The Cincinnati Gazette, of the 24th, says:

Inc Clnclnnatl GaZette, OF the 24th, says:
The river opposite this port is receding, having
declined four inches in the past twenty -four hours.
Another slight swell is reported at Pttsburg, but the
pilots of the Courier report the river falling all the
way down, with seven feet water in the channel.
Hence to Louisville there is fully eight feet water in
the channel At Louisville, last evening, the river
was stationary with 81 feet water in the canal by the
mark, and a feet large in the pass on the Falls,
entire rise at the foot of the Falls has been about six
feet, which makes eleven feet water in the channel
below the Falls, by the mark, but owing to the
prominence of some of the sand bars we do not think
there are over eight feet water in the channel.
The st. Louis Republican of the oath says:
The river here sweed one inch on Wednesday
night, became stationary yesterday morning and
commenced falling before night The whole rise
amounted to nearly five feet. The Illinois river is
falling between Lasalle and Peoria, and rising little
between Peoria and the mouth. The upper Missis.
sppi is falling slowly from Keokuk down. The Mis-.
souri, sweled about five feet at Omaha and commenced
falling The last arrival reports it falling from Omaha
to the mouth.
The weather yesterday was fine and cool for the
Of activity.
The officers of the Wm. Dickson report Tennessee
river slowly receding, with five feet scant on Big
Bend shoals There had been heavy rains above.
Capt Asa Anns, pilot of the D. A. January, was
badly and it is thought fatally injured by falling into
the hold of the January, while that steamer was at
ST. Joseph on her late trip down the Missouri.
His skull was broken, and piece of it had to be
taken out. He left at St. Joseph under the care
of the best surgeon, of the city. His recovery was
despaired Of.

The Eldridge House.

While in Lawrence recently we ''put up
at this excellent House, kept by the Ell
bridge Brothers, and must confess that We
were considerably surprised at finding so
extensive an institution of the kind in this
far western country. It is fitted up in mod
ern style and is furnished with every luxu-
ry that conduces to the happiness and com
fort of its guests, 1t enjoys the reputation,
and Justly too, of being the best Hotel west
of St. Loxis. The table is always loaded
with the best the country affords, the rooms
are furnished in the latest and best style,
the beds are excellent, the servants obliging
and gentlemanly. and in fact nothing is
wanting to make those who stop at 1.-THE
Eldridge'' feel at home. The Eldridge
Brothers deserve great credit for their en-
ergy and enterprise, and we were glad to
see that their excellent hotel was enjoying
ga good run of custom.'' ~ 2 @

The Gold Mines.

The company which went to the mines
last spring from 142 creek in this county,
have all returned but two. We had talk
few days ago with Mr.. Ward, one of the
company, and man whose word is perfect
ly reliable. He spent six weeks in the mines
in order to fully satisfy himself in regard
to the existence of gold in paying quanti-
ties. He says that about one man in a hun
dred is making it pay expenses, while the
other ninety -nine are making nothing. He
spent some time in the Gregory and Jack
son diggings. Jackson admits himself that
he never took out of his dead" all told,
over $75 worth of dust. It seems that
Gregory and other interested parties sue
ceeded most admirably in humbugging
Horace Greeley. They "salted," or sprin-
killed. gold dust on their ssclaims," and would
then take Horace to see them gather the
same gold they had put into the earth,
thereby making him believe that they were
working. immensely rich diggings. Mr..
w. says that there are hundreds of per-
sons leaving the mines daily, while but
very few are going in. Such is the sub
stance of Mr.. Wards statement.

The Objections.


The Democrats alias Africans in the
Wyandott Conversion refused 10 sign the
Constitution. and viii oppose il 70 the MT
most. They prohounced q ! model instru-
ment in almost every respect but refused
TO sign it for two reasons. LIST, the bounda-
ries do not suit them. end, they dislike
the superintendent for the first Legislature.
As to the boundaries they wished to
keep the Pixies Peak Gold Regions. and to
annex Southern Nebraska Now the idea
of retaining the Gold Region in the new
State is simply absurd There IS a vast
uninhabited and uninhabitable region from
three to FIVE hundred miles in width be-
tween the settlements in Eastern Kansas
and the Gold Region. Hence there will be
little intercourse, and still less community
of interest and feeling. The Miners in the
Gold Region refuse to recognize the Terri,
torial Laws, and are framing a Constitution
for themselves. They will form mining
community, while we are essentially agri-
cultural. The two interests would be adj
verse and conflicting. How can two work
together except they be agreed ?'' ae =
Suppose for moment that the Gold Re-
gions were included in the new State. and
State Convention was. to be held to nomi-
nate candidates, where should. it be held ?
Why it must be upon the Plains among the
Buffalo. and the delegates must sstart off
provisional, armed and equipped for a two
months journey! Members of the Legis-
lature must travel many hundreds of miles,
and the expenses would be enormous |!
Pshaw The whole thing is preposterous.
AS to Nebraska we do not want her. They
have not shared with US IN the dangers of
the past--do not sympathize with US in the
present, and would not in the future. Let
them make free State for themselves.
With regard to the superintendent, it is
only fora single session, after which we
are to have single Districts, based upon the
census now being taken. 1t was proposed
to base the first apportionment on the CEN
sus, and for that purpose to choose by bal
lot three Commissioners to make the ap-
portionment as soon as the census returns
should be received. But THIS ''ths Denaoe-
racy'' acre bitterly opposed to. Their real
objection to the apportionment is that it
does notleave sufficient chance for the ma
,o,aty Of the voters to elect a majority Of
the Legislatures -

Tie Constitution.

We gladly give up our columns this
week to the new Constitution, and ask fol
it careful and candid examination at the
hands of every reader. In our judgement
it is not merely the best of the four framed
for Kansas, but the best in the Union. We
consider it in almost every particular A
MODEL INSTRUMENT. It is moderate and
conservative in it's provisions, clear and
perspicuous in its language, and just to all
sections. We believe it will be found to
be precisely such Constitution as n he
People have been wanting and waiting for.
The opposition to it is purely factious and
partisan. and viii prove to be as impotent
as it is baseless.
+ Neither the Negrophilists, nor the Ne
e grophobists. the "Nigger worshipers" nor
the Devil worshipers, have succeeded in
marring its fair proportions. The negro
and the blood-h hound are both ignored while
the bona tide inhabitants of Kansas will
find in it a safe guard for every right and a
ready means of redress provided for every
grievance. Our most sanguine hopes and
expectations are far more than realized
From the well known ability and integrity
of the members composing the convention
We expected good Constitution, but we
did not expect one so faultless in every
word and every line. We congratulate the
members of the Convention upon their
work. and we congratulate the. people Of
Kansas that the day of their deliverance
from Federal tyranny and misrule is near
at hand! Again We say to all tread tie
