The high winds of the past week did very little damage here, but on the river and along the coast below, we learn that considerable damage was done. The steamer Otty of Memphis had her chimneys blown overboard, and her cabin destroyed, and the presumption is that other baste suffered more or less. The upper rivers are now pretty free of ice, and boats have left for the upper country with heavy and valuable cargoes. The receipts of produce are rapidly increasing, and business here has greatly improved. Trade on 'Change is looking up.

The health of our city never was better—the Interments of the pest week being 81. There is nothing of local interest worth reporting. Dr. Ditwilee, formerly of Lancaster, was in our city loot week. An extra session of the Missouri Legislature convenes at Jefferson City on Wednesday next. The "American' opposition State Convention assembles at JOfferson City on the 29th to nominate a State ticket—the few Black Repub. 'icons will, of course, endorse the "American" ticket, and claim it abroad as their ticket. It will be bsdly beaten. We see it stated by tho Jacksonville, Fla., Republican, that a fine lot of ea•ly potatoes had been presented to the editor. They were of the growth of 1860, from the garden of Col. L. A.

We have some few sales bf real estate to report. A farm near Lanem.ter, Ky.. containing 140 acres was sold at $l3O per acre. Another farm of 380 acres, near the above, at $6O per acre.

She had about 300 tons or freight ou board. which, with the boat, Is reported as a total loss. The Ogden was valued at $16,000. and insured In Pittsburg offices for $lO,OOO. She woo owned by Capt.

The Legislature has again taken up the bill, and will probably pass it over the veto.

Henry S. lone, lie- Governor and O. P. Merton for Lieut. Governor. They can't he elected. r "The editorial iu the N. Enquirer of last week, on the candidates likely to be before the Chicago Convention. fell like a wet blanket upon Mr. Bates and his friends, in this locality. It comptetety annihilated him. The editor of Iliac paper nays he will not suhport him., if nominated. The Courier if Enquirer is right—Judge Bates has never been, and is Ilk new, a Black Republican. Ile did not vote for Mr. Element in 1850, but did all in his power to defeat him, by advocating the claims of Mr. Fill more—and if a Union ticket is gotten up for the Prosi• dential election, Mr. Bates will be tined supporting it, against the Chicago nomluee, If he is not the candidate— Mr. Bates can never vote for Mr. Seward, of New York, Mr. Chase, of Ohio, M. Lincoln, of Illinois, Mr. Cameron, of Penna., Mr. ,Hale, of New Hampshire, Mr. Banks, of Mass., or any other Black Republican that that Convention 'may see fit tp nominate. Judge Bates' name has been used in connection with the ChiCago Convention without any authority from him, and be is not bound to support its nominee, or sustain the platform of Abolitionism. He is known to be a firm and reliable supporter of the Fugi tive Slave Law, and we would want no better evidence, if ballad not already so expressed himself, than his able and energetic support he gave Mr. Fillmore, the very man who sanctioned and approved the Law whilst he was acting President of the United States. It is true, Judge Bates is opposed to the extension of slavery, and it is also true that he is i4ipOSS , f to the AGITATION of the slavery question in any shape, manner or form. In no particular except in the extension of slavery, does he agree with the Black Repub lican party. How, then, can the friends of Mr. Bates ask the friends of Gov. Seward to drop him and take up Bates? The nomination of Bates would at once show to the whole country, that they had abandoned their principles for the sake of having it said the man they voted for was elected —even should such a thing be effected by Bates' nomina tion. What strength. we ask, could Mr. Bates bring to the Black Republican party? Not the electoral vote of a single State—Missouri he could no more get than could Seward, Chase or Giddings. Where, then, is the strength he would carry with him? We contend that he would be a detriment—a drawback to their cause—whilst he could not carry Lis own State, how could ho expect to carry those States, whose able champions in the cause are not of a month, but since the origin of the party—and who have been thrown overboard to give place and position to one whose antecedents are anything but Black Republi can. Seward could give the party strength—he would carry New York, whilst Bates would lose Missouri by 25,000 votes, and without a doubt New York too. Chase would carry Ohio and New York certain—Bates would be very doubtful; and thus we might go on and enumerate States where Bates would actually be a draw back—a mill-striae around the neck of Black Republican. Ism, and should they succeed In electing him, his well known antecedents would lose all confidence in him—he might cheat them! The friends of Edward Bates in this section are all °fnce seekers, and the Black Republicans here would rather vote for Bates than Seward or any rank Abolitionist, for, as one told us the other day, "it would seem wore respectable." Thus it is that Edward Bates' name la Urged so strongly from this 'section of country, and If the sonic voters who now prefer Bates were in New England, they would not touch him any more than they would the poisonous reptile. We are daily told upon the street, by the real friends of Judge Baths, that unless he is nominated, they will vote for no other man—they will vote against Seward, Chase, Giddings, 8.116, or any body else. Thus It is seen that they will have Bates or no one. How, then, can the friends of Seward and the rest of his kin, go into convention with these friends of Mr. Bates, when they tell them in advancer that they will•" bolt" If Judge Bates is not the nominee' Can the advocates of Seward support Mr. Bates under such circumstances; are they willing to abandon their principles, and assist in electing a man who never was a member of the Black Republican party, and who will be under no obligations to carry out a single measure that they now advocate, or appoint to offiee a single man who is opposed to the Fugitive Slave Law-=-Who is not in favor of agitating the slavery question In any manner or shape? No consistent member of the Abolition party can support Mr. Bates, and no consistent member 'will do It. In our opinion he Would be the easiest man for the Depocratic party to boat, for he would cause a division in the ranks• of the opposition. Then, again, there is to be a " Union Convention " at Baltimore, and the nominee of that Convention will take the entire outside vote, if Mr. Bates accepts an Abolition nomination—he would be beat worse than Scott was In 1802. The "oppositi a " of Kentucky,-met in State Convention lest week, and appointed delegates to the Baltimore Con- Vehtion, and Instructed them to vote for John J. Critten den. Where will Bates be, then, in Kentucky k The "opposition " of Tennessee met in State Convention, and appointed delegates to the Baltimore Convention, with instructions for John Bell. Where will Bates be in Tennessee? This State will send a delegation to Baltimore also. Where, then, Will Bates be in Missouri? The other States of the Union will be represented at Baltimore, and - that nominee will take the entire Bates vote of the South ern States. Why, then, should the Black Republican party take a Southern man who will bring no strength whatever, and decidedly the weakest man, in the North, that 'could be nominated? If they do they are defeated certain, and defeated by abandoning their principles and adopting Know Nothingism—which died a miserable political death, with Mr. BILMORE and Judge BATES at its bead in 1856: "An Illinois Farmer," in the St. Louis News has well shadowed the difficulty of the Opposition : he will go for Bates, Bell or Crittenden, bat "if an . irrepreesible conflict Bcpuldican "is put in nomination, he bolts. The Seward- Res say they will bolt if one of their sort, either Seward, Chase, Banks or any other, is not put in nomination. OLD GUARD.
