TiinrsD.iY Tiuitixc, dec. 12. The Fair. ' Do not forget that the Ladies of the Episcopal Church holJ a Fair this evening in the store rooms on Main street, just above Front. You have no iJea of the variety of beautiful and elegant preparation;? which are being madu ior the occasion. The tables will be covered with things ornamental and useful, which yon will be coaxed to look at by the beauty of Evansville, v.hile the cele brated Drummond Liirht will in the course of the evening shed over the already brillant scene, its sun-like rays. Kothing will be wanting to mike the Fair a great point of attraction. If there were no other inducement in the world, the pres?nc?. of the ladies thould be attraction enough theirdesire yon should attend, command undod gable. The children, too. have been in a world of excitement for some time mjVving preparations for the event, and beg of you to come and buy. Do not disappoint them. It is to be .presumed you were children ence yourselves, so extend them at least the sympathy of your pocket. Gon.l 01 you, aud take along the folks." ''women Presidents ."Icase. "We miglit fll'.our paper day after day with favorable comments niad by paprrs in every section of the country, on the President's late Message. Since the days of Washington there has probably not been a message emanating from a President of the U. States, which has been b. f.ivornbly received Iy the people as this..

On all the cardinal points of Whig doctrine, it is Whig to the core.

Dacuerreotytes. AVc have examined the Dagurrreot)pe likenesses taken by the brothers Webster, who have lately opened a room in this city, and pronounce them far superior to those of Dugurrcotypc Artists generally in the West.

Conyngton Caivson, have recently become united in bus'ness, and are row permanently rstablished at the corner of Main and i'ir.t tts. They are in constant receipt ol the latest muie, and always keep on hand a good assortment of Musical instruments. Their advertisement may be found in another column. "We hope their enterprise will be well rewarded. Evansville can certainly support a good Music store, and we are Mire that such it will be under the charge of the gentlemen above mentioned, especially aj both gentlemen arc musicians li.cmseKes. Him.' Pkc-csess Pamtulets. This is Ihc title of a m ries of Pamphlets nr.v being i-saed in Cincinnati. Mr. L. A. Iline is the author. We have the j Irnsurc of Mr. lime's acquaintance. His whole life has been mere devoted to Ms fidl.m. n.on I ?j i camary interests. The I.ro 'res of man haJ VM..1W..II '. been his subject for years. The pamphlet be lore us is entitled The Laborer." It is written in .Mr. Hire's own peculiar philosophic vein, niid is filled wi;h sound philosophy and tiseful information. He divides hi subjects into The Idea of Labor The Uidversa Obligation of Labor The Rights of Labor The Present Condition of Labor. We have not space to make any review ol this work, but recommend it ta all who can obtain a copy. JQ"Tl.c Alex.

Snags In tbe JllsaUftippi. . In a late number of the Louisville Journal we find an interesting article headed " Suags 1:1 the Mississippi River between Cairo and New Orleans. " The editor obtains some information relative to the number of enags between these points snags which are known to pilots, and which must be avoided by them in conducting their boats safely down the channel. New, dear reader, we ask with the LouUvilte Journal " how many of these boat-pierccra are there, think you, between Cairo and New Orleans? Six? More. Sixty? More. Six hundred? Not enough. Six thousand? At least. Think cl that, gentlemen representatives, who vote for the interests of this valley in Congress! Six thousand hidden and half hidden property and hie destroyers on the great high-wayof

six millions ol people ! " And this estimate is low-six to the mile iJ , w. lhirty-six peaces between Cairo and low. New Orleans are remarkable for being particularlvdan 'crous unifrt firnivi.ni!nn all times, and almost itnpussable at nights. Now what amount 0! property what Lum ber olhves do you think are exposed to these dangers which are within the power of our Government to remove ? Wc extract from th.3 above mentioned pa per: 'The number of steamboats passing daily by every point between Cairo and New Orleans will average between fifteen and twenty. The boats an I tin ir freights wiil coubt-l-ss average over $10,000 each or altogether over half a million ol' dollars. The trews and passengers would exceed a thousand. LIS very obstruction or peril within the points naiu'-u is a daily obstruction and peril to hall a inillim dollar' worth of property and to a mouruhi persons. "Of all iheduu ble that of running on a snag is probably the ....... F .1 - " I III nuiic oj roc eou'u oe "UVOiiCu because its jlace u always the same. -and bars are changed lo be sure, but the boat that grounds on a bar can generally be got if with a ri c in the river, and there is no linger of hie and but little lobao! property. Eut ihese sn::gs are some times above water and sometimes below ; tfomttimcs ia one place and sometimes in auotlur. No care is sullitient to guard against, them no sacugth ol material is sufficient to res;tt tlum." Thinlc of this, yo.i who doubt whether ap A 1 propriations should bo made by the General Governmet for the improvement of our rivers. Do you suppose the Sta!e3 along the river will ever tax themselves to remove these obstructions? The Journal remarks that Missouri, Arkansas aud Mississippi, are strong Democratic States. Has there been in the Legislature of ti'.her a single proposition to do this work ? lias u single Democratic lcpre?entative ever dared lo increase the taxes in his Slate for litis purpose? Every body knows that il the obstructions are ever removed, the work must be done by the General Government, and every body ought to know that the navigation of the river is now as had as when the firt bio.dhorn " descended the river. May we not say the same ofour own beautiful Ohio 1 The dangers of navigating it are not so groat as in the Mississippi, but tili thcrg are obstructions which bu.ily demand the assistance of Government ibr their removal. Why, we have stated the lact that there is one snag at Hurricane Island, by striking which two fine steamcis. the Fashion and llepublie, were sunk, and over one hundred ihousai.d dollars worth of property lost by the wrecking of llatboats all by one snag, and all in one season. Think ofthat old snag. Messrs. Representatives, while you arc legislating lor your country, and let it secure at east one good vote from you all fur ihe removal of it aud kindred spirits of evil hidden beneath this waters of this beautiful stream, and the turbid tides of the Missaippi. It is fca.'d to be policy in some seaboard members of Congress to view with great compLcency the obstructions 'in our river navigation and commerce, bee tue tl.ey help build HMern railroads connecting this valley with the seaboard. Let our Ueprescnfatives then, as suggests the Journal, if this be the game, oppose every appropriation for a light-house, breakwater, htm v c-r chart, from l'.:is!nni f in Pei.sacola and let the people t j . 1 2 who have to ur.-re it riv, rD , ' pern me and property on our rove t! . . . j .v. v..ii..iv iiv. j.invo I1IK4I um ; grievances in this respect are redressed. iFor the Dally Journi! ) Ma.
