bSilcCfdtS- tuTll OUT!
The WIGwvM.-The publication of a re-
publican campaign paper under the above
MAMIE has been commenced in this CITY.
by cLACDiUs T. KING, Esq If the first
number Is a fair specimen of those to sue,
ceed it, the IF.g,eam will prove a formida-
bic campalgner. The editorials are ably,
spiritedly, yet courteously written. The
publication OF such a paper has been
found necessity, we presume, on account
OF the weak, wiShy-washy character of the
Ottawa R,1ohhca,a and for the same rea-
son will, We have no doubt, be literally
supported 10y the Republicans of the
county.
a NUISANCE ABATED.-For q month or
two past, we are informed, the respectable
denizens of a quarter Of our city in the vi
cinty Of the tannery, have been annoyed
by couple Of houses Of i'll fame in their
midst. They were inhabited by half a
dozen of the yilest cyprians, and visited
daily and nightly by abandoned men. All
attempts 10 rid the neishborhood of the
nuisance by legal means having failed, on
Tuesday night, number of respectable
citizens turned out and proceeded against
the establishments ri It armis-that is,
they drove the occupants away bv main
force, and battered the houses with stones
and brick bats 50 as TO leave them untena-
bic This gentle hint proved efiicacious
The parties came back next morning
gathered up Their traps, took them to the
depot, and by evening, were of
for another and more genial locality.

RIVER NEWS.

The weather has been extremely inclem-
ent since our last issue, the rain having
fallen from about two o'clock yesterday
morning, almost uninterruptedly, until nine
o'clock last evening--the hour at which we
write-causing the river to come to a stand
at this point, and to be swelling at present,
with the prospect of rise of two or three
perhaps several more-feet. At the Landing
nothing was doing yesterday, of course.
Some sixteen or eighteen steamers were
lying there, bound for different ports, most
of them partially laden. .ta ~ ca
From the upper ports, as we'll as Louis
vile and New Orleans, we have no later ad-
vices thanit those we have already given.
The Mississippi River at st. Louis, at last
accounts, was falling at the rate of one inch
in twenty-four hours, with five and half
feet to Cairo. Business was pretty fair at
st. Louis, and the weather fine.
The channel below Cairo is improving
from the rise in the Ohio River, and boats
have had but little trouble at Island 34
The Illinois River is falling, with twenty
two inches in the channel below Peoria, and
twenty inches above.
The Upper Mississippi is receding, with
thirty inches on the Lower Rapids, and four
and half below Keokuk. -Ft.
The Missouri River is declining, with scant
three feet in the channel between Weston
and the mouth

DISTINGUISHED CoMPosIToRs IN CALIFoR-
MA PRINTING OFF1OR.-The San Francisco
correspondent of the New York Times writes
of the compositors in a newspaper Office in
that city:
In little Office where they employ but
fourteen men, paused the other day, while
the foreman, himself an ex-publisher of
fine family of dailies, pointed out his fa-
nous men. That stout man was a Lieuten-
ant in SteVenson's regiment. He was printer
on a paper in this town before the gold dis
covery was made, and used, to go fishing
with General Vallejo. That one owns a
fine rancho on the Sacramento River, on
which there is, this year, a noble crop Of
squatters. He was formerly partner on one
of our papers here, for which Broderick
offered 100000. He is fabulously old, but
he made twenty-six hours work and wages,
not long since, in twenty-four consecutive
hours. There is one who was partner in the
State printing when, for setting Spanish
copy the Legislature allowed double price,
and never discovered that the State printers,
with generous construction, took double
wages for Spanish press-work also. The
next man is the worthy brother of mem
Der of Congress from close by New York
during the last four years. He was for
merly engaged in publishing a daily that
still lives here. The next is Doctor, and
was partner on the Chronicle when il was
worth $4,000. The next is a Judge from
one of the Western States. He has shin
gle up and dses some law, but likes type
setting better, and suits his fancy with
either, as either business presses most and
pays best.
