Y. N. NJ. L. A-At a large and enthusi-
astic meeting of the friends and supper 'ers
ofthe ''lndependent'' party, held on Satur-
day, December 20, the following preambe G
and resolutions were unanimously adopted
WHEREAS The cabinet of Shells pur-
chased nearly two years ago under the
auspices of the regular party having not
only given great dissatisfaction to q large
majority of the members of the Association,
but has created debt of over $4, 600, under
the burden ofwhich our cherished institution
is now languishing, tits
"ResolUed: That it is the sense of this
meeting that the purchase of the cabinet OF
shells was very injudicious one, and has
proved detrimental to the interests of the
Young Mems Mercantile Library Associa-
tion.
"Resolved That the Independent party
use their influence and efforts to have this
cabinet disposed of, at the earliest possible
moment, consistent Nth the honor and best
interests of the Association.
"ResoIUed; That immediate action be taken
to have the bond retired, which is now the
only impediment to the progress and pros
perity of our beloved institution"
To this policy the candidates of the I"In-
dependent party" are pledged and committed
and it is the duty of every member who has
at heart the prosperity and welfare of the
Y. NJ. AZ. u. Association, to give them theiI
earnest and cordial support.
By order of the Executive Committee.

RIVER NEWS.

The Ohio continues 10 recede here, having
declined during the twenty four hours, end
ing last evening, about two feet, leaving q
channel-depth at this point, according to the
Water-works report, of over sixteen feet.
AT Pittsburg the River was still falling yes
teTday, with five feet four inches water
there.
The weather continued cold, and it was
freezing hard all day. Business on the
Landing was, as usual, quite dull, only a
few of the boats doing any thing. Freights
were scarce and unchanged as to prices.
The river continued to fall quite fast at
Louisville, with seven feet nine inches water
in the Canal on Sunday evening. During
the previous forty weight hours it Tecedsd ten
inches at the head of the Falls, and nearly
three feet at Portland. The weather was
very cold and heavy ice was made.
The Cumberland, at Nashville, Friday
evening, was falling steadily, with four feet
water on the shoals.
White and Little Red Rivers are both
rising, and there is now water enough in
those streams to admit of the passage of a
John Simonds.
The total rise in Arkansas River will ex-
ceed ten feet-an amount of water during
the present stage of the Mississippi sufficient
to last some time.
A dispatch received in Mobile the other
day states that the steamer Virginia had
sunk on Hancock Shoals, with between two
and three hundred bales of cotton on board,
which is said to have hoated off.
The Mississippi is about stationary at ST..
Louis, with very heavy ice, and prospect
of gorge there. Nothing is doing on the
Levee.

New Developments on Oil creek, and through.

daily. but the very low price Of crude oil has

comparatively few wells are pumping. Flowing

operating, and this class is gradually increasing
in number. A flowing well was opened by

DIVISION OF VIRGINIA.--The Convention
now 10 session at Wheeling is sgaitating the
subject of dividlnd Virginia into two States.
An ordnance on the subject has been report
ed and is being discussed. The question
most likely to embarrass the Convention is
the matter Of boundary. "Some members
the lntelligencer says, 'are disposed to get
es much territory as possble--s few, we
believe prefer the whole State" The ordi-
nance proposes to form a new State out OF
portion of Virginia lying north and west OF
the Alleghany mountains, the line Of division
beginning on the top Of the Clinch noun.
tain, on the line dividing Tennessee and
Virginia. and running thence with the top OF
said mountain, Rich Mountain, &C.. to and on
the county line dividing Fairfax and Prince
William county to the Potomac river. 1t
also proposes to submit the question Of
division to the vote Of the people of oil the
counties included in the new State.
1t is evident that the proposition to erect
n new State now finds favor with nearly oil
the members of the Convention, and the
boundary proposed by the ordinance is the
natural one OF dividing mountain line. IL
