The first of January Che customary day
FOR general seltement is now near at hand,
and we would earnestly request all those
who are indebted TO us TO come forward and
settle, as il is absolutely necessary that we
should have money to pay what we owe,
and is impossible for US to pay unless we are
paid. Since the lst Of July, 1912, we have
booked upwards Of $4,000 and on our
books previous to that time there are ups
wards Of S32 900, and yet, with this great
amount upon our books, it is almost impos-
sible for us to collect sufficient money to
purchase the necessaries Of life. Now, IT
those who are indebted to US (and their bills
are generally small) would come forward, as
men. who consider ''lhe laborer worthy OF
his hire" should do and settle mp, how easl-
ly could we square up our liabilities and
also procure something for our "stomachs
sake" The fact is, we owe money and IT
must he paid, and if those who are indebt>
ed TO US DO not "fork over" by the first of
January, we will be compelled TO place our
accounts in the hands Of an officer for col
lection. Those persons who have not the
money to spare, can pay US in cows, hogs,
corn, potatoes, turkcs, geese, chickens, but
Ter, eggs; or any thing they may have to
spare, as we wish to make the payment as

WHAT HAS BEEN SETTLEDl-Surely the
late Presidential election settled something,
besides the mere putting into Office Of Polk
and Dallas.-What then did it settle?
First-We presume-"The Immediate
annexation of Texas" -per fds Gut nefGs.
[See IngersOll's letter.
Second-The immediate occupation of
Oregon. Mr.. McDufie's unanswerable
views to the contrary Notwithstanding.
Thrd-the immediate repeal Of the Tariff
of Is42-an abandonment of the principle
Of protection for American mechanics and
manufactures-and the dGVn, at least, of a
Free Trade season.
Fourth--The establishment of the Sub
Treasury system, and an entire abandon>
ment of the use or agency Of all banking
institutions by the government.
These, all recognized and approved of by
Mr.. Polk, we should think, would form the
cardinal points of Mr.. Folks administration
and would be followed up and followed out
by the locofoco party in Congress, and
throughout the country. Now, we shall see
what we shall see Look out for the next
four years Wings, and Judge if the locofocos
will unite in support of locofoco principles.

In lecture on the Geology of the United
States, recently delivered in England by the
celebrated Mr.. Lyell, he stated that the coal
fields extends for len ght of seven hundred
miles, and thst that Of Illinois is larger than
the whole of England. The coal is formed
IN workable beds Of considerable thickness :
and in OneEinstance there is bed of coal for.
ty feet thick-which comes up to the surface
and is quarried like stone. Another branch
ofMr Lyell's lecture was the consideration
of the recession of the Falls of Niagaria.-
He exhibited large pictorial scene repre-
senting the bed of the Niagara river. The
raVine formed by the gradual wearing away
OF the rocks by the waters of the Falls ex-
tends for seven miles, and there is no doubt
that at one period the Niagara river fell oveI
the cliffs at Queenstown three hundred ieet
high. The present height Of the falls is nc
feet, and the rate Of recession is about one
foot year.

THE TaUE SPIRIT. An Irishman on being
questioned respecting his opposition to Polk
and Dallas replied-'slf were in England,
I should vote for Polk and Dallas, but as am
in America, j shall vote for Clay and Freling-
huysen!'
The Irishman condensed in that brie sen.
tence the entire spirit aud substance of the
controversy just decided or pretended TO be
decided at the polls, and reams Of paper de.
voted TO labored argument, could not make
the question clearer, or in fact adduce any
thing that is not virtually embraced in that
pithy reply. Those who voted the Polk tick
ct, really voted for the english interest. and
if they acted as Englishmen, and had solely
in view the prosperity and welfare Of the
monopOlizing manufacturers and capitalists
Of Great Britain, they did very right, and were
acting consistently, but in claiming to be A.
mericans, and protesting to Rave the interest:
OF their own country at heart, they were
either very stupid and obtuse fools, or un
commonly gross knaves.-C Our and Eng.

GROWTH OF LoNDON.-We are apt to inn
agine here in the United States that the
growth oc our towns and cities greatly sur
pass in rapidity and extent those ofany part
Of the old world. Some facts about London
would seem TO contradict this notion. Il is
stated, for instance, in recent report to the
Government, that sin little more than twelve
years, twelve hundred new streets have been
added to London, which is al the rate Of 100
streets year. These 1900 new streets
'cOntain $4,000 houses, most of them built
on large and conmodious scale, and in a
style Of superior comfort" With all thi:
wonderful increase, it is said, "that the de-
mand for houses instead Diminishing con.
tinues to Increase and that while 10 many
towns in tie interior, the number Of unoccu-
pied houses is augmenting, scarcely is a ne "
street in London finished, before almost eve
Fry house in it is fully occupied" One great
reason assigned for the rapid growth of Lon.
don, is the extraordinary facility, economy
and dispatch with which people are now
transported over railroads terminating there
Owing to this cause, cit is estimated that
the daily influx of individuals is Eve times
greater than il was fifteen years ago." Lon
don is now about forty miles in circumfer-
ence. and numbers more than two millions
Of inhabitants.-N. Y. American.

YuzOO City, Dec. 10, 1874.
OF The Washington correspondent Of the
Charleston Courier writes, on the 2lst ult. !:
find, as | suggested the other day, that
there is to be a strong and determined oppO-
sition, in the democratic ranks, to Mr.. Cal
houn's participation in the cabinet councils,
under Mr.. Polk. Mr.. Polk will, Of course,
Judge for himself Of the propriety Of inViting
Mr.. Calhoun to remain in the State Depart
ment, but il is evident that the interests and
ulteror views Of MIR. Benton and of MIR.
Wright and others, will not be promoted by
such an arrangement. 1t may be well doubt
ed, too, whether Mr.. Calhoun will deem it
polite or find it agreeable to retain the post.
New York waived her claim upon the
Presidency, at the Baltimore Convention, on.
" for a season, and from the necessity of en-.
ering into such a compromise as would se~
cure success TO the party, in its then almost
desperate struggle TO regain power. 1t is
conceded, too, that, without the vote of the
State Of New York, Mr.. Polk would not have
been elected; and the vote of New York
would not have been cast for Mr.. Polk, had
not Slas Wright thrown himself into the
breach, and consented, against his wish, to
become the candidate for Governor. There
is no doubt that it was the popularity Of Mr.
Wright which secured success to the demo.
cratic ticket in New York. The old Van
Buren, organization stands as firm as ever, and
all its power and influence are to be exerted
in favor Of Mr.. Wright as the successor Of Mr.
| Polk.
