The Ohio continues 70 recede here, though
much more slowly than ithas been declining,
having fallen during the twenty-four hours
ending last evening some seven inchesoniy;
making, according to the Water works
report a channel-depth at this point Of over
twenty-nine feet. The River at Pittsburp
was rising yesterday, with eight and a half
feet water there.
The weather yesterday was q counterpart
Of that Of Monday clear, bright and delight
ful, though cool for the season.
Business on the Landing remained stag
nant, and only two or three boats were re-
ceiving freight, the rates of which were nom.
inal.
The River at Louisville was rising on
Monday, with eleven feet six inches in the
Canal in the evening. During Sunday night
it fell a few inches. The weather was rather
clear and cool on Monday evening.

Yesterdays st. Louis Democrat remarks
Heavy and continuous rains having fallen
for three or four days, yesterday the weather
was very fine, aud the river on the rise in a
lively msnner. According to the City Engi-
neer. the rise in forty-eight hours ending
at ten A. NJ. yesterday, was two feet, and
from that hour until dusk il swelled about
half a foot more.
The rise is probably from both the Missouri
and Upper Mississippi. The former, at last
accounts, was very low, and full of obstruc-
tons to navigation. Several boats lately
stuck on the bars.
The Illinois is still on the decline, and has
now thirteen feet on the bars.
Business was dull enough on the Wharf
yesterday, and is gradually decreasing in
Importance. Dispatches we're received by
the Memphis packet office, advising them Co
send no more boats South at present.

Military Life az Fort mcHenry.

MAJOR Devon's Third Battalion of Rifles is
at Fort McHenry. A letter published in the
Worcester (Mass.) Spy gives in brief a picture
Of camp life there:
The fort we are in is on a point a mile or
two from Baltimore, and occupies some
thirty-fve acres of ground, with a beautiful
parade ground, all of which is inclosed with
a brick wall about ten feet high. The fort
mounts about sixty heavy guns, all of which
are double shotted with grape and canister,
pointing, most of them, at the city. There
are three large furnaces for heating hot shot,
also mortars and she'll in abundance, besides
ammunition and provisions, and men enough.
Sundays we have no drill, but go through
inspection of arms, which occupies about an
hour; our arms have TO be in good shape, or
we hear from Colonel Goodhue.
We had orders, last night, to sleep with
u equipments on, and be prepared Cor an
attack from the Toughs of Baltimore. So we
piled into the straw with our rjfes by our
side ready for any callars. Orr men are all
lively and in good spirits, AID don't believe
days we have three ho5rs' drill. No private
is allowed TO leave tie fort. Every day ten
of our men are chosen for guard duty OF
twenty.tour bSurs it Is done by going on
two hours cad off four, making actual service
Of eight bOurs. The remainder Of the sixteen
is spent at the guard house in the fort. Our
meals at first were rather poor, but now we
have plenty and of good quality. am agree
ably disappointed in the service expected of
me, and have not any fault to find.

BENEVOLENT SocIEfY.-The German Ben
evolent Society of Newport, at its last meet
ing, elected the following officers; Peter
Breith, President; John Bengel, Vice-Presi-
dent; Henry Heise, First Secretary; Jacob

L. SCHOOL MATTERs.-We stated the other
day that if the public schools were continued,
the teachers would be obliged to receive
orders for pay, to be cashed on the receipt
of the next fnstallment Of the school fund,
which would probably arrive in ninety days.
AT an informal meeting, yesterday, they
agreed TO continue their services until the
close of the year, unless driven 70 do other
wise by absolute necessity. If gentlemen
who have funds would be kind enough TO
cash some of them at reasonable rates, there
would be 30 difficulty. AS IN examination
is 10 take place in the course of four weeks,
Mr.. Massey, Superintendent would be pleased
to see a large attendance at the school before
that time.

The People of kentucky Dissatisfied with
Governor MREOmu's Response TO the

Governor MaGOmu,s Response TO the
Legislature.
The Louisville (Ky.) Journal observes;
Governor Magoffiu must know that the
people are not satisfied with his response to
the resolution of the Legislature calling for
his answer to the dispatch from the Secre-
tary OF War of the Southern Ooufederacy.
He says that he did not consider that dis
patch asking him to raise troops in Kentucky
for the Southern Government as official.
Let him explain why he don't consider it
official. The authorities of the United
states called upon him for troops, and the
authorities of the Confederate States called
upon him for troops, and what right had he
TO consider the one official and the other
pot2 Dosen't he know that, in both cases.
il was his position as Governor, and not his
standing as citizen Msgotiin, that caused the
APP ~jcations to be made to him2
But the Governor tells the Legislature that
no copy of his answer to the Secretary of
Wa of the Southern Contederacy has been
preserved. Well, the members of the Leg
islature can not be such simpletons as not to
to know that, if he had no copy of his au-
swer at the time he said he had not, the only
reason was that he deliberately DESTROYED it
the moment be found that he was likely to
be called on for it. He must have burned it
or torn it in pieces TO get an excuse for not
exposing it to the public gaze aud scrutiny.
The idea Of his having deemed his answer
to such a~nimportant requisition as that made
on him by the Southern Confederacy too
Insignificant to be. copied and kept, when it
is notorious that be keeps copies of his whole
correspondence with prominent men, is too
absurd to be entertained by any respectable
man. ..
The Governor could have given a copy OF
the answer he sent to Montgomery ifhe had
been willing 10 do so. He was not willing.
He knew that his answer, if published, would
disgust the people of the State Ii he has
prudently destroyed his copy of It, he knows
very well that he can, in a few hours, obtain
another from Montgomery, unless, indeed,
he has telegraphed there 10 have the origin al
destroyed. Now we have one question to
put TO his Excellency. Is his Excellency
willing that ace shall publish his answer to
the Southern Secretary of War-if we can ?

As a member of the Young Mems Mercsu-
tile Library Association, aud a constant
reader in the neWs-room, / must protest
against the closing Of the rooms of the as
sociation for fifteen days as ordered by the
Directors, In ordinary times it has only
been the custom 10 close the rooms for the
purpose of renovation for a week, and it is
singular the time should be increased, when
the exciting state of affairs renders the de.
sire for news so much greater than in ordi-
nary times. II seems to me that the me- VS.
files could be removed to the Library Room,
while the cleaning is going on, aud removed
: back again when the cleaning Of the Library
Room is commenced. At least the MEM
evening when no cleaning is going on, at
which time, moreover, a majority of the
members can only find time to read.

Newspaper delivery Clerk in the Postofice
in the most satisfactory and efficient man

tirement from that responsible post. We are

it twill be difficult to supply his place. The
newspaper fraternity, we feel confident, will
miss him much, as he has been courteous and
obliging beyond the demands of his duty.

Lowing:
i. The South is full of secret emissariey.
Detailed reports of all our preparations are
regularly transmitted to the enemy. The
Spy and the ~incendiary are about our homes

Six fires q night is a moderate average for
these casualties in Richmond. John Browns
men are abroad. 1t was stated recently in
Northern papers that Knights of the Golden
Circle had made good an organization for
burning all the chief Northern cities.
The story was, Of course, a falsehood; but
the falsehoOd was invented for a purDose.
The meaning of the story was this that
the North intended to burn our towns. and
they wanted to say that this diaboIicaI
policy was retaliatory. When that shame.
less enemy imputes a brutal intention to the
South, we know that the very mischiefs i'm
puted are preparing for us.
The Christian North-the philanthroplc,

more infamy in a month than all history can

There are now, as nearly as it can be esti-

awaiting them, 10 spring to the post Of
danger at the word of Jefferson Davis.
Within eight days time, at the farthest, he
can concentrate $4,000 of these men-the
best soldiers in the world-at any point on
the Northern border, and hurl this splendid
army like an avalanche on the foe. II the
battle ground be in Virginia or Maryland, as
it probably will, the grand army of the Con-
federacy will be doubled or trebled by the

are now on the move, or will be in twenty
