parties along the river that nearly all the
freight which has been brought to this city
by river for transshipment this season, has
been secured through the personal exer-
tons of the firm Of Shoemaker d Co.,
who, with most commendable energy yisi
ted all the towns along the river and Sc
cured the large amounts of freight which
have been landed at our wharf during the
season.
These gentlemen are agents for two Of
the best routes East-thc Indianapolis aud

for Liverpool, Thursday noon. Every birth
on board, even to the officers state rooms,

by small party of friends, with tremend.

RIVER NEws.-The steamer Science from
Pittsburg reached this place on Saturday
night and, after landing a large lot of
freight, departed for ports above. The
Science is neat aud substantial little boat,
entirely new, and is admirably adapted to
the Wabash trade.
We suggest that if the association which
has been talked of shall be constituted for
the navigation of this river, that the
Science will be the very boat for the trade.
With sufficient tonnage, light draught
aud respectable speed, she would be able
to continue the trade until the very lowest
water prevails.
Let those interested think of this mat
ter.
The Aida came down on Sunday eve-
ming with full load of corn dc. Just af-
ter passing through the drawbridge she
grounded. and in her efforts to get off she
swung on to some logs aud stove hole in
her hull and broke her wheel to some ex-
tent. She got off after some time and
reached her landing, leaking considera-
bly,.
She WINS thoroughly repaired yesterday,
and left last evening for ports above.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

great unwashed" Douglas Democracy Of

the necessity of keeping back the "North-

with such case, ain Eruption upon her Of

it would never be thought, by respecta

Mr.. Bates LETrER.-The Democratic
papers all over the land are just now en-
gagged in giving their views IN relation to
the recent letter of Judge Bates. Ofcourse
they all agree in one thing, namely, that

nomination; but this is the only point OF
agreement. No two of them give the same
reasons for not liking the letter
We suggest that they send each copy
