The Publisher will Ijaye charge of matters in pur absence, and will no doub,t cater to the eaitiafaction of our readers. Evaxsville Its Improvements, &c. It affords us the greatest pleasure to be able to record hat at n,o former period in the history of pur tbriyjng young City rvere its jmproveinents of so, substantial a character and its prospects to cheering, and we congratulate pur friends that after the long, dreary night pf ilftllVlf nn.1 1kruii-wt0iiv tvliisli fioa trointio.l 1 c down and prevented anything like exertion, succeeds a d.:y of brightest hope and promise. From tjijs time Evansville ia destined to thrive and prosper beyond anything ever known in the West, and those who know our city now, and sec it agaiu five years hence will witness such a change in its buildings, business and condition, that will, even iu these days of wonders, seem almost incredible, The improvements and buildings now in progress of erection are of the most substantial Jiiiid,and will, in their appearance and conve nience, compare favorably with the improve ments of any city in the West. Cut our principal object this morning is to make mention of tfye forpation of a Joint Stock Company, for the erection of a large and splendid Hotel on the corner of Locust and Water streets, the stot k of which, we learn, has neatly all been taken. It is contemplated to erect a hotel on the site above named, five stories high, fronting one hundred and fifty feet pn Locust, and one hundred and thirty on Water street.. The first, or basement story, "will be designed for dry goods establishments, and will have five rooms fronting on Water Blree'1.22 by 50 feet, and four on Locust street of about the same sire. There will also be an entrance on Water btreet for gentlemen, and one on locust for ladies. The second story will have Xivo large parlors, one for gentlemen and one for ladies, a dining room 100 feet id length br 25 or 30 wide, an office, hall, and 11 large rooms for families. The third story wil have 23 large rooms situate in front and rear on both streets with a &all 10 feet jnwjdlh run lwug between them the whole length of the building. The fourth and fifth stories wil Jiave 41 larr.e rooms each. The building is to be built of brick in the most substantial roan wer, free from all gingerbread work and de signed for the comfort and convenience of the Ixttrders and visitors. Such a Hotel is now needed here. The grea amount of travel to and from this city, and which is increasing daily, demands an inarease of accommodation .beyond that at present af forded for visitors. The sjte selected is most excellent one, and commands the rirer from every part of it. They are now grading th lot down, and we suppose will commence operations next season. ' .STOLEjr.T-Socebody has sent us a piece of try we suppose it is, and writes: '.'As am but ,14 years of age, I hope you will dea jnildly with me." We . luve no doubt the original stantas are very pretty, but the scapegrace has spoiled them by altering them and vamping in matter which has neither rhyme iior reason' n 'it.'

announred by telegraph from New York that Mr. Van Buren has accepted the nomination for the Presidency by the . Barnburners Conven tion. This seals the fate of Gen. Cass. "The dog is dead" with the old federalist, and we rejoice that it is so for the sake of our locofoco friends. We could not bear the idea that they should be driven to support an old black cockade federalist, and a riefarmer of the great Jefferson.It was asking tod much of them, and we iopp that hereafter the leaders of the party will know belter what they are about when they meet in conve ntipn. We rejoice for the sake of our neighbor of the Democrat, who hates federalists with a great stomach, and who came very qear caving in when he learned that Cass was nominated. v e hope now he will smooth out the wrinkles that vexation and disappoint ment was fast inflicting upon hit haqdsome face and look good natured again. True, there is o Qpe of Mr. Van Bürens being . elected. but then ht will l(at Cass, and it is always some satisfaction to bp able tp say "I vaj not last in the race. 0CT"IfI rightly understand the principles of the Barnburners, am a Barnburner, and shall vote for Mr. Van, Buren," said an intelli gent democrat in our hearing the other day. There was one matter he seems tq understand without being told, and that is that Cass has 0 i. ... 4 ..... 1 . no principles. AThvxdeb Storm m New Jcastv.-On Mon dar week, a terrrific thunder storm visited Trenton and vicinity. " "'At Trenton, efcht men were stunijed and some of them prostrated vj 1 nc eiecuiciiy. uin. ny. At Detroit a few days ago, a clap of thunder struck one Gen. Cass and so stunned him that his best Irjenils hare given up all hopes of his recovery.

CQA Washington correspondent says the Trojan thrust given by the Democracy of Troy, to Mr. Dickinson of New York, about his wjhing to have been born in Virginiu, clings to him like the shirt of Ncssus.

(GrThe N. Y. Journal of Commerce makes mention of Mr. Van Buren'a nomination, and says.

Cass in Miciiioan. It is stated that wo hundred leading and influential democrats 11 the county of Wayne, Michigan, (the couny in which Gen. Cass resides,) have signed a paper repudiating the Baltimore ticket, pro mising their support to the Utica nominees: nd that in other portions of the State, the democratic masses are ready to co operate with their brethren of Wayne coun7. C3"The editor of the Norwich (Ct.) Courier state that among the vice presidents of the Rough and Heady club, in that city, they re cognise theoamesof half a dozen prominent and influential men, who have heretofore supported the Democratic party aud its noraiu ations. CCTThe Troy, (N. Y.) Budget says that a large number of the prominent and true Dem ocrats of N. II. utterly and openly repudiate the nomination of Cass, and that they will gire their support to the nominee of the Utica con vention. CGrThe Syracuse Journal, iu the heart of the great State, of New York, thus speaks right out. The masses, the bone and sinew of the Whig party, are ready to come forward 111 one solid column to the support of Taylor and Fillmore. They are impressed with feelings in their favor that inspire them to action. Iiae those that prompted their leader in the contests ol Kesaca de la Palma and Buena Vista, certain that vic tory will be sure. Talk not to us about bolt ing the ticket in centre 2iev York. The idea is preposterous. lhe Whigs of Oaondago county are ready to pledge 1,000 majority tor Taylor and Fillmore, aud if more is desired the number will be increased. la making this statement we speak with confidence, having taken some pains to hear expressions of opinion from Whigs in the several towns in the county. There u but one impression among them, and that is a belief that our ticket will succeed by a, greater majority than was ever obtained by our opponents, even iu the Palmiest days of Locofotoism. Such are the feelings with which the Whigs accept the and approve the decision of ihi highest tribunal ol the party.

A patriot is never discharged but by death.

Dub Sir: I have the houor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 20 ih inst., delivered to me yesterday, by Secretary Mitchell, tenderinz me a temporary appointment of a Senator from Kentucky, in consequence of a vacancy produced by the resignation of Mr. Crittenden. Your Excellency is pleased to urce me to accept the office from various rea sons, which I admit possess considerable force. There is much ground to apprehend that, both in our domestic and oreign relations, grave and momentuous questions may arise, the proper adjustment of which will require all the moderation, wisdom and experience which can be placed in the national councils. v hen you were kind enough, some weeks ago to intimate to me that you had intended, 111 the event of the vacancy which has since occurred, to offer me an executive appoint ment, it is true that I observed to you that as I had taken formal and final leave of the United StatesSenate, I could not return to it without apparent inconsistency and some personal emoarrassmem. uui tuts was not me oniy consideration that weighed with me. My se n ice 1 ii 1 lia t 9Mr rV m Vw rta rf "Vt rv fv ra flftrl twfl 1 0flfV and arduous,.! had remained in the Senate longer than I wished, at the instance of the General Assembly of Kentucky. I needed retire ia iu v w vuuui w a wa 1 .? mmvb q ment and repose; and there were many nigniy competent citizens of the State, from whom an easy selection might be made to supply my place. If there were a certainty that any gr at em ergency would arise, and that I, better than an other, could assist in conducting the govern ment safely through it, obeying the paramount duty which one owes ever to his country, I would suppress all repugnance which 1 feel to the resumption of a seat in the Senate, disregard all etiquette, make any personal sacrifices and proceed with alacrity, to the post which might be assigned me. But dark and threatening as the clouds are which overhang us, I hope that they will be dispersed, without any storm bursting upon our heads; but if it should come, I am persuaded that the Commonwealth has many citizens more able than lam, to face and avert its effects. ' I must, therefore, adhere to the resolution which I communicated to your Excellency, and restttctfullv decline accenting the ap pointment which you have the goodness to offer me. If it were possible for me to reconcile to my feelings, and to a sense 01 puDiic auiy, my re turn to the Senate, there are some minor con sideratlons opposed to my acceptance of a tern norarr aDDOiutmeni. not witnoui weigm in my . . . a s a mind.

As they wilhdiew the auger it was followed by a violent current of air that threw up stones as Urge as ben'tf eggs, ten or fifteen feet high. For a few moments, when iho hole was first opened, lhe air was accompanied by a stream ol water which was thrown ten or twelte feel high. Tho water, howeier, soon ceaed coining, and the air gushed out with auch lorco that the roar could be distinctly heard fifty or sixty rod distant. On touching fire 10 the air, it caoght, and the flames flashed twenty feet high. They finally succeeded with considerable difficulty in stopping it, by forcing down blankets and driving a spile iuto the hole, which way their only means ol stopping the air or gs, and exiinuiihinz the flames. For several moments alter the hole was stopped, the earth trembled and shook for some distance around, as though an eruption was about to take place.

INTERESTING ACCOUNT OF THE

TRIAL OF JOHN MITCIIEL. The Foreign correspondent of the the N. Y. Tribune, gives the lollowing graphic and interesting account of lhe trial of the Irish patriot, John ftlitchcl: Dublin, Ireland, Way xo, iia. I have but a few moments in which to be gin to comply wilh your request to furnish you an occasional article, especially when 1 ell in with news ol particular interest touciincr the affairs of the Old World. I arrived in this city the day belore yesterday from Limerick, the residence of the O'Btiens, whose names ate at present the terror of lhe English Ministry, and the hope of Ireland. I have this moment returned from the spe cial session of the Crimnal Assize conven ed lor the trial of Mr. John Mitchel, iudicted lor sedition, having utieied and publish ed incendiary language in a speech in Linv erick, and iu his mi per printed here. The excitement is iutense. 1 have never seen any thing like it in America. The feeling is deep and vehement, though, like the stillness which precedes the earthquake, little is seen or felt on the surface other than the heaving and rumbling which indicates im pending danger. Yesterday was occupied luempanneling a Jury. Toward night one was obtained ev ery Catholic being rejected by the govern ment ! It is virtually a packed" Jury, and so much was laid to the charge of the Queen's Attorney by Mr. M.'s counsel; to which 'twas replied that instructions had been given by the Lrd Lieuteuaut to do no such thing. 1 lua fact ol giviug instructions was severs ly commented upon, especially when it was sworn that all the Jurors had been fairly selected, that they were good and pro per men, and yet challenged by the very men who had sworn to their fimess. To day the desire to gain admission to the Court Room was mauilesied by filling up the avenues leading to the Court Room. A posse of 20Q policemen is stationed in all the streets about tie Court, with express orders to allow nobody to stand near. The city is patrolled in all directions, to prevent the collection of any number of men to talk upon the subject of Repeal. Fourteen thau sand troops ate quartered in the city to overawe the people and prevent disorder. The four barracks are all full, with portions of Trinity Co' lege and numerous dwellinghouses. Two hundred cavalry guaid the Lord Lieutenant, and some twenty mounted policemeu are kept before the Courthouse, ready at any instant to summon the soldiery if required. We gaiued admission by a permit from the Sherill'on our own tccomiiieudation as Amer icaus. The room was lull. The Court, consisting of two Lords stern, hard-featar-ed looking meu in red gowns, dark, drab velvet borders and gray, wig were on the bench. Some hundred or more banisters, young and old, in black gjwus, gray cuiled wigs and bands like Episcopal priests, were in attendance. Seventy-five policemen, ih black dresses, wilh poculiar hats and buttons, were scattered over the room to preserve order. The prisoner, a modest -looking man of some thirty-five years, was at the bar. The Slate's Attorney presented his case, and introduced his proof, which occupied not over an hour and a half. Ue was followed by Mr. Holmes, a venerable old man of near eighty years. A more powerful peech than his 1 never heard, lie was clear, bold, for. able and direct in all he said. Though twice inierrufried by the Court, he maintained his position leatlessly and the Court yielded. 1 venture a more incendiary speech was nevei head ofT or delivered iu Ireland. A finer specimen of pure eloquence, a more Otveriul aud pathetic appeal in favor of human rights, struggling under oppression, has tarely been uttered in any age or country of ihe wotld. lie. kept back nothing, but char ged upon the British Ministry the cause of Ii the poverty, crime and suffeiing prevailing in this country.

I hope you will procure and publish thai speech lor the benefit ol Americans. Mr. Hohnes was followed by Mr. Ilenn, who was a god speaker, but, lest we should hwe the impression of the former, we lefi duiiiig its delivery. What tho result will be cannot be known, but from lhe character of the Jury it is probable a veidict of guilty will be found. If so, nobody can tell the result. I have little hope for Ireland. Everything, in my opinion, depends ou the magnanimity of Engltnd, a commodity in which she never deals but sparingly ! I have many things to say ol this beautiful and lovely but oppressed and wretched country. I have seen such pictures of wretchedness as my eyes never looked on before.
