The superior value of American watches above all others is too well understood, in this country at least, to need further illustration. Foreign watches being conceded on all-hands to hvo been fairly beaten, not only in the market, but in tbe pocket, tbe question now is, which of tbe Americau- msde watches Is best and really cheapest! The Wallham manufacture has deservedly mode its way.to au immense business, in he face of violent add persistent opposi- lon. 1 hrough a period of fiftccen years it has sleidily nud regillarly advanced, the asl year's sale being considerably larger than those if any preceding year. The sc- tUm io thMi bo.VQ fclnod the test of cuduriag aod general trial; tht-y aru found to bo good in the loni; lunas well as tha short, aod to bu generally, as well as exceptionally good. No other ts- Ishibenl in the world ever sold in tbe fifteenth, or any year of its existence, seventy-five thousand watches, as this has donr, during the year just closed.

The truth is, the Waltbam company began by to mskf. a first class Article, and spared no pains or expense to keep that fact before tho public, for further information in regard.to this subject, we refer the reader to tbu business card of tho Company in another column. DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS FOR ALTJEU- evening was the lime for tho Democrats of tho several Wards to assemble and nominate their candidates for Aldermen. They did so meet. In the First Ward about seventy persons met in Littig's Brewery, and put Mr.

Bdward Jennings in nomination. In the Second Ward four Dsmocrnts met at the Wm Tell Bouse, on Second street, and enjoyed themselves until naif past nino waiting for others to come. Otbcrs did not arrive, however, and to tho few faithful ones, disgusted with tbe conduct ol the ab sentces, adpurned without making any nomination. Bight or ten Democratic Third Warders (no more)mclat the Court House, and nominated Mr. J.

Jamison for Aldarman. In tho Fourth the Democratic Candida to for Alderman is--nobody. Tho City Hall was brilliantly lighted for the Fourth Ward Democracy. But the gas was burned In vain. John Monaih, City Sealer of Weights and Measures, and Michael McKerney were the only persons there to enjoy it.

Mpl another Democratic soul made his appearance, although Hgc went out several times to drum up a quorum, for tbey thought two didn't make it. Tbo plucky duett waited till after nine o'clock, but no quorum eror appeared. then adjourned without day, Honath being convinced that his fate is scaled tor tho next municipal ysar, and -Mac as jovial as tbough election had been held and he chosen Alderman. In the Fifth Ward there was bettor luck. Seventy or eighty of tho Democracy gathered at tho Pennsylvania House, end cast 146 votes tor Uiuir candidates.

Of these Charles Whiutker had 61 voles and John N. Daviu 45 votes, and so they were declared nominated, the former lor long term, and the latter to fill vacancy. Thero was coa siderablo enthusiasm at the meeting, as may be inferred from the number of voice cant. The Sixth Ward Democrats hold thiir meeting to morrow evening. BTWKBOAT CokUHtoHiac AJTO OrUlR seems that shippers north of this are complaining bitterly of the rates ot grain agreed upon in the "compact" between the Northern Line and While Collar Line Packet Companies.

We have heard no complaint here, however. are low In 81. Louin, and shippers are holding back, though every southward (learner takes liberal allowance of grain. The grain rate from this port is eighteen cents. But north of us there is a breeze.

Louis democrat notices the excitement, calls upon its merchants lo do something, and gives advice generally. Ita article is interesting, and we give it in full: Tho compact entered into between the Northern Lino Packets and the While Collar Line Packets is allractlng the attention of our consignees and others interested in tbe grain and produce to be shipped from points above the rapids.

FnoM THE PniBnies --The Clintcn Ser- old of Saturday last says. 1 Tbe news from tbe pineries is generally of a favorable nature. Logging is atlll being vigorously prosecuted, with plenty of snow to facilitate operations and insure high water in due time; indeed, a general freshet is predicted by the lumbermen, the amount of snow on" the upper rivers being such as to warrant executions of an nnusnal flDod, probably in May." The several saw mill owners in this city are mostly in readiness for tho season's work. Probably the greatest quantity of lumber ever turned out in Davenport will be sawed this season. RIVER Addie Johnson arrived yesterday forenoon Irom St.

Lonis, with considerable merchandize, and left in the afternoon for Dubuque--the first boat northward. The New Boston leaves for Fort Madison at 0 o'clock this morning. The Davenport is exported from below en route for upper river. The Savanna was expected last night from Pittsburgh direct with heavy freight. She will proceed-northward.

River ruing at St. Paul, and ice wearing away. A great rise is tearing things' In the Minnesota and Blno Earth--county and railroad bridge! being wept away. So a dispatch furnished by Mr. Leary, of the Mississippi Valley Lino, informs us.

We presume this Is true, but still there is a way to help the matter this season, and if- the merchants will cordially co operaic with the packet lines, we think Si. Louis may lor once nuke Chicago fully understand the difference between water navigation and railroad navigation.

Tho plnrufl simply this: Let (50,000 bo subscribed as a contingent margin sgaintt loss, and then let a few of our leading grain men send sharp buyers up into the upper river and purchase all the wheat concentrated at river townsi Let the birce compsnv and tho two packet companies furnish a a of barges to be towed up to these pomls of concentration and left to be filled--as soon us tilled to bo ropljccd with empty once to be filled agnio. These barges can be towed up aid down at special rates and two or threo millions bushels of gram can thus be brought down during high water which we will not otherwise get. We have seen teltgrara from a large (train ownc of Dn- buquu, who says. "Our are full ot wheat, but we can utTord to Bay 21e and insure to St. Louis.

It can't go to BO it Is all alonR tbe river." If tbe grain of the upper Uisslasippl must pay thu "oompact rate." or go to corjo, rely upon It, merchants, it will go lo Chicago. Fur our own good as a body of river business men, we urge you to move this matter Call a meeting of the Eichtngo and see what can be done. Apply to the Board of Trade and see what can be done. It 13 all well enough tor u.amboatmen to say the Eapids must be improved, and we earnestly hope our Board of Traclo will effectually memorialize Con- cntial men of tho city will go to worfc 'and do all tky oanpcrsonatty to urge Congress lor such annual appropriations as shall keep the work going forward until It is completed. Another thing to be done is to alter the present model of steamboats throughout.

They arc not built for Ibe economical hand, ling ana transportation of freights, and until wo have perfect economy this matlcr- wc shall not bo giving to St. Louis tbo commercial pre-eminence due her by her adtui- mirahle position. That there is much to accomplish, we fully realizs, but we believe this progressive movement wul take no backward step, and that comparative perfection will ultimately be attained. Turn for tho future for the present, immediate action upon the matter under considers tion is ccmsndcd.
