ProprIetors of the Wheeling Ihtelige1eer:
GENTLEMEN-I saw to-day, an article which
was copied from your paper, Telatiyesto a light
fdraught boat built at Wheeling, for Messrs.
Reed g. Mitchell, of Evansville, to run in Green
River; 10 feet long, 163 feet beam, upright
tubular. boiler, similar to those on locomotives;
will draw only about inches, with 10 tons of
frcightto give her an even keel. I want just
such boat, provided the power is sufficient TO
stem such current, loaded, as Whites Rifle,
Einsthe Upper Ohio River: Notsforl thatRriyer,
but for mountain stream that has many stiff
currents, like Whites Rifle. If you know the
contractors that built said boat please get them
to send me full description Of the boat above
referred to; what they will build one for, com=(
plete, and how .soont heyscan'doGit2 Iswould like
very much TO have such boat BY the 18th of
January next. I.would not care to have more
than half cabin, asst is freight and not pas
sengers expected. think She might be a.iittle
wider in the hull, say 20 feet, then wide guards
Please let me know allsyou can about said boat,
now she performs, &C. Yours, &C..
1.-THE builders of the above mentioned boat
can have the name Of the writer Of this letter,
by calling on u.s. @
In this connection We may mention that such
a letter as the above, is but one of the many
that we receive, making inquiry of us about
various Improvements and enterprises which
have, from time to time, been noted in our.
columns We most generally. hand over these
letters direct, without any mention of them,
save private way, where we know the parties
fer whom they are intended. In receiving and
handing over such letters, we have Ventured some.
times to call the attention of the recipient of the
beneft,as wcllas Others to the constant source of
private and public aggrandizement that well
managed and we'll patronlzed newspaper is. Of
course it is TO our interest to make such re-
marks when we have so good proof of it in
our hands, but it is likewise, and not whit less
of interest to manufacturers and business men
themselves to make note of it. too. a news
paper that is alive and ever on the alert to ad-
vance its own and the communitys interests,
by coupling them together, and laboring to
make one the prop and feeder of the other is,
next to the capacities which a community may,
have for manufacture and commerce, the BUSH
ness mans best friend and most efficient ally.
What other source compares with it FOR OPEN
ing up not only lucrative fields of private con-
tract but for developing avenues of great
public prosperity?-C Certainly, none. We hold,
then, as we have often said, that the duties and
interests between tradesmen and newspapers,
to and for each other, are reciprocal. A news
paper that is we'll sustained is like the bread
which is sent on the waters to bring back its
return after many days. And one that is we'll
sustained can afford, and is in duty bound to
keep an eye always upon all that is new or
moritorious in the enterprises and improve.
ments of its local industry.
THs Abolitionists have adopted new rallying
cry. Down with the Union,'' has given place
to "Down with Nyebster's statue" The Dis.
unionists Of Massachusetts are convulsed with
indignation that the bronze image of the Great
Expounder should remain in front of the State
House, and Gov. Banks is roundly denounced
for recommending the state to accept the statue
us gift. We quote the following words from
Garrson's manifesto on the subject, published
in the Li6erutor:
The STATUE MUsT BE REMovED.-Let this
! be the popular decree tO.Inorrow-lct the decla-
ration go forth from the lips Of every upright
man-lct it be the voice of Massachusetts A
vote oil the legislature can undo what vote has
done. That vote can be secured by prompt
circulation of respectful petition, to be signed
| bS all who in their hearts respond to the cry
THE STATUE MUST DE REMOVED"
''7ie statue must be remorel! AND LET ALL
THE PEOPLE SAY, AMENl'"
Here is the petition, which receives signatures
in the towns of Massachusetts:
''7o the Senate and House OF Representatives of
the Commonwealth of -Nds7aehusettS
ave, the undersigned citizens OF the Com
tnonwealth of Massachusetts, respectfully ask
you to remove from the State House grounds
as no honor to the state and repugnant 10 the
moral sense of the people-the statue Of Daniel
Webster, whose last years were spent in defend.
ing the Fugitive Slave bill, and whose last coun.
sch to the Commonwealth was to Conquer her
Prejudlces' against slave hunting, and to return
men to bondage with alocrity.'"

Bur we desire that he shall resign the position
of Senator VhiG iSeaatoz-of this district
Times Of yesterday.
We thought you said the other morning that
he was elected by the 'unamalgamated opposi.
ton"
But now, since you say he was elected as
Wing, Why didn't you support his election and
cooperate with his party at the electon-ors
any of the other elections about those times?
