Greeu: Grey Eagle No. 2, Henderson and Louisville. ......The <Weather> at this point continues uncomfortably warm, with no immediate prospect for change. ......The <River> is now on the decline again throughout its whole extent. Latest accounts report only 32 inche in the channel at Pittsburg, and 20 inches on Glasshouse bar. On Blanny and Buffington, scant 3 feet were reported, and several steamers were lying at Blanny, unable to get up. At Wheeling there were 35 inches in the channel. At Cincinnati the river was receding at the rate of about one foot in 24 hours, with 7 feet in the channel thence to Louisville. At the latter place there was but little over 4 feet of water in the canal, and rapidly declining. Portland bar is again becoming troublesome. The river in this vicinity is falling quite fast, with about 4 feet on Scuffletown and 6 feet on Caseyville bars. It is about stationary at Cairo, with 14 feet thence to St. Louis. The Mississippi at that point was receding at the rate of 5 inches in 24 hours, at latest advices. The Upper Mississippi was falling from St. Paul down, with 4 feet on the Upper and 33 inches on the Lower Rapids. The sinking of the hull of the steamer Challenge, on the Lower Rapids, has caused no little trouble to boats passing up and down. The hull was loaded with grain, &c., and was in tow of the Clara Mines. After that was sunk, a lighter, which was along side taking off the freight, was also sunk, completely blocking the channel. The Lower Mississippi is falling, with about 12 feet water at President's Island. .......<Business> is still drooping, and although the regular packets manage to get loads, outside boats stand a poor chance for freight. ......The new light draught steamer, <L. C. Ferry>, was here yesterday evening on her first trip in the Louisville and Evansville trade. Notwithstanding she received several delays on her way down, she was only 21 hours in making the trip. Although a fleet boat already, a few slight altercations [sic] are to be made in her machinery by which her speed will be much improved. She is a beautifully modelled side wheel steamer, and is finished in the neatest style, having one of the best furnished cabins on the river, with every appliance for the convenience and comfort of passengers. There are 24 state rooms, 8 of which are in the ladies cabin. They are all supplied with spring mattresses, and most luxuriously fitted up. The clerk's office, bar and pantry are nicely arranged. The <Ferry> is in charge of Capt. Ham. Smith, an experienced boatman and clever gentleman. Her Clerks Mr. Albert Gregg and Mr. Austin, are gentlemen in the truest sense of the word. She was built especially for this trade, her owners are determined to keep her where she is, and passengers and shippers may depend upon finding her there. ......The U. S. mail packet <Bowling Green> is due from Green river this morning, and returns to-day. Passengers and shippers will take notice that she is the only boat now running to Bowling Green. .......The new <Grey Eagle>, the star steamer, will be down from Louisville and return this evening. She is a perfect model of a boat, light, fleet and commodious, in charge of Capt. Donally, with Mr. J. A. Lusk in the office gentlemanly and efficient officers. Mr. John B. Hall, at I. A. Crane's, Water street, is her agent for this place. ......The <Bracelet> from Louisville to Memphis was advertised to leave the Portland wharf yesterday evening, and should pass here to-day. ......The <Trio>, which made several trips between this and Louisville has been laid up on account of hard times. She might have done better if she had been more regular in her movements, so that people would know where to find her. ......The following boats were advertised to leave Cincinnati yesterday: The <S. P. Bibbard>, for Cairo, <Lebanon> and <Ida May> for St. Louis, and the <Fred Tron> for New Orleans. The <W. I. McClay> left on Tuesday for St. Louis, and the <Lady Franklin> and <Clara Poe> leave for Memphis to-day. ......The Dry Dock at Madison, Ind., was launched on Saturday. It is 192 feet long, 50 feet broad, and 9 feet deep, with capacity to take in any boat which will go through the canal at Louisville. The Dock will be ready for business in eight or ten days. ......A meeting of steamboat mates will be held in Cincinnati on Friday, at the rooms of the Pilots' Association. The object of the meeting, we understand, is to take some steps in regard to petitioning Congress to grant them license, same as pilots and engineers. A petition has been in circulation for the last three or four weeks in that city, and has received the signature of most of the prominent boatmen. The Engineers' Association at that port, we learn, have determined to charge $500 on sidewheel boats, and $300 on sternwheel boats. ......The Waverly (Mo.) <Journal> thus tersely, and very accurately describes the Missouri river: The Missouri is a great river. It is the longest, the widest, the narrowest, the crookedest, the muddiest, the deepest, the shallowest, the <bar>-iest the snaggiest, the sandiest, the catfishiest, the swiftest, the steamboatiest, and uncertain river in the world.

Hugh McKelvey presiding, resolutions were passed denouncing in the most unqualified terms the conduct of Capt. A. D. Miller of the steamer <Bay City>, on the occasion of the explosion of the <Ben Lewis> at Cairo, a few weeks since. The report of the committee appointed to investigate the matter pronounced the statements contained in Capt. Miller's recently published attempt at self-vindication palpably false. ......N. W. Graham & Co., of Cairo are about contracting at Cincinnati for a wharf boat 320 feet long, 60 feet beam, and 7 feet depth of hold for their business at Cairo. ———<>——— Chicago, July 17. The leading friends of Bell and Everett, from various counties in this State, held a business meeting here to-day, and resolved to call a State Convention to meet at Decatur on the 15th of August, to nominate electors and State officers. New York, July 17. John Morrissey publishes a challenge to John C. Heenan, offering to fight him in four months, for from $100 to $10,000 a side. New Orleans, July 17. Thirty-three buildings, comprising the best portion of the town of Dallas, Texas, were burned on the 7th. Loss between $:;00,000 and $600,000. Gex. Lane having been accused of voting when a member of the Indiana Legislature, for the Wilmot Proviso under instructions, the Washington Constitution says: We are authorized by Gen. Lane to say that this statement is utterly false. The question was never discussed in the legislature of Indiana while Gen. Lane was a member. It might have been before the legislature while he wa3 fighting the battles of his country in Mexico : but not while he was in that body. Gen. Lane left for Mexico in May, 1846, and the question of the Wilmot proviso was not introduced into Congress till the 12th of August, 1846 ; and, as is well known; Geu. Lane never entered the legislature of Indiana after he returned from the Mexican war. O. & M. R. It Change of timk. On the 15th an extra train waa put on the Eastern end of this road, leaving Vincennes at 4, A. M., for Cincinnati. Returning, it leaves Cincinnati at 2 P. M., and arrives here at 10:35. This will be a great accommodation to people along the whole line of the eastern end of the road. We observe that the Company have made a reduction of 20 to 25 per cent on old rates. Vin. Sun. The Crops. In the South the wheat crop is now believed to be a little more than half an average. The central belt the Whitewater, White river, and the Wabash, on either side the National road includes every variety of yield, from a clean crop of cheat up to a clean crop of wheat, the average of the latter being about a medium crop. In the northern part of the State there seems to be a greater variety in different sections, but a better general promise than was anticipated a month ago. The berry, in all parts of the State, is larger than usual, and very fine. Altogether the crop in the entire State is an average. If it had all been drilled in the entire crop would have been about 2,000,000 bushels greater. Indeed twenty-five per cent, is the general estimate of the vield, per acre, of the drilled over undrilled wheat, among farmers. Indiana Farmer. Perky County. The Democracy of this county held their nominating Conventional Leopold, on the 7th inst., Hon. John C. Shoemaker, President and J. B. Maynard, Secretary. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted : Retolved, That this Convention recognize the Baltimore Democratic Convention,wbich nominated Stephen A. Douglas for President, as the only National Democratic organization of the Democratic party. Resolved, That this Convention indorses the acts of the said National Democratic Convention. The following ticket was nominated : For Representative, Hamilton Smith, Esq., for Treasurer, G. W. Patterson; for Sheriff, Alfred Vaughan ; for Surveyor, Dan'l R. McKim ; for Coroner, Jacob Pearce ; for Commissioner, Samuel Hyde. Mr. Smith declined the nomination, but the Convention did not accept it. We learn from the Petersburgh Reporter that a number of horse thieves are in that neighborhood, and that four horses wen stolen from parlies near there last week. No clue has yet been had to the thieves. Yin. Sun.

DR. HAAS, having leased the rooms formerlyoc copied by Dr. Kivett, in Dr. Bray's building, opposite the Post Office, for a series of years, would re- , sportfully solicit the citizens of Evansville and the 1 surrounding towns and country, o visit his rooms and see the ypecimens on exhibition, w hether they need the services of a Dentist or not. Since the issuing of his hist circular and adver- t tisement, over a year siuce, several improvements and new inventions have been made, of which he has availed himself, and allows nothing that will : subserve the interests of his patients, to pass uusecured. His facilities are better and establishment Wrger, without doubt, thar any other in our State, and equal te any in Eastern cities. All those who eed Dental operations performed, and are pleased with his work, shall be attended to with great pleasure. The follow ing are the styles of work nianufactur- ' ed by him: Continuous Gum; Block or t arved Work; Vulcanite Base; Coralite; Amlr; Chaoataa- , tic; Gold aud Silver work. Nothing can excel the beauty and cleanliness of , the continuous gum work. It is without a seam or crevice. Cheeks that are suuken can be restored i to nearly their origiual c. utour by this style of work, and also by the use of the Vulcanite, Coralite, and Amber Base. The latter styles, for light- ; ness and adaptation to difficult mouths, excel on- , ceis anything we have ever swell. He has several ansrsthcth'S for alleviating pan, when extracting teeth. They are perlectly harm- , less. The moet delicate can have thein applied. He does not advertise anything he cannot do, nor exhibit anything not made by himself Parents should consult the health aud beauty of their children by having the Dentist direct their ' second dentition, thereby producing symmetry and ' heaith to those invaluable organs. Irregularity of children's teeth coirected sue cessfuily. Thoe having docayi d teeth, should either have them extracted or tilled at once ttb" latter it posMbie).
