Artists Union.

We received yesterday from ]. w. Hol-
brook, Esq, Secretary of the American Ar
fists Union. through the advertising agency
of Vischer g. Schell, New York, a large
and beautiful engraving Of "Wyoming."-
The Union offers the rarest inducements this
year. rs catalogue embraces some Of the
the best specimens Of the art. The imagery
of Wyoming is in the highest degree beauti-
full.
The organization Of this institution has
recently been modified in some material de-
tails, rendering it now in perfect conformity
to law, and its means of usefulness greatly
enhanced. Its purpose is the advancement
of the fine arts generally, and while the
Union accomplishes that object, it enables
every family throughout the length and
breadth of the land, to become possessor, fol
small sum, of picture gallery of their own
embracing the works of master minds, be-
slowed upon the most enchanting historic
and fancy scenes. Two hundred and fifty
thousand gifts will be distributed as soon al
the same number OF tickets are sold. TIE
drawing is expected to take place about the
LIST of July next. BY enclosing money to J
w. Holbrook, Secretary Artists Union. New
York, its equivalent in these fine engraving,
and paintings can be secured.

We confess there is a part of the policy @

We confess there is part of the policy or
conduct of the friends of the bill that we
don't understand the philosophy Of; We refer
to the attacks upon Mr.. Cutting, who led the
vote Of reference. What is to be gained by
accusing him and his friends of dishonesty
OF a design to defeat the bill, whilst pretend
ing to be in its favor Lou. Democrat.
Why the truth is, dear neighbor, the Ne
braska bill is already as dead as a defunct
herring, and the ebullition of more or less
fury can harm nobody but the parties con.
cerned. Mr.. Breckenridge Cat whom, among
others, our neighbours structure is dire cted)
exclaimed, in his late speech, with graceful
and pathetic emphasis: "Does not the gentle
man from New York know that when that
bill went to the Committee of the Whole on
the State Of the Union ii irent TO its 9raue!"
While the instructive refinement of Maj. B..
might we'll restrain him from speaking a1ght
but good of the dead, he manifcstay felt re-
strained by no such delicacy toward the wick
ed lving-hence his glowing eulogy upon
Nebraska, and his fierce invective against
Cutting.-[L Lou. Jour.

Dry Goops IN LAMAsco.-We invite the
attention of our readars to the advertisement
of Messrs. Bohne, Habing g. Co., of Lamas
CO. They have just received from New
York a large assortment of dry goods, in
GLIDING everything the wants of their Gus
toners may demand in this line. Having
purchased these goods on very favorable
terms, they promise to sell them at leas: as
cheap as the same quality of goods can be
purchased in this city. Their old and new
customers will find at their store a large
stock of the best goods, and prices very low.
Give them q call.

From the Eyansyi lie Reform.

The Enquirer had better get somebody to
translate articles from the Reform, that un-
derstands English and German.
In the notice he copies from the Reform
regarding candidates, the meaning is not "all'
but "some" candidates are rowdies or temper
ance men. We have no objection to having
articles copied from our paper by the Enqui
rer, but We do not like to see them miscon-
strued. We are voters ourselv es, and GER
tainly would not cast our vote for rowdies or
temperance men, il all the candidates were
such, but we have preference for some of the
canIidates, among whom are some of our
best citizens.
Our neighbor Of the Reform need not be
astonished at the Enquirer's mistranslations
of German. We find the greatest difficulty
in keeping the editor OF that paper from mis-.
representing very plain English. What
must it be then with the German language!
IL he misrepresent the Germans themselves,
it is scarcely to be expected he will correctly
translate their language. .'

This evening the last appearance Of Uncle
Toms Cabin will take place in Evansville,
by Shires' troupe. This afternoon an extra
performance will be given, and the price of
tickets reduced to % cents for adults, and
children only Is cents. Apollo Hall should
be crowded. Those who have not yet atten-
ded this performance, had better avail them
selves of the last opportunity. 1t is well
worthy going to see. The company appears
to have given very good satisfaction.

CoSsoLs.-The term is an abbrevation
ofthe word consolidated" and to explain
what they are il is only necessary to state
that at various times the British government
has borrowed divers sums of money paying
different rates OF interest; that occasionally
the stocks issued as evidences Of these va.
rious debts have been taken up, or called in,
and new stock issued in their stead, Paya-
BILE at one fixed time, and bearing one fixed
rates ofinterest; that suchs took is called a
consolidated stock, or consol, and TO distin-
guish it from others the rate OF interest il
bears is generally mentioned-as three per
cent. consoIs, four per cent. consols, &c.

First As.,.,an, po.tma.,cr General.

This Office is now vacant. 1t was lately
filled by New Yorker, who, whatever other
merits he might have possessed as an officer,
was always conspicuous for one thing: he
kncp no West, and never cared what became
Of the West, so far as mail facilities were
concerned. We should be pleased to see
the President exercising little discretion in
filing the place, and if he does so he will take
a man from one of the extreme Western
States. There is not a man about the Post
Office building in Washington who seems to
have any adequate conception Of our section
of the country or its wants, or who cares
whether we are supplied with mail facilities,
1t is surmised That the place has been tender
ed to Vermont or blaine, for what reason no
man can divine, except it be to reward some
babbing politician. The mail facilities in
the old States nave all been properly arrang.
ed, and il is no more than Justice, that the
head Of the Department, or its principal as.
sistant, should be taken from the West. We
do not suppose that the Postmaster Genera
ever saw the Ohio, or has any particular re.
gard Tor the western division of his Depart.
ment. To remedy this indifference and ig
norance, the President should, by all means
appoint Western man to the Office of FRS
Assistant Postmaster General-one who ha,
intelligence enough to know what is wanted
in, and liberaliy enough TO do justice to IN,
West. The whole system Of mail contract
in the West-ifthere is any system about it
wants re-modeling, and now Is the very bes
time to do it, when new contracts are sbou
to be made for the next four years, and great
er Improvements are demanded than are pro-
vided for in the advertisement of"mail let
tings" from the Post Office Department. N,
cold fogy," whether found in the New Eng
land States or about the offices at Washing
ton, should be selected for this office.

I7' The failure of the bill i'm the U. s.
House of Representatives to grant land to
Wisconsin for aiding in the building of rail-
re ads has created considerable excitemen I in
Congress and some evaporation betwee en-
the Eastern and Western members. We do
not know that this res ult should be much
deprecated by the West. Until our Western
Representatives can be brought TO act to-
gether in defence Of the equal rights of their
cwn section and 10 vote against the granting
of favors to other portions of the Union
whilst their own is shamefrlly neglected, the
West will look i'm vain for justice.

"Topsy" is the genera favorite at Apollo
Hall, in the Drama of Uncle Toms Cabin.
With all her exceeding blackness, and even
with that monstrous Disagreement Of wool.
Topsy's native beauty shines out
alike a rich jewel In an Ethiop's ear"
There is no subduing that. Even her little
hand is her o,rn, not Topsy's. But with what
an irresistible abandon she enters into the
play! How she seems to loue it! How well
she portrays the ignorant, abused, reckless
little niger, that never ,cas born, but just
growed! And what sweet voice has she |!
Her acting is good and her songs admirable.
Topsy alone is worth going to see and hear.
This evening will be her last appearance.

The first division of the British feet, des-
tined for the Baltic, did actually sail on the
18th of March, according to appointment
under command of Vice Admiral Sir Charles
Napier. The occasion is represented by
the English papers as being grand and i'm
posing affair, and a most exciting one, wit
messed by tens of thousands of people from
Portsmouth and the shores of the Isle of
Wight.
This division consists of Is steamers, and
will be the pioneer fleet, propelled by steam
in the naval marine of any country. 1t is an
experiment every way worthy of the age,
and of the great nation that has volunteered
such important service in behalf of an OPP
pressed sister nation. Although England 10
the frst to employ steam in her naval service.
the credit of conceiving and adapting steam
vessels to practical use in time of war, is due
the United States Government. 1t will be
recollected that our Government lent its aid
to the establishment of the Collins Line OF
Steamers, by way of affording adequate mail
facilities, with the condition that they should
be SO constructed and adapted as to admit of
being readily converted to naval service in
time of war. Before the sailing Of the fieet'
the Queen and Prince Albert reviewed the
whole division in steam Yacht, and sum-
moned the commanders on board the Yacht,
and rendered them her Royal congratula-
tions.
A second division is rapidly forming, and
will soon proceed under the command of Ad'
miral Chads, to join Napier in the North Sea.
The total British force dispatched to the Bal.
tic will then consist Of ~ ships, mounting
2,2O0 guns, propelled by a steam power oI
10000 and mounted by upward of $4,000
men. The force already detailed by England
10 decidedly a formidable one, and England
having now engaged in the conflict, with
France at her right hand, the war will be nc
doubt brought to ericis.

WHITE RIvER.-This river, which disem-
bogues its waters in the Mississippi, near the
mouth Of the Arkansas, is said to afford
about seven hundred miles of navigation du-
ring most of the hauling season, and about
three hundred miles as good for small boats
the whole year, as the Mississippi below
Memphis. 1t is navigable at times some dis
lance in the State of Missouri.
