Charges against Mr. Gregg.

Mr.. Gregg, editor of the New Albany Tri.
bune, has for years been a warm advocate Of
Temperance. Lately charges of having been
drunk or used liquor in former times, have
been brought against him, and notwithstand-
ing his denials and utter disproval of the
charges, they continue to be harped upon
by editorial opponents. The Enquirer, of
'n's city, accused him of drinking liquor when
he was Son Of Temperance at Lawrence
burg, at the time Of great food, when there
was kind Of general drunk pervading. Mr.
q. confessed having drank once. but it was
under peculiar circumstances of exposure,
and from the hand of physician, DR.. Brow
er. The charge being again harped upon
here, and allusion made to Dr.. Brewer as ey.
dence, Mr.. G. publishes the following letter
from DR.. B. We copy it as an act of simple
Justice to Mr. g.:

MILTON GREGG, ESQ.,, New A lbany:
| My Dear Sr:-A friend put into my hant
to-day, the Tribune, OF the 22d inst, in an
editorial article of which, [ observe, that in
defending yourself against an unjust and ca
luminous aspersion, you refer to myself a.
your professional adviser, at whose instance
and at whose hand, you received the "glas.
OF brandy" which seems TO have contri bu
ted the head and front of your offence agans
the consistency and truthfulness your char
acter, as a prominent memoer and officer o.
the Sons of Temperance in this place, ia
ls47.
deem it my duty, without any solicitation
on your part, and without any desire to mingls
in contention, but simple act of justice
to say to you, that the occurrence alluded t.
is fresh and perfect in my recollection, wher
you was brought to my office in state o
alarming exhaustion, nearly frozen with cold
and thoroughly saturated with water, aftel
exposure aud fatigue, such as few men o
more robust frame than yours, could have
withstood. well remember that your limb:
were so stiffened that you could not put tn,
"rlass Of brandy" to your lips, and with thu
assistance OF some friends who we're will
you in the skiff, gave you the cup, which
verify believe saved you from utter exhaus
ton, before you could have reached you
home.
Your numerous friends here, "a we'll a
myself, feel indignant at this abominable ca

and unmanly, and am prepared to say. tina

detestation of its perpetrators.

An unknown friend, in his correspondence
to the Louisville Times, thus talks:
dropped into the sanctum OF my iriena
Sanders, editor of the Evansville Journal
and spent half hour very ngreeaoiy In cha'-
ting about matters and things IN general
Evansville 10 a "right smart chance o'
town, with a superahundance OF in'ure PROS
poets. Sanders is. with much propriety TOO,
proud of the place, he having spent Tour ana
a half years in advancing the interests OF
that region.
When I think Of the influence the judi
ciously conducted press exerts IA drawing
capital to, and building up cities, especially
In the Ohio and Mississippi valleys, eanno,
doabt but that printers types were the lever
the learned philosopher sigaed Tor With Which
to move the world.
Archimides may never have dreamed Of a
moral lever. but were he among Us now, he
might realize the beauty aud power Of moral
force united TO mechanical skill. in building
up great Understanding which never PEN
eua,ed his philosophy. We think "Veaux''
has very proper idea OF the power OF the
press in building up cities. II is the voice
Of every public Improvement, the forewarner
aud aid Of every great enterprise, the tongue
to tell those abroad of the march Of progress
a, home, in all its many footprints. We
might build among ourselves, and congratu-
late each other on those advantages Of ma
ture we so happily enjoy in our situation, and
wonder when they might ever be known
abroad--we might plan and toll and grow
weary--but unaided by vigilant press, the
public eye would scarcely turn upon US a mo.
ment, or resting here, gaze briefly upon US as
one of the many, and undistinguished from
others by that Of which We feel most inclined
to boast. There is no well conducted paper
ever watching the interests of it's locality ant
to its new Improvements and urging on 9th.
ers, but what is at least worth more to the
prosperity of that place than oil the enter.
prise, industry and energy, of any dozen Of
its best citizens combined.
We do feel proud at the rapid advancement
OF our city. We feel as one who for nearly
five years, has labored as hard as any man
in the place to advance its prosperity, ans
who having his hand at leper, has at least
as great share in the credit this prosperity
brings upon all of us, as any other one may
claim. So long as life and health are vouch
safed US, we expect to fight the good fgh
for Evansvile--not to defend her, for sh
needs no defence, nor to war upon our neigh
way-but to labor for every enterprise o
improvement calculated TO benefit our city
and to make the world around us familia
with almost every brick and stone of our pro
gress as Evansville advances.

Question" says that he solved the problem
long ago, and holds himself ever ready to give
IL solution. He invites ali who are i'm
doubt about it, to fetch on their "ffties.' an 4

To CoRREspoxpESrs.-We wish now to
say most emphaticaily. that henceforth we
will not publish any communication, no mat
ter what the subject, unless the name of the
author is given US. and that name subject to
our own use, ii circumstances or discussion
should call for it. IT writer's have not con-
hdence enough in as to entrust us with their
namcs,we don't want their communications.
Unless their be an actual necessity presented,
their secret remains in our bosom quite as
sacred as in there own. We are glad to re-
ceive we'll written communications on al
most any subject Of interest, and a mere diff
ference of minor opinions between the writ.
er aud ourselves, will not exclude any ar.
ucle from our columns. We have no, time
to re-write badly written communications.
and If we had. should not do it, Some of
our correspondents seem to think it part of
our duty. They are mistaken.

New Hotel Project.

We presume there is no place in TIE West
supplied with hotel Accommodations. Our
hotel keepers make the best use they can of
their limited accommodations, but at certain
times travellers find themselves slowed away
in all sorts of manners, and realizing all the
beauties Of "crowded houses" We have
number Of fair mt dunn hotels, but this does
n OF make the demand for first class house
the less pressing.
Our citizens have for long time been full
ly impressed with the necessity, existing here
for a large and fine hotel, and several at
tempts have already been made to form a
company for the purchase of ground and
erection of such buildng--one that would
not only have great accommodations for trav-
elers, but which in appearance and style
would be credit to our city. These attempts
have failed, principally because of a petty
jealousy between the owners of property in
the upper and lower parts of town. But we
believe there is somewhat better feeling
prevailing now. Al least we hope so, and
believe so enough to mention a new project
for the formation Of such a company.
DIR. J. C. Burch has recently purchased
the Sherwood House. He proposes to raise
a stock company of sufficient capital to pur-
chase the adjoining lot belonging to Mr..
Sherwood, and erecting on this lot and on
the site of the present hotel large hotel
edi6ce. or else altering the present house
and make extensive additions. Mr.. Sher-
wood, we understand will sell this lot at
reasonable price and invest in the company.
Other gentlemen have expressed themselves
in favor of this project, and we think with a
little well directed effort such company
might be formed, and the work commenced
without delay. There is not better site in
the city for hotel than that occupied by
the Sherwood House, while the present ow +.
er of that building is earnestly DESTROYS of
doing anything which in reason can be asked
of him, to assist the present project of erect.
ing fine hotel on this spot. Nothing defin-
lite has yet been concluded, but we hope
something substantial will soon be accom-
plished.

Failures.

The Cincinnati Price Current reports the
following failures:
Plat g. Sons, Of PHILADELPHIA, failed on
Friday. They were engaged in the Califor-
MIA and China trade, and their Liabilities are
stated to be two million dollars-with about
an equal amount of assets.
Messick g. Co., wholesale Grocers of this
city, failed on Friday. A connection with
the Dry goods House of Watts g. Colburn.
which failed some two weeks ago, is repre-
sented as the cause of this failure. The as.
SETS will pay, it Is said, about thirty cents on
the dollar.
Several heavy failures occurred at New
Orleans last week, chiefly Cotton houses:
and none of them were connected to any ex-
tent with the Western trade. A private DIS
patch from that city, dated Saturday, reports
siding. No further failures were apprehe nd
ed.

to secure steady navigation hereafter. Sew
