River News.

The river continues to decline here
and the weather is clear and cool. At
Cincinnati the river is rising with q feet
in the channel, and at Pittsburg it is
falling.
Business here for the last few days has
been very lively with large arrivals and
considerable freight loading and unload
ing
Cox & Humphreys wharfboats have
been filed full of freight for several days
but was cleaned out to some extent yes
terday by the w. C. Mann and other
Memphis boats
The Tarascon took out nice trip yes
terday morning, including cabin full of
passengers who availed themselves of the
opportunity of travelling with those
model officers and gentlemen, Captain
Bunce and Geo Williams.
The Maria Denning loaded here all
night Sunday night and went out yester-
day morning, drawing 9 feet water She
is in the Government service, and goes
to Nashville.
The General Anderson went out at Il
o'clock yesterday, with good trip.
The big Atlantic passed up last night
from New Orleans, with splendid
cargo, AMI full Of people.
We refer our business men, and the
public generally, to the card of Capt
Dexter, to be found elsewhere. We
shall refer to the Importance of this err
terprise at future time
The swift-winged Liberty No. will
be here this evening for Memphis She
is one of the fastest and most elegant
boats afoat, and Capt Wes Conner and
Mr.. Harry Walker have no superiors as
accomplished gentlemen and attentive
officers. Capt J. B. Hall will receive
freight for the Libsty.
The Cordelia Ann took a cargo and
several passengers up to SpottsviIle last
evening; to connect with the Dunkerson.
We had the pleasure on Sunday even
ing Of meeting Capt Drinkwater, the
handsome and energetic commander of
the famous R. K. Dunkerson. Capt D.
frets greatly in his circumscribed limits,
his pent up Utica between Spottsville
and Rumsey, and if the superintendent
don't clear the locks soon we shall look
for muss.
Capt. Liter and John Travis, of the
Evansville & Bowling Green Mail Line,
were in the city yesterday. They viii
start their line as soon as navigation
is resumed on Green River.
The levee here is crowded with freight
awaiting shipment, among which we
notice vast accumulation Of chickens
ducks, geese and turkeys, for New Or
leans. Capt Ehrman has also large
quantities of hour-nearly 5000 barrels
ON the levee, which he is forwarding
to Grants army with all possible dis
patch.

BUILDING AssoCIATIoX.-Our readers
will learn with pleasure that arrange
ments gre in progress for the immediate
establishment of such an association in
this city. We are not at liberty to state
the details at present, suffice it to say
that a number of gentlemen have met
and after thorough examination of the
matter, appointed committee to draft
a constitution and rules to be laid before
an adjourned meeting on Friday next.
The battle-cry of this institution will
be every man his own landlord" We
regret that our State law limits the nun.
Der of members, this must and will be
altered, but in the meantime it must be
obeyed- all who wish to join must there
fore adopt the earliest opportunity.
The payment, we believe, will be 81 0C
for 500 place, the gist of the whole
matter, to US, seems to be to turn REM
into purchase money.

When the lonely watch 1 m keeping =
each school singing verses alternate ly.
Il is a hard heart that would not be
thrilled with such melodies.
AFTERxooN-Ha spent the fore
noon so agreeably among the little girls,
we resolved to see. in the afternoon, what
the boys of the same grade had been &C
com plisbing during the past term. The
First Boys intermediate is taught by
Miss O'Byrne, assisted by Miss McCarer.
The register Of the school shows 100
scholars. of whom 90 we're present at
tie Examination This is large num-
Der, ana imposed arduous labor upon tie
teachers TO make their instruction thor
ongh This school, as the Girls Inter-
mediate, is divided into four gand class
es, of four recitalious each. Being of
the same grade, the studies are the same
as in the Girls intermediate. The
classes are large-too large, if the diff
Guilty could be avoided-one of them
containing &c boys The teachers have
been faithful and devoted, we have no
doubt, and we thought most Of the class
es did very we'll 1t was evident that
some of the boys were suffering the pre-
monitory symptoms of approaching
Spring, out still appeared to us to be
doing something, and we were quite
unprepared for the emphatic manner
with which the Trustee condemned
the schools. One class of unlucky lite
fellows were pronounced almost iucorri
gible, and were called npon to sing-to
the tune of " Uncle Ned the song of
& Lazy Bill, the truant that hid behind
the mill. The little fellows of course
keenly felt the humiliation and failed to
respond very energetically, and he then
set them down as being too lazy to do
justice to "Lazy Bill"
At the conclusion of the exhibition,
the Superintendent, Mr.. Baker, paid a
tribute to the faithfulness and ability of
the teachers, but was not very compli-
mentary to the boys. He was in doubt
as to whether he ever should expect
much from the school He seemed to
regard it as an abandoned Nazareth out
of which nothing good could come.
Now the Journal is friend of the
boys. 1t was once boy itself. 1t felt
as keenly the remarks of the superin-
tendent as any boy in the school. To
tell the truth the Journal is spunkey
about the matter, and it is prepared to
stake its repution for good guessing,
that the present First Boys intermediate
school of Evansville will turn out as
many good scholars and reliable men as
any school of its size in the city. Boys
of the First intermediate, what do you
say to that? Go to work now and prove
yourselves worthy of the journals
friendship and good opinien.
After singing, the exercises were
closed for the day
To-day the intermediate schools in
Lamasco School House will be examined
