CITY OP EVANS VI LLC: WEDNESDAY TXOnNlX, DEC. II. Rivers ana Harbors. It is with pleasure we tvitnesj the move merit already being made in Congress, in fa vor of appropriations for Rivers and Har bors in the West. On the first day of the session, Mr. Wenlworth. of Chicago, said thatifnooneeI.se would make the motion, he, at the earliest possible day would move to go into Committee on the bill making appropriations for rivers and harbors. ?.Ir. Renton, in the Senate, has given notice of !:i3 intention to bring in a bill for thi and other purposes. Now here arc a leading Democrat in the Senate, and a noisy Democrat in the House, the first members to bring forward to the attention of Congress this session, a measure which a few years back would only have been supported by Whigg, yet which now meets with the ardent support of both parties. Appropriations by the j General Government for Internal Improvements no longer meet with opposition by any party. That time lias gone by. We have insisted upon this, and published letters from prominent Democrats to prove thit such opposition was no longer a party principle with them. If we loved party more than country, we should like to see the Democratic party at this day opposing ar a party principle these appropriations. The Whig party, advocating these appropriation could always be successful in every section of the whole country. How ridiculous it seem, when we sec leading Democrats occupying the position so many of them have recently taken on this question, and actually endeavoring to push through Congress measures calculated to carry out the principle of appropriations for Internal Improvements, to find here and there in different quarters of the country, some little Democratic prcs3 yelping out in opposition to these appropriation, and thu3 boldly declaring the old hounds of the pack at fault! And how worse than ridiculous how absurd, and how thoughtless of the interests ol 1 those who ripport it for a paper in the West, to be found setting up a violent outcry against appropriations intended to increase the prosperity of the West, advance our commerce, protect the lives of our citizeus on the rivers, and push on our public improvements and this opposition too founded upon an exploded principle which does cot now receive the support of any party, or of a single prominent man west of the mountains, belonging to any party ! If there is a leading Democrat in the West supporting such an out-cry, we should like to know his name. We rejoice that the prospects are so fl.tt: eringforthe West receiving assistance this essi'on of Congress. If Western men do .heir duty, we can secure these appropriations without fail. If they sell themselves to the East, as some have done, we may not be uccessfu I this session nor the next, but the time vill speedily come when a purification by the people of our Congress will grant us our wishes. A better feeling the right feeling is being shown. The ripenin of tin's into action, will briog us a full fruition of our hopes. Gcrman CATnoLtc Fair. Next week me L,auics ol the lierman Catholic Church will give a splendid Fair, as will be seen by notice in another column, in the basement sto. ry of the Catholic Church on second street. They are making extensive preparations for the occasion, and we are sure, if the Catholic ladies here arc like those of other places,their Fair will not be eclipsed by any that have ccn given in the city. The object of the the Fair is to obtain a bell for the new church a good object, as the church is an ornament to the city. V, e shall have more to say about iL!, n . J uns rair next week. IOTA six-legged Dull is being exhibited at Cincinnati, called the Jenny Liud Ox ! V just ask the interested public to recollect the Jenny Land Job Office attached to the Journal where wo strike off with neatness and dis -1 r v. - pnen jsiiny Land llor.e Eilte, Jenny Lind Cards, Jenny Lind rosters, &c. Since Jenny Lind i? all the rage we are determined to link Iat fame with our interests ia every jwssiwe manner. ECrMudgc Lockhart, of Vanderburgh, and Mr. Owen, of Tosey have been butting at each other in the Convention. We shalfcndeavor to morrow to give our readers a por uon oi meir remarks. There is a kind o : i i -. vwuäiCiu.iai nmonioa jealousy between these prominent Democrats, which is not .calculated to produce much love. JCAt Louisville on Monday, the river was still rising, and the falls were navigable, with on Sunday night 5 1-2 feet water in the middle chute, and nearly S feet water in the Indiana chute. In the Canal there were 11 feet water. At Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, the river was still rising, and high. At this point, the river has been rising fast lor ereral days, and continues rising tCA -maa arrived in town yesterday, who boasts of being able to tame the wildest horses in a short time.

A Terrible Wound. An account was recently published in the newspapers of an accident which occurred to a man in Vermont, who in blasting rocks, by a premature explosion, had a tamping iron, nearly of the size of a crow-bar, driven

through his head, carrying away a portion of his brain, yet he recovered from his wound, by a judicious surgical treatment. In a late number ol Dlackwood's Magazine, in an interesting article on the "House of Guise, " we find a description of a wound jia battle by the Count of Aumale, son of the Duke of Guise, about the year 1 550, tbe circumstances attending which are equally extraordinary. Indeed the whole passage will be read with interest : "The war with England continued subsequently to the conclusion ol peace between France and Charles chiclly in Picardy, around Doulogne, which Henry held, and 111 whose neighborhood his army was encamped. Some severe fckirmishes and partial engagements occurred, and in one of these the CoTint ol Aumale received a wound, probai ly the severest ever survived by mortal man, from the lance of an English otficcr. The weapon, according to the description of Ambrose Tare, entered 'above the right eye, declining towarJ3 the nose, and piercing through on the other aide, betide the nape and the car.' Sj violent was the blow that the weapon broke in the head, into which it had nenetrated more than nan a 1001. me entire hnce-iroiiaud two lingers' breadth of the Ktati remaining in the wound, rare cxtdaiiirf the io$ibiIitv of buch u wound, in an age when helmet- und visors were in use. by mentioning that the Count always went into action with his face bare. 'Terrible s v.v.s tie thock,' says M. de Poulilo, it did not unhoro d'Aumalc. He still made head against his foes, succeeded in forcing a passage through them, aided by bis young and valiant brother Claude, and by de Viellcvillo who alone of all had not abandoned him and rode gloriously into camp. His appearance was frightful; hi f ice, armor ami clothes were deluged with blood. The surgeons, stupdied by the depth and gravity ol the wound, despaired 01 tu.v, and refused to inflict useles sutl'eiing npoi the patient But Ambrose Pare, the King's surgeon, sent by Francis uith orders to try every moan i in baving the brio's life, was not dNeourjtrtd. Confiding in his skill, and in the firimiessi of the wounded man. he resclved la attempt an operation, terrible indeed, but admirable for those d.iys, and worthy ulme to insure celebrity to hint who imagined it. flic laucc-head was broken oil so snort, that it was impossible to gra--p it with the -.and. Taking then n l:ackmiiit s pincers, to draw it out with urcat lorce, and unsifted. am.mgst others, by Master Nicotic Lavernan, a very experienced surgeon, ne asxeu me Lorraine Prince, in presence of a crowd of officers shudderinir with horror, if lie would submit to the employment of such means, and would sutler him to ilace li s loot upon ins ice. 'I consent to everything; proceed, 'j replied d'Aumale. Nor did his lortitude abandon him for an instant during the cruel operation, which was not ellvcted without lracture of Unit's, nerves, veins ami arteries, and other parts, and which he endured as if they had only pulled out a hair. The agony extorted from him but the single exclama tion 4 Ah! my God!' Transjwrlcd titieruurdj in a litter to Pcequigny, ho remained lor three days hi a hopeless btate ; early on the fifth day more favorable symptoms de clared themselves and nature made such powerful ell'orts, that the cure was complet ed without leaving the Count d'Aumulo any trace of this astonishing wound, except 1. scar, equally glorious for him aud fjr Ambrose Pare. That skilful surgeon was wont modestly to s ay. when speaking of the marvelloci care cf Francis olA Lorraine' 1 dressed it, and God healed it. As soon as he began to set better, the Count d'Aumale hastened to write to the Kiiiff. with a hand still unsteady, the fa Univiii.r note, characterized 1 V a calmness remarkable in such ciicuinsta.ices: ' fctr, 1 take the liberty to inform you that I find my self weih honiri' not to lose an eve. 1 our self well, hoping not to lose au eye. l oui very humble servant, De Guizard.'

The slaughtering establishment continue in operation, though the extreme cold weather very much retards operations, We heard of sales of hogs Saturday at $1 00 net, on short time, and sales of several thousand green hams at o 3-i cents. At Cincinnati the market was stimulated in consequence of the hVht receipts, and nearly all the hoga in market were bought at St 00 net. We heard of a sale at Madison of 100.000 pounds green meat at 3 1-4 cent for shoulder and 4 1-4 ci nls fr sides. Several thousand barrels ol new pork have already been shipped öouth Irora Cincinnati, but not a barrel as yet from Louisville. ,oi$rille Cour., 0th.

Ileport of tba Postmaster General Po3T OrricE DEPAnTMr.KT, ) November, 39. 1S50. $ Sir The number of mail routes within ihc United States, at the close of the fiscal year ending on the 30th of June last, wai 5.590 ; the aggregate length of such routes was 178.072 niileF; and the number of contractors employed thereon 4.7G0. The annual transportation ot the mails on these routes was 46,451,423 mile?; at an annual cos! of S2.724,4G, makinsr the nvernjre

cost about five cents and eight aud a half mills per mile. The increase in the number of Inland mail routes during the year was 549; the increase in the length of mail routes was 10.900 miles; and the annual transportation of the e;tr exceeded that of the. previous year by 3,997,351 miles at'an increased cost of $312.410. The maiUervice in California and Oregon, having be en irregular in its performance, and imperfectly reported tu the Department, has iot been embraced in the foregoing statements.

There were on the SOih of June lat fiveldiana, Illinois Wisconsin. Iowa, Missouri,

foreign mail routes of the agjreijate length of 1j,079 nuies, and the annual price ot the transportation therein, payab.e hy this Uli partment was $-64 503; being an imrease of I $3 Sil on the cost ot the preceding year, There should he added to the rust of trans portation, as above stated, the exK?n of mail mesengers.and local and rotne agents (which expense is chargeable to the transportation fund,) and which for tho lat fiscal year amounted to 107,012; b-ing an increase of lo i2v on the expenses cl the 'nail messen gers, and local route agents, for the preceding year. The increase of our mail service for the last fiscal year.overthc year preceding, was about 9 4-19 per cent., and tho increase in the total co t was about 127-10. The extent and cost of such service for iht last year, it- division among the States and I Territories, and in comparison with that of the preceding yejr. will more lolly appear by the acoirpanyiag Report of the First Assistant Postmaster General. The number of Postmasters appointed during the year ending June 30, 1S30, was 0 513 Of that immln-r 2 C00 were appointed lo till vacancies occasioned by resignation; 233 to fill vacancies occasioned hy the decease ol the previous incumbent; i'2 on a change ol the olliccsfjr which they were appointed ; 1114 on the removal of their predecessors : and 1,UrJwcre npuutJ on tho ettaLIiBhnicnt ol new oiiices. The whole number of post offices in the United States at the e d ol that year was 1S,417. There were 197'J p-ist otli-en etabluhed, and 109 discontinued during the year. The postmasters and other agents of the Departments have, with few exceptions, performed their duties with fidelity and promptness, and maintained the credit of the Department for elliciency and usefulness. The fiilures of connection which have from time to lime occurred on some of the routes, have caused much inconvenience and annoy ance, it is hop J, However, inai me renewed requirement of the returns of weekly and monthly registers ol the arrivals and departures, by the poslmaters, at the ends of each route, which are now regularly made to the Department, and the rfiicieut action of the increased number of special agents, will render these irregularities less frequent. The grosa reenue ol the Department lor the year ending June 30. 1S30, was 5.532.974 4S, derived from the following sources: From letter postage, including foreign postage und stamps so!d, $1,570,003 80 From newspaper and pamphlet postage, 919.4S5 91 From fines, 33 00 From miscellaneous items, 3 013 CO From receipts on account of dead letters, 1,718 40 So.4'jy.9$4 8G From the appropriation made by the 12lh section of the act ot 31 March, 1S47, for the franked matter of the departments, $-200;COO 00 $3,00054 SO From this sum should he de ducted the amount received during the year for DiiiUh postag -8 which are payable to that Government under the postal convention of December. 1343, Leaving, for the gross revenue $147,013 33 ol the year, $5,531971 4S The expenditures of the year were as follows: Fur) the transportation of the m:u'!s, S2.9G3JS6 36 Ship, steamboat, and way letiers, 40.543 71 Compensation to P.

Indeed, the extent and cost of the mail service, ns will as the revenues nfthis Department. are subject to constant fluctuation . and the best considered aud most careful estimates can furnish only a reasonable approximation to the actual results. The expenditures cf the current year arc estimated as follows: The annuttl expenses of transportation, foreign and inland, ad itfduod at the close of the last fiwal year, $3,095.074 00 Additional cost in Western section under' contracts, which went into effect July 1, 1S50, 23GXC6 00 Cost of improvement, in other sections ordered in the firt quarter of the current jeer. 12,470 CO Cot of improvement to be made under similar orders during residue of the year 50,000 CO Expense of bteamer Franklin on the New Yrk aud Havre line. 62.500 00 Service in CalilVrii nnd Oregon already reported, 80,470 6J Cost of new routes, and steamer Humboldt. 20,000 69 Expen of publishing a revised list fit po.-t olliccs and posimistcrs and a new edition of the laws and reguIatious,with a map to accompany the latter, 1 14.500 00 Expenses ol lat year, under the heads ofccmpeiisation to postmasters; w lapping paer; office furniture; advertising; mail bags ; blankem ail look, k-ys and traps; mail depreda t 'oui and special afntj; cleiks for offices, (olfices of postmasters.) and miscellaneous, items; with eleven per cent added, (uch expenses necessarily increasing with the increase of the revenue and general service.) 2 417,199 90 $6.019.899 99 To meet these expenditures the Department must rely on the receipts of postage,thc annual appropriation of $200.001) under the 12th section ot the act of lb 17, which has been before relerred to, and the triilmg appropriation madi! nt the lat session of Congress a a compensation lor the transportation of the mailer sent free through the mails under the act lor taking the seventh census. IJofore giving an estimate cf the revenues of the current year, it a proper to remark that no reliable estimate of the receipts Irom postage can Iks made.
