UNCLE Tom IN ALABAMA-A gentle
man in Alabama, writes as follows to the ed
itor of the New York Evening Post
Tsa Alabama, May Sth, 1843.
To The Editors of the NeW York Ecening Post
have just finished perusal of Uncle
TOMS Cabin" read every word to my
wife. | will not attempt to describe to you
her feelings. She is an Albanian; Vir-
gilman, by BIRTH We are Shareholders The
moment the steamer with George Harris and
Eliza his wife touched the Canada shore, three
shouts for liberty to the tops of our voices,
rent the air.
Every man, woman and child, white and
black, in the southern States, can bear testi-
mony to the truth of the portrait which Mrs.
Stove, God bless her! has drawn of slavery.
One of not the least excellencies of the book
is, that christian, of the highest STYLE stand
ing side by side with Wilberforce and Mrs
Hannah More, leads the reader by the hand
through the habitations of cruelty that lie
before our eyes. He or she can then draw
a contrast between the Christian and mis-
tress and mother, who was some years since
near neighbor of mine, who owned a little
negro girl. She would heat the tongs, and
pull the flesh off her body with them.
burst affirm that if his Satanic majesty
were put upon his vair dire he would CON
fess that slavery is one of the works of the
devil which Christ was manifested in the
flesh to destroy.
In my opinion, Uncle Toms Cabin is des-
tined to have greater influence for good
than any one single book that has been pub
lished since the close of the cannon of scrip
ture. Mrs Stowe if | may so speak, is an
impersonation of our Saviour, going about
doing good. The reader at once penetrates
the deep meaning of the parable of the ser
want that took his fellow-servant by the throat
who owed him few pence; of the good Sa-
marian, and of Dives and Lazarus Mrs
Stowe has ended her book just as she should
have done. She has suggested no plan of
emancipation further than the example of
young George Shelby goes. She has left
the duty and responsibility just where St
Paul, in his letter TO Philemon. left it on the
slave owner.
Our warmest thanks and best wishes to
Mrs. Stowe, whom generations unborn will
rise up and call blessed
Very respectfully, DC.

Advertise your Business.

DO NOT HIDE YOUR LIGHT UNDER BUsH-
EL~-W hatever your occupation may be il
It needs support from the pablo, advertise il
thoroughly and efficiently in scme shape or
other, that will arrest public attention.
freely confess that what success l have had
in my life may fairly be attributed more TO
the public press than nearly all the other
causes combined. There may possibly be
occupations that do not require advertising.
'butl cannot well conceive what they are.
Men in business will sometimes tell YOU
they have tried advertising aud that it did
not pay. This is only when advertising is
done sparingly and grudgingly. Homapa-
the doses OF advertising will not pay per-
haps- lii is like half potion of physic-
making :he patient sick but effecting moth
ing Administer literally and the cure
will be sure and permanent. Some say
they cannot afford to advertiser" they mis-
tSke-they cannot afford not to advertise.
In this country, where every body reads the
newspapers, the man must have a thick
skull who does not see that these are the
cheapest and best mediums though which
he can speak TO the public where he is to
find his customers. Put on the appearance
ofbasiness, and generally the realty will
follow. So with advertising. The farmer
plants his seed, and while he is sleeping
his corn and potatoes are growing While
you are sleeping or eating or conversIng
with one set Of customers your advertise
mrnt is being read by hundreds and thou,
sands of persons who never saw you or
heard of your business, or never would had
itnot been for your advertisement in the
newspapers. The business men of this
country do not as general thing, begin 10
appreciate the advantages Of advertising
thoroughly. Occasionally the public are
aroused at witnesSingthe success of Swain
a Brandreth; a Townsend, Genin, or a
Root, and express astonishment at the rap
idity with which these gentlemen acquire
fortunes, not rejecting that the same path is
open to all who dare pursue it. But it needs
nerve and faah-the former to enable you
to launch out thousands on the uncertain
waters of the future; The latter to teach you
that, after many days, it shall surely return
bringing hundred or thousand fold to
him who appreciates the advantages of
printers ink, properly applied.

Agricultural Fairs.

The increase of agricultural fairs through
out the country, is one of the most favorable
signs of the day, American farming is
confessedly inf&lior to that of Great Britain
SO that whatever tends to elevate it is al pub
lie benefit, and should be encouraged by
all good citizens. The greatest benefacter
of his kind, itlhas been said, is he who
teaches two blades of grass to grow where
only one has grown before. These fairs, by
the emulation they excite among farmers,
directly to this end. They are TO agricul-
turists what an exchange is to merchants
Every novelty is there produced, discussed
and its merits decided upon. ....
Consider what these fairs have done for
the breed of cattle. If the few spirited in-
diyiduals, who first imported the best stocks
from abroad, had, instead of exhibiting
them ct these fairs kept them secluded al
ways on the farm, how little comparative
would have been the good affected. The
breed Of cattle on that particular estate, and
on one or two neighboring ones would have
been improved but the great body of agricul-
turists would have remained entirely igno.
rant of the advantages of superior stock
of cattle. The difference between Italian
farming, where no improvements have been
made for centuries, and the modern soien-
tifc farming of Great Britain, is tobe attri-
buted to exchange of ideas among the far
mers of England, and the want of such an
exchange among the farmers of Italy. A
few fairs would regenerate the Italians.
Formerly these fairs were confined, in the
United States, principally to the neighbor-
hood oflarge cities. There has been, for
many years, such fair in this county,
But now every county in the State is
establishing an agricultural fair. Farm
ing, clAse lenily, is! bsin5 quicke ned
to new life. The venerable jog trot fash
ions of tilling the soil are giving way, under
the stimulating influence OF these assemble
ges, new and improved methods. just as
cooked hats, quenes and powered heads of
our grandfathers have succombed to the
more sensible attire Of existing generations.
The old fogies in agriculture are getting as
hamed Of themselves. The most incredu-
lousskeptics in scientific farming and good
breeds Of cattle are mortified whenan aricul-
tural fair is opened at their doors, and they
see, with their own eyes, how far they are
behind the age. '. '.l
Give us agricultural fairs all over the land
They will work miracles. What the spin

The Beauties Of a Paper Cu"ren-


The following from that able paper, the
Chilicoths Advertiser, speaks our sentimen-
ments exactly, on the subject to which it
refers, especially the closing sentence.
We are sometimes asked why we cherish
such an antipathy to paper money. The
thing is easily accounted for. We hate to
work hard for money and after obtaining
what pnrports to be money, find it either
counterfeit OR subec. to a large shave. We
have found ourself at Rochester, New York,
unable to buy a rsilrold ticket with OHIO
Bank notes, to say nothing of shaves that
before that time we had to undergo Our
profits for the last month can be set down
as counterfeit US on some bank in Massa-
chuSetts: So on Michigan 25 per cent dis
count and vi on Washington city, which
is current only in that city. Under circum-
stances like these is it wonder that we do
not venerate paper money-that we should
insist that the men who issue it should pay
taxes in like manner with other people?--
Gold and silver have never inflicted any such
inconvenience on us, and hence we prefer it
to any other currency that can be trump ed
up. However we yet receive paper money

EEThe Liverpool Daily Times, has the
following pithy paragraphs upon the war
question:
"It surely cannot be as alarming as the
public seem to think; unless, indeed, the
Russian tyrant be again fondled, nursed ant;
succored by England herself, from whose
tender sympathies she drew the funds to
prolong the siege, and enter the gates of War
saw in 1929, and through whose parental
fondness she found in 1851 sum of $4,-
100000, to repair her losses in the Hunga-
lian war.
"The political hirelings of the London
press have their feelers out on behalf of the
needy disturber of European peace. 1t
therefore behoves our government to take
some immediate steps to prevent subsidies
being furnished to foreign state. with which
we are virtually, if not actually at war
The urgency OF such step'needs no prece-
