CONDITION OF THE RIVERS.
Yesterday the river at this place COM
menced rising slowly. At Pittsburg
there is..a good prospect of quite rise in
the river. The Ohio from Cincinnati
down to this port is rising slowly, and
there may be sufficient water come down
to make decent channel between here
and Evansville. No change in the con.
dition of the Mississippi river. There !,
but five and half feet in the channel
The current through Birds bend runs lik,
a mill-tsil, and sternwheel boats have tc
push like good fellows in order to round
the bend. Between here and Memphis
the river is falling with six feet scan
in the channel

had TO swear in his vots-that 10 to say
he knew he had been . resident of the

We attended . very interesting poli,i
cal meeting, on Thursday night, at Nor.
game Mill, two miles east of Dongola, in
Union county. Tho audience was as.
sembled in the large store room Of Mr..
Morgan and was first addressed by Mr..
Wall, Liberal Democratic candidate for
congress. We need not say that Mr..
WalFs speech, occupying about fifty
minutes in the delivery, was forc,ble and
eloquent II was listened to with atten.
tion, and loudly spplauded. 1t covered
very thoroughly, salient issues Of the
canvass, and did much good. Mr.. Oberly
followed Mr.. Wall in a speech OF some
length, and was succeeded by gentleman
from Union county, who made the speech
OF the evening. He particularly requested
US to say nothing about II, because he il
averse to the practice Of dabbling in tn,
political pool. But, the fact is, he hap
pened in at the meeting; he listened L
Wall; he paid attention to Oberly; he be
came enthused, and when the crowd cried
for Crawford how could he resist7 H,
couldn't and be didn't, and W,
are glad he didn't because h,
gave 10 an entertainment lonJ
TO be remembered. In fact and in dpwI
right truth, that speech was remarkable
1t was not finished production, full o
rounded sentences, but it was full Of mag
netism and power II was . thunder
storm Of political oratory and if its food
of earnest defamation did not sweep on
Of the minds OF oil present all doubts as +
their duty in this cAnvass-their duty Of
election day-we are no judge of tn
effects Of speech on a crowd. We hav
been at Methodist revivals, and have see
the mysterious works Of saving grace, bu
we never saw more hearty revival tina

political way and acknowledged the truth
We experienced the fact that it was goo
to be there; and, if it were not that W
had been requested to not say snythin
about it, We would pronounce the Judge
speech, in its peculiar way, the best Of Il
campaign. Judge Lemms, in conclusion
spoke very effectively for about fiftee
minutes, when the meeting broke up vii
