POWERS. THE SCULPTOR.

A late letter from Hiram Powers, the sculptor, to
bis brothers in New York, dated at Florence ltaly
states that he has at last finished his divine creation
OF Eve and has laid aside bis chisel, far as that
piece Of sculpture is concerned, believing that he
can do nothing more towards its improvement. This
work will be sent TO the United States, notw hstand
ing the offers de for its purchase by some Italian
nobemen because II was his first composition Of mag

he therefore wishes it 10 belong 10 his own country
On the completion Of the statue Of MIR. Calhoun,
which will require about three months, the Eve
and the Nulliher i'll be from Italy together
This latter statue is TO be paid for by some Of tie
personal friends Of Mr., Calhoun in his own State
and is as large as life.
Powers has for long time been engaged on some
great work in secret not even his most intimate
friends acquainted with the subject he has chosen
but on which he willing TO rest his reputation
as sculptor. This, together with the Greek Cap

as he intends sending them to London for exhibition
and sale as soon as they are completed.

TREASURY NOTES.

The new emission Of Treasury notes is be-
ginning to attract considerable attention among
commercial men, and they will soon form, with
out doubt, incidentally large proportion Of our
circulating medium, as they are well calculated
for making payments at the different points OF
the Union. Bearing an interest Of only one
mill, capitalists have no inducements to hoard
them up as an investment, and while they,
from this and other causes, will enter into gene
raj circulation, they will become, it appears 10
us, favoite currency with The People, and
will save TO the General Government, and Of
course to the People, the sum of three or -four
hundred thousand dollars, in interest alone
This is an important desideratum, particularly
al this time, and should not be lost sight of in
discussing the merits Of this national subject
The authority by which they are issued is the
act Of Congress of March 80, 1Si3.
This act provides that when any Of the Trea-
sury notes then outstanding shall be redeemed,
at any time before the first day Of July, 1s44, the
Secretary Of the Treasury "may cause other
notes TO the same amount to be issued, in place
Of such as may be redeemed under the llmia-
tons and other provisions Of The respective acts
by which said notes were originally authorized
aud issued" These limitations and provisions

PIGEos SLAuouTER-Some idea of the exent Of
pigeon hunting in Ohio, may be gathered from the
subjoined paragraph, which we cut from the Canton

"On Monday last pigeons were unusually abundant
about our town. Several parties Of sport,men went
out in pursuit Of them: party killed about 100
from one pole another about ] 900; another 900
and others from TO 600. Like gallant sportsmen
most Of the parties bringing home the spoils d.,
