ADvERTIsINe.-We would call the
attention of merchants, and others, to
the following article on the advantages of
advertising:
"As for Advertising, in the a5stract,any
merchant who has tried it would as soon
think of taking down his sign, or closing
one of bis windows, as stopping his adj.
vertisements. Il is beyond comparison
the surest, cheapest and readiest way Of
introducing yourself TO the public. The
merchant who adyertises freely, hangs up
his sign in every mans parlor; his name
is constantly before the community, and
they unconsciously get familiar with it,
and resort to him as matter Of course.

DEATH OF A U. 8. SENAToR.-Hon.
Jesse Speight, Senator of the United

0TWe give below an extract from the
proclamation of Canales, which was is.
sued TO the population OF the district of
country bordering on the Rio Grande.
This order il carried into effect, will
doubtless leadto acts of the most atrocious
barbarity. Canales is fit subject for
a guerilla system Of warfare, as the Zero.
cious terms in which bis proclamation is
couched shows. The instructions given
are to the Adjutant Inspector of the Ma.
tional Guards.
"You will Immediately declare martial
law, with the understanding that eight
days after the publication Of the same,
every individual who has not taken up
arms (being capable Of So doing shall be
considered a traitor, an3 instantly shot.
Martial law being in force, you are
bound to give no quarters to anyAmerican
whom you may meet, or who may present
himself to you even though he may be
without arms. You are also directed to
publish this. in all the towns in this State,
forcibly impressing them with the severe
punishment that shall be inflicted for the
least omission of this order.''

yet whether such a course would be pru-
dent, or whether such are his intentions
or not, is more than any one can say who
IS not thoroughly into his secrets.

0FGeneral Scott, Immediately on
hearing that guerrilla system of war
fare had been recommended by the Mex.
leans, issued a proclamation to the effect
that he would destroy every Mexican
town in the vicinity where any depreda-
tons should be committed upon our
soldiery. This we think will be apt 20
prevent the town authorities from taking
any part in this kind of warfare.

A SUBLIME sPEcrAcLn.

The Government organ pours out peal after
peal OF gloriication over the late battles. Pill
low is the very Achilles of the fight, but we
question whether old Homer, in any of those
glowing numbers which embalm the fame of
ancient heroes, ever rose 10 such pitch of
poetic grandeur and beauty as the Union,
when, after remarking .'What glorious a r
chievements What traits of courtesy and
chivalry!" ii let out its whole soul in the en-
rapturing exclamation
"See PilIo,c, marching through fields Of con, ~
Magnificent spectaclel Truly, .'nothing
can be finer" Napoleon, crossing the Alps,
was humbug in comparison with Major
General Gideon J. Pillow, marching through
field oil corn"
Let no profane idea arise in the envious
mind that when Pillow was in corn field,
Pillow was at home. In these days il is not
study, it is not experience, il is not science
that makes the warrior. Our political Jupiter
at Washington has but to nod his head, and
forthwith some deity, if not of wisdom, at least
OF valor, drops, full armed, TO the earth. Such
is Pillow, who, by breath of Folks nosirils,
has been transformed from plodding civilian
into another Caesar.
Heneeforth, let the war cry OF our armies
be, "rhe sword of the Lord and Gideon"
aud if every man blows his trumpet as loud as
the commander blows his own, the hosts of
Mldlon must fall into our hands.-Rich. Rep

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.

A few days since, IN this city, an elegantly
dressed young lady got into one of the York
vile omnlbusses in the Bowery and went out
to Carriers Hotel. She was shown into a
back parlor, where she remained long time
without calling for anything or speaking to
anybody, when at last Mr.. Garter being sus.
picious that there was something wrong, went
in and told her that if she wished TO remain in
his house all night he could accommodate her
with a private room. She replied. that she
would not remain there long 10 trouble him or
any body else, as she should very soon die
MIR. Garter then called in his wife, who soon
discovered that the young lady had swallow
ed large quantity OF laudanum an ounce
and half vial was found under the table emp
ty. An officer Of the police and physician
were Immediately sent for, and by means Of
stomach pump her life was saved She has
since refused to disclose her name or give any
clue by which her home may be known, or
her motive for attempting to destroy her life

THE DRUNKARD's HOME.
BY JAMES sTILLaAN.

BY JAMES sTILLMAg.
The drunkard's home What words can show
The scenes of misery there,
What mind conceive, what heart can know,
Save those compelled TO share;
TIL abode of wretchedness complete,
Whence every comforts fled,
Where want, disease and ruin meet,
And every hope is dead
The drunkards home, more cherries far
Than even conyict's cell,
With granite wall and iron bar,
For guilty ones to dwell
o, better far the vaults of death,
For there all sufferngs cease,
And care-worn pilgrims yield their breath,
And sleep the sleep of peace.
The drunkards home that barren waste,
That desert of the soul,
With one green oasis graced,
Where streams of comfort roll
Stricken as by the Simoon's blast,
All bliss is PROSTATE laid,
And pity, weeping, stands aghast
10 see the rum made.
The drunkard's home the rock-girt strand
Where honor shipwreeked lies,
The den where murder dies his hand
Where Virtue, poisoned, dies
Where Vice spreads round its filthy slime,
Where falsehood forms her lair,
The haunt of Infamy and Crime,
OF Madness and Despair.
The drunkard's home ye generous youth,
Yet from intemperancc free,
Attend the warning voice of truth,
And from the poison flee
Touch not the cup of liquid fire,
Beware of habits chain,
Quench the first spark of wild desire,
And spurn the damning bane.
