FOur wharf for the past week, in
consequence of the continued rain, has
presented an appearance anything but
inviting to pedestrians. 1t has been lit
orally sea Of floating mud. The large
amount of business now doing by the
Government teams, renders it almost
impossible. With the finest boulders
within sight, easily conveyed by water,
and which would make it the finest
wharf on the river, it is. now perhaps
the worst. If these boulders can be ta-
ken pro6tably to Cincinnati, our corpo-
ration ought to afford those who pay
wharfage at least a foot-path to gel
over. Perhaps our Government Off
cials may be induced to aid US a little
in this matter, which to them during
this winter is likely to be of Importance.
If it be military necessity to erect
warehouses on the public square, to
occupy our market and school houses,
cellars and warehouses, and cover acres
of our town with stabling for worn out
horses, surely they ought to look at our
wharf in the same light. and afford some
material relief in case so msnifestly TO
their own benefit.

industry is well supported. and the

H What's the nrice Of nort t.-dayfi

H What's the price of pork to-day?
This is the question, the answer to
which does not bring a smile upon the
face of the propounder. At s to 81
cents per pound, no maH expects to
make money. For years past it has
not been so low. The reason of it is
apparent to every one. The opening OF
the Mississippi river would cause rise
in the market--nothing else would give
It life. With large stock laid in at
high prices, dealers care little about in
creasing it any further.
The Messrs. Henking have 10000
pounds on hand, on which they must
expect to sustain loss, yet they are
offering to our farmers full Cincinnati
prices.
In view of these facts, those who
have to sell should not complain. il
they get the stop of the market" None
do any better. Whether those who
conclude to salt their pork, and sell in
the spring, will do any better, we are
unable to say. However, the chances
we believe are in their favor.

FLORIDA WANTS ALL HER SoLDIEBs.-

nor OF Florida has refused to allow any
more soldiers to be enlisted for the
"Confederscy," and that all persons en-
listing now to GO out Of the State shall
be ARRESTED. The Governor is evident
ly getting alarmed for the safety of his

Pensacola and our landing at Fernan-
dina would cut the State off entirely
from its sister ConIederates. Florida

be brought back again into the Union.

the result OF intoxication or sheer care.
lessness, on part of the victims.
We heard of one who was so intent
upon appropriating a canvass-backed
ham. that he stepped off the wharI
boat, directly into the water. His body
has not yet been recovered.
Two others, we are informed. were
swept into the river by the action of the
cable in making fast to the wharf. Il
is out of the question to prevent such
accidents. unless BY con6ning the men
in the hold Of the vessel, which in cases
of drunkenness ought always be done
