IUPIiOVKDIERTUF TIIK OHIO IUVEU Tho Philadelphia North American and Gazette lakes up our lato article ou the importance of improving the Ohio river, nud says : “During the heat of summer tho water is sometimes too low for navigation by any except a email class of boats peouliar to the Ohio. This is tho real difficulty in the way of its com merce. If this were surmounted, and a steady navigation ensured at all seasons exoept winter, it would be of immense value to both Pittsburgh and Philadelphia In this connection the Pott refers to a corporation chartered by the Legis lature of Pennsylvania at its last session for the purposo ot introducing a slaekwater navigation in tho river, malntaing a regular depth of four and a half feet in the channel. To do this the corporation requires a capital of six millions of dollars, a sum rather too largo to get easily just at present, or for some years hence. - ’ Now, we dou't like the clouiDg remark iu that paragraph. Tho means to improve a river tf euoh importance to rnoro than half the States of the Union can easily bo obtained if tho pub lic mirni is duly enlightened on the subject. Twenty millions can be obtained to build rail roads almost every year. Then why not su millions to improve and make uavigablo tho year round a highway of oommeroo more valua ble to tho country than any railroad in tbo Union. Tho river is a thousand miles long, and its waters wash tbo shores of six States, and up on it is floated tbo freights and merchandise of a dozen States; carrying thorn choapet,. tco, than they can bo carried over railroads. Every day the steamers arc oarryiag down it the man ufactures and merchandise of tho East, and bringing back tho products of tho West in ox ohange. As tho West nod tho vast regions be yond tho Mississippi fill up with population it beoomes moro a matlor of n&tioual importance, and tho demand for its improvement moro im perative. Bat whoro will the money bo. found to Jo it. Congress has maJo largo grants of land to build railroads and ship canals. When tho copper regions of Lake Superior were opened, and tie wealth of its minerals made known, a company was chartered by the Legislature of Michigan to make a ship canal around tho falls of St. Mary, and thus mako those mineral regions accessible. Tho company applied to Oongrosa for a grant of land to aid (he work. Congress, in view of its national importance, donated seven hundred thousand aoros of l&nd to tho oompany, and the work is completed. Will auy one say that the Ohio river is not of far more value to the whole country than the St. Mary ' The Ohio runs for a thousand miles through the heart of the na tion ; and fully one-half the States are directly interested in its commerce. Why, then, cannot Congress give as liberally to this purposo as to that of tho Michigan Company v There is pre cedent for it. Thoro is abundaut reason for it. It would bo gross injustice to refuse it. To no national purpoßo oould tho public lands bo rnoro profitably and properly applied. They aro given freely to build railroads : why not to improve rivers; especially rivers bo truly national as the Ohio ? Two million acres of the public land would produoo tho means to do half the work. With that as a basis, the other half could easily be fouad. With suoh a'basis, tho stock of the company would be a good investment—better, probably, thau any railroad stook ; and it would be taken. The soven States along its borders are rioh and thriving, and could without incon vonienco contribute a million. With such public contributions to its cost, tho oompany should bo restricted to low tulle, ecarccly more burdensome to the commerco of the river thau the tolls at tho canal at Louisville. That such a Jouation of tho public lands can bo obtained from Congress, seeraa hardly sus ceptible of a doubt. The States directly inter ested could control tho question ; and in a sepa rate bill, no President would refuse it his sanc tion. It can be obtained next winter if the subjoot receives tho attention it deserves. The North American admits the full merits of the undertaking. Then why discourage it by doubt ing whether it can bo accomplished. But the North American has some remarks on the subject so good that wo must copy them, adding its cx traot from our own article. Speaking of tho Ohio river, it says : ‘‘lf the freezing up in wintor be ao serious au objection, It is far more operative against the navigation of tho lakos, which'is obstructed much longor than the river. But no one now thinks of doubting that the commerce of tho lakes is dostinod to expand into proportions of far greater magnitude even than wc at present dream of. Why, then, may not tho commerco of tho Western livers do the same? As regards the Ohio alone, it has a thousand miles of navi gation, and is the highway of six of the most populous and flourishing States of tho Union. Tributary to it there aro the Allegheny, Mon ongabola, Kanawa, Scioto, Muskingum, Wabash, Cumberland, Tennessee, Kentucky, Big Sandy, Green, Lioking, Miami, White, aud many other rivers, ramifying an extensive region of coun try, varied In soil, climato, population, and pro ducts, and teeming with abundance. We can best judge of tho importauoe of this river trade by glancing at tho prosperity and size of tho cities which have sprung up ou its routo. At tho present time it is estimated that Cincinnati has 150,000 inhabitants, Pittsburgh —including tho outlying suburbs 100,000, Wheeling 14,000* Louisville 50,000, and St. Louis, whioh is tho depot of tho Ohio river trade, 90,000. These are all towns largely de pendent upon tho river trade, and ohiefly built up by it. They have now, it is true, railway facilities, but their principal growth was attained previous to the construction of those iron roads. Cincinnati and Pittsbnrgb aro rapidly bocoming first olass oitios, taking rank with Boston and Baltimore. As regards tho present condition of the Ohio river trade, wo have before ua an arti cle in the Pittsburgh Post, whioh says : ‘The business done on the Central road this ' year shows another fact of importance. When the Ohio rivor is in a good navigable stage du ring tho Bummer months, our Contral road will be orowded with freights. It is the preferred route when tho rivor is right.’ ” Is not the Central road then, deeply interos tod in the improvement of tho rivet? It is its most important feeder, and over will bo. The Central road has contributed liberally towards the bailding of sovoral Western roads because they oonneot with it, nnd bring travel and trade upon it. Tho Ohio rivor oouneots with it, and brings trado upon it; and it would bring thrice as muoh upon it as it docs, if made navigable all the year round. Will not tho Coutral road, then, contribute to the improvement of the riv er. Tho navigation is'not usually obstructed by ioe more than three or four weeks onoh win ter. Wobolievo that if the river was improved so aa to bo navigable the year round by a largo olasß of boats, it would odd from half to throe quarters of a million of dollars to the receipts of the Pennsylvania railroad every year. It oan well afford then to toko stook in tho improve ment oompany. Lot tho company bo organized and go ahead ; tho moans oan bo found to oom piste tho undertaking. • V- 1 ; The election in California takes place on the 10th of September.

Tun Louisville Election. — Louisville, Aug. 12, 1866.—There aro oightecn polls in tho oity of Louisville, and sixteen in the county, mak iog thirty four in all. Tho inspectors or judges of elootion, two for caob, wero appointed by Judge Garland, Know Nothing, who nnnied four Democrats and sixty-four of his own order. Tho judges dooidod that they would dispense with the ballot box itself. They required overy voter to open his ticket, and read aloud the names of his candidates. A soratch of the pen on tho book opposite tho name was the only record and evidence of tho voto oast The voter cithor throw bis ticket on the ground or oarried it away with him. The inability of the foreigners to read English, or to read at all, as far as it went, was then made the pretext for rejecting their votes. When this statement was made to me I oould not oredit it, though my informants, who were two of the most rospeotable citizens of Louisville, assured mo that they had read off their own tiokets, and then threw thorn away N ¥ Evening Post . - * T» r ' "• •» ii * ** *>. 1 „•. * r [.From Dickens’ llou <ehold Words 1 TW O NEPHEWS [CONCLUDED ] “ May I gain my deserts, then ?” replied John. “Are you not to be my loving wife, Mary ?

But 1 liko your spirit.” “ I havo no doubt you do,” thought John. “ Oh, when I was a youth, 1 was a litllo that way myself,” said Peter. “ But tho world—tho world, m 7 dear Sir—soon cures us of all roman lio notions. I regret, of course to see poor peo ple miserable ; but what’s tho use of regretting 1 It’s no part of tbo business of the superior clas ses to interfere with the laws of supply and demand ; poor people must be miserable. What cannot bo cured must bo endured.” “ That is to soy," returned John, “ what wo oan’t euro thoy must endure.” “ Exaotly so," repliod Peter. Mr. Collet this day was too ill to leave his bed. About noon ho requested to see his nephews iu his bod room. Thoy found him propped up by pillows, looking very weak, but in good spir its, as usual. “ Well, boys,” said he, “ hero 1 am, you see, brought to an anchor at last! Tho doctor will bo horo soon, I suppose, to Bhako his head and write reoipes. Humbug, my boys! Patients can do as much for themselves, I believe, as doc tors oan do for thorn; they’re all in tho dark to gether—tho only differenoo is that patients grope in English and tho doctors grope in Latin 1” “ Von oro too skeptical, sir,” said John Meade. ” Pooh !” said Mr. Collett, “ let us ohango tho suljcot. I want your advice, Pelor, and John, ou a matter that oonceras your interests. I’m going to make my will to duy—and I don't know how to act about your cousin Emma Briggs. Emma disgraced us by marrying an oilman.” “ An oilman!” oxolaimod John. " A vulgar, shooking oilman !” said Mr. Col let, “ a wrotoh who not only sold oH, but scop and candles, turpentine, blaok lead, and birch brooms. It was a droadful blow to tho family. Her poor grandfolhor never got ovor it, and a maiden aunt turned MethoJist in despair. Woll I Briggs, tho oilman died last week, it soems; and his widow has written to mo for assistance. Now, I have thought of loaving her a huudrod a year in my will. What do you thing of it' I'm afraid she don’t deserve it. What right had s o to marry against tho advico of her friends ? What have I to do with her misfortunes?” “My miuJ io quite made up,” Bait! Pc-tcr Finch, “no notico ought to be takcu of her. She mado ou obstinate and uowortby match—lit her abido the consequences.” “ Now, for your own opiuion, John,” said Mr. Collett. “Upon my word, I think 1 must say tho samp," said John Meade, braoing himself bold ly for tho part of tho worldly man. “ What right had aho to marry—as you observod with groat justice, Sir? Lot her abide tho conso quenocs—as you very properly remarked, Finoh. Don’t eho oarry on tho oilman's business ? I .1 ire say it will support her vory well." “ Why, no,” said Mr. Collett; “ Briggs died a baukrupt, and his widow andohildrou arc des titute.” '* That does not alter tho question," said Pe ter Finch. “ Let Briggs' family do something for her.” “To bo sure !" said Mr. Collett. “Briggs’ family aro tho people to do somothing for her. Sbo must not expect anything from me - must she, John ?" ‘■Destitute, is she?" said John. “With children, 100 ! Why, thin is another oase, Sir. Vou surely ought to notice her—to assist her. Confound it, Pm for letting her havo tho hundred a year.” "Oh, John, John ! Vlhat a break down!” said Mr. Collet. “So you wero trjing to follow Peter Finoh through Stony Arabia, and lurucJ bock tho scoond step ! Here’s a bravo traveler for you, Peter ! John, John, keep to your Ara bia Felix, and leave sterner ways to diftorent mcu. Good bye, both of you. I’vo no voice to talk any more. I’ll think over what you havo sab!.’’ He pressed their hands, nud they left the room. Tho old man was too weak to speak next day, auJ in three Jays after that he calmly breathed his last. As soou as tho funeral was over, tho will was toad by tbo oonQdential man of business who had always atteadoJ to Mr. Collett's olfuirs. Tho group that sat around him preserved a dc oorouo appearanoo of disinterestedness ; aud the usual prenmblo to tho will having been listoned to with breathless attention, the man of business road tho following in a clear voice : “1 bequeath to my nicoo, Emma Briggs, not withstanding that she shooked her family by marrying an oilman, tho sum of four thousand pounds; being fully persuaded that her lost dignity, if sho oould oven find it again, would do uothing to provide hor with food, or clothing or shelter.’’ John Meade Bmiled and Fetor Finch grouuJ his teeth—but in a quiet, respectable manner. The man cf business went on with Ms road iug. “ Having always hold the opinion th&t woman should bo rondorod a rational and independent being—and having duly considered tho fact that society praotioally dnnies her tho right of earn ing her own living—l hereby bequeath lo Mary Sutton, tho only ohild of my old friend Freder ick Sutton, tho sum of ten thousand pounds, which will ouablo her to marry or remain single,' as she may prefer.” . " John MoaJo gave a prodigious start upou hoaring this, and Peter Finoh ground his toeth ogain—but iu a mannor hardly respeota ble. Both, howovor, by a violent effort, kept silent. Tbo man of business went on with his read ing. “ 1 havo paiJ sotuo attention to tho oharaoter of my nophow, John Meado, and havo boen griev ed to find him mnoh posßossod with a feeling of philantyroph, and with a general preference for whntever is baso and false. As these tondonoioa are by no means suoh as can advance him in tho world, I bequeath him tho sum of ton thousand pounds—hoping that ho will thus bo kopt out of tho workhouse and bo enabled to paint his great historical pioturo—whioh, as yet, ho has only talked about. “As to my othor nephow, Peter Finoh, ho views nil things in so sagacious and eolfish a wiy, aud is so certain to got on in life, that 1 should only insult him by offering an aid whiob b • docs not require ; yot, from his affeolionato uiu 10, and ontiroly ao a testimony of admiration f. r bis mcntul acuteness, 1 vontura to hope Hint !>» will acoopt a bequest of Gve hundred pounds toward tho completion of his extensive library of law books.” How Poter Finch stormed, and oallcd names— how John Meade broke into a dotirium of joy how Mary Sutton oried first, and then laughod together; all theso matters I shall not attempt to desoribo. Mary Sutton is now Mrs. John Mondo ; and her husband has aotuolly begun tho groat historical piotore. Polor Finoh has taken to disoountlng bills, and bringing notions on thorn; and drives about in his brougham al ready. Pompuy, why am a bee hive like a bad later ?” “ Kubo it's round." “ Kase it’s round! What nonsense!

Rather “ Febsouy.”—A letter from Paris, says : —“ An individual, oondemnod somo timo ago to ton years’ hard labor for robbing a ohurob, having served out his timo, and having, by good oondnot, rcoovorod his reputiou, was last week married, at the ago of sixty, to a girl of eighteen.

Sho bad peen upon her husband’s shoul der, in deeply branded letters, tho horriblo words ‘saorilege.’ When she had recovered her sen ses, it was found she had lost her reason."

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. 4V Diseases of the Liver.— When the cele brate 1 Dr. Rush declared that drunkenness was a dlseaso, he enunciated a truth which the experience and observa tion of modlcal men is every day confirming. The many apparently insane excesses of those who indulge In the use of spirituous liquors, may be thus accounted for. The true cause of conduct, which is taken for infatuation, Is Tory frequently a diseased state of the liver. No organ in tho human system, when deranged, produces a more frightful catalogue of diseases. And If, instead of applying remedies to the manifestations of disease, us is too often the case, physicians would prescribe with a view to the original cause, fewer deaths would result from diseases Induced by a deranged state of the Liver. Three-fourthsof tho diseases enumerated under tho head of Consumption, have their sest In a diseased Liver. (3oe Dr. G unn’s great works.) Purchasers will please be careful to ask for, and take none but Dr. M’Lone’s Liver Pills.
