| ADyERTIsING--A WORD TO THE WISE. The Boston Chronotype of late date says: "ln conversation yesterday with gentleman of our acquaintance, he assu- red us that it was his firm belief that ad- vertising in the daily papers prevented his utter failure in business. He stated that some months agoibe was very much pressed for funds U meet his payments, and what was worse, his business, instead of inn proving, was rather retrogradng, so that his prospects for the future were anything but fattering. He had never advertised his place at all, and by way of experiment, and as a last resort, determined to appro- plate certain amount for that purpose, and consequently commenced advertising in the most extensively circulated dailics in tbe city, and our own among the rest. To his great surprise he soon found that new customers appeared daily, and in a very short time he was able to make his payments promptly, and his business has continued to increase rapidly ever since.
 The Pittsburg Gazette copies the fore going, and ramarks : Remember this---I the man whose business has fair pr,- portion of capital at its foundation, who never engages in uncertain speculations, and who advetises judiciously and freely, neUer fails The want of these requis- tics will endanger this situation, but the want of advertising is the greatest want of the three. A judicious man. with little or no capital, by free use of advertising may prosper and create capital, while the man with capital, who neglects adverti- sing, will find his business gradually de- clining and his capital diminishing year by yeaF.S These statements arc verified hy the experience of thousands. Fifty dol lars year spent in advertising, is of more value to business man than three thou- sand dollars additional capital"
 EXTENSIVE PoIsoNING.- excitement has prevailed in this community for sev- real days, says the South Ala, in Green .ville, Butler county, in consequence of large number of persons having. as was supposed, been poisoned at a we lding party some eight or ten miles above here,- There were some hundred and fifty persons who were at the wedding taken sick with in one or two days afterwards, as we learn, with such symptoms as renders, it evident to the physicians here that they have been poisoned.

A CANDID OPINION.

The following, (says the Petersburg In.
leligencer) from the pen of the editor OF
the Union" in May 1916, before Gen.
Taylor was thought Of for the Presidency.
will show the real opinion of Father Richie,
and how little reliance is TO be placed upon
efforts from the same quarter TO disparage
the Old Hero:
"7he Pen worthy Of The Srord Moth
ing can be more happy, appropriate, mod.
est, yet dignifed, than the dispatches from
General Taylor. They are worthy of the
man and of the occasion which has called
them forth. We thoroughly agree with
the compliment that the New Orleans
Courier pays to the General order of Gen.
Taylor giving thanks to his troops for their
bravery and good conduct
The American reader will remark with
PRIDE and pleasure the striking contrast it
EXHIBITS to the tedious, extravagant, vainglo.

regard the question of revenue, as only
important, because il affords prospect of
securing regularity, and a greater degree of
stability in the settlements. If plan can be
devised by which these objects would in all
reasonable probability, be as well affected
as they can be by the exaction Of pecu-
mary consideration from the settlers, the

with me, be no objection to the measure
From report of the Committee on Public
Lands, which has lately been forwarded to
me, it appears that the sales of the pubic
lands have been pledged to the public cred
tors for one of the loans of the last year.
If this is so, Congress will, without doubt,
if any plan for the free gift Of any portion
of the public lands to actual settlers, should
hereafter find favor in their eyes, see that
the objection arising from this cause, be. in
some proper way, obvialed. Come what
may, the good faith of the nation must al

My opinion in regard to protective duties
and the best source of revenue, were very

on that occasion, gave my reasons for the re-.
gardDg the system of taxation in force in
the States, viz: direct tax upon an assessed
property, as more equal and equitable than
a system Of duties on imports. gave also
my reasons for believing that duties on i'm.
ports would for long time continue TO be
used as the mode by which the Federal
Government would collect its revenues, in
preference to a resort to direct taxa,ion.-
Although the latter policy is believe. stead

has not yet been sufficient TO authorize as
to expect its early adoption.
