ST. LoUIs.-The Republican of the 24th.
says:
The decline in the river here is steady.
Every indication points to o very low stage
of water in all the Western rivers very
shortly. The Missouri is going down stead
ily No steamers except those of very
light draft are now running in the Illinois,
and they all run about light and carry
their cargoes in barges. The upper Missis-
sippi is q great resort for the same class of
boats. but the Northern Line Company
shrewdIy manage to keep several of their
boats employed by running them hence to
Keokuk. where they reship on others of
their vessels. BY this method they are
keeping up regular communications with
St Paul. But it may be expected that in a
few days some of these boats and the keo-
kuk Packet Company's boats will be sup
planted by stern-wheelers and barges.

gxIn 1891, when the Confederate
usurpation was first established at Mont
gomery, Alabama, George n. Sanders tele-
graphed to the North that the only way to
prevent war was for the Northern Demo
Gratis to force their States to secede after
some fashion, and then join the Davis gov
ernment. Obstacles Of insurmountable
magnitude having intervened, this original
plan has been considerably modified; but

the similar purpose ofeleyating treason and
Furnishing LOYALTY.

GE From the eastern shore of Virgini

GE~ From the eastern shore of Virginia
many negroes went to swell the ranks of
the Union armies, and fought bravely.-
After the conclusion Of the war they returned
to their homes, bringing with them the
arms which they had used with such good
effect against the rebels The white peo-
pie suddenly became filled with an idea
that the negroes intended to make an i'm
proper use Of their arms, which, under the
law Of Virginia they are not allowed to
possess, and Immediately fabricated a cock
and-bull story of an attempted instruction
among the blacks. They called on the
freedmens bureau for assistance, and a few
men were sent over from Fortress Monroe
to look after the matter. 1t is universally
regarded as an exaggeration.

Immediately gave three glorious cheers as
