about becoming settlers in that Territory,
the parties most interested in the question
at issue, apparently entertain no doubts up
on the subject. They are moving in that
direction by hundreds. We have heard no
complaints Of residents being disturbed in
possession, or that they have been inter
rnpted in their pursuit of happiness, Until
hey complain, in our opinion, the less that
is said upon the subject of war the better.
Should it ever become necessary for us, as
a people, to go to war, (Which Heaven averl,)
let us be prepared to act. In the meantime,
we had better reserve our wind.

THE Coal TRADE.-We feel happy in
being able to announce to our readers this
week, says the Miners Journal, (Pottsville)
that the shipments Of coal from the S,huyl-
kill region this year now exceed ONE MIL
LION TONS and, should the present mild
weather continue a little longer, we believe
the quantity for the whole year will reach
100000 tons. Untrammelled individual
enterprise is the great secret which has
caused this region to outstrip SO far all its
competitors, some Of which commenced be-
fore us. The shipments this week are, by
railroad 22,704 OIL, by canal $3.50 05; to-
tai for the week l,543 O6, showing an in
crease over last week Of about 1000 tons by
railroad, and about 300 by canal, which is
caused by the musal state Of the weather.
The demand for coal continues very brisk,
and prices firm, with an'upward tendency in
the different markets. We still adhere to
the opinion that, with the quantity the rail-
road can supply during the winter months,
added to thatin the market, there will be a
sufliciency for all purposes.

PREPARATION
FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF
RATS, COCKROACHES, &C.

This preparation has now been in use in
Germany about three years; and by every
one who has given it fair trial been pro-
nounced the best remedy they have ever used
or the determination Of Rats, Mice, and
Cockroaches.
The articles composing this composition
are, III themselves, very innocent and contain
not particle OF poison; but when combined
create gas which explodes the stomach and
consequently destroys life in few hours,
As soon as it has affected the stomach, the
articles become neutralized and will affect
nothing thereafter, so that there can be no
danger in It's use under any circumstances.
Directions for using.
s. FOR RATS. Spread thin slice of
bread with this preparation as thick as apple
butter, pour some dissolved butter over it,
then strew over the whole little sugar. and
cut It into number Of small pieces, and put
It where they are known to frequent: re-
peat IL for two or three nights in succession,
when they will entirely disappear
FOR COCKROACfIES.-Soread q slice
Of bread in the same way as above, and sprjn-
kle lithe flour over it--put it on the floor
in the evening, repeating several times.
FOR BEDBUGS-I'ake teaspoon full
OF THIS preparation, and a teaspoon full Of
Stacked lime. Mix it, and rub it on those
places infested by bugs.

ance societies in any Of the British regi-

mankind 10 butcher each other, the policy
is certainly expedient His Grace 1t would
appear has altered his mind since he re-
sumed the command of the army, as upon
application being made to him for his opin-
ion, by the General commanding in Nova
Scotia in 1855, he stated expressly that
were he at the head Of the Horse Guards.
he would recommend the formation Of a
Temperance Society i'll every regiment in

composing this corps have, in times past,

far as the "Columbian Fountain is con-
cerned, the courtesy due to us with a
few honorable exceptions) as laborcrs in
the great Temperance cause, which (more
than any political measure which has been
brought before the American people since
the termination of hostilitics with foreign
powers) has for its object the interests Of
the whole people-and as members Of that
corps-thc courtesy, we say. due to us as
such, and to themselves as gentlemen, has
moi been extended to us. We have sent our
paper to editors in New York and few
other places, requesting All exchange, Offer
ing to ray the difference in price, where
any existed. Having done thus much, we

ask--to say nothing Of the complimentary

W We rejoice to know, from the num-
Der Of subscribers already enrolled to whom
this paper is sent, that the citizens Of the
District feel interested in such sheet. The
list may be still increased, and in the place
Of 1000, 5000 copies may be circulated, we
believe, in this District alone, with advan-
tage to every portion of the community.
This is to be done by individual effort null

the objects contemplated may soon be re-.
allied, a consummation which will certainly
be cheering to all the lovers Of morality.

when we consider how comparatively inn
perfect our paper has been, to what we are
confident it will be when all our contribn-
