BARRIERS POLE.

: Rove not from POLE to POLE, but here turn in
The origin of the BARRIERS Pole is to BE-
traced to thu period when the BARRIERS were
also surgeons, under the denomination of
barber surgeons, or barber chirurgeons,
none other in former times beiog allowed
to "let blood" To assist this operation
it being necessary for the patient to grasp
a staff, a stick or pole was always kept by
the barber surgeon, together with the fiet
or b~andaging used for tying the patients
arm. Wnen the pole vas not in use, the
tape was tied to it, thatssbeN1hight both
be forthcoming when wanted. On a per-
son coming to be bled, the tape was olsen
gagged from the pole, and bound round the
arm, and the pole was put into the perssn's
hand; after it was done, il IS again tied
on, aud in this state the ole and tape
were often hui at the d9fE for a sign or
a notice to lGsengers tAA they might
there be bled9 At length, instead of hang
ing out the Identical pole used in the oper~
alton, a pole was paintednvith stripes round
it, in imitation Of the real pole and lis
bandages, and thus cam the sign.
A few years since and almost every
barber in Philadelphia drew teeth, cup1ad
and leeehed, besides operating on the chin.
Times have changed to be sure, and with
a very few exceptions, only in some of the
upper districts, do We see any thing of t.ais
union of occupations.
In England, too, the custom w1.ch
united the three branches of business has
long since ceased, but formerly it lst
have obtained generally. W. remember
reading the following lines forty years ago,
which we then considered descriptive OF
an obsolete custom
His pole with pewter bason hung,
And rotten teeth in order stfung,
Might well his three fold trade explain,
To shave, drar.7 teeth, and breathe a vein.

previous receipts, make total 19l48 bales.

however. has been more actiYe. Inequality Of

rules for practical life Were given BY MIR.
Jefferson, in a lettersof advice to his name

/. Never put of'till tomorrow what you
can do to-day
2. Never trouble others to do what you
can do yourself
5. Never spend your money before you
have it.
A. Never buy what you do not want be-
cause it Is cheap.
5. Pride costs US more than hunger,
thirst and cold.
6. We never repent of having eaten too
little.
Z. Nothing is troublesome that we do
willingly.
5. How much pain those evils cost us
which never happened.
9. Take things always by their smooth
handle.
10. When angry count ten before you
speak.

SATURDAY, Dec. A, lSAl.

r. The Business season has now commence
ed, and the farmers are bringing their Cotton
In. We do moi see the necessity oil the Plan
t.rs sending their Cotton through the mud to
Gainesville and other landings on the river, as
our .ownsman, David Buck, is erecting good
and Substantial Ware House, where they may
Store il, secure from the weather, till
Barge Navigation commences; and then, be-
sides the other Barges, Lowber g. CO., Of Mo-
bile, will run Three and Substantial BargeS,
IRON Macon to the mouth of the Noxubee,
where Steam Boats will be ready to take it out
Of the BargeS, without the least delay. BY
that means they may ship their Cotton through,
and their Stores back, which will save great
deal Of trouble, and ,he Warehouse fees on
the Bigby river. TheS, facilities, will, we be-
lieve, do away with the necessity Of wagsonlnS
Cotton tU the landings on the Bigby, till The
Noxubee river is made navigable for Steam
Boats, which we hope, will be the case next
season.

From the following article, from the Mis-
sissipp Creole, it appears that Texas is about
TO follow the example Of her older Sister States
in the payment Of her debts
"It is said that the first measure OF Gen. sam.
Housion'S administration will be 10 declare me

solyency. THIS is certainly 4 very important
movement and will produce very material
change in the aspect OF affairs Of that young
Republic. This has been the custom, in SUB
stance, though not exactly i'll form Of the Eng
lish Government, for ages. They never pay
any of their national debt--and hardly seem
disposed 10 pay the interest. Texas is reduced
to this measure BY Sheer necesSy-and q

Her deb is twelve or fourteen millions, and
herrevenpe is received in notes ofthe Govern

dition she could never be able 70 redeem her
self, and the fact Of her being so unfortunately
situated ruins trade and commerce. prevents

slERIFFS SALES.

g--7 At the commencement Of our paper, we
suggested the propriety Of repeating the law
relative to publishing Sherif's Sales in the
newspapers ofthe different counties. We then
stated, and we believe, proved it TO be 10 the ad-
vantage of both buyer and seller, 10 have them
advertised. We have seen nothing since TO
change that opinion, and we hope the member
from this county, will, should an amendment to
the Bill be introduced, vote forit We like the
law in Georgia, where the Sheriff of every
county, is compelled to advertise in the nearest
paper in the District and The Primers fee is
fixed by law. This will secure the owners of
property from fraud, and prevent the printers

Eve is represented as having been per-

THE ELECTIONS.

There now appears to be very little doubt
that the late elections have terminated in favor
OF the Democratic Party. Several causes may
be assigned for this result The principal one
we believe 10 be divisions in the Whig ranks

gether long enough 10 elect Gen. Harrison
They acted incorrectly in reference to PreSi
