The above extract is from prize essay written by
Horace Greedy, on '' advertising and its benefits to
business men,, and is true to the letter. There are
many men in our city, in business, who are full Of
enterprise and desire do large business, vet they

Every business man, therefore, stands in his own
light who refuses to advertise in paper because it
does not teach his creed. There ars many merchants
in our city, who opposed to Us in politics, who

are liberal minded men, and deserve prosperity. They

from his master in North Carolina. On inqniring of

room of Saliot & Rivo Approaching him Hall ask

name of Hippolite Lieutand, immediately raised a

to substantiate his averment. Here the crowd inter-

while, and Hall was retained, under complaint for
kidnapping, under the late act of the Legislature.

VALUE OF NEWSPAPERS. A thousand times, says
the Maccesfeld Courier, have we heard this ques-
ton and answer: Two gentlemen meet" WHAT'S
the news o. says one. 'Nothing but what you see
in the papers," They pass on about their business.
Has it ever been noticed that among the thousand
benefits of newspaper, not the least is, that it does
away at with title tatte, gossip, street yarn,
foolish exaggeratons, scandal, and newsmong ering,
which once took up SO much Of the time Of those
who always bearing or telling some new thing.
One real evil Of social life is thus ended. The
rises in the morning. looks the paper, and is
satisfied that he knows all worth knowing of the
passing history Of the world. He has nothing to
tell and nothing to hear farther. He does not spend
his time in giving information which his neighbol
knows as we'll as himself. He is not annoyed in the
midst Of his business pleasures by the recital
| affairs in which he takes no interest. The same
with woman. Curiosity is grat6ed without the loss
of time. The scandal Of the day has not employed
hundred busy, meddling tongues in its circaatior
| and exaggerations. Conversation takes highe
tone. Principles of morals and taste are discussed
the new poem, the last book. the magazine, or III,
review, becomes the subject Of conversation. Ever
in the minor matters of life, society owes large deb
to the newspaper.

Now Mr.. Crs bsiick YOU here show vour

bers oil that convention am satisfied, we're
opposed 10 The scheme of levying, and for
that reason would have opposed the nomi-

many others, in which they believe Col.

= Why is it that this wiseacre, when he
speaks Of the influence Of the main central
clique at Jackson, does not say that in the
election, or in the attempt at the election
OF State officers, his own party are govern.
ed by orders from Jackson. That there is
a main central whig clique in conclave
there, who issue their fiat, to be obeyed
by their minons in the election of Cover
nor and other officers of State. He does
MT do this, but endeavors to induce the
belief that none but democrats have ever
held conventions in Jackson, when he
knows It has been the practice of the wing
party to d. 50. Crabslck must be igno-
rant OF the history of the whg party in
this county, or he would not withhold the
TACT, that when hat party was in the as
cendant here, they were in the habit Of
holding conventions TO nominate candi
dates for the legislature. The first conven-
lion | ever saw in the town of Oxford,
was convention of wings, assembled for
The purpose Of nominating their.candidates.
And yet this Crabstick has such conf
lerce in his ingenuity and ability, and
hat the people are so dull and
stupid, that he can induce them to believe !
hat the convention system is dangerous
ind sinful, that the deliberations Of the
asst democratic convention resulted in dis

PLANK RoADs PRoFITABLE-The 81,
Louis New Era throws some hi
upon the profits Of plank roads.igIt
says that the experiment has been
tried in several parts Of the State OF
New York, with following results:
The Waierville and Uica road
nineteen miles long, and costing s34,
900, has just declared dividend often
per cent, payable to stockholders on
demand, and ten per cent. laid by for
repairs.
Utica and Bndgewater road, twenty
miles long, and costing $4,000, paws
twenty-five per cent. regularly. The
Boonville road pays twenty-five ne,
cent. The Forea and Johnson road
four miles long, costing $1,000
pays regularly fifty per cent.
The proprietor Of the line Of stages
on this road informed me that the re.
suit Of bis experience in staging on
plank roads was, that a team of bor.
ses would perform nine miles an hour
including stops, or ten miles travelling
time, with the same ease to themsel.
YES that they perform six miles on
a good summer road. He further
stated that in bis opinion there vas
no description Of road on which a
horse travelled with as much ease 70
himself as on plank roads, adding that
there was a slight elasticity, which
was highly favorable to the motio1
and ease Of the horse.

The Faculties, for intellectual abilities,

tinguished in our country. The medical

elegib lity Of our situation for an enterprise
OF the kind. As t. health including all

A common error exists in the minds Of
many Students relative TO The place OF stud.

at a schoOl whose faculty are pracncally

IT WoNT d. The proposition
that the democratic lawyers who may
be in attendance on the Federal Court
at Jackson, shall select a candidate
for Secretary Of State, is equivalent
to a proposition that the selection he
made by the democratic lawyers res.
ident in Jackson. We hazard the
assertion that not more than half a
dozen lawyers living out Of Kinds
county will attend that court; and
out Of that number, it is ten chances

them being wings. Let an impartial
enquiry be instituted into the claims,
