gs5H Hoop skirts have become one of the
institutions of the country. HUGHES keeps
an excellent supply and at prices that bring
them within the means of all classes to
wear. He has very nice stock of shoes
in store which he particularly recommends
for quality and price to his numerous Gus
TONERS. His stock of fans for ladies is still
good and will be sold at cost. There is no
excuse now for not having a genteel fan.
Examine his stock of linen handkerchiefs
and embroidered collars before purchasing
elsewhere, if you wish to secure bargains.

Fusion in New York,

Hon John W. Stevenson, of Covington,
announced in a speech at the Florence Fair
Ground, yesterday, that he had received a
letter from New York, announcing definite
ly that fusion has been agreed upon be-
tween the Douglas and ll-Everett men.
The latter are to have seventeen, and the
Douglasites eighteen of the electors, and
Congressman are to beequally divided. This
is the Brooks-Hunt arrangement, but it
seems Mr.. Fillmore won't go into it. Ac-
cording to all appearances, the peculiar ad-
versaries of the Pope and the Devil are en-
deavoring to mix miscellaneous political
things in miscellaneous manner.

E1We have received the first number
of The Semi-Weekly Auas, published at
Terre Haute by ISAAC NJ. Brown. 1t is 4
six-column paper-well printed and edited.
At the head of its editorial column we
notice. the names of Lincoln and Hamlin,
Lane, Morton and the whole state ticket.
Mr. Brown published the Union, a strong
Fillmore paper in 1856, but has "pretty
much quit " playing second fiddle to Loco
focoism. He now goes enthusiastically for
the Peoples Choice, Honest Abe Lincoln.

\ SMALL BUsINEss.-Some of the noise
at c. NJ. Clay's meeting was caused by the
shouting Of boys. One of our citizens
questioned little fellow yesterday,
who was prominent in the disturbance, I'M

prompted to raise row. The boy said he
had received fifty cents to halloo for Doug

hired him. Now is not this the smallest

Our Progress.

A large amount of House Building is go
ing on here this summer. In our walks
about town, as we turn our eyes in every
direction, new houses, just finished, others
in progress fresh excavations for cellars,
piles of building materials, etc, are to be
seen dotting the squares and out-lots of our
growing City. There is more building this
year,it is supposed, than in any previous year
as much doubtless as in any City in In
diana. No other place in the Statei is grow
ing so rapidly and SO healthily. There is a
solid foundation for the prosperity of Evans
vile. Most other cities and towns will fall
far under the population generally claimed
for them, when the census returns are made.
Evansville, we believe, will show nearly as
large a population as generally is claimed
for her by careful guessers.
The growth of the place ought to be
made known to the world in reliable form.
To this end we propose to give a statement,
after the close of the building season, of the
number ofdwellings, business houses, church
es, and other improvements of the kind
made, specifying the location, cost, dimen-.
sions, number of rooms, owners, builders
materials used, style, and any other items of
information which the proprietors see fit to
allow us to publish for the general good
We want to commence gathering our data
Immediately, as the job will be a large one
and we shall be under obligations to archi-
tects, builders, mechanics, proprietors or
others who will furnish US facts and figures
as fast as buildings are completed. Items
can be dropped in the Post Office, left at this
Office or handed to the editors; but we
would prefer to have persons call at the of
fee, as information by questions may be
ELECTED that will be valuable

A REVELATION FROM THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA.--
A driver, who has returned to Halifax from Cape
Sable, says he descended several times into the
interior of the wrecked steamer Hungarian. The
scene which presented itself was appalling in the
extreme for, although there were no corpses in
the interior of the ship, there were nearly twenty
bodies discovered entangled in the wreck along
side and in the gulles close by. The frightful
remnants of poor humanity exhibited all the
stages of dismemberment, sans heads, arms, legs,
&C. and all more or less in state Of decomposi-
ton Those seen appear to have been up and
dressed. or partly SO, as some of them were
evidently in the act of putting on their shoes,
stockings, or other clothing, when the king OF
terrors put stop to their toilet forever

A Deserved Rebuke.

"An Irish Catholic" writes the San Francisco
Herald accusing the .Honitor, Catholic organ at
San Francisco, of abusing and dctaming the noble
Garibaldi. and the patriots and freemen OF Italy
while it indirectly, if not directly, essays to de-
fend the atrocities and tyrannies of the King OF
Naples and other petty tyrannies OF the PENN
sula We have often been surprised nay shocG-
ed to see in the Catholic press of California,
such as the Monitor and the San Jose Tribune,
foul attacks upon the motives OF Victor Emanuel,
and all who aided him to free the people OF
Tuscany, Modena, etc, from petty princes, and
ioin them to a constitutional monarchy, in u
united, regenerated, liberal, progressive. Italian
government. We could not account tor 1t, that
citizens of free republic-men, who had them
selves, it may be, bnt certainly their fathers, fled
oppression of mild and genial nature compared
with that crushing wrong the poor Italians have
had to aud are sulfering-should sympathlze
with tyranny and against freedom but 1t ap-
pears that these journals do not represent the
sentiments of our Catholic population on this
subject, although as general thing, they have
submitted to it, and therefore, his misrepresenta-
tion is-indeed. has to be-accepted as the Cath
ollie voice and because of their silence, do they
allow these their organs, to do them great IN
Justice But there is u time when forhearance
ceases to be virtue, and 1t appears That IN
this matter that time has come 4; for this Irish
Catholic, in his note to the Herald, thus eloquent
ly protests, and throws back the slander =
"Rehective Catholics, sir, see, with dismay,
this association of their religion with the basest
and foulest tyrannes that ever degraded man,
or insulted Heaven. They behold, with disgust
and Indignation, the attempt persistently contin-
ued by their quasi organs to prove that Cath
oicty is Incompatible with treedom-that a
man, who would hope to be free in the next
world, must consent to wear the chains OF a
slave while in this that, in fact, his glory celes
titi will be exactly measured by the depth of his
earthly debasement. They scorn the Ignorant
gable, which prates of the Pope as Head Jailor
Of Italy, and denounces the present holy war
against the ruffian ruler of Naples as direct as
sault upon the Vatican. With the efforts OF every
true Italian, from the brothers Bandiera to the
brave, aud let me trust, successful Garibald
they deeply sympathlze."
These are words ftly spoken. They become
anv man who claims to be citizen of these
United States, and has, within his BOSOM one
shark of that fire which consumes oppression and
tyranny, whoever may be its defender or from
whatever souIce it may emanate. All tyranny
is of Satan, and It is safe to fight it in whatever
form it may appear sacramento Bee.

HUNTING FOR HIDDEN TREAsURE.-The FORT
land Advertiser says ii may not be generally
known that two men are engaged in hunting for
hidden treasure near Tilamook at the mouth OF
the Columbia. The circumstances under which
the treasure was deposited, are as follows, from
the Advertiser.
Years ago a Spanish vessel, having on board
an immense amount of SPECIE was wrecked on
this coast, but the Captain managed to save
several chests filled with the precions natal, and
buried them at some point, which our modera
gold hunters are determined to discover. Indian
tradition states that it took sixty men to carry
the specie to land, and shortly after the span
iards reached the shore for some cause unknown,
they shot one of their party The Indians
naturally supposng that the buried treasure be-
longed to the deceased mariner, left tue coin
undisturbed, as is customary with the indians OF
this coast generally.
Thus the matter remained for several years,
until the Bostons" and King George mem
began to find their way to this coast, when some
of the latter, hearing Of the buried treasure, arc
reported to have secured it. The two men at
present engaged in the search after fortune, arc
fully convinced, however, that some of the Span
ish specie remains undiscovered, aud are sanguine
that in a few months they will be amply rewarded
for their novel enterprise, in the possession OF
many thousands OF Spanish dollars.

OUR Doc jock
A rolicsome froicsome, rare old cock
As ever did nothing was our dog Jock;
A geesome, heasome, a!iectonate beast
AS slow at a fight as swift at feast
A wit among dogs, when his lie gan 10 la,i
One couldn't but see the old wag in his tail
When his years grew long, and his eyes grew dim,
And his course OF bark could not strengthen him.
Never more now shall our knees be pressed
BY his dear old chops in their slobbery rest
Nor our mirh be stirred at his solemn looks,
As wise aud as dull as divinity books.
Our old friend rs dead but we all well know
He's gone to the kennels where the good dogs go,
Where the cooks be not, but the beef bones be,
And his old head never need turn for ilea.

A WITTY AIL-BmD.-A short time ago a man
named Crandall made his escape from the Allie

gelica, the following account of the manner of
his escape. 1t must be very satisfactory to his
custodians. He says:
suppose it is mystery to some how got
away, consequently will give you brief history
of my departure. The modus operandy was this;
got out of my cell with ingenuity, ran up stairs
with agility, crawled out of the back window
with secresy, slid down the lightning rod with
rapi1ity, walked out of the Angelica town with
dignity, and am now basking in the sunshine of
