WILL fOEENED ADJUST list, 1861.
The undersigned having leased the above House
fora term of years, and having had the same fitted
up with great care and expense, would respectfully
announce to the citizens of Evansville and vicfni
", and the travelling public generally, that said
House Is now in most excellent condition in ev-
cry respect and in every department
1t IS our intention TO keep said house as a first
CLASS Hotel, and in such as will give gem
eral satisfaction to all who may favor us with their
patronage. 1u fact, such house as Evansville has
Tor many years stood greatly in need Of and we
respectfully solicit the patron of all in our I'M
taking
The American House is situated on the bank of
the river, at the corner af Water and Sycamore
5treets' opposite and convenient to the Steamboat
Landing. The guests of the house are favored with
iull view OF eight or ten miles of the beautiful
ONO, and also with continual cool and refreshing
Dreeze from tie river during the summer months
THESE considerations render it BY far the mo st
pleasant and desirable location for a Hotel in the
city.

passeI gers arriving or departing by boats and an
ON nibus will run to and from the American to all
passenger trains on the e. & @. Z. r.
Our rooms will at all times be kept clean and in
excellent order, and furnished with good and clean
beds.
Our table will at all times be furnished with the
best the market affords, and plenty of it, and we
shall use every exertion in our power to render the
AMERICAN HOUSE home to all who may favor
US with call.
We hope, BY strict attention to business and to
the wants OF the public, to obtain lsrge portion
OF the publsc patronage, Of which we shall endea-
vor to render ourselves worthy.

ga The GLOWING incident Of a scene in
Congress, the morning after the battle, is
from the correspondent of the New York
Post:
The scene presented by the Senate and
House of Representatives is indescribable.
The gloom hung like a pail over both
Houses and no one seemed to have the heart
to transact the public business. No one
seemed to feel this more than Mr.. Critten-
den, of Kentucky. When he rose on Mon
day morning he asked, g Well what further
news ?" He had gone to bed under the de-
fusion that the Federal army had triumph
ed. " We are routed-utterly routed" was
the reply to his question. The old man
started back in establishment, and when
the facts were brought before him, he went
back, sat down, and putting his head down
upon his hands, burst into tears. I saw him
that night, and there is no longer room for
doubt on which side MIR. Crittenden's feel
ings are enlisted.

So The correspondent of the Indiana
polls Journal, corrects the statement, that
the Fire Zouaves cut off the Black Horse
Cavalry. The writer gives a graphic ac-
count of the onslaught of Sherman's Bat
terry upon this crack regiment:
Sherman's battery was brought off, with
out the loss of a single gun, as l satisfied
myself yesterday on visit to their head
quarters in this city. They not only
brought off every one of their six splendid
pieces, but secured two others besides. The
LAST time their pieces were fred was at the
Black Horse Cavalry who were attempting
to charge the battery just before our retreat
began. The cannonsi were loaded, some
of their men informed me with grape and
canister to within twenty inches of the
muzzle When the cavalry was within one
hundred yards of the battery, the whole
fire was poured into them. The effect of
the discharge is represented as terrible
They fell like grass before the scythe, and
whole lines of horses and riders, in one red
burial blent, marked the terrific issue of the
last charge of the Black Horse Cavalry.

Re- Gen. Patterson has endeavored to
screen himself from censure, by stating that
the cause of his neglect in not attacking
Johnston, was the expiration OF the term of
enlistment of the men under his command.
Mr.. Forney, of the Philadelphia Press, in a
recent letter, says that the Pennsylvania
and Indians troops, under Gen. Patterson,
would gladly have extended the time of
their service. 1t is impossible to believe
that Gen. Patterson was actuated by sincere
ard patriotic motives.

The WOUNDED AT BULLs RUN.-Mr. A.
Croffut, Esq, a civilian, who assisted in one
of the hospitals at Bulls Run, writes the
following account to the Washington Re-
publican:
. It was scene too frightful and sicken-
ing TO witness, much more describe. There
were in it, scattered thickly on the floor,
and in the galleries, sixty or seventy,
wounded in every possible way-arms and
legs shot of, some dead, and scores gasping
for water and aid. The pulpit was appro-
priated for a surgeons room, and the COM
munion table of pioua anarchy became an
amputation table, baptized in willing blood,
and consecrated to the holy uses of Liberty
and Law The road and woods, on either
side and all around are strewn with MAIN
ed and mutilated heroes, and the balls from
rified cannon go over us like winged devils.
There sits Colonel, with his arm bound
up asking to be put on his horse and led
back TO his regiment; here lies a Captain
with grape shot through his head, and
God and brains oozing out we touch
aim tenderly to see if he is dead and yon-
.er comes in pale chaplain, cut by a can.

brave little parish, in the name of Almighty
God, TO the fight And again We enter the
hospital with him. Oh God what hide
