THE RIVER has fallen about b feet since our last; and is now mele Till, compared with the swollen torrent which swept by our bluffs ten days ago. Those boats which desire to visit us again shortly, had better bestir themselves, or they may not find wa ter enough.

 Several heavy showers of rain have fallen, very opportunely, since the river has been declining; and, thus, we are, in great de- gree, protected against disease. The heat, however, is excessive; though few over casting clouds, and gentle breeze, to-day, give some comfort.

 WHAT DoEs THIS MEAN; - Is ques- tion put to us in the last Banner in refer ence to an article copied from the "Boston Atas1 into our columns about New lamp shire politics We will endeavor 10 satisfy the laudable curiosity of our neighbors Our surprise was equal to their own. when We read it for the first time in the Gazette, and not until after a large portion of our papers had been stricken of, ready for the maI We do not exchange with the '.Allas,' and our habit las been to H,afk news articles with the pen, and leave our composltofs to cut them out.

"fho place ofn man $ birth and education, and the circumstances of his life are, we admit, gcaera7ly indiea- tive of his feelings and opinions upon certain questions; but are, by no means, conclusive, especially when combatted by the fact of his becoming the faeile conduit ol' opposite feel ings and opinions, such us we have directed hls attention tO.
