FRIDAY MORXIM, MAY 17 RIVER ITJEJVtsl Cincinnati, May 1G. The river baa fallen 8 inches; 26 J feet in the channel. Weather clear. Mercury 6C. Pittsburg, May 16. River unchanged. Weather cloudy. The river whs fttHine a little at this point yesterday. The weather was beautiful but no business was doing, and no boats running. The cannon manufactured at Kratz Sl Heiltnan's Foundry was tried yesterday . morning from the river bank, before the city. It sent a ball whizzing and skipping over the water at a great distance. U is a good piece, and can be made very effective. To-day the Dunbar goes to Paducah at 1 o'clock, with the mail. She is a firstclass boat and is very prompt. The Maid of the Mist, Capt. John Burbank, runs regularly from the wharf to the camp below the city. She leaves every hour promptly. She did a big business yesterday, large crowds going to see the soldiers in camp. The charge for the round trip is only 10 cents, which places it within the means of all to go. The Charley Uowen came ia at an early hour last night, with the Stars and Stripes flying from her jack staff. Capt. Dexter inform us that the old flag was cheered at all the principal towns in Kentucky and Indiana from here to Cairo. He reports a strong Union feeling in Kentucky. The Maid of the Mist ia trying to pull the ferry boat off yesterday evening, lank her at the Lamasco wharf. No blame is attached to any one, a the ferry boat was very old and rotten, and as she was lying on the rocks, they knocked a hole in her. RAILH'IAU HKCKIPTS. Mat 16th, I8C.1. 1,625 bushels cwrn, J.

NEWS BY TELEGRAPH. 7 7BB E. W. LIKE.. Exclusively for the Journal. Morning 15ispatcB.es. New York, Hay 16. The Times' special Washington dispatch says Secretary Cameron ha3 tendered to Simeon Draper a Colonelcy of a new company of dragoons. Mr. D. has the proposition open for future consideration. herald's special. Washington, May 15. It is understood that the rebel States have made proffers for

the purchase of European and other foreign vesstls, but our Government has notified the diplomatic corps that no such purchases will be respected, no matter what the flag that covers them The language used on this occasion was unequivocal and decided. It has also notified the diplomatic corps i that if any commissions from the rebel I States be received by any European power, : this Government will not hesitate an mitant I to break oiT all diplomatic relations with s:iid offendinpr power, and not only recall ' the Minister of the United States, but dis- ! miss from Washington the Minister of SBid power. It was remarked that the entire dipioma- ; tic body was present at the military soiree of the .Secretarj' of State last night. The Times correspondent says all work upon the Capital was suspended to-day by order of the commissioner of public buildings. A messenger was sent to the commander of the Pawnee now off Alexandria with guns pointed upon th.j town, and it is un-ilt-rjiood the secession flag now floating over that city, will be pulled down. A schooner was seized at Baltimore baring on hoard two boxes of Minie Rifles and three boxes ammunition. Some of the Baltimore police were detected taking boses of Minie Rifles from a warehouse with the evident purpose of secreting them from the government. The arms were seized and taken into camp on Federal Hill. Conclusive evidence has proved beyond a doubt the complicity of the police of Baltimore with the rebels. f he Tribune's correspondent says, having seen it stated that Senator Douglas had received an appointment as Brigadier Geteral, I asked the President if it was so. He said it was not and that he had not thought of tendering it to bun. He also stated that ii Generals were to bs appointed from civil life, he imagined there were many who would be inferior to Douglas in that position. That Senator Douglas was the first to tell him of the anticipated trouble iu Maryland, and to point out the proper route, via Perrysville and Annapolis, and suggested that Fort Monroe and Point Comfort were the points that commanded all that section of the country. Mr. Lincoln referred with pleasure to the f.ict that Mr. Douglas, earlier than any, called upon him announcing his determination to stand by him and approving of his course. The President has promoted Brigadier General Butler, to be henceforth a Major General of the U. S. army. The most significant ofl'er yet made the Government is just received from Scotland. Certain prominent Scotch merchants doing business in this country are resposible for a tender of ten regiments unequipped. but well built, hardy, active men, who are receiving eleven dollars a month abo've their living, and who are ready and willing to enter the service of the United States for the war, be it long or short, on condition that at the end of the war our Government will grant them each a bounty of land. Two Yachts, belonging to private individuals, have to-day been formally accepted by the Government for service, and detailed for service by the Treasury Department. Their ow ners, Jas. G. Bennett Jr., of New York, and Key P. Ives, of Providence, R. I. have been commissioned as Lieutenants, in the revenue service, and are ordered to their respective veso!3 as Lieutenants commanding. Noon Dispatches. New Yohk, May 1G. The Herald states that on the 17th ult. the War Department issued an order directing the commanders of Ft. Smith, Arkansas, I'ts. Cobb, Gibson, and Washata, to evacuate and repair with their troops and property to Ft. Leavenworth, aud authorizing the occupation of these posts by Arkansas volunteers called out by the first proclamation by the President. This explains the abandonment of Ft, Smith by it3 federal garrison some time since. The Government to-day received advices from the squadron off Fort Pickens. No change up to the last date in the military status. In accordance to instructions, they had put a stop tothe landing of vessels from Mobile and New Orleans with supplies for the rebel army, being a complete blockade. It appears the rebel troops have been almost wholly supplied with provisions from these two ports. The stopping of the supplies at this time, it is thought, will operate most disastrously to the troops, as they were but poorly supplied before. The World's Washington dispatch slates that the police had been required to take the oath of allegiance. Another spy had been arrested in th Pennsylvania Camp. It is rumored that Virginia troops wei encamped in the rear of Arlington Height, two miler fromWashinjiton. The rumor is not credited, although all troops are ordered to sleep on their arms, with artillery on the alert, with doubleshotted guns. there was another attempt at rtot in Pratt Street, Baltimore, on the occasion of the passage of the Doylstown Guards, with the Ringgold Battery, but the fact being known, every man had a loaded rifle, which deterred an attack. Sr. Louis, May 16. The testimony in the case of the Walnut Street tragedy, on Saturday evening, was closed yesterday, and the following verdict was rendered : Six of the persons shot at Walnut Street were killed by musket balls discharged by U. S. soldiers, under commaud of officers unknown to the jury; that two of the persons killed at the same time, were killed by pistol shots fired by persons unknown to the jury. The Keokuk and Quincy papers say hun dreds of Union men have been driven out of Missouri, under orders issued by tho council of the Southern Legion. A dispatch from St. Aubert to the Democrat, says Dr. Leirler, residing at Liberty Township, near Osage bridge, has been ar rested and sent to Jefferson City for trial. The military encampment of about two. hundred state troops at St. Joseph, mostly armed with guns recently taken from the irsenal at Liberty, were disposed of on the ith. Enlisting at the arsenal continues active, about 300 having been received yesterday. It is understood Hyde Park, in the northern fart of the city has been leased by the Government and that a regiment of troops will be gathered there.

Acgcsta, Ga., May 16. We learn on good authority that the southern stock holders of the Adams Express Company Lave purchased all the property privileges and interests of the Company in the Southern Confederacy, and a new Company will be organized in a few days. The business will continue without interruption.

Montgomery, Ala., May 16. In Congress yesterday Smith of Alabama offered a resolution in reference to establishing a District Court in Virginia. Mr. Keilt offered a bill for the protection of Indian Tribes South of Kansas. Otherwise, the proceedings of Congress was unimportant. Baltimore, May 16. The New York and Massachusetts troops withdraw from federal hill this morning, taking half of their battery with them, and returned to the Relay House. Nbw York, May 16. The steamer Chesapeake and Parkersburg sail this afternoon for Pensacola and Key West. The gun boat Mt. Vernon accompanies as a convoy. LAST NIGHT'S DISPATCHES. Habrtsbcroh, May 16. It i3 now reported that Major Anderson simply told Gov. Curtin as a report, not as a fact, that John C. Breckinridge was to take a federal command nnder him. Seventy-five members of the House, lieaded by the Speaker, have tendered their ser vices to the Government. Nbw Yore, May 1C. The Post's special dispatch says the Government will receive troops as fast as they can advantageously ba used. Estra Billy Smith arrived here to-day and visited the War Department. He is in low spirits, and says Virginia is aroused and means to fight, but the sight of the vast preparations have evidently oppressed him. The first mail from New York via Baltimore, which has left here since the 19th of April, was made up to-day. air. Llepnane entered on his duties as post master here to-day. A special to the Commercial sava Gen'l Butler has received; orders to take com mand of an important exnedition. It is believed here that Virginia seces sionists have erected batteries at Aquaia Creek to prevent an approach to Richmond. Certain developments indicate that the government wiil make aggressive demon strations in a short time. New York, May 16. The Post's dispatch says Congressman Ashley, of Ohio, propo ses a plan to float an army down thu Missis sippi river to take New Oilcans. The World s dispatch say3 it is believed 10.000 Pennsylvanians are moving towards Maryland. The transfer of Gen. Butler to Fortress Monroe, and the sending there ot large quantities of stores, is believed to indicate important movements. Advices from Fort Monroe state that on Monday a large band of secessionists, of Hampton, sent a deputation to Col. Dimmick, demanding the sole possession of the road leading across the dyke, which has been lately under guard. Uimmicks reply was that he would give the rebels just ten minutes to disperse. Two companies of Massachusetts troops were ordered northward, aud cannon were placed so as to rweep the entire distance. The Colonel, with a watch in hand, waited for the expiration of the time, when not a rebel was to be se;ti. Two hundred Massachusetts troops tt".-k possession of the dyke and bridge. New York, May 1G. A jrivate letter from the wife of a leading piiirician of the Confederate Government to a friend in this city, speaks as follows: Nottijtrners need to have no expectations in regard to the bones of Washington. We will see that they are not desecrated by the touch of abolition hands. They are our sacred inheritance. Madison, Wis., May 1G. The Legislature of this State convened to-day in extra session. Gov. Randall's message recommends that six regiments in addition to the one now waiting orders, Vie put into camp, and equipped ; also that one million be appropriated for war purposes. ST. Louis, May 16. Camp Springs, ia western Hyde Park, northern end Heights, near the reservoir, in the north-western part of the city, was occupied by the U. S. troops to-day, as a precautionary and protective measure. The march of the troops through the city was quiet. Capt. McDonald, an order for whose release was made by fobaes corpus, is in Col. McArthur's camp at Caseyville, Illinois. He was taken across the river in a skiff Monday night, and marched under guard to Camp Bisswll. Unsuccessful attempts to rescue the prisoner were made between the arsenal gate and the river, by a considerable number of persons, and the prompt arrival of re-inforce-ments and a few remarks from Capt. McDonald himself prevented trouble. Cincinnati, May 16. Col. Anderson arrived this afternoon, and was met at the depot by a committee of the city council. Mayor Hatch tendered the hospitalities of the city, to which Col. Anderson replied briefly. He was then escorted througn the principal streets by the Home Guards, and an immense throng of citizens. Everywhere along the line of march tha most hearty expressions of welcome were given. At Camp Dennison the soldiers were drawn up in line, presenting arms as the train passed. Col. Anderson is the guest of his brother, Larz Anderson. Philadelphia, May 16. It seems Lieut. Tilden, aid-de-camp to Maj. McClelland, of the Ohio troops, accompanied the train on which Col. Anderson was a passenger, to Harrisburgh, and when at Middletown, he received a letter from a friend in Kentucky, desiring him to inform Col. Anderson that Mr. Breckinridge would meet him in Cincinnati to takea command under him, and to assist in organizing the federal troops in Kentucky. Col. Anderson received the intelligence with warmth, as Mr. Breckinridge was an old personal friend, but it is said he remarked, the news is almost too good to be true. The fact of Col. Anderson's mentioning the circumstance to Gov. Curtin, came from a reliable source. SPEECIAL TO TUB HFRALD. Wheeling, May 16th. Passengers who have returned here this morning, who attempted to reach Baltimore by the B. & O. R. R., report that two culverts on the road near Harper's Ferry have been blown up, and the trains removed. A number of secessionists have arrived from below, and report the temporary detention of a party of Virginians,including Judge Brockenbrough, a member of the Montgomery Congress, at Gallipolis, Ohio. New York, May 16. The propeller Bowman, of Troy, Capt. Clark, arrived this morning. She left Fortress Monroe Monday afternoon, and bring3 the remainder of the women and children from the Fortress.

Washington, May 1 5. None of the managers of the Mt. Vernon Society resid- : ing here have knowledge of the reported i removal of the remains of Washington, bei yond what has been published in the newsI papers. They reasonably presume that if ' the facts were as reported, those in charge j of that place would before this hour have i informed them. i From representations made to the De- ! partment, it is probable that nearly all, if j not the entire river service, ill be officially ) discontinued in a few days in the seceded i states.

New Orleans, May 16. The report that commissioners had been sent from Havana to Montgomery has been denied. The Post Master General at Montgomery says by proclamation he will commence the mail service on the first of June. Cincinnati .Market. Cincinnati, May 16. Flour unchanged and dull.

From the JilaUison Courier. gSSy'No section of the State has suffered so much in its business, made as heavy sacrifices, as the Ohio river border; nor has any section furnished a larger number of volunteers. Madison and Madison townhip, in Jefferson county, have poured out their b-ist citizens, contributed bountifully of theij means to aid the State and National Administration to prepare for the war. Our business men, before the Administration made the order, refused to ship provisions to Louisville, Kentucky, because they would be sent thence to the seceding States. Traders did this in the face of a positive refusal of Governor Morton to advise a suspension of shipments of provisions from Indianapolis. The trade and business of the border counties is in ruins, while that of the interior moves on almost as usual. The border counties are in the only danger which threatens the State an invasion by the rebels while the vallevs of the Wabash and White Water are comparatively safe. All tho men and means put into the hands of the Governor will be expended iu utter disregard to the wants, sacrifices, condition and position of the border counties south of the National Road. Governor Morton appears to know no North, no Soutli, no East, no West, below the line of the old NationalTurnpike Road. We are told the Governor bus contracted with an iron founder in Cincinnati for S20,000 worth of cannon. There are no foun. drie3 north of the "National Road" of sufficient capacity to manufacture cannon, but there are at Evausville, New Albany, Madison, and perhaps at Aurora. Iu the universal stagnation of the business on the border, this job would have been of material assistance to the foundryrnen of this city, or to any of the cities we have named; but without inquiry, without asking proposals, the Governor hurried off to Cincinnati and gave the State's mite to the operatives of that city. The border counties ate not only robbed of their means of defense, but their money, and the money of the people of the state is sent to Ohio for cannon. We have ("thank God ") men enough and money enough left to guard and defend the Jefferson county border. So, we believe, have the other border counties. All that is required is unity of action. In view of all the facts presented, we suggest that the border counties hold county mass mcetiugs, preparatory to a grand mass meeting of ail the counties along the Ohio river, including Jennings, Jackson, &c, &c, to take the management of all mutters pertaining to the arming of tho Home Guards and for the defense of the border into their own keeping. We propose, further, that a county meeting be held in this city on Saturday, 18th int, atone o'clock in t he afternoon, and that every orgunized volunteer company in tha county be requested to march into the city a'.-t ntU'nd the tr;.et,ing, to consult as to the li.?t means of procuring arms and munition, and for the expression of the public sentiment in regsrd to the action of the State Administration in the disposition of the armed force of tae State, the manufacture of cannon, and the delay in furnishing guns for the Home Guards. We make these suggestions in no party spirit indeed without consulting the leaders of either party ; we speak upon our own individual responsibility, in hope that the people Democrats, Americans and Republicans will be induced to act for themselves in this important crisis, when dinger is the more iminent because ef the imbecility of the executive of the State. The people of the border counties must not depend upon the State or Nation. Selfdefense is the first law of nature, and to be well prepared to repel aggression is the best method ot preventing aggression. Wrarly F ive IlumtreU Ralls In a Minute. An intrument of death has been invented, and was exhibited in New York on Friday, which is intended to throw an uninterrupted stream of four hundred and eighty balls per minute. The machine experimented with yesterday consists of a gun barrel about three feet long, at the breech of which is attached a flange or balance wheel. The balls aro thrown into this wheel, pass iuto the gun barrel and out at the muzzle with a speed and force proportionate to t' e number of revolutions of the wheel ; the t'ormer, however, being limited, from natural causes, to about four hundred and eighty balls. Rapid motion is given the flange or balance wheel by means of a combination of gear wheels ; the motive power being applied at a large fly wheel which is operated by stx men at cranks. The gun was stationed at the foot of Thirty-third street, North river, and a target was placed at a distance of fifty yards. Most of the balls took effect in the target, passing through three thicknesses of boards. The gun waa afterwards raised to an elevation of thirty degrees and pointed across the river where the shower of balls was seen dropping into the water on the opposite shore, a distance of about one mile. The machine operates with but little noise, other than the hum of the wheels and the clank of the balls as they pass into the gun barrel. Thi3 small one is chiefly intended for street firing or close action. A thirty-two pounder ha3 also been completed, which can be driven by steam, upon the same principle. - An effort will be made to induce the Government to patronize this new invention, and it is said, Mr. McLeod Murphy intends taking one for bis regiment. -Vo York Commtrcial Advertiser. Arms must be scarce in Charleston. A man advertises in the Mercury that he has one five-barreled pi3tol and a bayonet, found in Fort Sumter, for sale. It is rumored that Professor Mitchell is to have command of a Brigade of volunteers from New York State.

ANew Weapos The Steam Gun Ex - celled. The Cincinnati Press gives the following description of an invention by a couple of Cincinnati mechanics, which it thinks excels anything yet invented down East: A model of the proposed gun has already been furnished to, and inspected by, General ! McClellan, and he is highly delighted with ! it, as any one must be who understands anything of the nature of fire arms. It will

consist of twelve (or any number) ordinary gun-barrels of one, two, or three ounce ' calibre, placed on a revolving cylinder, be- ; hind which is some simple rotary machine ry, to wnicn a crantc is attached, and so i constructed that at every revolution one of j the barrels of the gun is loaded and another j discharged, so that the only limit to the 1 number of shot3 fired per minute is the capacity of the manager to turn the crank, which can easily be made to revolve three times per second. The Minie cartridges are used, and placed in a tube and adjusted by the machinery. The Maynaw primer is employed for igniting the powder, and when one is consumed another can be supplied in a few seconds. It is mounted on wheel, like a fitld-piece but is so light that it can be easily managed and pointed by a single person. In order to make it effective three men will be required one to adjust it, one to supply cartridges to the tube, and a third to fire it. If any thing should occur that it becomes necessary to abandon it in the field, the crank can be taken off, and the screw battered, so that it can not be employed in pursuft. It will thus be made as useless to the enemy as a spiked cannon. The inventors, who are young, and without capital, propose to furnish one, on tie plan of the model exhibited, for 230, and insure it to be effective ; and there is little j .i i. . i l.i ...i . .. . .

In the regiment are over one hundred graduates of colleges and any number of first-rate mechanics. The o ulcers pride themselves on the Green Mountain Boys as marksmen, and capable of undergoing any amount of fatigue without a grumble. Iris stated on undoubted authority, that the officer.! of the United States army captured in Texas, after the treason of Twiggs, who were released on giving their parole not to bear arms against the Southern Confederacy, will all be required to renew their full obligations to the Government. A refusal to re-take the oath will be met by instant dismissal from the service. "1ISCELLANL0US.
