ing business, and to commence with the above
date TO sell goods for cash or to punctual GUS
toners on siE months time--and in selling to
such at six months, we charge Tie same pri>
ces as if the cash we've paid down. At the
time of purchasing, persons buying goods on
SIX months time and at cash prices, must be
punctual in paying, or we charge cur usual
profits. We deem this method of doing bust
ness necessary, owing to the exigencies of the
times, and have 10 doubt it will meet the
views of all those who expect to pay for
goods-and in adopting this method of doing
business, re are determined not IL be ttndersoH
Persons wishing to purchase goods, will please
call and test the fact. Our stock of goods is
large and selected with great care, ond worthy
the attention of those who are in search of
good and cheap goods. We tender our SIN
sere thanks for past encouragement, and hope
by disposition TO please and give good bar
gains, to merit continuance oc the same.

counts with US, will please call as soon as pos.

make long friends, and we need cash too very
much, and would be glad if our friends would

TRACT or LAND
TO THE PUBLIC.

DAINFUL and delicate as is the task of oh.
truding private griefs upon the. public
ear. cases do sometimes occur, for which this
is the only mode and measure Of redress. Such
regard as cmphatlcally my own case. How
ever strong the consultations derived from Il
consciousness of my innocence, decent re-
spect for the opinions Of society, imperiously
demands public refutation Of the charges
which noted Pedagogue by the name of Jo-
sephus Drummond has preferred against me
through the columns of public journal.
What agency the said Drummond has had
in alternating the affections ola ,cife from her
husband, is not my province to deter mine
The only soi!citude l ieet is to establish nv
own innocence, and to disclaim being the
cause, either proximate or remote Of this Ia
mentable separation. Sinister influences
have doubtless been exerted, and with too
much success, TO destFoy our mutual peace
and happiness and to entail reproach upon
our family. But to believe that the Grudite
Josephus Dru mmond possessed either the
gems or the address to cOnsummate so nefari>
Gus plot, would be complimeating his in
telgence far beyond its deserts,and awarding
to him an Importance he has never attained
and is doomed by nature never TO acquire
No: regard him as the simple tool-the
mere cats paw Of others, who. tainted with
malignity of the conspirator and We, cursed the
with all the despicable meanness Of the colU-
ard, have made him the pitiable scapegoat Of
their sins.
The tissue Of falsehood so pedantically ar.
rayed by this learned Theban, requires moth.
ing more at my hands than general, catego.
rical denial Truth is so-small an ingredient
of his nauseous compound, that to find i ould
be the arduous task of searching for TWO gains
of wheat in bushel of chaff-whch when
found would poorly repay your labor.
With what fidelity have observed my mat
rimonal vows-in what manner | have dis.
charged the various duties of lft-and 10
what extent I am justly liable 10 or exempt
from public censure in this behalf let the
public determine from the evidence before
them. To their decision am willing TO bow
with all due submission.

We the undersigned, citizens OF the count.
of Shenandoah, do hereby certify that we are
the neighbors and scquaintances Of Jacob ].
Funkhouser, of the same county; that We
have known him for a number of wears, and
take great pleasure in attesting TO his correct
and honorable department in all the various
relations ola man, a friend, neighbcr, hus-
band and parent. We deeply regret the
separation that has TRANSFERRED between him
and his wife, and believe il to be the result Of
bad counsel and sinister influence, in all Of
which we sincerely believe that J. J. Funk.
houser has had no agency.
That the cruel and unkind conduct Of 7 7
Funkhouser has been the cause, either prox-
innate or remote, Of his wife's departure from
him, we can never believe, unless so serious
charge is sustained by other and better tesf-.
mony than the vile ISLANDERS of Josephus
Drummond and his no less vile aiders and s.
bettors. AS friends Of truth and peace. ne
advise Mr.. Furkhouser to disregard the scur-.
rlous publications OF the said Drunmond. a.
they exhibit viciousness equaIled onlv h.,

THE LEGISLATURE.---Ihere
has been little to excite interest
in the proceedings of our state
legislature, since our last news
was given. The time of that
body has been principally occu-
pied with the offering, adopting
and referring resolutions, the
presentation of petitions, memo
rails, &c. The greater portion
Of the bills passed were of a
private character.

CoNGREss.-Commenclng on
the first page, will be found the
severe but just structures of the
Washington Globe upon the
movements Of Mr.. Adams. It
seems that it is the determine
ton of this gentleman to keep
the House of Representatives
IN a perpetual broil, upon the
subject of presenting abolition
and other petitions Of a kindred
nature. He claims it as RIGHT
belonging to fanatics, malcon-
tents and fools, to demand ac-
ton on the part of congress,
upon their absurd and mischie-
vous petitions. He is prepared
to act as the tool of the enemies
to order, IN defending what he
terms the sacred right of peti-
ton" In his opinion, it is per-
lectly consistent with the inal-
lenable RIGHTS of freemen, and
an enlightened and patriotic re-
gard for the prosperity and hap
plness of our common country,
to ask congress to adopt meas
sures, which, if carried into eff
feet, would destroy our institu-
tutions, divide our people, and
bring upon us the reproach and
contempt of the world. We
deny that any man, or any set
Of men have any RIGHT to mar

ul temple Of LIBERTY, upon

Among these resolutions wasthe following:
s. Resolved. That we consider the Public
Lands Of the United States, as the common
property Of all the States, and that we there
fore condemn the late act Of Congress, allow
ing settlers on the public lands the right Of
re-emption at the minimum price, as an ac:
of gross injustice to the old States who origi-
pally ceded them, or who contributed to a
common fund for this purchase
Our Senators in Congress at that time,
Drown and Strangely we're accordingly in
formed by Messrs Graham & Co., that they
would represent the wishes of majority Of
the people Of this State, b. voting to carry out
the foregoing resolution. Now

Mr. Graham succeeded in driving Mess,s
Brown and Strange from their seats in the
Senate, where they did NOT vote for pre-cmp-
tons. He succeeded in getting himself elect
ed to one of the vacant places, and as Sem
ator in Congress from North Carolina, he vot-
ed for the Distribution Act, which enacted,
"Chet from aud after the passage Of said

Of" Hail Columbia" for the residence of Col
c., in the upper part Of the city.
On arriving at the house, the crowd halted.
