Local and Miscellaneous. ——— RELIGIOUS NOTICE. Prayer Meetings will be held every day this week in Ingle street M. E. Church, at from 9 1/2 to 10 1/2 A. M. Persons of every religious persuasion are invited to attend. Navigation of Green River. Although a large number of our citizens are deeply interested in the trade of Green river, few, we suspect, are aware how oppressively it is taxed by the State, for the use of the locks and dams. The State's improvements have been of immense benefit to it, but the advantages might be greatly enhanced by an efficient superintendence, and the expense of using them be reduced by a more economical and judicious policy. We have before us a tariff of the tolls paid by steamers ascending and decending [sic] the river; and we are surprised that the people to whom the river the only avenue for their heavy trade, have submitted to the oppressive tax upon their industry so long, uncomplainingly. Every boat ascending or de-

scending pays a lockage of $2 at eac h lock ; , gVe owe our readers nn apology for she pays, besides, on pound freight, nine tjlc uf our outside yesterday morncents toll on every 10d pounds; on every ing. Our pressman was sicjeand the job cabin passenger over 12 years old, she pays ' 0f presswork was undertaken by inexpe$1 00; children and servants half price; on j rieneed - hands. The " inside," however," each horse or mule 25 cents; on hogs or jVhkh contains most of the important readsheep 5 cents; on cattle 15 cents; on every . ing matter, was, we think, sufficiently legihogshead of tobacco 60 cents; on every hie. barrelof pork, beef or lard 10 cents; on every !

shipped by the lot, pay 25 per cent of the gross amount of the freight, as tolls. On the class of boats that are principally engaged in the navigation of the river these tolls amount to sums varying from $200 to $400, per trip; and the amount paid in the course of a year, by the packets that make weekly trips, for tolls, is, frequently, more than the value of the boat; and sometimes nearly equals the cost of running her. These burthens upon their commerce are paid by the people in the Valley of Green river, and not by the people who buy their rich products and sell them their goods.— But as all such impositions have the effect to restrict trade, and retard the progress of the settlement of the country along the banks of that beautiful river, we have an indirect interest in the regulations of its trade sufficient to induce us to do all in our power, to arouse those who directly bear the burden to reduce it if it be possible. The tolls on pound freights, to and from Bowling Green, is one half as much as the whole freight from New Orleans to this city at certain seasons. And the tax of a dollar on each passenger is thirty-three per cent of the price of passage, which is tax enough to discourage intercourse and travel. Now when railroads are about to come into competition with the river navigation, for its transportation, the subject should be brought to the public consideration. The power to regulate the tolls, is, we believe, lodged with the State Board of Internal Improve ments. ———<>——— [<Communicated.> The Daily Union Prayer Meeting, .The day has now passed when there is even a seeming impropriety in appearing in the secular prints i.i advocacy of the spiritual interests of the community. The press has led to this desirable result by the notice it gave of the great revival of the past year. This revival has not passed away as many prophesied it would. We still hear of conversions in all parts of the land. In our own city there is evidently more than ordinray feelings, in several congregations, in reference to the salvation of souls. Would there ' not be a propriety in reviving our Daily Union Prayer Meeting in Crescent City Hall ? This great awakening has been in answer to the united efforts of all the churches. If christians are one in heart, and feeling, and jeffort, God who loves good will amongst mankind, will not withhold lite blessing. What says the religious community to this suggestion. J. J. H. If the Vincennes chess players are sincere in their desire for a trial of skill, it will be seen by the following that our lub is waiting to see the gauntlet thrown: Mr. Cäumlb: If tho Vincennes Chess Club wish to challenge us to a friendly match,' they should send us a communication to that effect. As yet we have heard nothing from then; on the subject, have taken no action in the matter, and have, of coarse, no arrangements to make at present. The Gaztttt having announced the intention of the Vincennes Club to challenge us, we should not feel at liberty now to take the Initiative, even if prepared so to do. , . , The Kvaksvillb Cukss Club.

Mr. Belim's system of instruction is most thorough and efficient, and he has furnished the State with some of the best accountants in it. The school is unusually full this season, and its popularity is increasing. A number of young men from abroad, have passed through the school ander ln3 supervision, all of whom have left it highly pleased with their instructor, and have given entire satisfaction to their parents and fri&nds by their attainments. We regard Mr. Behm's system as the most simpte and complete of any we have inspected, and are "lad to lenrn that he is preparing a book that shall embrace his plan of instruction for publication.

It was for the benefit oft mere dependents on the gra tuity of Government at the expense of the industrial'' classes;"TU-volutionary pension system witnessed no precedent for that now proposed. . . A provision already exists for the public service. ' The idea of pensioningmen for pratriotism was not in accordance, with our institutions. In reply to tha argument that such pensions will stimulate the patriotism and provide against the contingency of a 'large standing army, Mr. Nichols - said that the young men who rallied to onr Mexican War had no stimulus of that kind. ' Patriotism does not need culture.. T; ' .' Nr. Nichols said that according to his calculation nearly $13,000,000 would be required annually to carry out the provisions of the bill.. A pertinent enquiry was, where is the -money to come from?We do not pension those who entered the service of 8I2 and later wars, for their services provided that if any were disabled while in the line of duty, they should be pensioned from date of injury to continue through life. The substitute he offered to the soldiers' bill was Intended to remedy the injustice done this fclass of persons, and to carry out the con--Urct made with them. , If the bill had embraced only those who are dependent and in want, he would have cordially supported it, and he attached his substitute as an amendment. . Alberson, of Mo., said the result of our policy has been to submit to outrages and insults until not only great but the sxiallest nations trampled ou our flag, and infringe on our public and private rights. It is high time for us to assert our proper position and strongly maintain it. The treatment re ceived from Spain has been of the most aggravated character. How can our Government expect to be respected unless it extends protection to our citizens. He did not know what instructions oar Minister to Spain had received,' but he knew it to be the desire of the American people that a demand be made for fall indemnity for all wrongs. If Spain refuses-this, onr Minister should demand his passports and return home, and our Government should , send a squadron to take possession i of Cuba, as indemnity for the past and security for the future, . Our selfrespect demands such a course, and he flattered himself this-would be the policy of the Executive.1 'It was known that France and England Wonld oppose the extension of our territories? . We . want more action and less debate. There is an imperious and unal terable necessity for ohr acquisition of Cuba. hy longer delay ? Let us offer Spain in a fair wav, an exorbitant price for the Island ; if she refuse, then we will be justi tied in tue eyes or all nations, in taking torci ble possessions ' ' Mr Washburnc. of Mo., characterized the Democratic party as an oligarchy the o gan and representative of the slavery pro pagandists and fully committed to execute their commands.

It has noth ing to gain by avoiding real issues. He condemned the principles of squatter sover eignty. He said - it bad quashed Douglas, Cass, -and its other original advocates, aud an omnibus would now contain all who adhere to that doctrine. He advocated legislation by Congress to prohibit slavery in the "territories, and rebrobated the Dred Scott, decision. .--The. .struggle - of freedom over slavery-' had barely begun, and hence it becomes the duty of the, Republican party to remain firm, .,: ;i'r;- ' : The Committee then rose, and the Indian appropriation bill, as amended by the Com mittee was passed by the House, and it then adjourned, li...' . .
