Weather clear and moderate. The
river here is still on the decline. At St.
Louis the river is rising fast, with a
rise in the upper rivers and a full re-
sumption of navigation. The Ohio is
rising at Cincinnati, but falling at Louis
vile. White river is stationary, with
four aud half feet in the channel from
Iaoksonport to tho mouth. Arkansas
river is rising it rose three feet at Little
Rock yesterday. Business on the wharf
is moderate, with a fair movement in
freights. The landing is ir deplorable
condition, which defeFs the handling Of
cotton and other freight.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The clear weather this morning tended
to make business more active on the
landing than it has been for the past
few days.
The Colorado arrived this morning
from Cairo with a full cargo. She has
for here $50 tons Of freight, and for
Vickaburg aud the bends 400 tons. She

STATE AGENTS.

As the question Of state agency is
just now interesting the Patrons of Yer
mont, we publish on the last page of this
weeks paper the report Of the Kansas state
agent to the state grange, and also some ac-
count of the proceeding of the Minnesota
state agent. There is no doubt that state
agent may be a very useful officer, and his
services very profitable to the grangers, hut
he must be the right kind Of man, and
conduct his operations so as to win the con-
6dence of the order, or he will do very
little good. He must be plable-not bound
up to any fixed theory, or plan of operations
so tightly that be cannot or will not meet
the wishes of his constituents Even the
best plan, rigidly enforced before the mem.
bers Of the order understand its advantages,
will fail while more cautious course, con-
sulting with the brethren as to their wants
aud wishes, aud complying with them in a
ready, accommodating spirit, will soon give
the agent an influence that will enable him
to bring all into harmony and uniformity
that it would be impossible to enforce at
first. The post OF state agent is therefore
very responsible one, requiring peculiar
talents to ensure the greatest usefulness, or
success

The Ohio State Grange of Patrons Of
Husbandry, in session at Xenia, the 18th
ult., made a declaration Of principles, of
which the following is an abstract We are
bound together, first by sentiment of broth
erly love; second, by common interest in
agricultural pursuits; third, by need of So
cial reform, based on our rights as citizens
of the republic.
With justice inscribed on our banners we
shall claim fair compensation for our labor
through its products.
The Iessing of the hours Of labor that we
may cultivate our mental and moral iacul-
ties.
From charted monopoIes have grown up
frauds which threaten to sap the foundations
Of our government. Their agents iniest
legislative halls with temptation in their
hands, against which great wrongs we pro.
test We demand that railroads aud other
corporations shall not receive on capital in
vested more than just and lawful interest,
and that they shall charge only equitable
rates for transportation. We demand that
fraud in extension of patent. rights shall
cease, and that compensation OF our repre-.
sentatives in the government shall correspond
to wages in field, shop and trade. There.
fore be it
Resolrcd, That we indorse the principles
set forth by the late National Grange at St.
Louis.
The resolutions then go to declare for the
election Of competent county school superin.
