A story is tald OF shrewd but not over
honest stock raiser in Canada, who took the

The Washington Chronicle seems to disap-
prove very much Of the course Of the National
Intelligencer and says that under the thin
guise Of professed regard for the Government,
that paper vainly seeks to hide it's real feelings
against the war, and while showing an outward
sign of hostility to the rebellion it cannot sink
it's innate affection for those who sympathize
with it. This is because the war policy of the
Intelligencer is not agreeable to the views of
the Chronicle.

REAL EsTATE-We hope our readers
will not fail to attend the sale of City
lots to come off this afternoon, in the
Court Room We are informed that it
is the intention of the proprietors, to sell
each lot that may be offered. The list
embraces some very valuable lots for
business purposes, as we'll as many espe-
cially desirable for residences, and with
such a range Of values as will bring them
within the reach of all.
The local advantages of Evansville are
remarkable; our City Free schools are
admitted to be the best regulated in the
State, and furnishes superior education
al advantages to every class. Our work
shops and manufactures, growing daily
in number, create constant and in
creasing demand for laborers and arti-
zans of every description; while the
steady, safe and solid progress made by
Evansville since 1854, through two sea.
sons of panic in the monetery world,
and during terrible civil war, are the
host Indications of inho~o-t ~t-or1sth and
anargy. and afford conclusive grounds
for predicting for Evansville continued
prosperity.
The real estate to which we refer alone
affords fine opportunity for safe and
profitable investment, and we especially
call the attention of our friends to the
valuable and elegant lots for residences
on Water, First and second streets, ex-
tening into Union, Ashland and Avon
Places, adjoining Col Bakers residence,
to whom the property, as we are inform
ed, belongs

TOBACCO TRADE.-The ST. Louis Re
publican boasts of the construction in
that city of tobacco warehouse capable
of containing 5000 -hogsheads of that
stable in store at one time. That is
little better than we are doing aoithOut
boasting The warehouse we.are building,
and have nearly finished, has capacity to
store only about 1900 hogsheads. The
tobacco trade is increasing with such ra-
pidity, however, that the building of a
second warehouse, like unto that requir
ed for St Louis, will soon be necessity.
When the crop of tobacco now planting
in the southern parts of Indiana and Illi-
nois, as well as in Kentucky, is gather
ed, the warehouse capacity of our city
will be found far too small to accommo-
date the shipments that will be made to
and from this port.

urday last announced that ION and after
Monday following the embargo upon
trade with Memphis, and other points
South on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers,
will be raised, SO that shipments of most
of the staple articles of produce can
thereafter be made"
We have heard of nothing of the kind
in our city, though the embargo may
also have been raised here. If it is so
raised, the announcement ought to be
made public, so that all may have a
chance for the trade which is doing so
much to sustain the sinking cause of the
rebels. Permits to ship goods to Mem
phis is indirectly granting permits to
take them to any part of JEFF Daviss

days in that city, and pay any attention

ing to such a conclusion.

A GREAT LIAR.-The traitor at WASH

nearness of relationship by the similarity
of features OF manners, we should pro-
nounce him at once as the oldest son of
the Father of Lies" At any rate we
feel safe in declaring him child of the
Devil"
We quote from one of his recently
written epistles:
Perhaps it will not surprise you to
learn that there are persons now here
who are making great efforts to have
Admiral Dupont removed from his COM
mand, and even dismissed in disgrace
from the navy. They are the same kind
of men who bounded Gen. Mcclellan,
Gen. Porter, Gen. Franklin and Gen.
Buell.. They boast that they have already
obtained the Presidents promise that
Admiral Dupont shall be removed, at
least as soon as be can find a successor.
Thus all good men in the army and navy
are stricken down
Even the readers of the Times and
State Sentinel know that the above is
false. The principle assailant of Admit
raj Dupont, is Mr.. Fulton, one of the ed
itors and proprietors of the Baltimore
american, while his most Jealous de-
fender is the New York Tribune Mr.
Fulton was as fulsome in his hattery of
Mcclellan as he is bitter in his denuncia-
tons of Dupont He is the same gentle
man who was granted unusual facilities
for getting news to his paper after the
hard fighting on the Peninsula. 1t will
be remembered that his announcement
of the result of that disastrous conflict
was, that McClellan's escape to James
River was great strategic victory, which
must result in the speedy capture of Rich
mond. Yet the correspondent says he
is one of the men who "hounded Gen.

ANOTHER BRITISH PRIZE.-The British
prize steamer Gertrude of London, Act
ing Master McSloin, from Nassau, N.
P, has arrived at New York.
The Gertrude was captured on the
10th inst, off Harbor Island, by the
United States gunboat Vanderbilt, after
chase of several hours. She was
bonnd to Charleston, S. c., but on arri-
wing off that port, she found it SO closely
blockaded, that IL was impossible to run
in. She then started on her return to
Nassau, and was captured as stated
She is two hundred and fifty tons, iron
built, six months old, two hundred and
fifty horse power, and has a cargo of
gunpowder and military stores. Her
clearance shows her to be from Nassau,

BA- Goodwin & Wilder's Polyorama
of the war is meeting with immense SUI
cess wherever it goes; in fact having
sort of triumphal march unprecedented
in the annals of panoramic paintings.
At Niblo's Saloon, the most fashionable
hall in New York, the elite and beauty
of that city gathered nightly in vast
throngs to witness this matchless pro-
duction of art In Pittsburg, for three
consecutive weeks, Masonic Hall was
crowded to overhowing, hundreds being
nightly turned from the doors. While
open in Cleveland, the Academy of Mu-
sic in that city was densely packed at
each entertainment, and many were turn
ed from the doors. In Cincinnati, Smith
& Ditson's Hall was crowded for four
weeks, and the press of that city were
loud in their enconiums.
This grand Polyorama was exhibited in
this city for the first time last evening,
and the immense crowd in attedance ex-
pressed their appreciation by tumultuous
applause. 1t will doubtless meet with
