A SPLENDID BUILDINa-A MAG
NIFIcENT HALL.-The large building
erected by Messrs. Wolfin 4 VAIN
siedler, corner of First and Vine
Streets, is now fast approaching COM
pletion. Tt presents quite an impos-
ing appearance, and is certainly very
attractive The building contains three
ground rooms "a BY 80feet, all of which
front on First Street. In the second
story of the building are correspond
ing rooms which will be let with the
roo ms below. A wide and comnodi
GUS stairway leads from First Street
to the third story of the building,
where the observer is ushered into a
splendid hall, the most elegantly I'm
ished. and the largest in the city.
This hall is so BY so feet, with CELL
ing wenty-eight feet high. The
building contains 100000 bricks,
and is substantially built. The car
penter work was done by Messrs-
Tribble, Myers & Bro, and reflects
credit on them as mechanics. 1t is
the intention to INACCURATE this splen-
did hall with grand ball, about
Christmas. 1t is real credit to the
city as well as the owners.
THE HEALTH OF EvANsvILLE.-A
careful examination of the report of
the Secretary of the Board of Health,
published with the Council Proceed
ings in Tuesdays JOURNAL, will show
that Evansville is one of the most
healthy cities in the West. As will
be seen by reference to that report,
the whole number of interments in
the several cemeteries, during the
last year, was 339, of which at least
thirty were from the country, four
by accident, three Of old age and one
of delirium trenens, leaving the total
number of deaths from ordinary dis
eases in the city, 300, being less than
one per cent. of our entire population
during the whole year. This state
ment shows a most extraordinary SAN
itary condition, perhaps not equaled-
certainly not Supposedly any city
of like population on the continent.
OF the whole number of deaths during
the year in the city, more than two
thirds were children under ten years
of age, and, indeed. almost two thirds
of the deaths were children under five
years. This slaughter of the limo
cents" as il might rightly be called,
should ineite an interest in parents to
ascertain, if possible, the cause of
such large proportionate mortality
among the children of our city.
This extraordinary sanitary condi-
ton may, In a great measure, be attrib-
uted to the excellent system of drain
age and street improvements inaug-
urated BY Ex-Mayor Baker, and so
extensively carried forward during his
administration. As these genuine
sanitary measures are carried forward
from year to year, we doubt not the
comparative health of the city will i'm
prove in like ratio.

A PRoBABLE CANARD.-The sons of
two well known citizens of Wheeling,
have been for time attending the in
stitution of learning, located at Mari
eta. known as the Marietta College.
On yesterday we learned that negro
had been recently admitted to the col
lege, and in consequence of this stop
ono of these young gentlemen returned
home Con Wednesday,, we think) and
the other holds himself in READINGS to
do 30 in case the despised African should
become at all unpleasantly prominent.
While there appears to be no doubt
ofthe return of the young gentleman
mentioned, there is probability that
the report is somewhat incorrect, as a
reliable citizen of Marietta, in town
yesterday, stated thai he was utterly
unaware of The presence of any colored
yonth in the college. Our informant
should certainly be posted as he resides
within square of Marietta College, and
has son attending there. We did not
see the returned student, and do not
know what may have been actually
said by him.

BASE BALL.-The lovers of the game
will no doubt be interested in learning
that n grand base ball tournament will
be held at Marietta, Ohio, next wednes-
day, the 2lst inst. We understand
that an clubs are invited to attend and
take part in the exercises. The Mears
Club of steubenville, will probably
attend. and possibly some of the clubs
from Wheeling may determine to 60
down. 1t Is more than likely, we
think, that the Hickorys of McCon.
nelsville, Ohio, will be on the ground,
and If so, they will stand q
fair chance for the victory. i
will be remembered that the Kick
DRY club won a silver ball from tn,
Clncinnatis, a year ago last summer
but were themselves defeated by the
latter at GAINESVILLE during the early
part of August. The prize offered fol

THE ATHENEUM RU1Ns.-A begin
ming was made yesterday in removing
the debris OF the brick walls from the
site of the late Atheneum disaster. A
party of men were occupied in sorting
the brick, removing the mortar from
whole ones and placing them in piles,
while the fragments were cast aside. A
large part of the building material can
thus be used in the erection of another
edifice. Piles of extra barley malt lay
in the street, whittier they were carried
out all day in sacks. The en-
tire quantity of grain was rendered
worthless for anything except feed.
The heavy rods of iron which had
been used as supports and braces, lie
upon the masses of broken wall, bent
and twisted rs though they had been
wires, showing the tremendous force
which had torn them from their places.
The ruins were still smoking at dark
last evening.

NEW YoRK, August, 7th, 1865.

MR.. EDITon:-Several of your CORES
pondents, very old and respectable no
doubt, seem to be wonderfully exer-
cised as to the origin OF our PLANTATION
BITTERs. So long as these Bitters are
all that we represent them to be. we do
not know that it makes any difference
from whence they originated; but for
the information of the public generally,
and old Capt. Vents in particular, we
will say that he told the truth, and that
these Bitters originated in the West
India Islands-that many of the ingre-
dients have been favorably used for
over century, but our combination of
Calisaya is entirely new, and our own.
The rum and other materials are the
same, and as your correspondent says,
a better Bitters and Tonic is not made.
We recommend them particularly for
dyspeptics, fever and ague, debility,
loss of appetite, and in all cases where
tonic and stimulant is required.

FAlRMoNT.-A gentleman who came
through Fairmont yesterday, reaching
here on the afternoon train, informs us
that company of U. s. troops arrived
there on Wednesday night and had
pitched their tents short distance
from the town. Fairmont was filed
with people yesterday, who had come
in from the surrounding country, and
it is probable (though our informant
was not positively informed,) that the
Board of Registration was then In seq.
sion. With this salutary check upon
their disorderly tendencies, it is to be
hoped that the work of the Registrars
may proceed without further "protest"
from the disloyal part of the popula-
ton,

THE TURNER's FEsTIyAL.-A boun-
tiful supply of substantials and Trailer
refreshments was served up at the Hall
last night, and a creditable display of
fancy goods contributed by the Turn
ers, aud their friends decorated the
room. We noticed among the usual
| "side shows" scattered through the
hall, an enclosure bearing the sign
"Grsat Menagerie and Panorama,
SchIaberdefcherwens Agent" bit
of Teutonic humor whicE seemed to be
heartily appreciated by the readers.
We noticed among the decorations, a
handsome silk flag of the new German
Confederation, inscribed in German.
at o the Social Turner Society, present.
ed by the German ladies of Wheeling"
The colors are three equal stripes of
black, white and red.
In the early part Of last summer,
the United Presbyterian Church was
purchased by the Turner's for $4,000,
and in July they began the changes
and notifications which they have
Just completed at cost of $4,000.
A stage of twenty eight feet in depth
occupies the front of the hall, with
complete out fit.of foot lights, drop cur
tain and scenery. To tho left on en-.
tering is an ample cloakroom, while in
the basement a saloon, a dining COM
partment and gymnastic room, are coz
yeniently arranged. We could not
learn the receipts OF last evenings fes-
tival, but judge that the fair damsels
who attended the tables had little rea-
son to complain.

THE BURNING OF THE BuTLER.-Capt
Miller of the Butler, in answer to a
dispatch, received yesterday morning
this telegram from Cincinnati 1.-THE
Butler is insured against fire; officers
will probably send somebody up
(Signed) @. G. Pearce." AS nothing
further was received during the day the
amount of the insurance and the offices
issuing the policies, are unknown.
There were no lady passengers on
board the boat at the breaking out OF
the fire, and but few gentlemen. a
portion of the freight reported lost yes
terday morning, was unIniured, hay-
ing been taken out in time TO secure
It. The Butler had twenty-one mules on
board, In charge of the owner, and of
these, four were known to have per-
ished, two were missing yesterday,
and the others were saved. The own
er feels confident that if assistance had
been afforded him by the crew, the
whole number could have been taken
ashore.
AS we stated yesterday morning, the
hull of the vessel remains almost un-
injured. The engines will suffer con-
sidera BILE damage from the combined
effect of fire and water. The money in
the safe, which was only partially fire.
proof was removed, and the latter was
left locked. No effort was made to
open it this morning, as 1t was on fire
within, and all the contents were de-
stroyed. We understand that all the
moro valuable papers of the boat were
saved.
a watch belonging to one of the engin-
GERS and which hung near the engine,
fell among the unconsumed rubbish
and was recovered this morning, with.
out having suffered serious damage.
Much credit is due the fire companies
for their labors in quenching the flames
and prove ntiDg total loss of the boat.
And the advent of the new steam fire
engines which the city has resolved to
purchase will do very much to render
any further serious fires most rare
