BAYARD TAYLOR finds nothing lovable
in the Missouri river. He says OF it. in q
letter to the New York Tribune:
Even whom one reaches the Missouri
there is little in that ugliest Of all rivers to
divert ones attention. A single picture OF
the swift tide of liquid yellow mud, with its
dull green wall Of cottonwood trees beyond,
is equivalent TO panorama Of the whole
stream. For the seventy or eighty miles
during which we skirted il, the turbid sur
face was unrelieved by sail, unbroken by
the paddles Of q single steamer, Deserted,
monotonous, hideous, treachorous, with its
foreyer,shifting sands and snsgs, it almost
seems to repel settlement, even as il repels
poetry aud art.

RECORDERS CoURT.-We expected
a huge report from the Recorders
Office yesterday, but was sadly mis-
taken. In the afternoon we called at
the Council Chamber and found his
Honor, the Recorder, surrounded by
a large number of witnesses, officials,
etc., and as a matter of course con-
cluded that it would all result in
something important, but in that were
disagreeably disappointed.
One man was, however, fined SIS
with costs for creating disturbance
at Simon Kown's saloon a night or
two ago.
David Lewis, who had lodged with
Capt. Darling one night for immoder-
ate drinking of mean whisky, or some
other inebriating liquor, was mulched
in the sum of 81 fine, with Sc 95 costs,
including Jail feed, etc. He left his
watch in pawn for the amount, and
was suffered to remain at large once
more.

hin the canalthat prevented the water
from reaching the city as early as was
anticipated The break was effected
about twelve or fourteen miles from
the city. The water was stopped off,
in order to make the repair, which
will be completed in a few days. We
are informed that this was nothing
more than was to have been expected,
since the canal has so long been idle,
hut when the water has once passed
to the city, no farther trouble need be
expected. The extreme dry weather

opinion in commercial circles in New

trade of the great North west will be
far better the coming Fall and win

WHAT THEY SAY.-While the
Warrick County delegation to the
Democratic Convention was collected
at one of our hotels yesterday morn
ing, delegate from that County took
occasion to express his mind quite
freely in regard to the soldiers. We
are informed by man who heard him,
that in the course of a long harangue
of bitter abuse of the Republican
party he denounced the soldiers in
unmeasured terms. He said of sol
diers in general that " they had gone
out to steal and rob-, and in speaking
of some particular soldiers, he charg-
ed openly that they had gone out to
steal horses. This language was used
IN q circle of Denaocratswho approved
and endorsed the remarks, and those
Democrats were on their way to Vim
cennes, to adopt .hypocritical sresolu
tions of love, sympathy and affection
for class of men they thus in private
circles, and in their hearts, as bitterly
denounce now as. in the days of the
war. This information, together with
the delegates names was furnished us
by a soldier who overheard the con-
versation, and who is responsible for
its correctness. 4

RUNAwAY.-Mr. Stephen Cooks
express wagon, attached to a mule,
cut quite a caper yesterday morning
in Hubbard's Addition. From some
cause or other, we did not learn what.
the animal took fright and dashed off
at a rapid rate, scattering the pack
ages ready for delivery in every direc-
ton. The driver had just stepped
into a house to deliver package of
goods, when the mule concluded to
follow the Presidents example, and
cut loose from former associations.
What the result of his policy
proved to be, we are unable to advise
the readers of the JOURNAL of but
most likely he and the express wagon
will both require reconstruction.
