Congressional Canvass.

We understand Mr.. FlournOy is speaking
in some of the upper counties of the Dis
trict. We have had no accounts of his
speeches, but shall hear from them soon,
we hope. During the last canvass our cor
respondents kept us well posted up, and
we hope they will not neglect us this year.
1t is important that Mr.. FlOurnOy's posi-
tions should be known, and we desire our
friends to let us hear from them at every
point he speaks. Mr.. Lindley is not here
and his friends must use extra exertions in
his behalf. We have heard it suggested
that Mr.. Flournoy will be in this county
the first Monday in June, but do not know
whether the information is reliable. We
hope it is.

gestions above9

Addition to Glasgow Suburban Resi-
flences

A company of our citizens purchased from
Talton Turner Esq, some time since, tract
fland East of and adjoining the town, con-
tanning one hundred and twenty-six acres,
at one hundred dollars per acre. II has
boon laid off into squares and sub-divided
into lots of half an acre. Many of these
squares are on high and commanding ground
and will make beautiful private residences.
The Addition is called East Glasgow -
The streets running East and West, through
the city proper, extend through the Addi-
ton. The streets running parallel with the
river, are numerically named from 9Th street
NJ the old town.
The purchase Of this tract and the laying
it oiFinto lots, which the company will dis
Jose of at prime cost, affords fine opportu-
nifty to procure suburban residence, COM
bining the comforts of city and country life.

be dotted over with stately mansions and
cottages, as many of our residents are only
waiting to sell their residences in town, pre-
paratory to building farther out.

rates of produce, and limited circulation of
the Bank of Missouri, it is impossible to pro-
cure the notes of that Bank, in sufficient
quantity for daily payments, and we consid-
er the substitute most fortunate for farmers,
as the entire circulation of the Bank is Sc
cured by State Stocks, dollar for dollar, and
consequently as safe as gold.

Winchester. bound from Liverpool, on the

on board, and in thirty minutes after the
last passenger was taken of, the wreck
sunk.
The Winchester belonged to Boston, and

him, but some of the sold liners" don't like
him. Squire Ross, we presume, is only be-
ing humored, to make him keep buncombe
straight. Judge Owens is not solicitous,
neither seeking nor declining--the true po-
sition to occupy. A meeting is called for the
first Monday in June, when two new names
will doubtless be brought forward--an cold
