To THE PUBLIc.-We are again under the
painful necessity of suspending payment and
closing our doors to the public. A concur.
renee of unforeseen and unavoidable circum.
stances has reproduced the difficulties from
which we hoped we had successfully emerged
when, on the 18th February, we announced
our resumption. At the date we had esery
confidence that our house in California
would sustain, without faltering, the shock
that awaited it. The steamer, however,
which arrived at New York on the 2lst ult.,
brought the news both of suspension and
prospect of resumption on the LIST of March.
Nc twit hstanding this, our credit here was
not felt to be materially affected by the in
telligence, until after the arrival of the fol-
lowing steamer of the oath of March, which
brought advices to the lst, aud among them
the fact that at that d"te the California house
had not resumed. The suspense, .conse-
quent upon this has proved exceedingly dis.
astrous to Us, resulting in a silent though
continued withdrawal of deposits at this
point, and compelling us TO meet our necessi.
ties here by drafts on New York, to the ex-
haustion OF our balance there, and the final
dishonor of our bills. -ars . o..H -
Could we have availed ourselves of rapid
communication with our California branches
could we have correctly anticipated tn cir
position and procedure, or they have under
stood ours SO as TO secure consistency and
concert of measures we have found it
practicable. under our existing difficulties, 10
either negotiate cur securities, or give them
an available placement-or had the deposits
received on our resumption on the 18th Feb
ruary, proved of more permanent and reli-
able chracter, we feel that we could have
successfully wilhstood the difficulties which
beset US, and in short time regained our
former position. But, however mortifyirg
we must confess to the failure of an under
taking which, if judged premature, was 90
only because of perhaps to eager desire
for its accomplishment. We again ask the
consideration Of our friends, assuring them
that our assets, Though not Immediately
available, largely exceed our liabilities. and
will be faithfully applied to their full dis
charge. We shall, in the shortest possible

SPRINGTIDE.

~ The sunset is past, and the twilight hour
Hath come Ger the earth with its mystic power;
And the stars-the beautiful stars are out,
And their softencd radiance streams about
Ger the sleeping earth, while far away
The hills loom up in the silvery ray;
And magical beauty is in every beam,
That sparkles up from the clear bright stream.
IT'S spring. sweet spring, and hear the call
or the spring queen afar by the waterfall;
And up through the vaiies in Joyous notes
Her song the wing Of the night wind floats;
And her tones have strange mysterious
power,
For the blue bell peeps from its woodland bower
And the rills leap up from their wntry sleep,
And all night long sweet music keep
To the chime of the stars whose quiet spell
They have known so long and loved so WE'LL,
AZ. ..lh ST. E.fs.s-.4 ~
IT'S morning now. and the Qneen of spring
a beautiful bright and airy thihg) lf
Spreads over the earth her cleaning wing,
And away DER the hills with sunbeams bright
..e She speeds afar In her airy fight.
She breathes on the peaks Of the lofty mountains
t- And their SHOWS gone and the cool swee
Through their va,lies are bursting wide and fres,
.r And their waves m Ike music, mirth and glee.
Ills spring-sweet spring, and its beaufeou
queen .f.Fswe
Hath come from her Southern forests green;
She hath left those realms where the sunbeam
play, l-.t,sfi
Through the chan seless lapse Of a summers day
Where the bright blue sea is ba:hed in the ligh
OF the sun by day and the stars by night;
Where the skies are bright and the ocean smiles
And the blue waves curl round her soft greer
She hath left her own dear southern hone
Through our cold realms awhile to roam.
Beautiful queen! We bend the knee
And JOY to bow in love to thee, lL-lssf Ef-s
And though our springtime passeth away
And the splendor of summer will not stay,
Wen not forget thee though the flowers
All pass away with the sunny hours, ia
But many a day and many a night
When the snow fakes fash in the cold star light
We will bless thy name and remember tn,
When thou vert here with the birds and flowers.

A.. ,Codt-Ihs Miners Dinner, &c.
Last Saturday the miners of the Bodiam
Coal Mines, just opened below the city, oy
Mr.. Kersteman, expressed their rejoicing at
the discovery of coal after the months OF
hard labor they had experienced, by a cele-
bration of their own. Early in the morning
the booming ola cannon from the mines
announced that the miners were preparing
for visit to Evansville. AT nearly noon
the unique but happy looking procession, a
procession in which the property holders of
Evansville probably took greater interest
than any other ever seen in our streets, was
seen approaching. The excellent German
band announced its approach with some of
their choicest pieces of music. The Amer
ican flag was carried in front, and another
planted on the first cart Of coal. the load
consisting of one immense lump. A paint
ed banner with appropriate devices describ-
ed upon it, was also borne in the van. Fol-
lowing were the miners, and then twenty
carts filled with the first coal dug up from
the Bodiam mines. The whole procession
was under the direction OF Mr.. Frank Fares,
Marshal, who was assisted in prep arations
by Mr.. Robert Stewart, foreman of the
! mines. e
= We have had many professions in Evans
vile, and of almost every nature, but never,
as we have said, has there been one in
which the people Of Evansville felt so deep
an interest as this. 1t was a declaration
of our utter independence of all coal mines
n creation except those Immediately at home!
1t was procession in which every citizen
felt was expressed the fact, that Evansville
had at last attained all she desired as a foun-
dation upon which to build future greatness.
She had before every commercial advantage
now she has the only thing necessary to
place her advantages for manufacturing be-
