j. in operation, and the indications are that not
10000 persons IN the whole Union viii take ad-
vantage Of H. By far the greater number Of debts
have been settled by mutual agreement. Those
persons who are heavily ia debt, and arc possessed
OF property which they 90 not intend 10 give up,
have been very busy OF late max ng offers for their
own paper, which has been dshouored for years
without attracting their notice. They come Tor

for full discharge, IN preference 10 running the
risk OF detection IN taking advantage Of the law
Creditors under the superstition that, II they do not
accept the offers made, they viii get nothing 10y

honestly he is right and he therefore does fear

when he had concluded, the defendant was about to

We lately noticed sale Of wines at auction in
New ork, the stock of dealer IN that article of
wisdom and truth, at which some lots were sold for
one hundred aud seventeen dollars for a dozen bot
ties and others for various prices, down TO eighteen
dollars for dozen. Many dozens were sold Tor n
hundred dollars, seventy dollars, sixty dollars
and various other moderate prices. One hundred
and dollars for dozen is at the rate OF
nine dollars and three quarters for bottle and at
the rate of five bottles gallon, this price gives
forty eight dollars and seventy five cents to gallon.
Amid the general wreck before mentioned, 1t is
cheering 20 behold such proofs of prosperity still re-
naming among a few. All Is not lost, when even
few able to give nearly ten dollars for bottle
of wine and 1t is not the less gratifying find an
eminent pipe-layer' among these liberal purchas-
crs. Such men have eXerted their utmost efforts
TO their country from ruin, and therefore ought,
IN Justice TO be among the remnant that saved,
and to be still allowed the ability to purchase the
means OF consolation amid the general rum. How
consoatory must 1t be to 'pipeayer' 10 be able
to drink the reward of his patriotic Efforts, IN WINE
