THE MONONGALIA MIRROR. ASSISTANT EDITOR'S DEPARTMENT. Morgantown, Saturday, Doc. 2, 1854* {/>' 10C.11 mbhoiu?. TnE RtrEtt rose considerably nn Sat urday and Sunday lasr, a result of the delightful showers with which wo were visited about that time. The navigation marks for their stern-wheeled majesties wore readied, but not a boat-horn was sounded, to disturb the dry-weather mo notony which has settled upon us. We understand that one of our boats, per haps tho 'Lszear,' ascended the river aa far up as Point Marion, on Monday, but tho water had fallen too much to al low us the luxury of looking at a Vim steamboat I This thing of being at the head of nav igation when tho circulation does not reach the cxtrmilict, makes u p a sort of moonshine commercial facilities that acrvos to feud the imagination much bet ter than the pocket! However, wet weather and slack water may yet accom plish wonders fur the region round about Morgantown, nnd all along tho tiver I The Go it Yard, of Messrs Lynch Sc Hagans, (that Btt-IIine of the Monon gahela in Virginia) presented a lively aspect on Monday last. A largo cotton bargo built to order, for a Southern firm, which had been finished for (he water since August, was launched, and set afloat fi/r its destination- Two very large coal barges wore also in waiting for tho freshet, and had been finished several weeks. Tho carpenters are now engaged por ?evei ingly in getting up a aecond cotton barge, of larger dimensions than the one just launched, also for a Southern market. The proprietors of the boat yard unite all the requisites of abundant capital and untiring energy, go that the enterprise in their hands will pay and prosper, besides affording to industrious Mechanics a profitable and convenient avocation. The Saw Mill belonging to the Boat Yard has been recently refitted, and a mnng the improvements we notice a nine eulier, or nine run of saws, which will convert timber into lumber in a Tit le less than no lime, or aome where thereabouts! They are prepared thero to drive business, the right way. Accident.?We regret to have to re cord that on Munday last, Mr. David B. Lynch was seriously injured at the Boat Yard. Wliilo superintending the launch and after tho Barge had been loosed on the inclined gangwsy, and while it was running off at full spoed, Mr. L. was caught in the rope, drawn by it a nginst a troe around which the cable was being drawn furiously by the receding Barge. From this perilous situation he was liberated by cutting the cable, and thus bis life, for a time in fearful jeop ardy, was saved. It is indeed a miracle that he escaped instant death. We are -glad to be able to add, however, that his limb and hand, although much torn and bruished, begin to give promise ol timely recovery, and that no bones were broken or disjointed The Bridge.?We aro happy to say that notwithstanding the unfavorable weather for a few days the work at the Bridge has not been permitted tosuffet any diminution in the oncrgy of its prosecution. The main track is being planked very rapidly, and should they suffer no detention for want of lumber the Bridge may be crossed by the Holi days. Mr. Tower is always on hand and his men partake of his untiring en ergy, and drive the work bravely. The Bineficiart Scpper on Thurs day night is represented tohavo been t -brilliant affair, and the exercises plea, aurable in the extreme. We uuderstanc that it was pecuniarily successful in the jnost satisfactory degree to the Ladiei and friends whoso ingenuity and taste provided so sumptuous and magnificenl a baii<|uet.

The ma chinery is of the most ingenious de scription, and is held fur tiie exclusive use of that institution. The colored gentry in Cincinnati have established a theater at that place, and o pened their preformance at a Thespian temple, which they call Liberty hall, where they publicly announce, "white people will not, on any conditions, be admitted to any part except the galleries!" Bight ia one thing becomes preliminary towards right in everything; the transition is not distant from the feeling which tells us that we should do harm to no man, to that which tells us that we should do good to all men. The intellect was created not to receive passively a lew words, dales, and facts, but to be active for the acquisition of truth.? Accordingly, education should labor to in spire profound love of truth, and teach the progress of investigation. While the heathen had their goJs many, anil their lords many, their god of wisdom, their goddess of beauty, their god of cour age, and so on, they had no Rod of holiness. Th?s vulgar mind fancies that judgment is implied chiefly in the capacity to censure; and yet there is no judgment so exqui-ite as that which knows properly how to ap prove. Christian benevolence, like the meal bar rel of her that refreshed God's holy prophet, ever minislerelh comforts to the needy; and still the supply is undiminished. As the lovely cedar is green throughout the barrenness of winter, so shall the Chris tian alone flourish amid the winter of death, and blossom in immortality. Friendship often draws his arm when you stand most in need of his services; but En mity will continue to kick as long as the mark is within his reach. Of governments, that of the mob is moil sanguinary, that of the soldier the most ex pensive, and that of civilians the most vex atious. THE MARKETS. MORGANTOWN, Dec. 2.

" The fir6t being that rushes to the recollec lion of a soldier or o soilor, in his heart'sdif ficulty, is his mother. She clings to his memory and affection, in the midst of all the forgetfulness and hardihood induced by a roving life. The last message he leaves is for her, his last whisper breathes her name. The mother, an she instils the lesson of pie ty and filial obligation into tho heart of her iufant son, should always feel tbot her labor is not in vain. She may drop into the grave ?but she has left behind her influence that will work for her. Tho bow is broken, but the arrow is sped and will do its office." Truth is always consistent with itself,and needs nothing to help it out; it is always near at hand, sits upon our lips, and is reedy to drop out before we are aware; a lie is troublesome,and sets a man's invention upon the rack, and one trick neifids a great many more to make it good. Application to business is worth more in this country than to be born the heir to a fortune, for he who struggles to achieve a competence, learns at the same time bow to retain it. CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.?We believe hi* . on cftnblished fact in medicino that " no disease enn be contracted while the Blood is in a pore! j and healthy state."
