Bloomington-Macon County.

We were at Bloomington, the county sea,
of Macon county, last week, during the
setting of The Circuit Court. The Court
had four days business on the docket, but
but the term would have lasted longer, had
not several important cases been compro-
missed OH the eve of trial.
Macon county is one among the best
counties Of land in the State, and is parti-
cularly celebrated for its growth of Tobacco
and stock. The soil is peculiarly adopted
to growing the finest qualities of Tobacco,
and the planters there generally get from
one 10 two dollars more on the hundred
than they do in this and Charlton counties.
The crop this year, though not an average
one in quantity, is of fine quality, and the
planters are holding it at high figures,
which we hope they will realize.
The town of Bloomington has looked up
considerably in the last few years. 1t now
contains about five hundred inhabitants. -
There are eight dry goods stores, two drug
stores; two blacksmiths shops, two tailor
shops; gun smith, shoe maker and cabinet
shop two hotels, two churches, a first rate
male and female high school, two physicians
and three lawyers, and several grocery es-
Establishments. The Court House has been
much improved since our last notice of it,
and is now well arranged and comfortable.
A new Jail has just been finished, with two
comfortable and substantial apartments
The town is yet in its infancy, and there
are but few interior towns which do heav-
Ter business, or whose citizens are more
energetic and enterprisng.
Travellers would do well to put them
selves under the care of Mrs. MENErEE, Of
the ''Union House." whose card will be
found in to-day's paper. Comfortable rooms
and clean beds, are the first requisite, and il
the traveller is fortunate enough to get
these, he cares but little for the balance.
These he will fnd and furthermore, al
meal time, will find the table well provided
with substantiabilities and Injuries.
We beg TO make our special regards tc
Maj. MoRRow, sheriff, for showing us
round, and introducing us to the citizens o.
town and county. Under his guidance We
formed the acquaintance of many gentlemen
and made handsome addition to our sub
scriptionlist. May his shadow never grow
less!

Second District-Maj. Rollins.

The Fulton Telegraph of late date came
out strongly for Major ROLLINS, of Boone,
as the Wing candidate for Congress in the
Second District. The last Telegraph has a
letter from the Major from which we make
the following extracts:
81 am in favor of a Convention at some
time, which will be acceptable to the Wings
Of the entire District, and ofsselecting that
man of our party who will command the
most strength. We arc not lacking for
good material in our District, and whilst ]
most cordially state that it would be source
of great qualification to me to occupy the
high position of Representative in Congress,
under no circumstances could be induced
to seek or to accept nomination, contrary
to the wishes of any very large number Of
our political friends or in any other way
to embarrass the party in making selec.
ton. 1t would give me as much pleasure
to fight as | have heretofore often done
under the guidance Of good and valiant
captain, as to lead the van myself.
There are number of gentlemen in your
county, having high claims to the confidence
OF the Wing party, and in other parts the
district there are men who would be an
equal honor to our cause. Let any one Of
them be fairly and legitimately chosen as
our standard bearer, and shall be more
than satisfied.
The prospects of our political organiza-
ton were never brighter in the State or the
nation than at present We see the enemy
everywhere divided, and the breach amongst
them daily widening, and destroying all hope
Of reconciliation or reunion. Under such
circumstances the Wings should encourage
and cultivate fraternal feeling; frown out
of existence every attempt to produce dis.
cord in our ranks, and march steadily for
ward in one solid phalanx, in the promotion
of our principles and our cause, upon the
success of which depend the true glory and
best interests of the country.
do not hesitate to say, that by pursuing
this course, Missouri will in four year;
more be Wing State, and with full ma
tional delegation in the Senate and House o
Representatives and further that JOHN J
CRITTENDEN as President, and with unitet
and able Wing Cabinet, will be conducting
safely the Ship of State through the storms
that may sweep over our political sea; ant
the ''coming events" throughout the ,civil
lied world, which already ''cast their shad
ows BEFORE" should forewarn us that on
country no less than the cause of Libert,
and humanity, need for their safety such
Pilot as him whom have named.
Thanking you again, gentlemen, for you
kindly feelings towards me, and wishing
you and our cause all possible success,
remain most truly,
Your friend and servant.

a DESIRABLE SMALL FARM
EoR SATH.

WITH view Of removing TO California,
w propose to sell the farm on which now
reside, situated in Howard county, Missouri, on
the State road leading from Fayette TO Boonville,
about six miles from either place. This farm is
located in one of the most healthy and fertile
portions Of Missouri, and in the centre of the
best society in the county, being not only conve-
nient TO schools and churches, but within reach OF
the best markets the country affords. The farm
CONTAINS ABOUT los ACRES,
so acres of which are in cultivation. The cul-
tivating lands are in
HIGH STATE OF IMPROVEMENT,
being freshly clovered, and well adapted to the
growth of HEMP, CORN or TOBACCO, and
divided into suitable proportions Of
Meadow, ClOuer and Grain Fields.
! The improvements are log buildings, with suit
able out houses, stables, &c. Apple, peach and
cherry orchard. Also, good horse or OK mill,
(inchned wheeD arranged for grinding corn or
wheat
| An opportunity 10 obtain footing on this fer
tile ridge is rarely offered, and persons desiring to
purchase would do well 10 make an early call.
have another small track of heavily timbered
land, II miles distant, which will sell with the
farm if desired.
! TERMS MADE EASY!

Low Prices-Cash Payments.

BY the credit system, so universally pre-
valent, the inhabitants of Missouri lose
enough every year to maintain them, at an
economical rate of living. Credit is really
essential to but few, but there is a fascina-
ton about it that is irresistible to most per-
sons. Not one dealer in twenty-nay, fifty
knows, or thinks, how much it costs him
to buy one year on a credit The merchant
who sells on credit is bound to tax his
customers fifty per cent on the cost of his
goods, to make up for bad debts and wait
ing. He bought on credit and paid, say
twenty-five per cent above what the goods
could have been bought for at net cash.
Here then is seventy-fve per cent the con-
sumner has to pay, because his merchant
buys and sells on credit. If our mer-
chants would 60 into the best markets and
make their purchases for cash, they could
bring their goods home and sell them for
cash, at the same prices they noC pay for
them, AID make handsome profit. They
pay twenty-five per cent too much for their
goods: out Of this allow eight per cent for
interes on purchase money, and seventeen
per cent profit is lelt-enough for any one
to exact. This would be clear saving Of
fifty per cent to the consumer, which, as
before stated, economically expended, would
clothe and feed the inhabitants of the State
n whole year. Is not this true? There is
no doubt about the principle, but our est
mate of profits may be little too high Elk
anime the subject for yourself, reader.
We are glad to see one of our heaviest
houses (Messrs. Perry & BARTHoLow
have concluded te adopt the CASH SYSTEM
They offer liberal inducements, for the part

MARRIAGE NoT1cEs.-The editor Of the
Rome Farmer has established a peculiar
tariff of charges for the publication of mar
riage notices. For notice where the
wife is first rate one, the charge is dollar,
and from that down 10 nothing, according
to the estimate of the husband. In one
week several notices were received accom-
panied with a gold dollar and only one with
less. One fellow valued his wife at fifty
cents, another at a slice of pound cake.

Nebraska.

The Benton and Anti-Benton wingS Of
the Democratic party, appear to be taking
sides on the question Of the organization oil
this Territory and we are prepared to ex-
pect an unrelenting warfare between them
on this question for some time TO come. -
Senator Atchison has taken the field and
has made speeches at several places in OPP
position to the organization Of the territory
unless the act of Congress known as the
Missouri Compromise, is repealed; thus, as
we understand, again attempting to excite
the fearful slavery question which has SC
recently endangered our Government
Now, we are decidedly in favor of a wal
between the ,cingS but we hope for the gooc
of the country, they will select some ques
ton less dangerous TO the Union, abou
which they can quarrel without disturbing
the rest of mankind.
For ourselves we see no reason why
Nebraska should not be organized on thu
principles of Mr.. Halls bill as passed b,
the last House of Representatives and thu
dispose of this exciting question:
Nebraska is represented as one Of tn
very best countries on this Continet; an
its speedy settlement we deem essential a
connecting us with our Pacific possessions
and in addition if Railroad is ever built
California it must of necessity pass throug
this territory. In view of all this, an
much more that we might say on the sui
iect, we hope to see Nebraska speedily OF
ganized and opened for settlements Hunts
