ing yesterday, with nine and half feet
water there.
The weather was clear, warm and beauti-
ful yesterday, more like Summer than Spring
in semblance and temperature. Business on
the Landing was dull as conveniently could
be, and hardly any freight was offered. The
boats In port from the South seem undeter-
mined as to their return. .a.
Yesterdays Louisville Co,Eisr observes:
The River, we are glad to cay, has COM
menced falling at this point, and at dusk had
fallen two inches. During the day Il had
been stationary, but during the preceding
thirty-six hours it had risen Eve or si2
inches, with over twenty feet steamboat
water on the Falls. That is equal 70 FORTY
eight or forty-nine feet water in the channel
at the foot Of the Falls. The weather has
continued dry, and was quite warm yes
terday.
The River is now Just leaving the curb
street, and II had invaded most Of the cellars
along that locality. The only wharf space
Is above Fourth. street; but as the river is
now Teceding, there can be no damage or
trouble apprehended.
Yesterdays ST. Louis Republican remarks
under date of Sunday evening:
The river here is still falling slowly. The
Illinois river is stationary, and still high.
The Mississippi is rising from ST. Paul TO the
Lower Rapids and is falling slowly from
Qmncy down. There are about six feet water
on the Lower Rapids.
The Missouri river is falling, but in excel
lent stage.
Arrivals yesterday were the Luzerne, Dem
mark, Hannibal City, Canada, Olarabeil and
Northener, from the Upper Mississippi. All
these boats had full cargoes.
Thursdays New Orleans Delta has the fol-
lowing:
The Empire Parish left again last evening
for short trip down to the forts. She
looked very much like a man-of-war, having
three or four heavy guns on her deck and
some of the military above. The Yagoo left
last evening with her own and some of the
4. H. Judson's trip for the Yazoo River. The
Judson has laid up. The Parallel has done
the same, after transferring her trip to the
Arkansas.
The P. E. Bonford reports Red River fall
ing slowly. She also reports the Lecomte
as sunk badly and likely to prove a total
loss. The Telegraph reports the General
Scott as having passed Vicksburg. The
steamer Iberville will leave to. day in place
of the Samuel Hill for Fort Adams. The
Laural Hill will run as a Summer packet to
Cairo.

THE WAR NEWS.
We publish large amount Of news this
week of an unusually alarming and painful
character. AS a consequence of the collision
at Fort Sumter, President Lincoln has ia
augurated civil war, and there is no telling
the end Of it. We believe il has been pre- !.
mediiatedly entered upon. For some time
past we have observed notices of the visits
OF Northern Governors TO Lincoln, with the
apparent view of giving him encourage
ment and assurances of their support, in case
of bis efforts at coercion being resisted,
We have heretofore taken the position
that the Confederate States have the right
to claim the recognition of their indepen-
dence. Asa consequence, we claim their
| right of complete sovereignty over every
foot Of territory within their limits. If they
can not effect the peaeeable surrender oi
the forts within their limits, which they have
already tried in vain to accomplish, they
have the right TO take them by force. Thil
| principle has been adopted and ae5ed upon
by our Government, and We consider itWell

GEN. MCCLELLAN AND FIELD ARrILLE-
RY.-The Washington correspondent of the
New York World, in speaking of the army
of the Potomac, says:
"Across the river field drills of the dozen
brigades and constant artillery practice are
the order of the day. The big guns are all
the time booming from multitudinous in
trenchments, and on the river shores field
batteries are actively maneuvered in every
battle exercise. General Mcclellan is
making the greatest and most unceasing
efforts to enlarge, organize and educate the
artillery corps of the army. The strength
of this all important arm of the service in
creases every hour. am positively in
| formed that there will be no general advance
of the Potomac |column until the com.
mander can take sic hundred cannon with
him, three fourths of which are to be rihed.
One may we'll hope, in view of the limited
ordnance resources Of the rebels, that the
progress of such force will be irresistible.
Mcclellan seems to grasp the idea of the
work before him with that enlarged COM
prehension resulting from ocular study of the
grand modern European campaigns. But he
finds it easier to obtain guns than experienced
men to serve them, and keeps ali artillery
companies and regiments at severe and regu-
lar practice"
On taking command, General Nc CLELLAN
observed that the battles of this war were
to be decided by artillery (six hundred can.
non.) This shows the giant character of the
war. NAPOLEON, in hardly any of his greet
battles, brought into the field such immense
parks of artillery. 1t is unprecedented in
warfare.

The Election.

N1CoLET CoUNTY.--The Republican
county and legislative ticket Was elected by
about $50 majority.
LIE SUEUR CoUNTy.--It is said that the
Democratic State and county tickets were
elected by handsome majorities, and the
majority on the legislative ticket makes it
almost certain that the Democratic candi~
dates are elected in the District which cons
sists of LIE Sueur and Blue Earth counties.
WABAsHAw CoUNTY.-The Republican
State ticket had about five hundred majority
the legislative ticket by somewhat
smaller majority.
RICE CoUNrY.--The Republican ticket
was elected by decreased majority. The
average Republican vote in Faribault last
year was 1872; this year l72. The DEM
ocratic last year was l47; this year the
same. In the towns of Erie and Shields
vile there are 160 Democratic votes and l
Republican.
WINoNA CoUNTY--The entire Republi.
can ticket is elected by majorities ranging
from $50 to 800. p.
All the returns so tar received show that
a very light vote was polled--probabIy one.
third of the voters remained at home.

Hon. Joseph Holt and the Secreta-
Iyship Of War.

A few weeks ago concerted attempt was
made by the radical portion of the Repub-
lican party to drive the Hon. SIMON CAME.
RON from his place as Secretary of War.
The press denounced him in the bitterest
terms as corrupt and inefficient, and at the
same time extolled the Hon. JOSEPH Holt
of Kentucky, as the proper man for the
place. Petitions were gotten up in an un-
precedented manner to the President, ask
ing him to remove CAMERON and appoint
Holt. All this outside pressure the Press
ident steadily resisted, and kept his Cabi-
net entire. We have noticed lately ces.
sation of this warfare upon CAMERON and
Of this eulogy of Mr.. Holt. The Chicago
Post thus explains the reason:
Ten days ago the same honest 10 Holt, in the
fullness OF his patriotism, wrote a letter to the
President condemning a portion of General
Fremont's proclamation, and from that time to
the present all mention of 10 HOlt-hOnest, pa
triotic and incOrruptible 10 Holt--for a seat in
the Cabinet, has ceased Not one of his ex-
travagant admirers would now like to have him
in the government.

New York and the War.

The Superintendent of the United States
Census, at the request of some of the New
York Congressman, has prepared state.
ment showing that the effective arm-bear
ing population of New York is 766,344
men, or equal to the combined military
strength OF Alabama, Arkansas, Florid.
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North and
South Carolina and Tennessee and that
her quota of an army of half million men
would be 100000.
Tbe New York Evening Post remarks
thereupon, that there are $4,000 enlisted
men at the different rendezvous in the State,
or enough to ill up the second requisition
for $4,000 men, issued some time since and
that by the lst of January next it would
undoubtedly be possible to raise a sufficient
number to make, with those in the field, the
total number of. the State, one hundred
Thousand.

Union Sentiment in the South.

The New York Times makes an inter-
esting statement, upon information derived
from gentlemen who have recently come
from North Carolina and Tennessee, con
corning the existence of Union sentiment in
those States. According to this informa
ton, when the news of the capture of Hat =.
teras Inlet was received at Raleigh, the
Legislature being in session, several Union
members rose in their places and cheered
and swung their hats; and many more
people would have gone to Hatteras than
did 60, to take the oath of allegiance to the
Union, had not rebel troops lined the coast.
In the center of Western Tennessee the
feeling is open and strong for the Union
men not hesitating to declare publicly their
hostility to secession, and as general thing
their right to do SO being respected by the
secessionists."
If these things be so, the development is
one of the best that has recently come to
light. The future OF the Union depends
npon how much Union sentiment remains in
the South and how much can be stimulated
by the progress of events 1t can scarcely
be doubted that Union army would to day
be hailed as deliverers by tens Of thousands
of southern people.

Public Condolences

Confidence in the success of Government
in its movements against the Confederate
States, strengthened very much of late by the
unhesitating support of the money power
of the people, is undoubtedly the principal
cause of this revival in the stock market,
but it has received decided impulse also
from the more encouraging business eros.
poets of the country, the heavy export de-
mapd for our cereal products, and the more
favorable traffic returns and cheering pros
poets OF the railway lines connecting with
the West. Whether people are too san
guine in drawing encouragement from these
items, or not, it is an undoubted fact that
hopeful views are popular. and while events
tend to encourage their diffusion, it is not
surprising to witness the expression of this
fresh confidence, in the speculative move
ments of the Stock Exchange.--Neu York
Tribune, Oct. 5, Money article.

Abolitionism is rapidly getting into dis.
favor even in Massachusetts. at the late
Republican State Convention in String
field, CHARLES SUMNER delivered one of bis
intensely Abolition speeches, but, in eff ct,
it fell still born. The Newburyport Herald
(Republican) thus speaks of it:
We don't know how it appears to others,
but it seems to US that if JEFF Davis had liberty
to send his own agent here to d. the worst for
Us, he could have done nothing more
Such men as SUMNER have for years been
working to destroy the Union, that is. their
labors tended to that result, and it will not
be long before the whole country will re-
cognize the fact, if, indeed, it does rot ais
ready.

A correspondent of the st. Louis Repub.
hcan, writing from Washington, thus de-
scribes the effect OF care upon Mr.. Lincoln:
You must see the President to have any
adequate conception of how dreadfully the
heavy complication of cares which have
thickened around him have exhausted even
his immense physical powers. See him
and then you will have very vivid con.
ception of tired giant. See him and you
will have some idea how Atlas looked just
after be had lifted the world upon bis shout
ders. One never thinks of the immense
mental labor and haunting care that has
accumulated so heavily since bis Inaugural,
ton. If you saw him then, you should see
him now; and if you ever thought it a
pleasant thing to be President you will i'm.
mediately abandon that very extravaganza
idea.

Fight Between Tom Sayers and Jen
Mace--Sayers she Victor.

From the Spirit of the Times,
We learn, from q gentleman who arrived
by the steamer City of New York, that
the celebrated ex-champion and the almost
equally renowned champion have had
"turn up in the bar room of hotel ID
Lime street, Liverpool, very recently. Our
informant states that Jem Mace, who is or
was at the time, under an engagement with
Pablo Fanque's circus troupe, met Sayers,
who is also engaged with another travelling
circus, Howe & Cushings) in Liverpool
Ii IS well known that TOR long time past
latent spirit of hostility and jealous rivalry
has existed between the two pugilistic lu-
mlnaries, and that this feeling has been in~
creased, if not actually engendered, by the
openly expressed contemptuOus estimation
of the ex>champion for Mace's pugilistic
abilities and science. The challenge which
Mace threw out to the gallant Tom, after
the latter's pubicy announced retirement
from the prize ring, coupled with the well
known fact that the handsome annu-
ity (accrung from the munifcent fund of
subscriptions which had been the reward of
his galantry in his contest with Heenan)
which he now enjoys, would be forfeited If
he again entered the ring, has added fuel to
the previously existing fire of animosty be-
tween them. Their meeting accidentally in
a bar-rOOm, one evening, in Liverpool,
where both of the respective circus troops
were exhibiting, and the mutual recrimina.
tions which ensued, naturally led from
"war of words" to one of blows. Both
men "peeled on the spot, and the specta,
tors enjoyed the intensely exciting specta-
Gle of the champion and eX. champion of
and severity that only deepIy~rooted per-
sonal luminosity can produce. We are told,
and can readily believe that the fight was
an unusually interesting one. Mace, in
consequence of his regular and temperate
habits, was in far the best condition.; oayers
beng, as is we'll known, considerable of a
bon cfUant, with strong partiality for in-
dulging in conviviality, company, and late
hours. His indomitabe bull dog courage,
tremendously powerful hitting and thorough
practical knowledge Of fighting, at last
enabled him to gain decisive victory over
the champion. After half aD hours hard
and very fast shting, terrific bit from the
"auctioneer on the throat, knocked Mace
all aboard, and unable to come again to the
scratch. As soon as it was over, Tom was
among the first in endeavoring to bring his
gallant opponent round, all his animosity
having evaporated on the defeat of his an
tagonist. Sayers himself did not escape
unscatbed, as Mace repeatedly visited his
" deal with his dangerous lett, making his
mark very legibly, while Tom showed
that bis right hand had not forgot its cum
ming, by the execution done on his OPP
ponent.

) The Death OK the War Horse.

From Wilkes Spirit. #1.
Very 6ne things have been said and
painted about the death of the stag, tie
death of the boar, and kindred subjects but
much more terrible and impressive is the
death of the war horse. The war steed is
noble as he pawefh in the valley and re-
joiceth in his strength" He is fearful in
the pride of his onset snoring and trampling
like the White Horse of Hengst 10 the
front of battle, and rushing with his rider
through the fiery turmoil OF the laundering
fight!
Neigh in thy pride, my courser brave.
Trample beneath thine hoof tyrant and slave!
But be is most terrible in bis grandeur, as
he "saith among the trumpeJs, Ha i! ha !"
his fury rose by mortal stroke When
that young and gallant soldier, Col Wills
liam ii. Lytle, left Cincinnati, at the head
OF the Tenth Ohio regiment, certain of his
friends, readers of W,ike's Spirit of the
lines, presented him with splendid black
charger. That he was as fine horse for
martial purposes as ever reveled In the pas
lures of Ohio or old Kentucky, we were
assured at the time, and we believe It for
we knew the man who had selected him-a
dealer ut to have bought and sold Bucepha-
lus himself. This horse Colonel Lytie rode
In the late battle on the Gauley River, 10
western Virginia, where Floyd defended
his intre~ chments until dark, and then fed
with precipitation under cover of the night.
Then and there the noble black charger
died sin harness." while his gallant rider
fell before the enemy's embrazures, stricken
with severe, but happily not mortal wound.
With ringing shout and bloody spur, and
saber iourshed high, the Colonel was lead
ing on his valient men to charge FOyd's
lntrenchments, when shot struck his leg
and passed into the body of his horse Almost
upon the parapet they were. The wounded
leg had lost its clip, and with mad bound
into the air the steed threw his rider. Still
with his front to the cannons of the foe,
yelling. up life blood and sporting with
freDzied fury, the war horse made another
bound or two, cleared at one last leap the
parapet of the intrenched camp. and falling,
died inside.
The foe, with boundess admiration at the
chlvalrous courage of the man, thought they
had killed him; and then dividing his pis-
tolls and accoutrements among their officers,
lamented the death of bis gallant black
horse.
