RIVER MATTERS.
\ RIYERs.

Us HER an AANA
Tn weather is warm and clear, with no
early indications of rain. The river at
this point commenced toswell yesterday,
and had gone up nearly two inches at
dark. This is the water which came out
of the Ohio. That stream is falling at
Pittsburg, with cold snowy weather, and
fears are entertained that it may freeze
M before another rise sets in. At Gin
cinnati it is also falling, as it is at Louis
vile, Evansville, and in fact at at all
points except Cairo, where il is still
slowly rising. There is now less than
forty inches to Louisville. There is DO
change to report in the upper Mississippi,
Int some three or four inches has no
doubt beer added to the channel depth
at Point Pleasant.

EDIToRIAL LIFE.-But few readers ever
think Of the labors and care devolving upon
an editor. Captain Marryatt most truly
says; Iknow how periodical will wear
down ones cxistance. In itself it appears
nothing; the labor is not manifest nor is
it in labor, it is the continual attention it
requires. Your life becomes, as it were, the
publication. One days paper is no sooner
corrected and printed than on comes anoth.
OR. 1t is tho stone Sisyphus, and endless
repetition of toll and constant weight upon
the intellect and spirits, and demanding all
the excrtions Of your faculties, at the same
time you are compelled to the seyercst
drudgcry. To write for paper is very
well, but to edit one is to condemn yourself
to slavery.

On my way to Rome I stopped at Teni
for couple Of days. This town is quaint,
old, and dirty. The houses are black and
the people squalid. The streets are as black
as mud on make them, and not much wider
than ~ passages through good.sized
brick-kiln. Altogether the place gives one
the impression Of large number Of houses
that have drifted into the same locality, per-
haps as the result Of flood, and have stuck
there hard and fast. There is hotel with
. stupendous and over-powering name on
the outside, and general misery and annoy
ance inside.
