Of Fayetteville IO6serrer:

fine, spirited paper, land can truly
say, that in point Of matter it is ex-
celled by none. | Nd Just compliment
you upon the splendid artistic skill
displayed in the OJ Fcroer;; for it is;
as far as / can judge the creature Of
master printers. hope the day is
not distant when botbh work in this,
the greatest Of all Ar is, will cease to
obtain countenance, a d the energet-
ic and g,-aozuqtea print ter will reap the
benefit of his skill. Grammar n lay
be taught our child ren, but if its
rules are continually and grossly VIC
lated by vulgar printers, It's practical
use viii be lost, and I'VE had as well
be without it as with 1t. 1t will not
do to deal in negro dialect and chill
dren's gibberiSh, in d rider to -pander
to the appetites of @Tonl, Dick and
Harry. Let the sty BE Of editors be
chaste and elevating, and the effects
will be visible and RAJ bid in changing
the tone of mind t throughout the
community. Second to the petition,
1lAy Aagaom GOMEZ" let US pray for
good newspapers Newspapers are
the FOOLS seorn; but t Ike them away
and where are we? Rhther pluck the
stars from the sky far better, pray
Jehovah, to clothe tile sun in sack
cloth, than take from US the candles
and torches Of civilization, Without
them, where would bel $ur liberties2-
the guarantee of eur tights? Flick
ering in the legends Of tradition, they
would soon expire in mel nory-not
live, even in the son & Of the poet.
Those opposed to go pd newspapers
are behind the age they live. in
yea, lin ping upon cr4tches- dr9nes
and miserable simpletPns who are al
ways hG ngry in the belly and never
in the head. They think more Of a.
plug or two of tobacco than good
paper to read the whole Of the year!
If man is determined to be beast
he should at least learn his
children how to read, and this is the
only effeetual way.
The business season Of the year is
nearly over-the cotton is all gone.
Until very lately, the train of cars
was not sufficient I'd do the heavy
business of cotton transportation; but
now they are prepaEed, as | should
think, having several new cars mus |
tered into service. The river trade is
about over. Sever al boats have laid
up. The sUnion, '.Atldnta," and
Lady Of Augusta were at the wharf
yesterday y, as | hear dl The '.Union'
has done a better business, it is be-
lieved, than any other boat this sea
son. Splitter, her cd plain, has gone
to Pittsburg to superintend the build
ing Of the Elkton boat, as it is ru-
mored. Capt. Todd former captain
of the steamer "Jarhes Jackson is
now captain of the Union for this
S season. | really do d OF |
know what has become Of the "Lin- |
colnp since she wab raised, but / |
she is being repaired at De- !
eatur. , Chatta nooga has the appear
lnce of a city--a great deal of busi-
ness is done here. There are five /
Hotels in full blast! Ind an enormous
g custom fob these, as ypu
will imagine, both # pm up and down
The river, as well as Tom the rail road. |
Any thing can be spld here that is |
1t all fit to eat. There are a great
many mechanics ahd day laborers
here. The city sw4rms With $ tran
gers. A great man y new bull dinggs
ire going up, and some spl4 ndid
ones in contemplated. Another fine
Hotel is to be built immediatelly
Fhe Presbyterians are getting up a
subscription to builHa-6ne Church;
5he Methodists afhady hqge a re-
speetablG frame ChpFch to worship in
there are no others up or in cons
.emplatibn, as can learn. cannot
see why this place will not continue

liver trade is truly enormous-pro-
AUCTIONS of all kind IS are continually
It the river for sale, such as corn,
iour, wheat, meal, bacon, &C., besides
