its back upon Marcy, when Marcy be-
came aSof-Shell. The Atlas lovingly folded
him in its embrace. The Argus was in favor
of the Nebraska BILL The Atlas opposed il
to the bitter end.
Thus it will be seen, that the Argus, which
was Conservative, anti-Free-Soil and anti.
fanatical journal, has been forced, by the power
of the administration, to close its doors, and
leave the field to its Free-Soil opponent-the
Atlas, We say, by the power of the admins.
tration--for it is well-known fact that the
patronage of the administration has been with
held from the Argus, and lavishly bestowed
upon the Atlas.
The Democrats of the South should make
note of this, for future reference. If the
Southern Democracy are to be deprived of the
ablest ally they ever had in New York, by the
act of the administration, how can they con-
sistently sustain the administration in its
present contest with the only conservative
and national party now in the field?

The Louisville Riot.

we continue to receive further particulars Of
the Louisville riot. All the accounts concur in
attrbuting the commencement of hostilities to the
foreigners:
LOUISVILLE, August Tin the First Ward, as
two gentlemen were riding in carriage, they were
fred at from house containing Germans or Irish.
One gentleman was wounded, and the firing was
repeated, when Edward Williams, Waterman Of
the Second Ward, Joseph Selvage, and John Latta,
Americans went 10 the scene OF the trouble, and
they also were fired at Latta had his leg badly
shattered by mnsket ball, and Selvage and Will
liams were also wounded. Exaggerated reports
then spread to the lower part of the city in regard
TO the affair, causing large crowd to assemble
thirsting for revenge, They gathered around the
house from where the firing had commenced, took
two Germans from it, and beat them so badly that
their recovery is considered very doubtful. The
house was then completely ransacked.
The crowd then proceeded to the houses on the
corner of Shelby and Madison streets, from whence
Germans had been seen firing, riddled two groce-
ries, beer house, and two houses, all owned and
occupied by Germans, and injured severely seve-
raj OF their inmates. They then went to Jeffer-
son street, where a party of gentlemen coming
into the city had been fired upon from large
brewery--sacked The houses around 1t, burned
the brewery, and beat number of Germans
whom they captured, terribly-and also shot an
Irishman, who died this morning. In the street
below, an American was slightly injured by shot,
when the lrishman who fired it was captured
beaten, and shot.
Shots had been fired from all the houses which
were attacked.
The disturbances were now supposed to be over
as the crowd had marched TO an engne-house in
the 9TH Ward with their cannon, and we're begin
ming to disperse-but after awhile IT was learned
while the troubles had been going on In the upper
parts of the city, several persons had been fired on
in the lower part of Main street. aud that at about
five o'clock in the afternoon two Americans had
been shot ut from an Irish house on the corner Of
Main and Chapel streets, and this without the
slightest provocation being given on their part as far
as could be learned and this started the disturbances
a fresh. The Irishman who shot Rhodes was then
taken and Immediately hung, but was cut down
before life became extinct.
Thirty or more shots were fired from the Irish
house on the corner Of Main and Chapel streets
and it is impossible to ascertain the number that
were wounded.
The inmates Of row Of Irish houses, owned by
a man named Quinn, fired on party who were
passing by, when they turned upon their assaiants,
burned their houses, and killed several all of whom
were Irshmen.
| Some of the IrIshmen in these houses were
burned to DEATH A woman and Quinn are among
those that were killed. Eight to ten houses were
destroyed, and the number burned to death and
killed is said to be from 10 to 20.

Metropolitan Railway Company.

The second annual report of the President and
Directors Of the Metropolitan Railway Company
has been laid upon our table. From this docu-
ment we derive the following information in regard
to the present condition and future prospects Of
the projected work:
Ground was broken on the 10th of April, in or.
der to save the charter The charter win not ex.
pire until five years from that date but, as the
requirement is that the entire road to Hagcrs-
town must be completed within the said Ave years,
it will be necessary to apply to the Legislature Of
Maryland to extend the time to ten or more years
and require the counties of Frederick and WASH
ington TO give such aid as will insure the compile
ton Of the road to Hagerstown. The Board have
not despaired yet of receiving from the city Of
Washington either liberal subscription or guar
antee Of bonds. At the same time its memorial
to Congress, made last winter, but not acted on
for want of time, win come up at the coming Con-
gress, when IL is to be hoped 1t will prove successu
The Corporation of Georgetown has, thus far,
made no payment on its subscription of stock.
The private stockholders have also refused pay
ment.
The opposition Of the Mayor of Georgetown to
the work is the subject of comment in the report.
The report combats the argument that a suffi-
cient subscription has not been received to war
rant the commencement Of the Metropolitan road.
In reply to this, the Board states that few roads
are commenced with any larger subscription than
it has, to make at least forty miles of road) As
an instance at hand, the Orange and Alexandra
road commenced with but $4,000, which in,
cuded the two.thirds subscription by the State of
Virginia; yet they we're enabled TO 90 on with the
construction without delay, and have completed
ninety miles Of road to Gordonsvlle, and have but
lately, il Is stated negotiated loan of 81 200 900,
to carry their road TO Lynchburg, further dis.
lance Of about fifty miller. The Alexandria Lou
doun, aud Hampshire road have also commenced
active operations, with but 100000, Including
two-thirds from the State Of Virginia, towards
road estimated TO cost IS, 100000.
OF the Importance Of this work to the cities Of
Washington and Georgetown, we have already
written on several occasions 1t is well ascerained
that IL can be built for $4,000 per mile from the
District line to the Baltimore and Ohio road, dis
lance Of IL miles If constructed for this distance
only, II win place the District in direct communica
ton with the West, as well as with Winchester and
the Valley Of Virginia.
We hope, before the expiration Of the year, to
record the favorable result Of vigorous effort, soon
to be made to secure the construction Of this Sec
ton of the Metropolitan Railway

From the st. Louis Republican, August 4.
Arrival from the Upper Missouri.

We have at length had an arrival from the far
Upper Missouri. The steamer St. Mary arrived
from Fort Union, a distance of $3.50 miles up the
Missouri river yesterday afternoon Several reports
Of cannon announced her presence, and she was
Immediately boarded by large number Of persons,
some of whom were attracted by great quantity
Of large anters on the hurricane roof and others
to get the latest news Of tho boats now above
Council Bluffs. The st. Mary was loaded entirely
P. Chouteau, Jr., & Co., with 1880 packages of
robes and peltries She left Fort Pierre the 2lst
ult, and reports the steamer Arabia, one hundred
miles above Fort Pierre, and the steamer Kate
Swinney one hundred miles below that point.
All the rest Of the mountain steamers 1.-THE Will
liam Baird, Genoa, Clara, and Grey CLOUDY were
from two hundred to two hundred and fifty miles
below Fort Pierre, and all hard aground. The river
is represented as very low, and falling the whole
distance down.
The officers of the St. Mary say they never saw
the Upper Missouri lower than it is at present. and
navigation is extremely difficult and becoming
almost impossible. All the boats are having u
very hard time Of it, and it is doubtful whether
some of them ever get down. Some Of the gov
ernment troops have landed at Fort Pierre.
The Indians at many points exhibited signs Of
hostility, but little Inconvenience has as yet been
experienced from them.
