T70 THE HEIRS OF OFFICERS AND

Il Soldiers Of the Revolutionary and other
Wars-The undersigned having established per-
manent General Agency at the seat Of Govern
mcnt for the prosecution of claims against the
United States, continues 10 give his usual prompt
attention TO all business entrusted to his care.
The success he has achieved in bringing about
a speedy settlement of old claims placed IN his
hands, justifes him in believing that he will be
equally fortunate in behalf Of his clients for the
future. Suspended Pension and Bounty Land
cases meet with special attention, and in no case
will fee be charged, unless the claim be allowed
and paid 10y the Government.
There are many representatives of deceased
Naval Officers who have claims that can be estab
lished by applying to the subscriber.

TCLECTIC MAGAZINE FOR ,s3.-The

III
IL sphere and the utility of the EcLEcT1c MAGA-
ZINE have become too well defined to require ex-
planation Differing in aim from other magazines
and supplying a want which is widely and increas-
inely felt by more educated and intelligent por
ton OF the community, II fills place which could
be filed in no other method than by the principle
of selection which ii adopts. The great reviews
and magazines of Great Britain and the Continent
through which the leading minds of the age are
accustomed, almost exclusively, to express them
selves, are too numerous TO be reprinted, as well
as too costly to be imported by the general reader
They contain, likewise, much, with their desirable
articles, that has but temporary or local interest
and which is worth to the American reader neither
the price nor time required TO peruse it. To select
from the whole field of journalism all that is really
valuable both the graver dissertations and discus
siens of the reviews and the lighter and more
versatile contents of the magazines, is the pur-
pose of the ECLECTIC. The best parts of all are
thus sesured, without the cost or mcumbrance OF
the local or feeble parts of any. The main portion
of the EcLECTIc will continue to be composed OF
the great and eloquent articles of the reviews;
while everything valuable or brilliant in all other
periodical issues, particularly of Great Britain,
will be carefully presented richer and more
valuable aggregate will thus be furnished than the
contents of any single periodical could afford
Embellishments of the highest order of subject
and engraving will occupy each number. Among
these will be richly engraved portraits of the most
distinguished living characters, especially in lite
nature, art, or craftsmanship. These plates
engraved by Mr.. SARTAIN, who has no superior in
the striking and effective style of the mezZotlnt.
TERMs.-The Eclectic Magazine is issued on the
first OF every month"; in numbers Of IA large Svo
pages each, on fine paper, making THREE VOLUMES
year, with title pages and indexes. Price SIS per
year if paid strictly in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Sc.
