M pagne.-The subscribers having been ap-
upoited by Messrs. Heldseek & Co. TO succeed
Mr.. Charles Engler heretofore sole agent in the
in the United States for the sale of their Wines,
who this day retires from business, respectfully
call the attention of the public to the subjoined
card.
The Messrs. Heidseck Sc Co., as set forth there
in, Justly claim 10 be alone enabled to send TO this
country the genuine Heidsieck & Co. Champagne,
under the same name and style originally intro
duced into this market, now nearly thirty years
ago, they being sole proprietors of all the identical
vineyards, cellars, &C., which the founders and
originators of this celebrated brand had owned.
Such being the fact, we need not dwell upon the
superior quality of their Wines the reputation OF
the same among the American public being already
identified with unsurpassed excellence.
We beg particularly TO notice that their brand
still bears the same name Of Heidsieck & CO., in
full, by which it first became SO favoraby known,
being thereby easily distinguished from other SINH
lar marks which have since appeared.
NEW YORK, January /, 1854.
CRAMER 61 ABEGG,
Successor to Charles Engler,
and sole importers in the United States.
STANISLAUS MURRAY is our sub-agent for
Washington and Georgetown, D. c., and Alex
andria, Va.
CARD.-Upon the dissolution Of the old
firm, Hedsieck az Co., in 1884, the senior partner,
who had the sole charge Of its liquidation, con-
tinued the business, retaining exclusive possession
Of the vineyards, vaults, &C., which the origina
partnership had enjoyed.
Our new firm are mis- immediate successors and
sole proprietors of this wel-known brand.
In order to distinguish the same from limitations
and marks similar TO our own, which have ap-
peared and may hereafter appear in this market,
the name Of our firm in full will be found on the
labels and around the corks.

eW writer in the Enquirer is combating Mr.
Fsks report in favor Of the Grccnbrier route, and
advocating that through Monroe. We take no part
| in this local quarrel. But the writer, who seems
master Of his subject pulls Mr.. Fsks report 10 pie
| ccs at terrible ratc-and altho' warm friend Of
the Covington Road exposes the impolcy Of prose-
cutting it on the proposed route lilo shows that Mr.
Fisk has greatly moderated the costtat several ad.
ditiona millions must be added to his estimates for
construction. Mr.. Fisk's figures exceeded ten mil
lions. Mr. Deane showed that he had omitted nearly
five millions, which would be necessary for engineer.
Ing, dcpots and equipment This writer now exhibits
some three or four millions morc-and contends that
nine years will be the shortest time in which the road
can be completed, unless by an enormous increase OF
expense. 1t may be- that some friend of the Green
brer route may be able to disS,ct the Monroe route,
and demonstrate that lis cost will greatly exceed the
figure fixed upon by its champions.
Our inference from this clashng OF authorities is
that the Legislature is not in condition TO act in the
premses-and we fear, the work itself is beyond the
| abilities Of the Stat. The Grcenbrer is understood
to be the route at present ayored by the Board Of
Public Works--and according to the estimates we
have, the cost cannot be less than 90 millions. Add
one ihird--an which all estimates require, and
we have 80 miiions=ad that too on the suppoSition
that the work will be udcousiy and economically con-
Quoted. But here arises another difficulty viii wise
and judicious economy be employed by irresponsible
officials, whose private interests will be inconct with
the publicintcrests II So It would be the first in
Stance on record Gu: fear is, that the 80 millions
would be squandered, and should be as far as ever
from the completion of the Road.
