i uuo Dally Flail Line. On the First of February a new daily mail line will commence its operations between Louisville and St. Louts. vWe underhand this line will be composed cf swift and excellent boats, starting from each port every day in under the be left officers We shall publish a list of boats, soon as tney are all known. This line will secure us punctuality in the delivery of the Eastern mail at Evacsville. an important matter. Capt. T. B. Johssos. In a recent trip up the river, we had the pleasure of traveling twice on the old and exce'Ier.t Louisville and Cincia.au, packet Ben Franklin. In the absence of her vetrean commander, Sum-. mons, she is under charge of Capt. T. B. Johnson, one of the clevereft and most accommodating gentleman with whom we ever traveled. Without neglecting any of his official duties, Capt. J. seemed to have a peculiar happiness in making the acquaintence of all bis passengers, (including ladies and children!) and administering in a multitude of ways to their comfort. So admirably indeed does he appear to be adapted to the business of making a boat popular with its pas sengers end with the public generally, that we wonder he has cot now the permanent command of some floating palace. We have known Capt. J. for years, and within our knowledge there is not a man on the river better calculated to secure popularity for a new boat, or for a beat on a new line, among business men and travelers, than be is. We eay this voluntarily, but freely, and hope soon to hear of hi relinquishing bis Mail Agency up : the river, for some fine boat passing Evansville, where we may occasionally see bis good humored countenance. C3The large steamer Atlantic, command ed by Capt. John Boffin ger, passed up last Saturday. She will be down on her way to New Orleans Wednesday or Thursday. We call the especial attention of shippers and travelers to her, as a large, substantial and fast steamer. She has already made some engagements for this place, bui should make a few mo e. Capt. Boffinger has been in Boors at AxrcTios. The attention of those who are fond of good books is directed to the very choice collection to be sold at auction at the auction store of Messrs. Woolsey &. Nelson, this and following evenings this week. Among them are a great variety of standard and rare books seldom to be found at such sales. HMr. Twitchell, of the firm of Twitchell & Mogridge, St. Louis, having recently died. Mr. Jos. Mogridge succeeds the old firm in the Commission and Forwarding business. His advertisement will be found in to-day'g paper. We can recommend his house to the attention of those wishing business in its line transacted at St. Louis. ?r The Right Rev. G Upfold, Bishop of Indiana, preached in the Episcopal church on Sunday last His se-mons in the morning and evening were able, logical, and delivered with a degree of force and animation rarely equalled by ministers of the Bishop's advanced age. The church was unusually well attended. tCf The steamer Hungarian, was at our wharf on Sunday in a sinking condition. She struck a log some miles below here which caused her to take water freely; she' waa lightened and pumped out, and went on her way. CCr The Lady Franklin passed up yesterday morning from St. Louis. She is i ne of the best packets oa the river, and an excellent boat in every particular. She will be down on her return trip, Wednesday nightWe thank her clerk, 3Ir. E. Latapel, for papers. Fise x Vixcijeses. We learn by tele graph that the residence of I. N. Whittlesey, at Vincennes, caught fire last Saturday night at 1 J o'clock, and burnt to the ground. A one-story dwelling belonging to Dr. Sowm, was also burned, with a stable, &c, Loss about 84000. (CTThe Canal Aqueduct across White .) river, about which interested parties have ." entertained great fears about its standing severe freshets, was sorely tried by the recent ? flood, and instead of being injured, is reported , to have been greatly improved. CrOn Saturday evening, the river was : rising slowly at St. Louis, with ten feet water N in channel to Cairo. Cr-Sunday and yesterday were bright and t beautiful days a very happy change liter .1 1 - . 3- . .1 i the late dismal weather.

People, however, who live in sucb very glassy houses shouldn't throw stones at poor Cairo, which wa3 un touched by the late flood! CO" Petitions are being carried around among families in this city for signers, prayinz the Lesfislature to demolish all minutetories and sale-shops of liquor in the State.

G7JIuch as we regret the election cf Pettit alias "Old Piety," to the U.

Howfar his faculty alluded to may be useful to the Democracy, they may know we don't.

The lt dispatch received from the spiritual spheres which has reached our ear, was one declaring the editor of the Journal a "little scrub," for his article on Spiritual Rappings! This effort appears to have so exhausted the spiritual world and all its mediums, as to render them powerless for the present. Wabash.

How "veil do their volume and grandeur accord with this mighty building. With what pomp do they swell through its vaults, and breathe their awful harmony through these cöves of death, and make the silent sepulchre vocal! And now they rise in triumphant acclamation heaving higher and higher their accordant notes, and piling sound on sound. And now they pause, and the soft voices of the choir break out into sweet gushes of the melody; they soar aloft, and warble along the roofand seem to play about these lofty vaults like pure airs of heaven. Again the pealing organ heaves its thrilling thunders, compressing air into music, and rolling it forth upon the soul. What long-drawn cadences! What solemn,' sweeping cords! It grows more dense and powerlul it fills the vast pile, and seems to jar the very walls. And now it is winding up in full jubilee it is rising from the earth to heaven the very soul seems rapt away, and floating upwards on this swelling tide of harmony! Irving. The Pardoxixg Power. The Governor of S.uth Carolina, in his annual message, promulgates the following rule which he adopts as a guide, in the exercise of the pardoning power: "In relation to the pardoning power, whenever petitions shall be presented for pardon, the report of the Jud;;e who tried the cases is not to be omitted. The facility with which appeal for mercy can te obtained, are too well understood to weigh with the Executive : and to enable the Governor to dispense the high prerogative of mercy which is a constitutional bequest it is manifest that a dispassionate statement should be made. This determination is absolute." ("Benedict Arnold never married until he was forty years of age, and see what an end he made! Eocchmge Paper. Yes but we never oeard of Arnold doing any thing bad until after ho was married. Hi wife was the daughter of a tory. .CO" Why are the boxes of a theatre like the mourners at a funeral! Because they are always in" "tiers." The youth that perpetrated the above, a few moments afterwards, made an attack on hia life with sa India-rcbber chieel.
