TINHOSE knowing themselves indebted to the To-
tca Capital Reporter, for subscription or adver-
tisements, are respectfully reminded that the small
amounts sevearly due from them are highly neces-
sary in order to enable the undersigned to embark
in some new business for livelihood. They are
therefore earnestly requested to be prepared tor the
coming of Mr.. GEO. w. GALLOWAY, our travelling
agent, and to settle with him in the true spirit oil
equity and amity.
The subscribers to the Reporter are so widely
scattered throughout this State, that it will take
long time for Mr.. Galloway to make the tour to all
of them, but he will call each in turn as as
possible during the ensuing season. In the mean
time, payment may be made, by remissions by mail
otherwise, to in person at this this city, or in
case Of my absence, to either of successors, GAR
RET ID. PALMER or GEO. PAUL, who are also auth
orized to receipt for dues ia my name.
Those who not prepared at the time to pay
the full amounts Of their dues, will be expected to
settle by note; though the advance price, $500 a
year in hand, will be much more acceptable than
notes of hand at the highest rate for deferred pay
ments, on persons in different and remote parts of
the State. AS misunderstanding may arise in some
cases, which would be readily reconciled could at
tend to the matter in person. my agent has inSruC-
tons to deal on the most liberal and amiCabe terms
with all who sincerely DESTROYS of settling up.
Being determined that no just cause of COM
plant shall exist my part, and hoping to meet
with reciprocal feeling and disposition in those
indebted TO me, the same liberal principle by which
my dealings with subscribers has thus far been reg
uated, will be observed in the final settlement Of
accounts. They need hardly be reminded of the
importance of the small items due from each. which

WAY.

Norway and Sweden, lately governed
by Bernadotte, "a French marshal Of Ma
poleon's and his son-in-law, is King at the
present time, and he is one of the most in
teresting and intelligent monarchs in Eu-
rope. The appearance Of the inhabitants
is very like the Scotch stubborn, flight
complexion, light eyes, sharp faces, high
cheek bones, They are not accomplished,
but they are intelligent; and this leads us
to speak of their education. Denmark has
a good system Of education, and Sweden
has got system which will be introduced
into Norway in very short time. They
have teacher appointed who goes round
from place to place and teaches the chill
dren-the houses are SO far distant from
each other, it would do no otherwise. A
great many, from this cause, have never
been at school. They will not be received
into the communion of the church, unless
they can read, and there is a law in Swe-
den, that no person can be taken as wit
ness unless he has been at the commun-
ion table within year. There is no other
religion tolerated. If man becomes
Roman Catholic in Sweden, he can be put
in prison, or banished; and in Denmark
no Jesuit is allowed to enter. A Jew
agreed to supply the government Of Den
mark with sum Of money. He went
with it himself; but they sent agents to
receive the money, and would not permit
him to land. This in the nineteenth CEN

Whose woes and curses

And weeps forever its bloody tear.
Her brave men dying,
Her maidens signing,
Her orphans crying,

While foes insulting,

O, Power supernal,
Whose heart eternal
Inclines from Heay'n when the ravens cry;
Whose arm protects US,

Behold nation

In duplication,

In the name Of Jesus,

From cruel tyrants, o set US free.

Would ye not call on the world to hear9

At freedoms altar,
When axe and halter

Or cast behind you
The chains that bind you,
And swear BY Heaven that ye would be free?

Arise arise from your bloody dust!

Let green and orange in union trustl
With hands upraising,
With cannons blazing,

For Liberty
Once more in grandeur,
Through death and danger,
Our glorious Island Wen arise and free!
