easy. Mr., Mong does not desire any

fact that he never asks them TO travel

The New State is to-day's Petersburg
packet. She leaves at IL o'clock this
morning.
The Matamoras packets Science and
Hope depart this morning at 10 o'clock
We take the following from the Gin
cinuati Enquirer of yesterday:
The Mail Line steamer United States,
while attempting to pull the Fiji
street wharf boat off the bank, left
grounded by the falling river, about
o'clock, Saturday evening, after leaving
the foot of Vine street, on her regular
trip TO Louisville, parted her line, and
her head swinging out was caught
by the strong current, and the boat
became unmanageable. The Edln'
burgh WAS passing up, about the mid
die of the river, and the bow of the
United States, as she SWING around,
struck her Just forward of the engines,
cutting through her lower guards to
the hull, and damaging her upper
guards considerably. The hull of the
Ednburg was not injured. The pilots
of the two steamers, seeing the danger
of a collision, exchanged signals, and
the Edinburg was headed for the Ken.
lucky side, and the engines of the Uni
ted States were reversed. The collision
shook every timber ia the Edinburg,
and it was thought for time that she
was sinking. As soon as the States was
got under control again she was run up
alongside the Edinburg to render any
assistance that might be necessary.
Tho Edinburg, which had just made her
first trip in the Evansville trade, will
lose one trip to repair.
The Lady Gay-sunk few days since
in the Mississippi-was commanded by
Captain Isaac Jones, formerly well
known in the Pittsburgh and Cincin-
natl packet trade as clerk of the Monon-
gahela, Captain Charles Stone.

WHAT WHEELING NEEDs.-Wheeling
has a great many needs, but among hel
greatest is the the want OF a pleasant,
sheerful, comodious place of amuse
ment. In this particular che is far be-
hind other cities of her size and impor
lance. In fact there are but few towns
in the West with half the population Of
Wheeling but has tasty, well-ventila-
ted agreeable Opera House; place
where amusements, whether lectures
concerts or theatrical performances can
be enjoyed. This city has only Wash
iugton Hall, a miserable, dingy barn OF
place, never half lighted and where
the audience are liable at any moment
to be disturbed by the janitor, who con-
siders that he owns and controls every.
thing the hall contains, even to the
audience. A more disagreablo or dan
gerous place there is not on this CONT
nent. We say it is dangerous, and we
mean just that. Whenever tho hall is
crowded the aisles between the sections
of chairs are generally filled with extra
seats. fla fire should break out during
a performance and the hall be crowded
not half of the people could get out 81
the doors. We are glad to hear that 9
movement is on foot among our monied
men, to supply this want of proper
place of amusement. 1t is proposed to
form joint stock company to build al
Opera House, on the modern plan, the
auditorium being on the second story,
with four or five stores below. Two
sites on which to erect the building
have been spoken Of One OF these is
the McKelvy corner on Market and
Quincy street; the other on Monroe
street commencing 1t the corner of the
alley where Graves bookstore is, and
running mp as far as John Rico's. Either
site would do, or there are Others We
might name equally available. That
such an enterprise would pay, there
can no doubt. Tie Columbus (Ohio.
Opera House, built when labor and ma
tsrial were far higher than now, has
steadily paid fifteen per cent on the
SIS 900 invested. Thes stores under sucl
q building, advantageously located
could all be rented before the FONDA
