River News.

By reference to the proper column, 1t will be seen that larger number of steam CTS than usual are now engaged in naviga- ting the Arkansas river. This is a sure indication that business is on the increase.
 There is about fourteen feet water in the channel and rising rapidly. But slight fears are entertained of an overflow, how ever; yet this is the " June rise''
 Within the last week two new boats have left this point for above, both of which were built and equipped in this river The " Conway" Is a boat of good dimen- sions and great speed; the other, Squire Hardy" is boat of light draft, intended for the upper tributaries of this river, Pike's Peak" etc. One is named after Conway Co.,, the other after one of our old citizens. We wish success to both.
 We learn that the steamer Irene Jordan was somewhat damaged in the storm of Sunday night, to what extent we are not advised.
 At the present writing-Tuesday morn ing-the rain is descending quite rapidly, rather too much so for full river and com fort.

How will they Get out of It?

A week or so ago the opposition apers vent into ecstacy over a telegraphic an ,ouncement that Letcher had gained 500 otes in the panhandle counties of Virgil ia. They swore that certain counties, iz: Ohio, Marshall, Hancock and Brooke, -ere abolitionized and that Letcher getting he vote there was conclusive proof of his bolitionism. They threw up their hands nd eyes-they groaned--they brought the orefinger of their right hands with great mphasis into the palm of the left-in ooth, they took on dreadfully Could nything be clearer? Was there any doubt ow of Letcher's unsoundness? Would hese counties being black republican, as tey said, go for other than black repub- ican? After all their lamentation, we find hat these counties gave Mir. Goggin up yards of 200 majority. This alters the ase. It is our bull goring their OK. Now { a state of facts applied to Letcher proved i'm an aboitionis., the same state of facts pplied to Goggin, prove him to be one. It's bad rule that won't work both lays.''
 Except some interloper, secret agent, or ecent northern importation, the people ot western Virginia are all pro-slavery.- Chere is no considerable number of free oilers there But if there is Goggin got heir votes We give an extract of an ar icle from the Washington States:
 "A few facts will demonstrate the falsity of all hese declarations. By the census of 1850 ther, rere 472,526 slaves in Virginia. The counties hat gave Letcher majorities and tn hich he qainet per Wise, by same census, had 26S, ,497 slaves The counties in which Goggin had maorities ant aimed over Flournoy, had 204 ,03S slaves. The 80 aled semi free west" where Letcher gained SC lrgely, had 5O,653 slaves, while that portion oi ne west where Goggin's gains were so large hat ut lO,oO5 slaves. Goggins vote falls short ol iournoy's. Over-confdence on the part oi tht aasses of democrats, and Swapping votes ?! congressional aspirants, caused the reduction ., u he usual democratic majority. The strens'n D he democratic party is in the much-abusea nol'n rest. They are always true to their princlples. The slavery issue had no real part in the con.es. ,n this question the people of Virginia are no" nd forever one and indivisable' '"w
 The opposition are noted for thelr get1lne out of tight places, but we do not see no" 1 they will get out of this one.

EE Rapley, Hanger & Co.,, sent to this office two pieces of tobacco, bottle of claret, of Alfon's grape brand, and another bottle, labelled '' Pierre Whisky" The tobacco we can vouch for as being good One plug was impressed and is of fine leaf md excellent favor The bottle of caret is yet unopened. As to the other bottle, we took it in the printing of flee, sat 1t down by the water bucket and stood off to watch the result. The hands soon "smelt suffin." The first one who came away smacked his lips and wiped his mouth on his shirt-sleeve. The next drew his chin obliquely down towards his left breast, at the same time shutting his right eye very tightly and opening his left eye very widely. Another sat the bottle down with sigh but made no other sign. From these and various other demonstrations made, we think we are safe in asserting that the "Pierre Whisky" of Rapley, Hanger & Co.,, will give satisfaction to those who are disposed to indulge

he Independent Balance on the Slavery Question.

The Independent Balance has an article aded "The True Democrats tactics. "- e would have headed ours "the tactics
 the Balance" but really it appears to He none. Nor policy. Nor principles. e mean, of course, in politics. We may he misunderstood the editor before, but, Massure him, that we did not intentionally mepresent him. We will try to under std and fairly represent him now.
 he first thing we notice in the article of th8alance is the following question:
 Does the True Democrat dare to maintain that the,rthern democracy are proslaoery party2 Wlny man in his senses make such decara- ton We think not"
 lby "pro slavery party" is meant one that's in favor of an extension of African slavy in the so-called free States, we an swerno. But if by the term is meant a partMilling to give the south equal rights in thUnion, that holds the territories as comm property, and is willing to abide by thdecisions of the supreme court, we answe that we do and dare. And we mainth and believe it; assert and know 1t to e true. And this declaration is made Mile in our senses, and we will en- gage ttfnd thousands upon thousands of democras at the north ready to assert and maintai1the same thing. The editor then goes on texplain the difference between the parties. Says he:
 |" The difference between democrats north and republicans lies simply in the fac that they belong to different political organizations"
 Exactly But wherein consists that diff ference in politics. On the question of the tariff? Ohno, because the interests of cer- tain sections lead them to unite on this.- What do the opposition oppose? What io they advocate? If both parties are alike on the question of slavery, what issues arc bstween them? Now we assert that the sun and substance of black republicanisn is opposition to slavery. Their mottoe' are " No more slave territory" ca reor gamzation of the supreme court; < an ex tincion of African slavery in the State wher it now exists" And in opposition to thB stand the democrats at the north willing to abide by the compromises ot tn constitution, willing to enforce the tugtlv slave law, and agreeing to let each sectio control is own institutions. The Balanc further says:
 ssThe fat is the south must learn that in tf north there not more than one man in fifty thol sand who really regards slavery as morally rigl and desires ol is even willing to see it extended.
 "This is the absurdity we ridicule. "- Now, our ilea is, that out of this lift thousand we would find ten thousand abt litionists and free. .soilers. We would lik' | lv find ten thousand more who believe sl' very to be an evil, and who would SIC | with the abolitionists. We would certail | ly find twenty thousand who believe sl very to be right, that the natural conditio of the negro is servitude, that freedom
 called is curse to the black, and that u south has right, justice and gospel on h side. The remaining ten thousand like have no opinion on the subject. The B lance is utterly mistaken as to northe sentiment. In the very heart of Come l ticut; in the cities of Boston and Hartfo

An Act to Prevent the People from being
 Defrauded with Bank Paper.

As the provisions of this act take effect, in part, on the .fourth day of July next, we desire to direct attention to it.
 The first section provides:
 "That a shall not De laactM for any per son or persons from and qfter Me 4th day of July, 1859, to put in circulation, to receigs or pass, sign, countersign, or indorse, any bH, bond, note, check or ticket, of Jess de- nomination than len dollars, ,cih an intention hat he same shall pass as currency. and that TO person or persons, or company, shaH within Mis State, receiye, gend, pass or offer ia poyment, any bank note, Jiu bond, cheek, or ticket, of Jess denomination han teN d,ozzqrs, and intended to Je used in circula- ton as cauYency whether Me same aCas first issued in this State or not"
 Section third provides that violation of the provisions of this act shall be mis- demeanor, punishable by fine of ''not less than fifty nor more than five hundred dollars, at the discretion of the jury."- And section four makes it the duty of the judges of the circuit courts "to give this act in charge to the grand jurors at each circuit court''
 It is to be hoped that this act will be rigidly observed by the people, and that the officers whose duty 1t is to enforce it, will give 1t their strict attention. We have all witnessed the beneficial effects of the law passed four years ago to exclude bank notes of less denomination than five dollars from circulation within the State In the financial revulsion of 1S57 it's eff feet was very sensibly felt. Instead of the one, two and three dollar bank bills that before usurped almost the entire circua- tion of the State we then had gold and silver. We were thus enabled more req dilv to discharge our debts, notwithstand- ing the villainous suspension of the banks, and to retain our credit untarnished. We venture the assertion now that in the cities of the east and southeast, or wherever our no set of men who stand fairer in commer- cial circles.
 Let us, on the 4th of July next, enforce the law to banish from our midst all bank notes of less denomination than ten dol lars, and, on the 4th July, 1869, all bank notes under the denomination of twenty dollars, and we will in a manner, be inde- pendent of the banks and of the periodical financial crises that they bring upon the country. If no bank in the United States
 was permitted to issue a note under the denomination of fifty dollars, there would be plenty of gold and silver, there would be no financial revulsionS, and the commer- cial prosperity of the country would be placed upon a firm and sure basis.

E War News.

The reports of the battles of Montebello and Como, as first received, were the mere gossip of Paris. Other accounts, princi- pally through the English papers and evi- dently true, go to show that this was rather an insignificant engagement. In the action there were fifteen French against ten Aus trian battAionS Tho Anstrienc hoins told by their spies that the French contempla- ted a movement on the line of the Pc sent force of fifteen battalions to re- connoitre. They threw bridge over the Pc, and leaving strong parties at each point on the road, advanced to Casteggio, then to and through Montebello and to the village of Ginestrello, driving the French before them. At the latter village, the French were reinforced by the troops under Gen. Forey and drove the Austrians from Ginestrallo and Montebello, after an ob- stinate fight At Casteggio the SAustrians made stand and being reinforced drove the French back to Montebello Here. Gen. Vinoy's division joined the French and drove the Austrians back The latter marched away in perfect order, and though the French had plenty of Piedmontese cav airy, did not pursue the enemy as they would, had it been a decisive victory Garibaldi appears first to have driven the Russians before him, after severe fighting at Como and the adjacent villages In his turn he was driven into the mountains, when, being reinforced, he again drove the Austrians before him. The allies are ad- vancing and the enemy slowly, doggedly retreating, in good order. Occasionally, they drive their pursuers back few waves and resume their march.
 From the tone of Kossuth's speech in London, from the general tenor of the Brit ish press and action of the British govern ment, it may be inferred that England leans toward Austria. Whether she can remain neutral much longer, is the question. All Europe is shaken. Turkey said to be on the eve of revolt. The emperor of Rus sia appears to be playing little game on his own account
 The Papal states remain neutral and the Pope, it is said, will remain at Rome.- Each journal has its speculations, its col umns ofrumors, its suggestions and prophe- cies. As the war progresses we shall take pains to get the true history of events as they arise. If England joins Austria, it is obvious all accounts through that chan mel will be as one sided as those from Paris are. The war so far has shown that Aus trian troops fight well-doggedly-and that their sharp-shooters are second to none.

Lola Montez in New Charaotei'

A London correspondent of an Amet1cah paper announces the " conversion ol the Countess of Landsfelt, and states that "she has quietly settled down a humble exem, !, nlar1 relieious woman, in her own domicil r. p;ooad;llv." In brief, she has left the s,aaa for Exeter Hall; fighting for praying; and having turned Christian, will tsn pi- ronettes and gentlemen's heads no more forever. What an eventful history 1t IS? Here YOU have it, done in rhyme:-- While young and handsome, without measure Lola gave her soul to pleasure;
 When that, at length, became fatiguing, She tried political intriguing;
 Next see the nmble jade enhancing Her slender purse by public dancing; Tired of the stage, she falls to hectoring, Bullying, fighting, writing, featuring; Till, weary of each wanton bias,
 She turns a somerset and-pious!
 How strange life"! Cher opn is spurious) Was ever history so curious?-
 While she had power for good or evil She gave it freely to the devil!-
 Grown old and ugly, weak and thin, Without a charm to offer sin,
 She gives-'tis all she can afford,- The poor remainder-to the Lord.

ton for 1t was lick for lick,
 That is meant for wit and here is one in- tended for sarcasm.
 Tine Ouachita Herald speaking of the democratic masses, says:
 This habit of obedience has been continued SO long that it has become second nature, and nothing short of some great public calamity will ever over turn it. and open the eyes of the people to a true sense of their enslaved eondition.''
 As that paper has failed to open the eyes of the people, it may be considered as falling short of gre@ public calamity, be- ing only lhle one.
 In an article upon the Virginia election that paper says:
 elf Martin Van Buren had been the nominee instead of Letcher, it would have made differ cnce-the result would have been the same.''
 How Martin Van Buren of New York could have been elected Governor of Vir- ginia we cannot see. It seems to us that if he. had been the nominee, the election would have been void.
 The Herald asks us if the Girondins of the French revolution were aristocrats and what was Danton? Some of the Girondins were aristocrats-of the worst type. They were inflated with power and of all aristo- cracy that of pospenues, is the most ridi- culous. As for Danton the blood thirsty. we are not his apologists. We believe that true history of the French revolu- ton has yet to be written. We have re. ceived onr ideas of the great events of that day through English channels or Bourbon filters. It was the policy of England to paint the French revolution in black colors as it did the American struggle for inde. pendence. If ever true history of the men and events of that day is written, we believe that many of those now regarded as monsters will be considered as misguided patriots. We are free to confess that while we shudder at the atrocities of the revolution, we have kind of sympathy with eye fierce democracie" of France.
