Wool farding--

It is with pleasure that We an
nounce to such Of our citizens as hav
heretofore sent their Wool over int
Marshall to be carded, that there il
no longer any necessity for so doing
Mr.. LaJaa Tucker, an experienced
NIachinist and Wool Carder, having
bought the stand formerly occupied
by Rams w & Dauid, has, at consid
cradle outlay, purchased in the city
Of New York the most complete Ma
chine to be had in the East-embra
cling improvements heretofore unem-
ployed in Wool Carding in this Sec
tion-wliich he is expecting to re-
ceive daily. This, together with his
knowledge Of Machinery being a
practical AIachipist--and a long ex-
perience in the Wool Carding bust
ness, enables us to recommend him
to the favorable notice Of those hav-
lag Wool to ca I'd. We have ever
the necessity Of sending
our Wool to Marshall to be carded;
and always believed, that whenever we
had the same accommodations here as
abroad, it would stop. Now the OPP
porsunity is about being offered, and
We trust our citizens Will. avail them
Of the services of an obliging
md competent man, to do what has
been hitherto entrusted to our Mar
shall friends. Come-let us encour-
lge our 0 WI citizens to make i'm
eroyements Mr. Tucker having
ocated at our county site, and made
considerable investment in the way !
# improvements, lnachipery, &c
night to lave a fair trial
Besides Mr.. T., there are num-
er of Wool Carlers in our county
of Gus tom; and We believe
hoy ara DC corhpa+ant IN ID orood &
.ork as an \ one in Marshall or else
here. 50 we conceive that there is
0 necessity I'd r sending the Wool
broad. 1t ma be little selfish
ut.we DO want our own citizens to
rosper, in 3 degree commensurate
ith their commendable Efforts
'herefora, let US begin with our Wool
'arding mfn-let them have the
VOL to Cd I'd, and n BIT send it to
farshall.

glo.hiag Store

The past success of this House,
with the superior stock being re-
ceived this spring, is indubitable evi-
dence that ScoH, Gray & Co., will be
eventually compensated for their en-
terprising spirit. 1t was, not until
these men embarked in the business,
that the public could be accommoda-
ted to any very great extent with
ready-made Clothing. Besides re-
warding them for their enterprise,
you can. be accommodated with a
superior assort ment of Cloths, and
ready-made Clothing, on as good
terms as are to be had in the State.
We have seen few specimens of
the stock which they will receive in
a few days, ana We pr onounce them
inferior to none. Plea Sc give them a
call. We intend adv erting to this
House again, ere long.

NTWe publish day the letter ofDaniel Kneed-

tertimony is disnterested, he cannot expectto be

the sentiments held by the great majority OF the
common soldiery, who served under our gallant
leader, and who see him and know him as he was,
and no have none OF the interested motives which,
too often, influence those of higher grade, who
are too much absorbed by self to do impartial Justice
10 their great leader. We have never yet met with
soldier of the army of occupation, who uttered a
word in disparagement of the military and private
character of Gen. Scott. There are many of them
who oppose him, but who do SO solely on the
ground of political differences of opinion; but
who, at the same time, like the generous Quitman,
give to their great and noble commander all praise
and credit, alike for his public and private cha
racter. OF such, we have no right to complain.
They but exercise their rights in SO doing, and we
only regret that the Democratic press does not
more generally follow their example and quitting
the Shiny and inky proofof detraction and defama-
ton; war for principle and it only. We ask for
this letter candid peruSal by the people, that they
may see how and what Scott was to the poor SOL
diers of the line. They, at least know him, and II
the arbtrament were entrusted to them alone, we
would see at once the most perfect acquittal OF
their General, from the foul charges sought to be
cast upon him by hireling press and vindictive
opposition.

to him the mead of praise, which is due to
him for having rescued our noble structure
from the vandal aggression which sought to
overthrow it. While this question had ma
ny and able advocates, while the great bo-
dy Of both Houses saw, and determined to
avert, the destruction contemplated by our
jealous neighbors; still it is to DIR. Obs
that we must award the credit Of having
been the first to fix the attention and con-
vert the judgment OF both Houses, by his
mastery and able report Chairman Of
the Committee of Post Roads, &c. From
the moment that report came into existence,
we regarded the law lately passed. as
foregone conclusion. As an able legal ar.
gument, reviewing the positions on which
our claims to Congressional legislation

elusive, and had DR., Obs no other claims

his political course, and that it is too vic.
