PROSPECTUS
FOR THE THIRD VOLUME OF THE
GIS&RGSY ADVOCATE.
JAMES M. SMILEY, Editor.


Notwithstanding the unparalleled pressure,
which for the last twelve months, has crampoi
and trammelled every depart ment of the Me.
chanca, Agricultural and Commercial com.
munlty, the unwearied and ndefatigable ener
gies OF American enterprise, are once more
giving evldenceof higher and farer prospect
before us. That quescent attribute, which, for
a time, seemed to mark and designate our
downward procvity to carelessness and indh.
ference, has fortunately awakened from its
sluggish apathy; and partially dsinhraIled
from the fatal influence of 100 blind credu
lily in the infallbity of those whom we have
elevated above us, may we not still indulge the
hope, that there is yet held in reserve, hap.
lpy result in the experiment Of this last and
once purest Of Repubics2
lnstigated, in part, by that grand revoutieu
which has already commenced, and whichH
still going on in the opinion of the people, SO
far as respects the political relations existing
between the respective States and the FEEDER.
al Government, the present Proprietor is about
TO embark in the publication Of the Liberty
Advocate.
Two years ago, this journal dated its origin,
at period when, in this County, It had many
difficulties to encounter, and the strongest OPP
position to contend with The enduring, and,
as we conceive, orthodox principles, which
havenurtured and sustained the journal through
good and through evil report" had then il
their infancy, but mere minority which sus'
tanned it. But, the resistless march OF human
reason, before whose advance all obstacles
must ultimately recede, has brought about )
brighter and q farer dawn; and the phllaE'
thropist and the patriot can now look in pro-
spectve upon the revisit of those purer days
which once pointed to the destiny OF our much
beloved country.
The political creed of the Advocate will 30
The same which it has heretofore advocated
State Rights and Stale Sovereignty, will be the
arterial action which shall give life and anlnA-
,tlon to its political Characteristic, while ex'
,rcisng tenacity for those principles when
will never yield to caprice, the columns Oh TINS
ournal will, at all times, be open to libeIsl
discussion, and offered as ready channel othe
ide of passing events, and an acceptable orga"

PROSPECTUS
III f. WEEKLY pICAYUNE

- - W - - IN - L n L " N II,
In consequence of the popularity which oul
daily paper has gained in all sections of the
country, and the numerous demands we arc
receiving from all quarters for weekly iour.
nal, we have determined on starting one of thai
description, to be entitled the "THE WEEKLY
PICAYUNE."
Toadopt the same fguratve style used in our
hrst prospectus, we have fitted out the "Ptca-
y"ne" for more distant voyages, and lreighted
her with all sorts Of notions in the shape of
and if the same success attends her
which she has met with while coastng nearer
home, we shall doubtless receive rich returns.
10 prepare our little craft for the more ex-
tended sea on which she is destined 10 move
we have put on her many additions and i'm.
Provemens Some of her old timbers have
been taken out and replaced by new-she has
a greater measurement foreand aft. greater
length Of beam, and her sheets have been ma.
erlally enlarged.
Notwithstanding the increased size, the pub
&c may rest assured that the 'Picavune' will be-
enabled to work in Shoal oater with the same
AGILITY as heretofore, and form channels of
which it would be folly for the
lull, heavy vessels at present sailing this port
o navigate.

CREDIT.

A merchant who had been doing a snug cash
business during the past pressure, remarked in
our hearing the other day, that credit had a.
gain got to be SO cheap that his cash sales a.
mounted TO little or nothing. 1t is about time
for our merchants TO begin to look before thew
leap. lfthey rush into the same vortex of ex-
tended credits which so recently brought ruin
upon nearl y one half oftheir number, and no.
ways agreeable pressure upon the bank account
OF the other halt, it will be with their yes open
for they cannot close them to the trades of
ruin which yet hang like pail over the mer-
|cantile interest. 1t is none of our buisne9s TO
advise in these matters. Merchants are pre-
Sumed to know their own business great deal
better than we do, and ofcourse they will not
thank US for advice. We shall not charge them
any thing for it, however, and gentle hint on
such terms is cheap enough. If, after the bit.
ter experience Of the two last panics, they go on
in the same old way of giving credit to every
one who applies for it, trusting to good times
and the law against false pretences for payment,
ten TO one another pressure will find them una
BILE to struggle against its tide. We do not 90
the whole Of Gen. Jackson's sentiment, that
those that do business on borrowed capital
sought TO break" because we believe that bor-
roDed capital, when such capital is not 6cti-
'iOuS, is the LIFE AND SOUL OF BUSINESS; but VIC
10 think that those who dive into harum scar
am system of credits, reckless ofany other con-
than those Of making large nominal
profits, will most inevitably "break."

THE BEAUTIES OF JACKSONLSN


Afull sketch Of the recent speech of Mr.. Prem
tlss, of Mississippi, has already been given by
the correspondent Of the Patriot. But the fol-
lowing from the correspondent of the Portland
Advertiser, is pithy and tothe point. The cor,
respondent says:
Mr. Prentiss, in his speech on the abuses in
the treasury department, referred to the fact,
that the secretary swore before the lnvestga-
ting committee, in February, 1897, thar he
knew Of mo delalcations.
Mr.. Prentiss then read correspondence pro
wing that Mr.. Woodbury. did know of defalca-
tons which took place as long since as 1884.
This correspondence between Wiley P. Harris
"a receiver of public money in Mississippi, and
deiauler to the amount of 500 10000 dol
ars-and the secretary Of the treasury, occur
red during two years and half. and ended, it
lis believed, in 1886. The letters read, written
by Mr.. Woodbury. in regard to Mr. Harris case,
were eighteen in number. The summing up
lot NJ. T. was most amusing, and was done in a
manner something like the following:
Letter first, from Mr.. Woodbury. TO Mr.. Har-
rs--

you.

and must pay what you owe, or be
emoved.

rom the secretary Of the treasury to Harris
onsoumod two years and six months of the +
after part OF General Jackson's administration.
he secretary Of the treasury swears in Febtu-
ry 1887, that he knows of no delalcations!
carly in 1888, the secretarypublshes two hun.
red and sixty letters, embodied in a report N
nore two hundred ofwhich, complain of viola
ions OF duty on the part the officers of the
eneral government? Let the friends Of Mr..
Woodbury. reconcile, ifthey can, these facts.
