New CosvEars.--Not more surely is the
red man Of the forest fading from the face
Of the earth, than Is the Democratic party
Of the city Of Independence. Have We
not the most indubi,able evidence in the
grand stampede into the Republican ranks
exhibited at tho caucus on Thursday last !?
OF course no Democrat with the leas,
pretentions 10 honor, would think Of in.
.ruding himself upon : Republican cau.
Gus, unless he designed to consistently L.
Dor hereafter with the Republican party.
Hence We may doubtless claim the q
Democrats, who took part in the caucus
called ~ Republican, ~ genuine convert.
10 the great principles of our party. I,
will hardly be probable that the % converts
to Repubicanism viii backslide into the
ccsspool Of the effete organization which
they have abandoned. Where is Democ
racy, when its followers desert it by com
panics aud bAttalions?

- During the year 1866, Manchester
shipped l2s,sOo bushels Of spring wheat /;
while Independence shipped 2ll,0se bush ,
els. We give these figures simply by way
Of contrast. The tosal Shipments Of whest
from the three stations in Buchanan county
for the year 1865, were 372,256 bushels.
The value Of this export was over haif a
million dollars. This vast sum is for wheat
alone, and was paid in cash 10 the farmers.
1t speaks louder than any mere speculative
theory Of the rapidly augmenting wealth Of
our farming population.

OF matters on the Ohio the Louisville
Courier, of yesterday, says:
The river was slowly rising at the head
of the falls yesterday, with rs inches OF
water in the canal in the evening by the
mark. This is a rise of two inches at
the head of the falls, and should make 6
inches more water out over the bar at
the foot of the falls, between the Portland
and New Albany shores.
At the foot of the falls the rise has
made no perceptible change In the chan
mel depths, as all the boats, ferries in =
cluded, rub the bar-drawing but 26
inches water. The r, c. Gray struck the
bar and was still hard on it last evening
going out.
The river is now lower than since the
fall of 1856, and yesterday was the warm.
est of the year, distinction which can
not be well gainsaid in our region, as
the mercury in the Thermometer was up
to blood heat-l02 degrees. On the
street the heat was 80 10 SO degrees, the
highest point this season, little warmer
than the greatest heat of July. The
barometer indications were pointing to
falling weather, though the mercury had
fPllen barely one point. The equinox is
drawing near, and storms and changes
may soon be expected. Good rains and
cooler atmosphere just now are very
desirable.
The river at Cincinnati yesterday was
at stand at noon, with very warm
weather prevailing. At Pittsburg navi
cation is virtually suspended.
Along the lower Ohio, as we learn by
dispatches from Evansville yesterday,
there are but barely twenty-six inches
water over the bars, and navigation
difficult and troublesome at all points.

While the thief was inside, standing at

and looked in. He asked the rascal
where Mr. Noel was, and received in re-
ply, He has gone to dinner" He sus-
pected nothing, and passed on. The

nately before the latter gentleman
reached his business place the thief had
disappe ed with his booty.
