The weather, Saturday, was pleasantly
cool, except in the middle of the day, when
the sun shone out very hot.
The river rose rapidly, and was still ris-
ing on Saturday night. 1t rose near three
feet in the twenty-four hours ending at
dark that evening.
Business was extremely dull.
The Greenriiie arrived on Saturday, with
a good cargo-including about 80 hhds of
tobacco.
The steamer Kate Sdrchet has postponed
making trip TO Cairo, owing we presume,
to the rise in the river and the scarcity of
freights. She was towed up ID the landing,
hut dropped down again.
Capt. Mcdonald is making rapid advance
ment with his new boat
By dispatch to p. c. O'Riley, we learn
that the steamer Kate French left Louis
vile on Saturday evening, to run in the
Louisville and Henderson trade. She will
probably leave here for Louisville to-day.
The splendid passenger packet Siirer Star
will leave to-day for Paducah. Capt. Fow-
Ter and Clerk Dusouchet will take pleasure
in welcoming and attending to all the wants
of passengers.
The old pioneer, j. H. Done, will leave
to-day for Cairo. She will receive lot of
flour at Newburg, and take on cOnSdera-
BILE amount offreight here, which will make
her trip almost rs valuable as her previous
ones.

on Thursday evening. IL will he some time
before she is completed.
The Aida is the regular Cannelton

pleasant little boat, and manned by gentle
manly officers and crew.
Heavy rains were experienced at New Al
bany on Wednesday night last The streams
in that vicinity were bank full. Salt river
is pouring ont vast flood, which will tend
to increase the..depth of water in the Ohio.
There seems TO be considerable opposition
between the two packets, Eo0nsriHe and
Freestone plying between Louisville and
Carrollton. They have cut down the fare
TO fifty cents.
The Kate Nay, now fully repaired, will
take the place OF the Hickman, liz the Gin
cinnati and Memphis trade.
The steamer Ngrjner from ST ouiS IN
Cincinnati, sunk on Wednesday night about
20 miles above Louisville. The guards are
under water, and the boat will be raised.

The Cambridge City Greys, indianapolis
Greys, and Fort Harrison Guards, went to
Shelbyville, on Tuesday, on a picnic excur-
sion. A rare time was anticipated.
A correspondent of the indianapolis
Journal, writing from Randolph county,
says the corn is still suffering, in that re-
gion, for rain. The most favorable weather
will, it is feared, not insure half CROP
Potatoes will turn out even worse than the
corn. The letter says there will he less po-
tatoes gathered this fall than were
planted in the spring. Pastures are almost
entirely destroyed.
The next national horse show will be
held at Dayton, Ohio, on the 9Th of Sep
TENDER. Dayton is a magnificent place for
an exhibition of that kind, and large num-
bers will, doubtless, he in attendance.
The Wabash Iatelligencer says there will
he more wheat to sell in that county this
year than ever before, and full as much corn
as in any former year. The wheat will av-
erage, taking the whole country together,
near fifteen bushels to the acre.
The Lafayette Courier says that liquor
seller, of that place, was fined S33 % for a
second violation of the liquor law on

THE Observation-Disclosures Demo-
from the result of the recent elections. Their
losses have been heavy and unexpected. In
Texas, their candidate for Governor has
been beaten by Gen. Houston, whom they
siigmatized as a Know-Nothing, and who
took the field in opposition to the RADICAL
ism of the leaders of the Democratic party
in that State. 1t is true they have succeed
ed in eleeting Governors in Kentucky, North
Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee, but by
greatly reduced majorities; and they have
lost terribly in the Congressional Delega-
tions. The following is a comparison of the
result in 1851 and 1859:

From The Merchants and Manufacturer JouHoLl
To those of our readers who are subject
to Fever and Ague, Intermittent and Remit
tent Fevers, or other Bilious and Nervous
attacks, we honestly recommend Leeds
Substitute for Quinine, for SO many cures by
its use have come under our own observa-
ton that we know how excellent it is.
This Substitute does not contain Quinine,
Opium, Morphine, or Arsenic, while it pos
sesses all the advantages of these medicines,
with none of their injurious effects. In g
pamphlet, before us, we find certificates
from all classes-the sailor, merchant, and
invalid, which all bear testimony to its ex-
cellence. Let our readers send for a circu-
lar, or better, for half dozen bottles, to

semoyal of the County Fair
Grounds.

Nh. Enron Permit me to call the at
tention of stockholders to the notice in your
paper of the Stockholders Meeting at the
Court House, on Tuesday, the 10th inst, at
> o'clock p. NJ, to consider the propriety Of
the immediate removal of the County Fair
Grounds to more convenient locality.
Such location is now offered on fair
terms The proposed location will be as con-
yenient TO get to from all the townships of
the county as the present Fair Grounds; and
besides is on the railroad, which will run
trains ut all hours of the Fair. The Ground
is well drained, we'll shaded, ard convenient
to abundant water. The structures on the
old ground can be removed to the new and
set up ut a moderate expense; and all the
work Of preparing the ground for use, In
Guiding track for the exhibition of horse
exercise, can be as we'll done before our
District Fair in October as in n whole year.
The fact that We have District Fair this
year which will draw strangers here from a
distance, makes the change necessary at
once. The convenience of getting to the
new grounds will insure at least twice the
number OF visitors that could ever be got to
the old grounds, and will make all the diff
ference between a failure and n success
Let every stakeholder turn out and express
his opinion, and take the interest in the
matter which such an annual exhibition
and festival demands. Remember the
meeting at the Court House on Tuesday at
. o'clock p. NJ. PROGRESSION.

In these fine States, where the Democrats
elected thirty-six members two years ago,
they now elect but twenty-four, while the
Opposition representation is correspondngly
increased from six to eighteen. A Demo-
cratic majority Of thirty is thus reduced to
a bare majority of sir, AID that, too, in the
strongholds Of the party. Everywhere,
sham Democracy is thoroughly demoralized,
