THE WEST RIVER STREET TRoUBLE.-We
announced day or two ago that a row
occurred between the workmen of the At
lantic and Great Western RAILROAD Compa-
ny, engaged in laying the track along
West River street, and the irate residents
on that street.
THE question of the right which the
Railroad Company have to lay track
there was, as we stated on Wednesday,
laid before the City Council on Tuesday
evening, when they directed the proper
officers to look into the legality of the case.
Those officers decided that the Company
were acting in strict accordance with law
and their chartered rights, and, therefore,
that they should proceed with their work.
Anticipating an outbreak, the entire police
force were yesterday morning sent over to
the spot, and under cover of its wing the
rails were laid, and connection made.

Cor FoUL.-As the tug Peter Smith was
towing & schooner up the river yesterday,
she ran the bow-sprit of the vessel into the
rigging of the yacht Unknown" which
was moored just below the lower swing
bridge. The tug was hitched cheek by
jowl with the schooner, and being the
lighter, if not "the weaker vessel" and
they being "unequally yoked together"
the schooner veered around, pressing her
bowsprit sidewise against the mast of the
yacht and came near upsetting the tiny
craft. But the tug backed out of the scrape
without any damage being done.

crowded with soldiers for two or three days.
Hundreds of Michigan and Indiana SOL

home to vote. They are principally from
indiana and Michigan, and every train, Wa
arc informed, brings in from $50 to 200 of
these valiant sons of Mars, who have been
wounded by rebel bullets, or prostrated by
sickness, and who now set their faces home

ballots. I2O soldiers were at the Home on
Wednesday, and more than $50 yesterday.

thanks for This splendid compliment. He
congratulated the crowd on the mighty
reduction of the Abolition majorities, and
declared that one more such "Union" vic

their efforts until Mcclellan is elected.

could they carry oil enough to last through

The audience blngered more for lunch
than haranguo, after he had been holding
forth some hours. They struck up con-

pipes. One exasperated fellow, who bore
