RIVER NEwS.-The river was about
on a stand, last night, with ten feet by
the marks. Some five or six tOw-boats
went down yesterday, with their squads
of coal barges. 1t is very evident from
the amount of coal that has already
passed, that there will not DO any
scarcity below for fuel. Business on the
levee has assumed lively appearance
again, and river men look more cheer
full.
BY reference to an advertisement in
to-day's REGISTER. it will be seen that
the New State has been taken out of the
Parkersburg trade and put in the
Wheeling and Pittsburgh trade, and
Will make trips to connect with the Elk.

Under these favoring auspices very gratifying
progress has been made in extending the railroad
track from both directions. Nearly 1000 miles
of the Main Line and converging Branches be-
tween the Missouri River and the base Of the
Rocky Mountains have been built within three
years. The CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD has
also steadlIy and successfully carried the Main
Stem Line from the steamboat navigation Of the
Pacific TO the summit Of the Sierra Nevada, and
into the Great Salt Lake Basin east OF the Cali
fornia line. Having overcome by far the most
difficult and expensive portion Of the whole
line, the probabilities Of the through connection
with the Eastern lines being effected in 1910
amount almost TO certainty.

The above States are just enough to elect,
and Greeley admits that not one of them can be
spared with safety to the Radical ticket He
also comedies that, at present, both Ohio and
West Virginia are doubtful, while zee know
that Louisiana is altogether out of place in
the above list, but may be claimed with per-
feet assurance for Seymour and Blair. Indeed,
he is prepared to resign this in a lump with
all the "rebel States" saying ''We cannot
rely on one of them till the votes shall have
been polled and the result declared" Here,
then, is ar avowal from the Oldest and most
experienced of the Radical editors that at this
stage of the canvass, Grant having been in the
field about three months, it is impossible to
reckon up enough voters, even conjecturally,
to elect him. There is a tremendous differ
ence between this confession and the swelling
confidence with which the whole Radical
press, in the outset, assumed the election of
Grant as a fixed certainty of the future The
difference marks the progress of reaction
against Radicalism-a reaction that is still
going on. "Men and brethren I" cries Gree
ley, eve must carry Connecticut, New York,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania for Grant and
Colfax. Without at least two of
them all is in doubt" But three of them,
at least, may be counted for Seymour and
Blair. Therefore, the case is not only one of
doubt, but of despair for the supporters of
the Radical ticket.
