n|THE RIVER The river is now about
at a stand with four feet water in the chan
uel. The boats are all waiting for more
water. The Pittsburg Gazette of yester-
day says:
The river was swelling slowly last even
ing at this point, with four feet two inches
by the pier marks, and about three feet
and a half at Glass house Ripple. 1t is
thought that the recent showers will pro.
duce rise of anoiher foot, which will
make about five feet. The weather yester-
day was cloudy and warm, with an occa-
sional shower of rain.

that there will be sufficient water to admit

B@@ BATHING IN THE RIVER. Several
citizens residing on the Island and on Wa
ter street have requested US to call atten-
ton to the open infractions of the city or
dinances that are daily and nightly wit
messed. The river is constantly swarming
with half grown boys who expose them.
selves without the slightest regard to de-
cency or propriety, and besides they offend
the ears of quiet people by all sorts ofpro-
fame and vulgar language. The city ordi-
nance makes it the duty of the police to
arrest all persons found bathing iu the
river within the corporate limits before a
certain hour in the evening. There can
certainly be no objection to bathing in the
river after night fall. The practice is rather
commend ,ble than otherwise, and these
warm days the cool water is very enticipg
to both men and boys; but in performing
their ablutions strict regard should be
paid to decency.
We understand that the police intend to
enforce the ordinance from this time for
ward.

EB A vIsIr TO THE JAIt.-Yesterday,

NY A VISIT TO THE JAIL.-Yesterday,
Lewis Jones, the new jailOr, took charge OF
the Ohio county Jail, and in company with
Sheriff SeyboId, visited the cells of all the
prisoners. The first of all visited was that
of Connolly, charged with stealing horse.
This man, a few nights ago, attempted to
remove stone from the building and make
his escape, but found the walls about three
feet thicker than he supposed. He was in
formed that if he ever attempted such a
trick again he would be put in irons. The
prisoners were all warned that any attempt
to escape or dis6gure the walls would be
severely punished. Collins, charged with
the murder of Lewis, upon receiving the
warning, said he would certainly behave
himself, aud asked the privilege. which
was granted, of being allowed to consult
with his spiritual adviser in the Irish Lam
guage. Wells, charged with the murder of
Clancy, is the most genteel looking young
man in the establishment, and is very Or
Derby and well behaved. We encountered
a bright, Intelligent looking boy. about
twelve years of age, who, upon being asked
what he was put in for, replied, "I've
stolen ham s:der false pretences." He
was the recipient of some good advice and
fine tooth comb.
In one of the debtors rooms there is a
young woman by the name of Miss Reed,
held by the United States authorities. She
says she was arrested at Buckhanuon some
weeks ago for helping to make and raise
rebel flag. She seems to be very intel
ligent young woman and is rather pre-pos-
sessing. She says her father is respect
able citizen of Barbour county who knows
nothing of her present whereabouts, and
she is unable to communicate With him
She took occasion to say that she could
not wash her own clothes as she had never
been accustomed to anything of the sort,
and that her chief objection to being 10
prison was that it was "kind "a low"
One side of the upper story of the Jail
is occupied almost exclusively by women
of the town who have been callaboosed for
street walking and other minor offences.
They come out of their cells and occupy
the hall tall in huddle together" They
were all dressed more with regard to cool
ness and economy that to neatness or clean
liness. The Jail is well patronized by such
characters the whole year round and they
cost the city, annually, no uncomfortable
sum.

REBEL WOMEN.

Tho army correspondent Of the Chicago
Journal (Abo, in one Of his letters from
Tennessee, says:
shall never be done admiring the pa
triotic and undyng devotion Of the wo.
men of the land, but | must tell you that
the rebel women Of the South are worthy
in everything but sacred cause of their
Northern sisters There is nothing they
will not surrender with smile; the GEM
med ring, the diamond bracelet, the rioh
wardrobe. They cut up their rich carpets
for soldiers blankets without q sigh; they
take the fine linens from their persons
for the bandages.
When 1000 Of Longstreeps men came
up to Nashville, prisoners of war, about
the toughest, dirtiest and widest set of
fellows the sun ever shone on, and = flight
Of stairs in the building they occupied fell,
killing and wounding q large number of
them, you should have seen the fair young
traitoresses come forth from the old aristo-
cratic mansions, bearing restoratives and
delicacies in their hands, mingling in the
dingy crowd, wiping away the blood with
their white hankerchiefs, and utterine
words of cheer; you should have seen
them doing this, with hundreds OF Union
soldiers al around, and smiling back upon
the rough blackguards of rebels az they
! left. But in all this there was defiant
air, pride in their humanity strange to
see. OF truth they carried it off grandly.
And almost all those girls were in mourn
ing for dead rebels, brothers, lovers and
| friends, whom tEosc oanao Sirlo had sneer-
ed into treason and driven into rebellion,
and bilowed all the South with their
graves, and the least they could do was
TO wear black for them and faunt black
from the window blinds. Clothed be
their souls IN sackcloth / said they
were worthy of their sisters in the North
in all but righteous cause, but said
wrong. There is bitterness. there arc
glimpses of the Pythoness, that makes
you shrink from them. But they are
fearfully in earnest; they are almost grand
in their seif-sacrifce. Oh, that they were
true and loving daughters Of the dear old
flag.
So writes an Abolition correspondent
Did he ever reflect that Abolition procls-
nations, coniscation acts, and the position
of the Abolition party that there shall be
no Union except with the final oblitera-
ton of slavery, have made those Southern
women so bitter and acknowledgements

not average one-balfa bale to the acre.
The scheme itself, so far as it is intend
ed TO be carried out by inexperienced parties
at the North, is failure; and il is not on
ly failure but according 10 the theory
of its friends, it is emiHently unjust to
the poor negroes. 1t proves nothing.
If il was intended to show that the negro
is as profitable working for hire as work

in hand have not this object in view. II
the object was, as | supposed it to have
been, to show that the negro is a self-sup-

ment of free will and has been made {

AN OLD LADIES ADVICE TO HER
SoN-"Now, John, listen to me-I'm
older than you, or ! couldn't be your
mother. Never do you marry a
young woman, before you have con
trived to happen to be around four or
five times before breakfast. You
should know how late she lies in bed
in the mornig. You should take no.
tice whether her complexion is the
same in the morning as in the even
ing, or whether the wash and towel
have robbed her Of her evening bloom.
You should take care to surprise her,
so that you may see her in her morn
ing dress, and observe how her hair
looks when she is not expecting you.
If possible, you should be where you
can hear tho morning conversation
between her and her mother. If she
is ill-natured and snappish to her
mother, so she will be to you, depend
on it, But if you find her up and
dressed neatly in the morning, with
the same smiles, the neatly combed
hair, the same ready and pleasant
answers to her mother, which charac-
torized her department in the even
ing, and particularly if she is lending
hand to get the breakfast IN good
season, she is a prize, John, and the
sooner you secure her to yourself
the better

To secure an equitable distribution of this
