ENOUGH OF Tive hope Congress,
for decency's and the Treasury's sake,
will quit its discussions of the amnesty
question. It is evident that no result
can be now arrived ut that would com
port with either justice or sound policy,
or that tho South would not regard with
contempt. 1t is, therefore, Il useless
waste of the country's time, ana some
member would show his Wisdom by
moving to lay the Batter bill and all
amendments ON the table; and it would
not he amiss to kick Butlcr himself
under it. The main object of Dutlcr's
so-callcd amnesty turns out to be n
scheme to prevent the parties robbed
by him from recovering damages in the
Courts. The thief thinks every bush an
officer, and Butler will desccrate even
tho sacred namo of peace in order to
save his plumber.

Tho Seven Wonders.

Many people don't know what the
seven wonders Of the world are, aud
therefore wouldn't recognize them II
they saw them. They are
First. "lhc Great Pyramid OF
Egypt" built hy an old mutton chop
called Cheops, king Of Egypt, Illinois.
He was twenty years In building it-he
and about 800, 900 others, whose names
we have forgotten. There Is no pc~'-
ultid modern monuments for Chcops.
Second. "Bahyion the Great" The
walls of the city being sixty miles in
circumference and eighty seven feet
thick, they naturally came very high.
Walls were high that year anyhow.
The walls surrounding the place OF
NcbuchadncAzar were six miles In
extent to prevent his escape when let
out to grass. Hanging vast: played
out in Babylon, for we read of their
changing gardcns.'
Third. "rhc gold and ivory statue of
Jupiter Olympu-,' - done by Phidias, the
greatest living artist now dead.
There j. some dispute as TO the
nationality Of Jew Olympus, but the
/ name denotes that he was II Hebrew of
! Irish extraction.
Fourth. The Temple of Diana OF
| the Ephe~iana," at Ephcsus. 1t was
+ built Of cedar, cyprus and gold. with
! Arown-stone front and mansard roof.

The Mound City Journal says the
work on the Dexter is progressing rapid
ly, and will result in making her one of
the largest and best steamers afloat. The
work of cutting her from stem to stern
in two places, and spreading her twelve
feet, has been successfully accomplished,
and large force is now busily engaged
in filing up the gaps with new beams
and carlins. An entire new bow will be
put on her; she will also be cut in two
aft Of the warehouses and heightened.
The new and elegant side-wheel steamer
Pat Cleburne, Reese Pritchard, master,
will arrive to-day in time to leave at her
usual hour for Helena, Napoleon, Prem
tiss and all intermediate landings on the
Mississippi river. After reaching her
destination on the Mississippi she will
return to the mouth and proceed up the
Arkansas to Little Rock, making all
way landings on the Arkansas.
The towboat Tom Rees passed up this
morning with tow of empty barges.
The R. P. Walt came in this morning
with her cabin full of people and a fair
freight list, including twenty-five bales of
cotton.
The Nick Wall passed down last night
for Red river, and the Julia passed down
to-day for Vicksburg.
Our White river exchanges report an
eighteen-inch rise in that stream.
Tha Treasury Department at Wash
ington has decided that in all cases
where the tonnage tax had been paid
prior to the repeal of the act levying
the tonnage tax L. e. July l6, 1870, that
the amount cannot be refunded to the
parties who had 40 paid.
The Cincinnati Gazette says 1.-THE
mammoth side-wheeler, to be called
Clara Banes, which is now being built
at Towards shipyard, is to have the
largest carrying capacity of any steamer
yet built for the Western waters"
The Vioksburg Herald says that the
builders Of Capt Whites new steamer,
Katie have given the assurance that
she will excel, in point of speed, both
the r. +, lee and Natchez. She win
possibly make dash for the Princess
horns, which now adorn the r. f. Lee,
and we hear rumors to the effect that
the Natehez and Belle Lee will also en-
ter the contest. We predict that in the
next three months the run from New
Orleans to Natchez will be made in less
than seventeen hours.
The Robt. Z. Lee, Pargoud, Belle Lee,
Natchez, Richmond, and all the line of
the lower Mississippi river packets
are to commence running next
month. Steamboating in the lower
trade promises to be lively during the
coming season,
