FRIDAY MORNING.......... APRIL 12 ======= ——> A correspondent whose communication appears on the first page of this morning's paper—is puzzled with the seeming anomaly of a country groaning under hard times when it is overflowing with produce and gold. Why business should become stagnant, when, apparently, all the elements of a prosperous commerce richly abound, and the banks are overflowing with treasure, is a mystery which he desires solved. We think the solution is an easy one. The whole difficulty can be explained in three words—<loss of confidence>. Confidence, or faith, is as vital an element of commercial, as of religious prosperity. It is the life-blood of the physical, as of the moral world, and to insure temporal success must be exercised by the sinner equally with the saint. Trade is extremely sensitive; and, singular as it may seem, money—the love of which is pronounced the root of all evil—flies at even the slightest appearance of evil, either in the government, or the people. There is nothing strange in this. Suppose a man has a fine stock of corn on hand in Illinois, which he is anxious to sell in order to settle up with the merchant, who has sold him goods on six or twelve months credit. He understands that if he will ship his corn to New Orleans he can realize a good price for it. But he hesitates. He learns that the people of Louisiana are in open rebellion to the General Government; that they defy its laws and spit upon its authority. Now, urgues the farmer, "what assurance have I, that my corn will not be seized for the benefit of the Secessionists and that I may never receive a dime for it. The times are squally. I had better hold on, and see if they don't brighten up a little." When all branches of industry look at the thing in the same light, it is not difficult to perceive that a general stagnation will be the result. <When people lose confidence in their government, they lose faith in each other>. Hence, an actual state of war is oftentimes not as disastrous to commercial interests as an indefinite, indiscribable dread of terrors which are imagined to exist in the immediate future. Should Fort Sumter be efficiently reinforced and provisioned, and Pickens rendered impregnable to assault, we should look for business to revive forthwith. ———<>——— The Cat not Dead Yet. The people thought they had disposed of the Sheriff when they declined to continue him in office at the October election. But they were much mistaken. He is too tenacious of political life to be disposed of so unceremoniously. He turned up last Wednesday night as the Grand Giascutus of our newly elected City Council. He called his Councilmen together in caucus on Monday night, and arranged the list of officers to be elected, and on Wednesday night attempted to force through the caucus programme; but the Irish and German elements were too conflicting for him to succeed entirely. He was foiled in some instances, but enough transpired to make it manifest that quite a number of the Councilmen look to the Sheriff's office for "instructions." The mass of the people were quiet and inactive at the last election, and permitted political tricksters to gain control of the Council. The current year's experience may teach them the importance of giving greater attention to municipal elections hereafter. ———<>——— The Mayor's Message. We publish this morning the annual communication of his Honor, the Mayor, to the city Council. It will be observed that he recommends the most rigid economy, on the part of the Council, in order that the taxes, under which the people have groaned not u little, even in prosperous times, may be reduced to the lowest attainable limit, during the present season of unexampled commercial depression. In order to accomplish this desirable and long-looked for result, the Mayor thinks no street improvements of any magnitude ought to be undertaken during the present year, unless they are especially solicited by a majority of the property owners on the particular street to be improved. So with the alleys. The Mayor enumerates the circumstances which occasioned so large an outlay on the sewers last year. But these are completed. The drainage of the city is now in fair condition, and will remain so during the ensuing year, and the Mayor sees no necessity for projecting any more until business assumes a more cheerful aspect. We heartily endorse this recommendation of the Mayor. If there is any possible way by which taxes may be reduced, the people expect it to be done. While the residents of other cities take up arms against being taxed so high as 60 cents on the $100, our people have been paying $1 15 on that amount of assessed value; and the assessments have almost invariably been exceedingly high. ———<>——— ALTOGETHER IMPROBABLE.—The Charleston correspondent of the New York Tribune revives the story that in all probability Fort Sumter has been reinforced. He gives as the reason for this belief, that more work has been done in Sumter than could have been accomplished by 20 men; the large number of men that have been seen on the walls of the fortress at different times, and the number of boats that have recently been picked up by fishermen, that appeared as though they had been used and then turned adrift. The theory is not very plausible, though the thing might have happened.— Seventy active men, under the guidance of a skillful officer, like Maj. Anderson, can accomplish a great deal in a short time; and as one of the greatest necessities of the fortification is wood, they would hardly let their boats drift away when they would make such capital fires.

Mayor's Annual Message. GENTLEMEN OF THE COMMON COUNCIL:— You have met this evening to assume the trust delegated to you by the people of the City of Evansville, and as you are about to enter upon the discharge of your duties, I have thought it fit and proper to make a brief statement of the policy which I design to pursue in discharging the duties of my office, and to suggest for your consideration, what, in my opinion, under the circumstances in which we are placed, would be the best course of policy to be pursued in the general direction and management of the affairs of the Corporation for the ensuing year. I entertain the opinion that the necessity, for prudence, caution and careful deliberation, on the part of the Common Conncil, never existed in so great a degree, at any previous time in the history of the City, as at present. The unusual depression of business, in almost all of its departments, and the excessive scarcity of money, render the strictest economy, not merely advisable, but imperative. Burdens, which in ordinary times would be regarded as tolerable, become in times like these oppressive. I, therefore, recommend to the Council, the propriety of fixing and agreeing upon a plan of operations, having in view a reduction of the expenses of every department of the city government to its lowest attainable point. The tax-payers of the City, from whom you and I derive our authority, will expect from us, and have a right to demand, in times like these, such an administration of their affairs as will reduce the burden of taxes to the lowest practicable amount. I, therefore, promise in advance, that I will concur and co-operate with you in all suitable and practicable measures having this object in view ; and I will oppose, by all proper means at my command, every plan or proposition, calculated to add to the expense of the City, when such expense may be by any possibility avoided. During the last year a heavy expense was incurred in the construction of sewers and in grading streets, so as to make the sewers available. Two of these sewers were projected and commenced several years ago, and all of them were projected and contracted for, and nearly completed, previous to the occurrences which have produced the present disturbed condition of the business of the country. If this had not been so, I presume a considerable part of such work, however desirable, would have been deferred. The sewers, however, are now finished, or have progressed so far toward completion, as to justify an entire suspension of work upon them for years to come; and as to anything else in the way of improvements chargeable upon the general tax levy, it is believed that none is required which will involve any considerable expense. As to the improvement of streets and alleys, which is paid for by special assessments upon the property adjoining the streets and alleys improved, I recommend to the Council to order such only as may be desired by at least a majority of the owners of property to be assessed with the expense. The construction of side walks, also paid for by special assessment, should only be ordered where really necessary. Notwithstanding the practice of the most rigid economy, the taxes for the present year will be high, and without such economy, they must be greatly increased, and unless the times improve, it may be found very difficult to collect them. I submit herewith, the report of Soren Sorenson, Esq., City Treasurer, showing the [illegible] year ending April 1, 1861. And I append thereto a statement of the amount derived from several of the ordinary sources of revenue, for each year from April 1, 1854, to April 1, 1861, inclusive, from which it will be seen that the revenue from the several sources enumerated, has increased materially during the last few years. A statement of the present indebtedness and estimated resources of the City for the ensuing year will be prepared as soon as the accounts are properly adjusted, and will be submitted to the Council previous to the time of fixing the rate of the tax levy for the present year. Believing that I have in this brief communication sufficiently indicated the policy which in my opinion ought to be pursued, I will add no more, except to express the hope that our intercourse may be pleasant, and that our respective duties may be so discharged as to promote the welfare and prosperity of the City. W. BAKER, Mayor. MAYOR'S OFFICE, Evansville, April 6, 1861. ———<>——— THE CURRENCY.—Our circulating medium is getting in a most wretched condition, and we think it high time our business men were taking some steps in order to secure right action on the vexed question.— In Pittsburg, the business men held a meeting and resolved to take no depreciated currency except at its actual quotable value in specie, or in bonds of specie-paying banks. The butchers have inaugurated a similar policy here; or rather they have determined not to receive anything but bankable funds in exchange for their meat. They have been compelled to adopt this course because the farmers will not accept any other kind of currency for their cattle. So long as our people continue to use the Illinois aud Wisconsin depreciated money as their principal circulating medium, they may expect to have it thrown upon them in large quantities. Other cities, that excluded it in the outset, have been perplexed very little by having it continually thrust at them. At Indianapolis, Illinois and Wisconsin money has disappeared altogether. Our mechanics and laboring men have no time to keep posted as to the condition of the eighty or ninety banks that have an existence in each one of those two states. Upon them, therefore, almost invariably falls the loss. Justice to them requires that some action should be taken in the matter by our business men, and some uniform course be determined upon. Some plan ought to be adopted by which the stuff could be sent home, so that it would not afflict us any more. ———<>——— APPOINTMENTS.— We learn that John Henson, of this city, and Jacob Voorhees, of Terre Haute, have been appointed Route Agents on the E. & C. R. R., and R. T. Kercheval to a similar position on the river, between this city and Louisville. So far as our knowledge extends, these are all excellent appointments. John McBride has received the appointment of Postmaster at Henderson, Ky. ———<>——— ——>The Corydon Argus comes to us draped in mourning for the death of its Editor, Paul Sieg.

City Attorney. The City Council acted the part of a Judicious client on Wednesday night, in discarding, for the time, party considerations, and, unsolicited on his part, continuing Judge Baker as City Attorney and legal adviser, a position which he has filled for several years. It is poor economy for either individuals or corporations to consult party predilections in the choice of a lawyer, when heavy law-suits or unwilling taxpayers are to be resisted. ———<>——— ——>A copy of the "<Constitution, By-

Laws, Regulations of the Reading Room, and Catalogue of Books of the Evansville Library Association; Organized August 10th, 1855, and Published by order of the Board of Directors>," has been laid on our table. In regard to the typography of the work, we need only to say that it was done in this office, and will compare favorably with pamphlets issued from any other establishment. The Librarian and publication Committee performed no little labor in compiling and arranging this extensive catalogue of books, for the convenience of stockholders, who, we doubt not, will call at the Library Rooms and procure a copy of the Librarian, Mr. Crisp, forthwith. In addition to the Catalogue, every stockholder ought to be thoroughly acquainted with the Constitution and regulations of the association, which are printed for the first time, we believe, with the present Catalogue. The advantage of looking over the Library and selecting the book you desire before you leave home, ought not to be lost sight of, even if only regarded as a saving of time. ———<>——— Fok Washington. John D. Defrees Esq., with his family, will leave Indianapolis on Monday next for the purpose of taking up his residence in Washington City, nis appointment as Superintendent of Public Printing renders it necessary for him to be at the seat of Government during his term of office. Sy"The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press says the Montgomery telegraphic dispatches to the New York Tribune are written by the notorious Gso. N. Sanders. The New York Evening Post, in illustration of the feeling among the men who were sent down South in the vessel recently dispatched from that place, says : In order to show the feeling of these men, on the subject of Union, we will state that when our reporter was this morning questioning one of them, and taking notes, he wrote the word "recapitulation." The man who was watching him, said: " I beg your pardon," sir; but is that "capitulation" which you have written there? I tell you there was no such thing as capitulation amongst us, sir ; not a d d bit of it." i LOCAL NOTICES. BSF Henry Cook, of the Eureka Bazaar, still keeps pace with the times, notwithstanding the stringency in the money market. He yesterday laid on our table a choice selection of " goodies " raisins, figs, almonds, oranges, lemons, &c, and he assures us that he intends to furnish ths public with everything in his line, fresh and good, and as he buys and sell3 for cash, he cannot le undersold. Give him a call, if you want something nice. His establishment is at No. 75 Main street. s"Vhen in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for people to get new clothes, or have their old ones repaired, we would respectfully suggest the propriety of calling on O. Davidson, on First street, who will replenish dilapidated wardrobes with the mt.jt approved styles, on the most accommodating terms and at the shortest notice.
