CARLETON HOUSE, }
New YORK, April 18th, 1856.
FRIEND SANDERS: The gradual closing of
the western trade affords some of us time to
write to our friends, and edify the editor and
readers Of the Journal upon the interesting
events of this springs business, which in
cludes the welfare of Evansville, as well
that of New York. Among the promi-
nent commercial men who make their mark
wherever they GO, are the citizens ofyour pro-
gressiye city--a city possessing more sub
stantial material for advancement and success
than is to be found in the same size corpora
ton east or west Of the Mountains. To6se
Boston phrase, Evansville is made up of the
solid men. 100 L-.-f eeE
For example, take the standing of yoer
Merchants They peer second to none in
commercial knowledge, experience, credit, or
moral worth.
Indeed, Mr.. Editor to know or estimate
your merchants, yeu must go from home to
realize their worth commercially or socially.
.Ofthe well known house of Keen & Preston,
whose credit and Yeracity ranks high, Mr..
Keen, the buyer, is acknowledged to be the
Eshrewdest and most reliable, jobber btying in
this market The stock of Keen & Preston
will show and speak for itself
Messrs Hopkins & Read too, share tlse good
feeling and hi III opinion Of New York rner-
chants.
Morgan & Brother will exhibits new and
dcomplete stock of Boots and Shoes This be-
ing Nr. Morgan's first visit to this great me
tropolis, his first sight of the throEged thor
oughftre took him back, and paralised his mo-
tive power SO he stood at the corner of cross
street waiting fer the crowd to pass, and
thereby lost a day. But he made up event
ually, for the lost time, for under the auspices
Iof the writer and Others he soon learned the
! ropes, and became SO farhilar with Broadway
; that he ventuacd 70 join the moving crowd
without fear or surprise, and returns home as
well posted about the mysteries ttnd miseries
Iof New York as an old stager.
Messrs. johnson & INreHch form another
sample Of your solid men. What Mr.. VIM
b E. French does not know about Dry Goods
amt worth knowing besides it is admitted
Il by all ladies and gentlemen that Freffch is tht
best looking merchant that comes to this mar
: ket. 1t is to be regretted his departure wa
so sudden come back Mr.. French, or sent
your orders.
e With the affable. gay, and liberal hearted
; Jimmy Byrne, a party was formed to visi
! Blackwelps Island Brother Caldwell pre-
= ferred going to church. so we spent the day il
o hospitals, aims houses workshops, peniten
IS tiaries prisons, .lunatic asylums, &c. Mr.
q Byrne saw few of his countrymen ant
e women, but no acquaintance. Now, woult
o advise the gay and fast young men to call upol
J ieither Mr.. Morgan, French, or Byrne, to lear
It an old text practically illustrated, 'the way
oI the transgressor is hard'' If what we say
e through the attentions of sDrs Magofin ant
l. Abrahams Would not Brighten the fast buck
a into a .virtuous life, don't know what could
It The merchants of Evansville, and citizen
: generally of the West congregate for pleasur
1t or business at the great marble palace of
n Devlin & Co. The attractions of this hous
% are too various to include in this letter. sufic
L it to say now, its the largest, most complete
N and best conducted clothing establishment i
the world. Garments are made like plank
out of a saw log The material is placed int
= the machine and comes out at the other en-
= of the room, coats, vests, or pants, just at tn
= option of the operator. Mr.. James P. Byrn
- has supplied his house with complete as
- ssortment of Devlins clothing and will sell a
prices to satisfy the curious and economical.
I'll Editors in particular are invited to partici
