BUsrEEss on THE RrvER.-Business is
already brisk on the river, and promises,
this season, to be immense. The number
of boats that have already passed up. is
more than double the number that passed
up. in the same length of time. any pre-
vious year. They are all well loaded
with passengers and freight; and, what
has not been the case heretofore, are well
freighted on their down trips. This will
be profitable season for steamboats,.

WY john PETIT Co.'s TO KANSAS.
The indianapolis Journal says:
There has been some little wonder ex-
pressed that a man who has held Pettit's
position in public life should, in the very
prime of his strength, accept such an Of
fee as tine Judge of Territory. There
are two reasons for it we suspect LIST.
Petit is dead, politically, beyond all
hopes of resurrection, in this State. There
is nothing ahead for him here. I'd. 1t is
pretty certain that, with the appointment
of Judge of the Territory goes promise
from the President to continue the ap-
pointment when the Territory is made a
State, and. the U. S. District Judgeship
is life office with a handsome salary.
And it is possible that an opening to the
U. S. Senate from Kansas may be found
in that office.

The OLD WINGS OF TENNESSEE. The
old Wings of Tennessee ar live individ-
uals. They are not as defunct as their
enemies have persisted in declaring them
to be, but are still animated with the same
vital antagonism to Democracy that used
to inspire them to action, an bear them
to victory.
The Old Wings held a meeting at
Memphis, on the 28th, and adopted a
platform. declaring the harmony Of the
Federal Constitution with State Rights ;
avowing their adherence to the principles
of the ancient party, insisting on an econ
omical disbursement of the public money,
denOuncing clog rolling" and lobby
ing as a means of effecting legislation,
and declaring in favor of specific duties,
incidental protection, a revision of the
Naturalization Laws, and Pacific Rail
road.
The Old Wings Of Tennessee will form
a part of the Opposition" to be brought
into the field against the Democracy at
the next Gubernatorial election.-Ece-
nina Nelus.

Seventy years ago, the Democrats drew
line around the States, and said to the
Slave Trader, Thus far you may go,
but no farther" This was the Jeferso-
nian Proviso. Thirty years ago, they
rubbed out part of the line, and said to
him, "You may go into lands South, but
not into lands North" This was the
Missouri Compromise. Five years ago.
they rubbed out the rest of the line, and
said to him, 1--WE will leave it to the
settlers to decide whether you may come
in or not" This was the Nebraska bill.
Now they turn humbly to him, hat in
hand, and say, "Go where you please ;
the land is all yours; the National Flag
shall protect you, and the National Troops
shoot down whoever resists you" This
is the bred Scott Decision.-&. Louis

statesman, he had moreover acquired by
his long service in different branches OF
the Government an experience which fit
tel him in a singular degree for the high
functions he had lately discharged with
so much credit to himself and usefulness
to the country. 1t is to be hoped that
his withdrawal from public life will prove
only temporary. and that our National
Councils may still share in the benefits to
be derived from the signal ability he
brings to the discussion of all great pub
lie measures"

TAKEN AT HIS WORD,

A few years ago, when it was the custom
for large girls anb larger boys to attend
district schools. an in cidsnt took place in q
neighboring town. which is worth recording.
One of the fairest and plumpest girls Of
the school happened to violate one of the
teachers rules. The master, prompt, en-
ergetic fellow of twenty FIVE. summoned
her into the middle of floor. After inter-
rogating the girl a few moments, the master
thundered out
'Will you give me your hand2'
Eyes sir, and my heart, too, promptly
replied the girl, at the same time stretching
forth her hand to the master, and eyeing him
with cunning look. A death ike silence
reigned for a moment in the school; a tear
was seen to glisten in the masters eve; the
ruler was laid upon the desk, and the blush.
ing girl was requested to take her seat, hus
to remain after the school dismissed. In
three weeks after the school finished, the
teacher aud the girls were married. ~
