TREASON IN NEw YoRk-MAYoR WooD's Sc
CEssIos PRoJEcr REvIvED-A CIRCULAR LETTER.
Certain prominent representatives Of the eo,onoc-
racy 10 this city have cOnoocted reasonable cir-
cular urging the people to accept the infamous
proposition Of Mayor Wood, and to declare the
cty part aud parce! Of the CoufederAcy of Jeffsr-
son Davis.
As yet the precious document 10 carefully con-
cealod bot hope to present il to our readers in
day or two, and they will doubtless be surprised
at its aadacity, even in these tratorous days. Its
originators possess credulity and assurance to a
remarkable degree if they fancy their proceedings
likely to prove other than disastrous to themselves
and their dupes. The metropolis is true to the
Union. Ed viii remain go despite Wood and the
cotton Asders.-Nep York I1st.

IMPRovEMENTs.-In spite of the hard
times and unsettled state of the country
there is much improvement going on in
Evansville. We think just now of few
Improvements there are many others. We
mention them for the satisfaction of read
ers abroad.
Britton & Richardson have built on Third
street, between Main and Locust, north east
aide, one of the most complete livery stables
anywhere to be found. 1t is OF brick and
very extensive.
GaVitt & Smith have revamped the ware
house on the west corner of the Canal and
Main street and made of it another model
livery stable. 1t would be difficult to find
kind
John J. Chandler is now erecting, on the
north corner Of Locust and First streets, an
elegant three-story business block, under
the architectural management of Mursinna B
| Boyd. Few persons imagine what the
| appearance Of this building will be when
completed. It viii be an ornament to the
city-the handsomest business house in it
| and model for arrangement.
Thomas Scantlin is renovating and re-
modelling his business room on Main street
just above First by raising the floors and
making other improvements.
The First Presbyterian Church was all
under cover some time since. The stating
of the roof and spire by Mr.. Bedford is a
first class piece Of work in every respect
Mr.. B. is an experienced slater, having fol-
lowed the business in England. His skill,
ingenuity and daring in scaling the dizzy
height of the spire and putting On the slat-
ing was a theme of general praise The
job is exceedingly neat and will doubtless
prove durable
Samuel Orr has finished this season a
double tenement on Chestnut street, south
east side, between Third and Fourth 1t is
very convenient dwelling and finished in
good style. Both tenements were promptly
occupied.
Other substantial improvements are being
made, but we can specify no more at pres
ent. Evansville, though exceedingly dull
like other places, is by no means dead.

THE FOURTEENTH REGIMENT of Indi-
ana volunteers-of which the well-consttu-
ted, -ofieered, and well-drilled com
pany from Evansville, commanded by Capt
Thompson, forms part-it is thought will
leave Camp Vigo, at Terre Haute, this week,
for Virginia, there to act that part in the
grand drama, which its reputation leads
one to expect from it. A number of the
officers and men are old soldiers and under
stand the discipline well, and the remain
der have been actively drilled for over q
month. The regiment. and particularly the
Evansville company, is excelled by but few
bodies of volunteers for perfection in drill
and soldierly bearing.
We predict brilliant reputation for the
gallant Fourteenth. Evansville should feel
proud of Captain Thompsons command
Great honor has been done her by the com
pany which she SO promptly sent and so
literally fitted out. If " the boys" ever get
an opportunity to engage the enemy, they
will make a good report of themselves, and
reflect portion Of the glory they are sure
to acquire, back on the city from whence
they started.
