VALUE OF Administrations publishers
says the author Of the "Great Metropolis are of
opinion, that it were to incur an unnecessary ex-
penditure of money to advertise book which
sells well without advertising. This is an error ;
for it will always be found, that fa book sells
we'll without advertising, it wonld have twice
the sale if liberally advertised. The sum usually
expended by spirited publishers in London in
advertising interesting books, is about 9l00
($444) Tho best proof of the beneficial effect
of advertising is to be found in the fact that those
houses which have once began the practice of
liberal advertising invariably continue it. The
amount of money which some OF the larger hou
SEES in London expend in advertising their works
in the cource of the year, is little short of $4,000
lover $2200GD
What do some of our forty dollar subscribers
think of this These facts apply to all kind
of business and it the "penny wise and pound
foolish" would only throw out a little more bait
for advertising, they would find it would contri-
butte towards filling their Golfers more rapidly
than under the system of occasional advertising

Nor EVEN "RAGs" FOR THE PEOPLE The 4th
Of March, period which usually gladdens the
hearts of the war-worn veterans of the revolution,
day of disappointment to many this year, in
this section. They applied at the usual agencies,
and many ofthem put off with the story that
there money for them. The amount for
wurded to the agents, it is said, was not sufficient
to pay them. They could not get even rags, when
the law allows them specie, which the Government
receives from its debtors The President and his
subordinates, members of Congress, &c paid in
specie, but rags, nothing will answer for the old
soldiers, think these specified arstocrats Well,
Uncle Sam has failed. 'Those that do business
credit ought to break, - said General Jackson; and
as the Government has issued Treasury Notes, we
suppose it but just that it should fall according to
tho axiom of the old chief With forty millions of
dollars in the Treasury two years ago, we now
reduced to national bankruptcy; the country dis
graced, and every day sinking deeper and deeper.
Here is the promised REFORM and the quack democ-
racy of the age Will the people endure such i'm
positions, and not seek remedy, by hurting the
demagogues who have consummated their ruin, from

IVA story has been published-which may or
may not be true-that Webb, after he found that
Cilley and Graves had gone out to fight, went in
pursuit with two friends, with the intention of com
polling Cilley to fight him instead of Graves, and
in case Cilley declined 10 shoot HIM down on the
spot. If this indicates the true character of Webb
he is nearly match in rvfianism for Gen. Jack
son, and a fit associate of Thomas H. Benton-a
trio of as blood thirsty gladiators ever infested
a civilized country.
