RIVER NEWS.

The river is about at stand here and
is falling rapidly above, with prospect
of further decline.
The weather is glorious in this region,
bright, clear and warm. Overcoats are
thrown aside, fires are eschewed, except
for cooking, the binds are ready to burst
and the birds are warbling their sweetest
notes.
Business on the levee was quite lively
on Sunday and yesterday, though most
of the freight was handled by the packets.
The following boats have passed up
since Saturday night;
Emerald, Izetta, Diamond. Henry Fitz
Hugh, Glendale, Belfast Jewess, Alice
Dean, Commercial, Horner, Imperial,
Diadem
Those passing down were the J. B.
Ford, Arizona, Shenango, Nashville.
The Charley Bowen, when about FIVE
miles below the city on Saturday, discov-
cred that she could get no water in her
boilers, rounded to, pumped up by hand,
and returned to the city about s o'clock
Saturday night.
The engineers went to work at once to
discover the cause, and after overhaul
ing the engines at 8 o'clock on Sunday
morning discovered blind joint in her
pipes. Whether this was caused by an
oversight or per..malicious intent, future
investigation will determine.
If it was by intent, the guilty party
should be held to strict account
The Bowen left at IL clock on Sum
day.
The gallant Courier arrived at ten
o'clock on Sunday, loaded to the guards
and with large barge in tow loaded
with pork from Uniontown, being the finest
trip ever brought to this city.
The Courier left at half-past o'clock,
making the run from opposite the foot of
Locust street around the point in 5min-
utes and . seconds, being by 25 seconds
the quickest run of any of the packets,
and confirmed our judgement in regard
to the relative speed of the packets. The
Courier is entitled to the horns
The Little Grey Eagle, detained for
repairs to her chimneys, did not arrive
until noon yesterday. She left here late
last evening.
There will be no packet from Louis
vile to-day.
: The Cordelia Ann, Gen. White, D. B.
Campbell, and Ollie Sullivan arrived out
of Green river during Sunday night and
yesterday, the first two with excellent
trips.
The Bowen is properly due here to-
day, but may not probably arrive in time
to leave until tomorrow, in consequence
of her detention here last Saturday
night. Listen for her whistle and give
her big trip out.

Is there no Remedy?

Most of the boys in Evansville are lit
tie gentlemen, an honor to their parents,
and an ornament to the city. But there
is class ofvagabond boys in our midst
who have become public nuisance.
Their principal employment, is to tres
pass upon private and public property
to break windows, bedaub houses with
mud, brighten horses of citizens and
strangers, write vulgar sentences in the
vestibule of churches-steal umbrellas
insult small girls and ladies on the
streets, with revolving profanity and OBJ
senity, and act the hog generally.
If their parents will not restrain them,
should not the City Fathers" do it, and
and if they cannot do it, would it not be
we'll for citizens to resort to an infalIible
remedy known as the I" oiI Of hickory"
We venture an opinion, that this com
munity will not longer quietly submit 10
such an intolerable nuisance. Bows
look out! A. CITIZEN.

Wrecks of HumanitS---Why Should
They Sink?

The excitement of "the chase" has
always been supposed to have health
full tendency; but there is a kind of
chase which breaks down the constitu-
ton, debilitates the frame, and shortens
life We mean the headlong, uninter-
hitting hunt after "the almighty dol
lar, which is the great business charac-
terlstic of the present day. 1t begets
other evils unnecessary to name) which
precipitate the fate of thousands There
is, however, possibility of recovery
from the prostration produced by these
causes, long after the victim has ceased
to hope for it. If we are rightly inform
ed, the most astonishing cures of what
is called general weakness and debility
which have ever. been known in this
country have been effected through the
agency of Doctor HoLLowAY's ines
Unable remedies. Mere skeletons of
men, out of whom the very principle
OF vitality seemed to have been drained,
have been restored to health and vigor
by the operation of the Pills; and of the
Ointment, in cases Of Paralysis, rheuma-
tlsm, DC, we hear an equally favorable
account. If men riU break down their
energies by over exertion-if, in their
anxiety to Ego ahead" they soiU over
ride the most precious of God s blessings,
health--it is well they should know how
to repair the mischief when they come
at last to realize the fact of their prema-
ture decay. The wrecks of humanity,
who, without any particular disease, APP
pear to be sinking. from mere eXhaus-
ton, would find without doubt, imme-
date relief from DR.. Holloway's RENE
dies.-PhL Tribune.

British Aid and Comfort to our Ene-
mics by the Construction of Ships
0f-War for them i'm British Ports,
and the Remedy.

EDS. JOURNAL - Our Government,
through Mr.. Adams, our Minister at
London, is probably taking steps to pre-
vent the sailing of the fleet of war yes
sells now being built by British subjects
in British ports for the Confederate
States, under the name of the emperor
of China" But, Judging from the past,
l doubt very much whether its efforts
will prove effectual, or whether all is be-
ing done by the Government which it
can and ought to do.
Let the Government show how much
in earnest on this all-inportant subject
by Immediately sending out an Envoy
Extraordinary authorized to urge our
claims for the strict enforcement of
treaty stipulations in this respect, even
~ -r,,i,,.r
of diplomatic relations in case of failure
And let the Envoy be empowered to pur-
chase every one of the vessels built for
this new Emperor of China" which
can be of service to our Government.

MORE PRAY1NG-A BAD SIGx-The
9th inst. has been appointed by Cotton
ade JEFF. as a day of fasting and prayer
throughout his Confederacy." We think
the fasting injunction superfuous, in
view of the scarcity Of provisions in the
South. The praying part, however, is
good sign, for it shows that jeff again
considers his cause in bad way. After
the loss of Forts Henry, Donelson, Ro-
anoke Island, Nashville, &c, he appoint
ed a day of fasting and prayer, and an
other after the loss of New Orleans and
Norfolk, and so on. 1t is evident jeff is
again in despairing state of mind. But
praying will not relieve him from the
visions of the terrible times of trial, fire
and birthstone, &C., that are soon to be
realized 10y him, and no mistake.-Ne,c

of the Ledger's returning sanity. Our

the Vlncennes Gazette, was thrown from

IA From the officers of the Fannie
Barker, which arrived here yesterday
from Nashville, we learn that the rumors
of contemplated attack on Fort Donel-

The Fannie Barker left Fort Donelson
at ten o'clock on Sunday morning, and
at that time all was quiet and peaceful
at that point. There was a force there
sufficient to hold the place against twenty
thousand rebels, and there were no ex-
pectations, much less fears, of any attack

BULLY FOR THE FIRST INDIANA CAV
ALRE-A friend in this celehrvted regi-
'ment has forwarledito us = letter, which
we received Saturday, enclosing SO
names as subscribers to the Weekly
Journal, accompanied by the cash. At
ter returning thanks to US in behalf of
Col Wood and the regiment for the pa
pers we have from time to time sent the
boys, he says: "Soldiers may be, and
often are, pretty hard cases, but ingrati-
tude is not one of their failings, and it
does not take them long to discover who
is the real friend of the soldier"
The Journal has never done more
than its duty by the bravs men who are
fighting its battles in the slckly South;
if it has at all times discharged its obli-
cations to those gallant gentlemen.
We trust the First Cavalry will accept
our thanks for their liberal subscription,
and we need not assure them that we
always have, and always will watch their
conduct in the camp and field, with un-
mixed satisfaction, and are always proud
to recognize them as Indianians.

B@ 1t may do no harm, says the
Rochester Union, to give the following
as remedy for scarlet fever, upon the
authority of one who has seen it tried re-
peatedly, and without failure in a single
instance: He says that poultice made
of the common burdock boiled in milk,
and applied to neck of the patient, will
cure the scarlet fever. The earlier it is
applied the better, but he says that it has
effected cure in cases where physicians
have abandoned the patient as beyond
hope of cure.

A PART OF THE EvIDENCE.-The Lou
isville Journal, a few days ago, charged
unujustly, as We maintain, that the Re-
publican and Union papers of the North
were giving encouragement to the rebels
by exposing the reasonable acts and
teachings of the Vallandigham and Voor-
hees Democracy of the Northwest.
But few Union papers find their way
into the rebel States, and the Southern
press is careful never to quote from the
few that do find their way into the Con-
federacy We receive, almost daily,
Southern papers, and we have yet to see
the first quotation from them that has
the slightest tendency to give them aid
and comfort
1t is different with the Cincinnati En-
quirer, Chicago Times, and papers of
like character, especially when endorsed
as loyal by the Louisville Journal
These papers are largely quoted, and the
speeches of the great guns of the cop
perhead Democracy are published at
length, with comments expressing the
great satisfaction these speeches and
editorials give the rebels.
Nearly every secessionist in Kentucky
takes the Cincinnati Enquirer, and man.
age to send it to their friends in the
Southern army.
The Petersburg Express contains the
following:
The disaffection in the Northwest in
creases in magnitude each day. The
Cincinnati Enquirer of the 9th confirms
this, and says that over 100 Democratic
meetings have been held in Illinois and
Iadiana, at all of which resolutions were
passed in favor of an armistice and stop
page of the war Volunteering, says
the Enquirer, has ceased, and no re-
cruits can be had.
