In commencing the 2lst volume of the

ty, to those great principles of Nation
al Policy, which it is our endeavor to
elucidate. We have entered into ex.
tensive arrangements for a great vari-
ETY. of novel and interesting matter, that
will add to the attraction and value OF
the New Volume.

sive publication, the souvenirs of the
life of Gen. Court M%ontholon," begin
ming with his first campaign under
gen. Dumourier, at the commencement
of the French revolution of 1889, and
closing with his late Imprisonment with
Prince Louis Napoleon, at Ham. 1t
will comprise the most extraordinary
revolutions ofthe wonderful epoch he
has lived and acted in, that has ever
been given to the public, disclosing sim
gular traits o the private life, intrigues
political and amatory, secret negotia-
tons, &C., of all the Sovreigns, Chief
Ministers and Marshals, who moved
with all the vividness and variety of a
brilliant panorama, around the great
central luminary, Napoleon.
SEcoNDLy--Wear are in treaty for a re-
markable work on England, to be pub
llshed exclusively in the Democratic
Review. This may be counted on as
forthcoming.
FouRTH-We have contracted with
foreign writers ofgreat ability, and en-.
Joylpg exclusive opportunities, for oU>
c%aslonal Reviews of the politics and IL
terature of Europe.
AND LAsT--We shall give from time

Democrats--men whose patriotism and
steadiness of principle have won the
confidence of the people.
We have to remind our readers that
the low terms on which we furnish the
Review, can be maintained only by the
subscription in advance, and that the
expenditure incurred to improve the
work, a be met only by the prompt
remittance of subscriptions.
The publication of the Review has
eebn committed to the charge of Mrt
John W. Moore, who has been connec.
ted for the last eight years, with the

some very remarkable cures Of consump-

Il is ono of the most remarkable medicines
of the age, for Coughs, Colds, Influenza,

This article is now universally acknowl.
edged to be the most healing and efficient

parts of the human body. It's medicinal
and preservative qualities were understood
by the Egyptians in the early ages Of the
world, and no doubt now exists among sci

embalmment of bodies, was composed prin.
cipally Of this ingredient. In later ages, il
was found TO be in universal use among the
aborigines OF America, and at this day it il
their principal, and, in fact, only medicine
for an unsound state Of the lungs, or any
approach TO it. Those who are acquainted
with the history of this hardy race of men,

The RAIL ROAD.-On monday last, Col. Full
tonagain addressed n large crowd Of four citizens
on the rail road. We shall not pretend to 70
caPitulate any portion ofhis argument, as we
SAD not hear the whole Of it. There is one
matter connscted withlthis rail road discussion
toat we have not yet heard publicly alluded To-
either BY speakersl or BY writers for the pa.
pers. 1t is this. From calculation it is believ,
ed that Madison County pays something ike ten
thousand dollars per year for River Insurance,
Well If the Road is built, to jackson, and
thence extended to New Orleans, as proposed
almost the entire amount of the River In
snrance is saved. There would be no neces
sity for Insurance on the Rail Road, their La
bility as common carriers being sufficient
SO allowing that a portion Of the Madison croF
would still take the river route, more than sN
thousand dollars a year would be saved thu
people in the small matter Of insurance, q
greater amount saved in this way than the ad.
ditional tax required to build the road. Here
THEN one single item saved (the River lnsu'
rance) is sufficient to pay lfor the Road. w
throw out this suggestion for the consideration
ofour readers. Let them make the c%alcula'
ton for themselves.

and the rich, In ine, all present were de-
lighted, and with the exception Of but one,
land / am informed that one will vote forit)
will on the 2nd Monday Of April, give il
their cordial support.
Ipromised in my last 10 give some de-
tailed mater for consideration. Owing to
the fact that am not fully competent to
the task OF giving correct statistics OF the
cost of building, and that several gentlemen
have taken It upon themselves to address
the citizens in different parts of the county
on the subject, and who are pre-emmently
qualified to do the subject justice; I will
only venture the assertion without the fear
Of successful contradiction, that in the
event OF its being completed, the differ
ence IN the cost of transportation OF our
produce to New Orleans, now in the usual
way, and by the way Of the rail road, il
made-the value of the enhancement in
the price Of real estate-the convenience
Of a near and ready market-the untold
source o fwealth now dOrmantand inactive,
which might be made valuable to all classes
ofpersons, diversifying pursuits for a sup
port, would be incalculable; and reckoning
by dollars and cents, would be fifty pei
cent. This is the progressive age, and VIC
are a great, great people. Yours.
