THE RIVCR.-It is reported here that there has been a gencr.d rise in the North Branch, during the present week.

DatviEttsitt.Leas Pl:"..s.srB.—Druckermi ler, of Mount Joy, has again been backing the winged step I, and sends us the result of his inspiration in "A Touch of High Life," "Miss Miller," and "Retrospection No. 3."

Sick as we, with the rest of mankind, were of that af• fair, as recordea by "Special Correspon dents," and illustrated in "Journals of Cir ilization," we can not repress an awakened interest in Druckermiller's "peculiar" rer Kinn.

TEE CHICAGO CONVENTION.—On Friday 13th ult., the Republican National Conven tion concluded its labors by the nomination of Abram Lincoln, of Illinois, for President, and Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine, for Tice President. Mr. Lincoln was nominated on tho third ballot, .and Mr. Hamlin on the second. Both nominations were afterwards made unanimous. On the first ballot the cote stood : Seward, 173 k ; Lincoln, 102 ; Bates, 48 ; Cameron, 50i : AuLean, 12 ; Chase. 49 ; Dayton, 14; Fremont, 1 ; Sumner, 1; Wade, : Read, 1 ; Collamer, 10 ; Whole number of rote., 465. Necessary to a choice, 233. 13Jfure the secaud ballot Cameron's name was withdrawn. U. F. BR USER. The opposition to Seward from the Mid ale and Western States was very determin ed, and Lincoln carrying the greatest weight in the doubtful Western States, was selected as the man on whom the opponents of Se ward could unite. - The nominations were received with great enthusiasm in the We=t, And although the friends of Seward feel 'teenly the defeat of their favorite, the ticket will doubtless be earnestly supported in all he free States. Abram Lincoln, the nominee fur the Presi dency, is fifty one years of age, a native of Kentucky, of ganker descent. His family removed to southern Indiana where he grew up. Oa attaining his majority he went to Illinois, where he worked first as a day laborer, then as a clerk. Ho served as cap. min of it company through the Black Hawk war. Ile afterwards was elected to the State Legislature, serving through four ses done. Isa the meantime he studied law and was a Imitted to the bar; ho soon distin eai•hed himself as an able advocate. Ile was elected to Congress in 184 G and served tie term. In 1811 he w,ts the Whig candi late for U. S. Senate, but as the party was rn a minority he declined in favor of Judge Carbon, anti-Nebraeka Demoerat, who was eleete I. The Senatorial Campaign of 1 1830, however, is the most prominent end best known event in Mr. Lincoln's public career. He was selected by his party to oppose Sent!„tor D 'ogles' re election to the U. S Senate. 11 eh candidate :I stumped the State, during the Summer and fall of '5B, their respective speeehee attracting national ettentioe. Lincoln obtained a popular ma jority of the nearly 'l,OOO votes, but the dis. tricting of the State being in favor of the lemocracy. Douglas obtained a majerity , in the legislature, by which he was re-eleet wl to his present seat in the Senate of the United States. It is without doubt to this campaign against Douglas that Mr. Lincoln owes his present position. lie is represen ted to be a man of unblemished honor, and of great benevolence. Ile is idolized in his own seetion, and familiar! known and spo kea of by the affeetioeate diminutive of "Old Abe." Mr. Hamlin, Mr. Lineolie's second in the great National. race, is the present U. S. Senator from Maine. Ile is of the same ago as Mr. Lincoln, a native of the state which he represents. Ile is a lawyer by profession, and has served in the State Leg islature and in Congress. He was elected to the U. S. Senate in 1848, for four years of an unexpired term. In 1851 ho was ro• elected for six years. During this period ho was a democrat, but separated from his party on the Kansas Nebraska question.— In 1856 ho was • elected Governor of his native state, and resigned his seat in the Senate is J..nuAry, 1357, when he was in augnrated Governor. The same month he was re elected to the Senate for six years, and resigned Om Governorship to resume his Senatorial duties. Ile is regarded as a man of good abilities and untainted character.

The most destructive tornado ever known here passed over the city last evening. It came from the south- west in a den.e black cloud, two miles broad, rushing forward with fearful rapid ity, and accompanied by thunder, lightning and torrents of rain. It demoliAied and unroofed houses causing damages estimated at half a million. A great many persons were injured and six were killed outright. Among the buildings injured were the new Commercial hotel, the roof of which was blown off end carried a distance of a ' whole square. The wall fell through to Johnson's saloon, injuring many persons. The steeple of St. Joseph's Church was blown down. Almost all the public buildings, school houses and churches, besides a largo num ber of dwellings were unroofed or other wise damaged- The telegraph lines were prostrated in every direction, consequently but littlo is known as to the damage in the country; but us far as ascertained it has caused great obstructions to travel on the railroad line. The Cincinnati and Dayton railroad is covered with fallen timber. Tho country along the Minmi railroad between here and Cleveland has suffered terribly. The rail road depot and other buildings were demol ished at Cleveland, as also the railroad slip at Lawrence. The Catholic Seminary at Brighton was unroofed ; also the Catholic Orphan Asy. him at Cumminsville. The road between Cumminsvilic and Brighton is also covered with forest trees torn up by the roots. The storm raged with fearful violence along the river. The steatners at the levee, however, being safely moored, received no damage. The schooner Virginia Horne, when two miles above the city, was capsized and stove to pieces. her three passengers were saved, but two of the seamen lost. A train on the CON ington and Lexington ttaitnrod was blown from the track, There are no traces of the storm on the Ohio and Mississippi road and west of Law renceburg, but from that point east ite erects are seen everywhere. North•west of the city the storm appears to have estonded seven miles on the line of the Marietta and Cincin nati Railroad. The locomotive and baggage-cnrs wore Jemolished, but the passengers escaped in- ME A heavy rain followed, continuing till of ter midnight, drenching the roofless habita tions. It is impossible to enumerate all all dam age done. Scarcely a house in the city escaped injury. Trees were uprooted, houses unroofed, and a wide-spread destruction of poperty in 'all directions. Great fears are felt for the steamboats and coal vessels on tho river above. Tat SCRIT.CITED TICE-EL—Some years ago, when our readers, as a general rule, were much younger than they now are, there flourished in a Northern city an active and enthusiastic politician, named Poler, more commonly called—no doubt to distinguish him from the lesser members of the family —Big Poler. He was an important man in his party, and superintended the canvassing and elections with such an uninterrupted train of good luck, that his friends main tained the supremacy year after year, to the utter confusion and dismay of the op nosition. To be sure, the said opposition did most wickedly contend that the majorities were as much owing to the supernumerary bal lots which Poler personally introduced, as to the wide-spread popularity of his politi cal faith. Be that as it may, his own party looked upon his management as being in fallible, and freely wagered, when takers could be got, upon the success of their can didates. So much was this so, that when, on an election day, towards the close of the voting, some evil-minded person poked his head out of the window and announced : "One hundred majority for the opposition !" instead of the Big'un's friends being at all disconcerted, they threw up their hats triumphantly, and yelled, "It can't be, while Poler's inside l" The opposition had long :since given up the affair as hopeless, unless they could re ceive the services of some agent equally efficient as Paler himself, and by some mys terious contrivance keep that renowned in dividual from personally interfering in the nest display of tho elective franchise.— Accordingly, an important election being at hand, they felt sure that if they could only carry the preparatory choice for offiJers to conduct it, there would be some hope of re trieving their lost ground ; and in pursu ance of that desire, they secured the services of a dapper little man, whose success had been great in a distant locality. In tl.ose days, the preparatory elections for the choice of officers to conduct the more important ones, were decided by what they called a "scratch vote ;" that is, by each voter making a mark with open, in front of the name of his favorite candidate, on the paper where it was written. Behold, then, the day for "scratching" arrived. Puler had been indefatigable in his arrangements, and felt assured he could parade many more men than the opposition could under any circumstances call together. Therefore, he and his associates were in high feather, and became extremely merry at the expense of the dapper man superintending the cperations of the opposition. The sheets were properly prepared, and Peter sat behind one, the dapper little man being behind the other, each offering n pen to the voters as they came 1:;e, according to the side they wished to support. As they pro gressed. Poler's opinion of the little man's 'cuteness diminished materially on noticing that he never complained that many persons were marking Poler's paper who had no vote in the district. The day ended, and with it the voting. Poles summed up his grand total, and, with overwhelming mag nificence, announced an unusually large rote. The dapper man quietly added up his column, and, with unmistakable clear ness, named a figure fifty per cent, greater. Poler's party were thunderstruck, and rush ed forward impetuomdy to examine for themselves ; but it was too true. Though they well knew that nobody bat the voters had touched the paper, yet there stood the imposing array of marks which defeated t hem. The opposition were duly declared officers of the next election : and io dale time, when it was hell, they carried the district, so completely was the old party confounded by the unlooked-for proceeding. Great, therefore, was the dapper little man's fame. The Paler faction gazed after him with some such mysterious dread as a child views a dark roam. Tempting inducements were offered him to reveal the secret, but he was inexorably silent, oven to his a.wa par ty ; until at last, so great grew the excite ment and public anxiety, that, go where he would, earnest inquirers followed, with tears in their eyes, beseeching the wished ' for explanation. But still it came not, though the day for his departure did ; and an immense concourse assembled on the wharf, to make a last pathetic appeal to him. Loudly was it uttered ; but still in vain ; and the boat was about quitting the wharf, when a harried movement was seen in the crowd, and an individual burst there from. lie was dressed in very gaudy strip ed pants, n tight-fitting green coat, n conical shaped white hat, and carried a large um brella under his arm. Swinging an im mense eye-glass nervously in his fingers, and with an expression of intense anxiety in his countenance, he rushed to the extreme edge of the whaef, and earnestly cried : "'Tope I don't intrude; but now or never— how did you do it .1" The dapper little man was nbout taking a quiet pinch of snuff, but leaning forward, just as the engineer's bell sounded to go' ahead, he whispered: "Way, 31r. Fey, I used a two-nibbed pen !" SED.Truefitt, upon being asked what hair was the richest, replied quite in an off-hand manner, "The plain golden, sir; in every sense, sir, there's none so rich as the plain golden." his inquirer nodded assent, and said, "Perhaps you're right, Truefat. It stands to reason, you know, that hair which is plain gold must be richer than any hair which is simply plaited." Truentacquies ced, but was evidently puzzlod with the ab struseness of the proposition. Ile ratirel into his studio to ponder it. 11€611'e Lave known cats who were "sans reprochc," but never ono who was "sans Eza THE CAPTIITCS OF TIM SLAYER WILLIAM.- The Secretary of the Navy has received in telligence from Lieut.

She had at the time she left Congo river, seven hundred and fourty-four on board. There was but one American on board, supposed to be the captain. His name is William Preston, of Philadelphia. Ile had taken them to Key West. The government will have its hands full to take care of the miserable creatures brought into our ports. Twelve hundred of them are now at Key West, in custody of the United States Marshal; and judging from the great activity in the trade and the number of ships engaged in this inhuman traffic, government will probably have sev eral thousand, which must be disposed of speedily. A. NOVEL COSTOII..—MV. Collins, in Ms "Voyage down the Amoor," recently pub lished by the Messrs. Appleton, gives the following account of a novel terminatien to a grand dinner given by merchants of Kyachta to himself and his companion, Mr. Peyton, who were the first Americans seen in their city. The company, at the close of the dinner proper, adjourned CO the coffee room, where coffee and delicious tea were served. They then returned to the dining room, which had been in the meantime cleared even to the tables. To the dismay of the guests, champagne was again handed about, and they were pressed to take the parting glass. This drank, our author, says: "Presently I noticed a pretty dense circle encompassing Peyton, and in an instant, he was seized by half a dozen stout, jolly mer chants, and tossed up in the direction of the ceiling. Fortunately it was not a very low one, or else he must have gone through the roof. Down ho came into the hands of his tormenters, who sent him up again, if any thing higher than ever, the most uproarious mirth and laughter prevailing. My com panion was not a small man, er a light one but he was no more than a feather in the hands of these portly Siberians. "After awhile Peyton came down and staid down. Servants again came around, and again we had to drink champagne. I had just emptied my glass and placed it on tee waiter, when, without a moment's woming, I was seized and up I went. 80. ing much lighter than Peyton, and handled after him by these stout, and now very jovial and mellow fellows, I have a distinct recollection of touching the ceiling. My coat tail certainly did, and what I thought at first a piece of good fortune, now proved to be otherwise, for having taken Peyton's gunge with regard to weight, they did not take into consideration my lightness, and I came near going through the top of the house,. Up I went and down I came, only to go up again, until my friends were satis fied that if I was not drunk before, my head would certainly swim now.

IL, a well known character—the famous Billy Abbott, both small of stature, and old of his nge, and who, by his humorous wit and wonderful knowledge of every little incident that made this or that place particularly charming and interesting to the historian ' and the antiquarian, so ingrafted himself into the good favors of the great expounder of the constitution, that he always gave him a seat in his carriage when he rode out to visit the beauties of nature. Billy's asso ciates feeling envious on account of the hon or conferred upon him by this distinguished matt, one day, after Webster's departure, sarcastically asked Billy, in the crowded bar-room, what he and his friend Webster found to converse about as they rode around the country. Billy replied "we usually talk about hor ticulture and agriculture. and the different breeds of cattle and horses, and upon these subjects I derive from him a great deal of useful information; and upon such topics I find h:ra a little more than my match—but the moment"—said he enthusiastically, with a gesture and a tone of voice becoming the orator himself —"but the moment ho alludes to the constitution, I can floor him in a min ute!" which was received with great ap plause, and the Banquo of Envy never again affronted Daniel's rustic favorite.— Ossipee Register. Eirln coming to Cleveland a few weeks since from California, Tom Marshall stopped over in Delaware, a flourishing village in the interior, for a day or two. Just before, leaving there he asked the agent to check his valise for Cleveland. The agent a - tall and verdant-looking young man, chalked "Cleveland" on the valise and walked away. The brilliant Kentuckiun didn't exactly understand this way of checkhig, but E. sud den thought struck him, and he started in pursuit of the agent. After a protracted search, Marshall found him. "Look here," said Tom, "I want that piece of chalk." "What for?" asked the agent. "So that I can have something to show for my baggage in Clevelandl" said Tom with perfect gravity. The verdant-looking agent brushed his long soap-locks from his eyes, closely sur veyed Tom's face for a moment or two, and said, solemnly, "We gin'rally give a small piece of brass to holders of baggage, but I reckon 'taint necessary in your ease!"
