The Dry Goods Trade.

Never before were our wholesale merchants
so well prepared to give satisfaction in goods
and prices as this fall Never before were there
so large and complete stocks of Fall and Win
ter Dry Goods opened in this city. These goods
not only excel in quantity, but are probably, SO
far as prints, &c. are concerned much richer
and more attractive. Our jobbers appear to
have determined this fall to present every in
ducement to country merchants for trading
here So far as their stocks of goods are con-
cerned, there is certainly no necessity for mer
chants of this region to visit far distant points
to make purchases. Everything they want
can be found here, while Cincinnati and Louis
vile prices will be duplicated. Why then be
at the expense of visiting far distant cities, and
running up heavy freight bills, when every in
ducement to be found there is here offered?
We are aware that st. Louis merchants have
been sparing no efforts to secure the trade Of
this region, since the completion of the western
division of the 0. & NJ Railroad. We have
already shown that so far as groceries are con-
cerned, merchants who have tried Evansville
and st. Louis, give Evansville the decided pre-
ference. They can purchase groceries cheaper
in this city than in st. Louis, while they have
just as fresh and full stocks from which to Sc
lect. The same may be said of dry goods
A merchant in Illinois who intended to pur-
chase largely this fall, bought five hundred dol
lars worth of dry goods in st. Louis, and the
same amount here, to try the two markets, and
in person made his purchases. He afterwards
stated that this is incomparably the best mar
ket, and hereafter he should purchase here in
preference to any other place. He obtained as
excellent goods here in every particular, and
at great deal lower prices. We venture to
say, that any merchant in this region who tries
the st. Louis dry goods market, will, after a
trial of this market, never afterwards purchase
a bolt of goods at st. Louis.
In conclusion, we hope merchants anywhere
within calling distance; will visit this city ant
examine the stocks of dry good, boots aut
shoes, &C., opened here for the fall and winter
trade, before going to far distant points. They
will find our jobbers very accommodating
agreeable, gentlemanly, and easy to trade
with.

The Universal Masonic library.

This work, of which the first six volumes
are before us, and several others now in the
hands of the binder, is issued at the rate of
about two volumes per month by the enter
prising publishers The first six volumes are
principally from the pen of DR.: Oliver, the
most learned and laborious writer the craft has
ever known; and the whole set will contain
his works complete, with the writings of such
men of this and past ages as Anderson, Clavel,
Gadicke, Hutchinson, Cole, Preston, Lawrie,
Town, Harris, Hage, Dermott, Dalcho, Dodd,
Greenleaf, Hallowell, Inwood and others; the
whole comprising the valuable literature of the
Order from Anderson's constitutions of 1928 to
the present time. A large number of these
are out of print; many of them have never been
re-published in this country, and some Of them
never published in the English language.
These works are now offered in a uniform
style, elegant and substantial, at the ordinary
prices of American books, thus accomplishing
the fulflment of the desires of the craft. The
books are delivered free of expense to subseri-
bers at the publishers risk, in every particular;
warranted in perfect order, and remittances at
publishers risk, to be paid for on delivery, at
the reasonable rates following:

and many individual masons should avail
themselves of this, the first opportunity Of pro-
curing in this manner, the standard litera-
ture of Freemasonry.

whv he sympathized with the American Party.

Col Kewen; prominent member of the
American party in California, and whose faith
er was an Irish refugee, has been bitterly
abused by the "Phalanxes" for acting with the
American party when his father was foreign
er. Col. K in late speech offered an ire
sistable reason for his acting, which we submit
to Irriishmen in this part Of the country: !.
Col. Kewen's father was obliged to flee
from Ireland, after having been for two years
immured in prison on account of his connec-
ton with an effort to achieve the emancipation
of that down -trodden country. He came to
the United States and was naturalized, and on
this account many had denounced Kewen for
becominga member of that party. Col. K.
answered these denunciations by painting the
thrilling history of Ireland, by representing
the long continued struggle Of Ireland's pat
riotic and eloquent songs to free her from Brit
ish dominion and oppression, by exhibiting the
fact that the people had been invited by the
hospitality of Ireland to the country which
they are now keeping in slavery, that they had
accepted their hostility until by long continued
and insiduous approaches they achieved suf
ficent strength to usurp the government and
control of the very people whose hostility
they fed upon.
And ''what" says the Col. Fare the results?
Ireland's eloquent sons are pleading in vain al
the impervious ear of the English throne for q
restoration of Ireland's rights. That the voice
Of Gurren, and Grafton, and Shiel, and En-
met, and OConnel, and Mitchell, and O'Brien
and Dohgherty, and Meigher, had been con
stahtly ringing In the British Parliament il
her Courts and Castles, iterating and fe-iterdt
ing the same unanswered and UNDECIDED prayer
that England should govern Englishmen ant
that ireland should be gove'nez By hIstnaen.
The naturalized Sons of Ireland, whom TIN
traitorous demagogues of our country woul(
use to secure them some Of the stealings of OF
flee, if they oppose the proposition of Amer
leans that Americans should rule America
must oppose the very principle, the loss o
which caused them to sacrifice their nationa
existence and entailed upon them the yer!
yoke of bondage which has driven them from
the hallowed sanctuaries Of native Homes
native Ties and National Glory.

DRoIL REASON FOR SUfCIDE.--We have fire.
quently mentioned the general prevalence of
suicides within the past few months. The I'M
successful attempts are much more numerous,
and some of the causes ascribed are singular
enough. The latest is that OLA young lady in
Charleston, S. c., who took laudanum but
did not find the quiet of the grave therefrom.
When fully recovered, she was asked by her
parents the reason of her desperate attempt,
when she confessed with tears in her eyes,
that her lover in parting from her the night
following the day on which she swallowed the
poison, had kissed her on the cheek instead 0
the lips, as was his custom. He had never
been so cruel before, she said and from that
moment life became burthen and curse.

in. A battle then ensued, and firearms were
freely used. A man from Iowa named Goss
was killed, and one Dupple got his arm bro
ken, while two others were wounded. The
wife and children of Davis, it is reported, were
killed.

"a VOICE TO AMERIcA."-This is the title Of
a large and handsomely bound book sent us by
express, by Messrs. Evans & Scriven, Cincin-
natl 1t is dedicated to "all who love Ameri-

petuated to bless the rising and descend in their
purity to future generations" The title of the
work describes its objects-"A Voice to Amer
lea; or the Model Republic, its Glory, or its
Fall: with Review of the Causes Of the De-
cline and Failure of the Republics of South
America, Mexico, and of the Old World APP
piled to the Present Crisis in the United
State" From a cursory glance over this
work, we should judge it to be not only well
written, but work especially well adapted
for general circulation at the present time. We
want little more Anae,icanizing. We want
our attention directed not only to the glories
of our own Republic that we may love and
cherish it the more, but we want pointed out
to us ina warming voice. those evils which have
tuIhbled down Republics apparently in their
zenith as well founded as this, that we may
avoid them. More than this. We want the
evils noW threatening US, and which have grown
to threatening magnitude, held up in all their
hideousness, that as people and as nation,
we may be advised in our own hearts how to
act This book does all this, and in a master
ly style. We hope it will be widely cir
culated. 1t is only for sale by agents. We
understand agents are wanted in this section
of the State. Address Evans & Seriven, Gin

Fire at Rodiam Coal Mines.

Night before last about 10 o'clock, a fire
broke out in the engine house of the Bodiam
Coal Mines, just below the city. In ashort
space of time the building was consumed, and
the heavy scaffolding over the shaft, for the
purpose of raising coal, was nearly destroyed
The blacksmith shop, on the other side of the
shaft was not injured. The engine is injured,
but not to- any serious extent. The loss is
probably about $1,000. The hands had been
absent from the premises some time, and the
origin of the fire is unknown.
