fosity in not abiding to his personal affairs, !
when he has even gone so far as to accuse US
Of buying provisions for our family without
paying for them, and never corrected his error {
after we had proved the falsity of his charge.
We have had list offered to us of persons
from whom this man has borrowed various
sums of money, in great haste to be returned
In q few minutes" but which never have been
paid and never will be. We were also init
mately acquainted with number of suits
brought against the editor of the Enquirer,
and with the continual attachments hanging
over his Office and household furniture, and of
his swindling printers out of their hard earned
wages, and of debts he is now owing printers.
We were at one time called to the disagreeable
task of appraising portion of his property,
and were two weeks ago asked to appraise
the books of his Office, as there was nothing
else to levy on, but we declined. With
thousand of these disagreeable pecuniary facts
in our possession, we did not make them pub
lie, although Mr.. Hall was seeking IN every
possible manner, and regardless of all honor
and decency, to find something against US to
iniure our credit and position in pecuniary
view. The whole community can bear wit
ness. that we have been most disgracefully at
tackled, and without the slightest shadow of
wrong in our actions, by this man, and they
can now appreciate our forbearance, when
having all the facts in our possession to over
whelm him. we have preserved almost a per-
Sect quietude in regard to his pecuniary affairs.
We should not even now allude to Mr.. Halls
unhappy condition, but that it is necessary to
show how we might have retaliated, had we
chosen to use the same weapons of personal
injury he has done his utmost to obtain against
us. We have never before alluded to Mr.. Halls
pecuniary position in this community, except
when he had made base and objectionable
attack on the interests of this city, to say that
he had no pecuniary interests here to be in
jured by the injuries he was inAictins upon
Evansville.
Mr.. Hall has taken occasion to burthen the
public. with our private affairs. So long as
we continue promptly meeting every obligation
and sustain an unimpeached and unimpeach-
able credit. with private character that never
yet has been furnished by refusal or neglect
TO pay for labor we have invited and used, nor
by any act unbecoming gentleman-the pub
aichas no business and no interest in becoming
acquainted with our private affairs Yetthere
is nothing in them to which the public is not
entirely welcome to a knowledge Of and
which knowledge they may very readily OBJ
tain correctly by application to us. Mr.. Hall
may rest assured that we are the entire and
emily owner Of the Journal for which we have
been offered 5000, and which we value at
$7o0o-and against which there are no oblga-
tons we are not ready to meet. There stands
mortgage against this office, which through
the death of Mr.. Stockwell, trustee or agent of
those who acted for us in the original purchase
of the Office, we have as yet been unable to
secure the formal REIMBURSEMENT Of although
paid, and every dollar of which we are at once
ready to settle, when this REIMBURSEMENT can
be secured. AS for other property we own
we have just such clear title to it. that If
any body wants to purchase some fine lots in
LAmasco, and one of the finest farms in this
region of country, we will ensure him per-
|ectly clear title. But the lots cannot be pur-
chased for less than double what we gave for
them, nor the farm for less than $500 more
than an offer we have had for it, which was
$500 more than what it cost us. We would
thank Mr.. Hall not to disparage the. value of
our property out of town. He has already
sought in most rascally manner to injure the
value of property an Evansville, but we do
trust he will not attempt to lessen the value
ofproperty lying outside of Evansville and in
the neighborhood.
We apologize to our readers for thus allud-
ing to our private affairs. We certainly have
nothing to boast of. The weary labors of six
years, night and day, and almost without
weeks cessation, should have brought better
reward. We have earned all we have received
and indeed great deal more. We are graft
fed to announce asteady increase in cur patron
age, and hope to prove ourself even worthy of
that. Our contemporary is no doubt worthy of
oil he receives, but we doubt whether there
arc many men who would consent to work
for the same wages.
YELLOW FEVER AT NEW ORLEANS, &c.
We learn by news brought by the Twitchell,
that the Yellow Fever is pretty bad yet on the
