eStS oil truth are never promoted ny tne NlOIenCc
of angry disputation, but an intelligent com
personal illusions in wrangle between public
journalists. The utmost obstinacy Of opinion
is not Incompatible with the scruples of gentle
manly courtesy; and if the Enquirer and Sonth
cannot agree in their views of public policy,
they may ut least debate their differences with
out an exhibition of unamiable temper. For
our part, we seek controversy with no paper,
and when forced upon us we endeavOr to con-
duct it with studlOus respect for the feelings
of our adversary. If an unintentonal wrong
be done in the ardor of discussion, we arc never
reluctant to make reparation."
From TnE MIssIssIrPl.-Cairo is nearly dry
land again, and will soon be free from water.
There are legions of mosquitoes since the food.
There is quarrel between the Illinois Central
Railroad Company and the town, as to who
must repair the damages and maintain the site
of the town. A late letter says:
The damage has been greater than was at
first supposed, aud the houses will need great
deal of repairing. The mud is about ten inch
es deep on all the floors, and of n very Shiny
character and disgusting SMELL There is con-
siderable sickness in town. The weather is
still very hot anG the sky was perfectly clear
last night. If a boy of ten years old should at
tempt to count the mosquitoes now IN Cairo, he
would reach three-score-and ten before he had
enumerated quarter of them. The high water
has left very visible mark on all the houses.
The water in town is almost too low to admit of
the use of skiifs, and entirely too high for wa.
ding; consequently, those who live in town are
nearly isolated.
The track of the Illinois Central Railroad is
being repaired as rapidly as possible but it will
DC u month before the trains will be able to run
into Cairo. The grade is broken and washed
away in several places, from 100 to 300 feet in
length, and treste work will hive to be put in.
The river had fallen last week one inch at
Natchez and was rising slowly at Vicksburg.
At Napoleon it had fallen ih all six inches, aud
at Memphis il had fallen ono inch since the last
rise. Arkansas and White Rivers we're both
down very low, and there is no rise reported in
any of tho losror rivers Between Memphis and
Helena the river was higher than it has been
known this season, and was still rising. AT
Memphis, it was three inches higher than it had
been during the season. Helena as previously
reported, has been submerged, and is all under
water, the channel depth being about three
feet. The 6ate1 is hardly twenty feet from the
levee there
M1ssouRr.-Free soil papers are getting to be
the order of the day in Missouri. One by one
they spring up all over the State. From North
Missouri halls the second number of paper
called the Re0ilte, in the editorial Of which we
lind the following:
The free labor movement is making rapid pro-
gress in Missouri. 1t is sweeping everything
before it, and it is certain to annihilate, in a
very short time the party Of aristocratic slavery
prOpagandistS, who are opposed TO its principles.
The people are determined to clear the way for
the progress of the grand movement, which has
already accomplished much for the material
prosperity of the State. The. certain and cheer
ing sounds that the buglc of independence has
seut forth from the patriotic people of Mis-
souri,, who a few years ago unfurled the white
dscouraging circumstances, has caused a tre-
mendous influx of intelligent and enterprisng
people from the older States, who, in amticpa-
ton of the carly and full success Of the enamel
patton movement, have located in the cities and
towns, and on the fertile lands of this State-a
State, which, in point of agricultural and mine
raj wealth, and all the recources that nature has
provided for the comfort and convenience of
man, is the first in the Union. The residents of
Missouri having had q foretaSte of the financial
and social benefits resulting from this movement
arc rapidly arraying themselves on the side of
free soil. Somuch having been accomplished
by one or two effective blows for the cause of
the whiteman, they begin to discover that the
uprooting of the evil must lead to beneficial re-
Suls, which cannot now be estimated.
The cause of free labor is progressing It's
course is onward 1t may be hindered temper
arilY, but wherever free labor can be substitute
cd for slave labor to advantage, there the cause
of the white man will certainly triumph.
