recent joint discussion between the candi
da.ss for Congressional honers from this
DISCREET, xf. Cock was most eophatisally

g used, he was "canplsssly scooped out. :"
We haven't doubt but that many readers
Of the Gazette will believe this, but with the
generality Of our citisens, this assertion will

mon sense Nobody believes that NJ. Cook
was vsuquished in the late Joint discussisa,
CT thas his speeches were ever failures. On
the contrary, We have received reports which
give Us every reason to believe that many
| of Mr.. Prices favori:e positions we're rem
dersd untenable BY solid argument, and hsd
to be isuominiously abandoned. NJ. Price
has invariably taken refuge in the discussion
Of dead issucs, and the editor Of the Gazelte,
more than any one else. it aware Of this fact.

he shsuld take stroll around our lcvec one
Of these fine afternoons. This mornings &
packets left loaded down With freight, two
steamers with their barges we're effeetua!ly
stored, and yet, at about three o'clock the
l~vec x,s stacked with grain snd produce,
and every warehouse was filled 10 its ut :
most capacity. Thousands Of sacks re,nsiu
for Tomorrow. 10 effect shipments seemed
to be the only object our dealers were pos
scssed Of. The farmers are hauling TO mar.

Of the present beautiful weather. while there
are not half enough boats to carry away the
frcights. At noon. to-day, there wsre ten
thousand sacks Of grain awaiting shipment,
TO say nothing Of tho other quantities Of mis-
cela"eous packages. The: pine islu6, which
had become somewhat indentitisd with our
city, in connection with the Western Union
Ia lroad, leaves for St. Louis this evening,
loaded to the last inch. Such busy times
ere decidedly refreshing after the several
weeks Of dullne>s just gone by.

mer, several bundled darkies passed this
port bound for Dnbuque. to take the places
Of the white roustabuuts in the Northern
trade who had organized and carried out .
strike" They agreed. on hiring, that the
company should retain one half oftheir pay
until the close Of the season, as . guarantee
Of good behavior. A few days ago, = s'rike
for higher wages VAS made on al tho North
western packet boats. The consequence
was that most Of the crews were discharged
On Wednesday they commenced suit at Du.
buque for that portion Of their pay which
had been retained. AZ they have broken
their contract, the company proposes TO re-
sist to the last point, snd has dispatched an
agent to Cincinnati to obtain three hundred
white men ut forty,five dollars = month,
which rs the ruling rate. As steamboating
is very duh on the Ohio. very little trouble
will be experienced in securing the required
number. SO it seems that iniggers don't
stick to their contracts any better than
white men. whatever may he said to the
contrary.
