THE ADVERTISER.
PLYMOUTH. FRIDAY, oCToBER27.
0uraelye.

After the usual amount Of trouble, per.
'plexity and anxiety. we present to our nu-
merOus patrons. the fint number of the
second volume of the PlyBsoMA -Adrer-
hser, enlarged, and in an entire new dress,
and now that the agony is over, and the
''thing is did," we assure the above-men-
toned numerous patrons, we feel not lit
tie elevated, and particularly comfortable,
good-humored and benevolent.
We have good reason to. For one
long year, we have been obliged to send
out a sheet each week, as shabby in ap-
pearance rs those published in tie diff
fercnt towns about us--an idea we
disliked exceedingly. We ehafed some
what under it, and were rejoiced beyond
measure, when the first volume closed,
and we found our support sufficient to en-
able us to give our patrons a larger and
better printed paper.
We commence the second volume with
the most flattering prospects. Our list
{ already larger than most country papers
is rapidly increasing. Our efforts to
establish paper at this point, have been
well seconded by theenterprising citizens,
and we shall go on with better courage,
and greater desire to please those who
have aided and encouraged us during the
past year.
We shall make no promises of what
we intend to do, except that we shall la
Dor faithfully to keep our readers well in
formed as to the events constantly trans
piring in this bustling world. We have
all the facilities to do this promptly and
fully, and adding to them watchfulness,
industry and care, we are confident of Civ
ing our patrons an entertaining, useful
and readable paper
Saying thus much for ourselves, we
commit ourselves, with the utmost conf
dence, to the tender mercies of the public.

EFOur old types, alas! have gone =
To how many uses have they been put,
during their brief existence Each week
these black, dirty, battered pieces Of met
al, have aided in startling the world from
its propriety." What masses of events
they have placed upon record! Murders,
fires, shipwrecks, revivals, races, arsons,
protracted meetings, big Shanghais, little
babies, fat cattle, etc., ETC., have been
made known to the world through their
instrumentality> One week, these mani
mate tale-tellers have, under the head of
Original Poetry" breathed the sorrows
OF some stricken swain, or sentimental
Miss, (always in most villainous verse)
the next, they have informed the public,
under another head, that Mr. a. d. keeps
constantly on hand, q large and well-se-
lected assortment, Of" &c, &c. Ev-
erything, from the invention of new
teapot, down to the fighting of great bat
ties, have they chronicled. Truths aud
falsehools have they told without num-
Der (the reader will recollect they had
been in use several years, before coming
into our possession) but having "fellow
feeling" for the craft, we won't give oul
opinion as to which predominates. Since
they have been in our hands, they have
given as much of the former commodity
and as little of the latter, as" circum.
stances" have permitted. We are very
glad, for their sakes, that they have nt
conscienccs.
Goodbye to them! Like everythin!
else in this busy, utilitarian world, they
must give place to those of more use
We felt twinge of regret as we cas-
them unceremoniously from their accus
toned place-it seemed like kicking ol
friends. But the public have preciou
little sentiment, so go they must. Pro
gress is the word Everything must g
forward or backward, and having some
+ thing of the "Young America" in OF
composition, we prefer keeping up wit
r the times, if not touch ahead. Such
our readers as have weak eyes, and tho.
who have any taste for the beautiful, wi
= appreciate the change.

Our venerable and worthy friend OF the
Vincennes Gazette, has been somewhat net
tied lately about the comparative natural ad-
vantages of vincennes end Evansville, or
concerning his own natural advantages, We
can't tell exactly by-which. He complains Of
the Evansville Journal, not because it loves
Vincennes less, but because it loves Evans
Vile more, aud speaks out respecting not
only its natural but its adventitious and pros
pectire advantages. AT this the editor OF
the Gazette appears to be fearfully startled,
as if having just been aroused from Rip
Van Wrinkle sleep, when no discussion was
rife, nor the thriving city in which he lives
the least in danger, and objects TO the course
of the Journal, for simply setting forth to
the world the advantages it enjoys. The Ga
zette says:
What we objected to, in our article refer
red to, was the claiming FOR her (Evansvile)
of certain exclusive advantages TO the detri-
ment Of her sister towns, while said advan-
tages are only not exclusively enjoyed by
her, but they are far inferior to those pos
sessed by Vincennes.
Now this matter of superiority Of advanta-
ges, you know, is entirely "matter of TASTE
and we shall not for q moment stop to dis
pute the point with Mr.. Caddington, since
he has so graciously consented that we may
build the straight Line Railroad" in our
own good time. we claim nothing for our
own city which we do not confidently believe
it is justly entitled to, and We conceive no de-
gree of prosperity that we would not most
cheerfulIy accord to our sister city of Vim
cennes. .-- .H

ASEcDoTE OF MIR. WEBsTER.-A mother an
ecdote of Daniel Webster, and we have eve
~ reason to believe that it is true:
"Soon after Mr.. Webster removed to
Marshfield. he made his mastery speech in
the United States Senate in reply to Mr..
Hsyne. The gentleman Of whom he b. ught
his farm at Marshfelj, Capt. Thomas, gre At
admirer of Webster, both before aud after he
knew him personally, had read The great
speech Of Hayne in the Boston Sentinel, a
paper that he subscribed for, not without a. X
ing Mr.. Webster what paper he had better
take. Capt. Thomas regarded the great
speech Of Hayne as unanswerable. He wa.
gloomy and quite sick at heart about it. He
took his room, and even went to bed
"In day or two the mail brought along
another Boston Semi weekly Sentinel. IL
contsined a report of MIR. Webster's speech
in reply to Hayne. 1t was carried to the
chamber OF Capt. Themes, with the an
nouDcement Of what it contained. Capt.
Thomas was scarcely aroused by il. He was
not believing, but faithless; he said: 'Hayne
cannot be answered; il is Ut uO use to think
of ill.,
"The newspaper was left, and the bearer
took his leave. Soon joyful noise was
heard in the chamber of Capt. Thomas. The
sick man had read the speech of Webster,
was cured, and cried, at the top OF his voice:

The following opinion of the Supreme
Court oil Illinois, in reference to the powers
of the Atlantic and Mississippi Railroad, bet
ter known by the designation above, We trust
VIII silence those papers in this city that have
80 long and zealously struggled to create
prejudice against it, and have before the Leg
Islature, and since the passage Of the act, in-
sidiOusly attempted to create the impressiJn
that it had no legal existence, or that, at best,
the act passed was OF doubtful constitution
atty. The Supreme Court has given asig-
nal rebuke to the Importance OF the press
and the interested parties who desired to
throw obstacles in the way Of its constructions.
For the interests Of ST. Louis, and as opening
TO our citizens the most direct communica-
ton with the East, we regard this road as
first in the list. 1t is more direct than any
other-shortens the distance materially
will be. built upon almost al air line to Terre
Haute, with such low grades and free from
tcurvatures that will render it the race course
ofralroads in the West
! We learn from Dir. Brough, that the work
Of construction will be commenced about the
LIST of May, and prosecuted with an energy
that will secure its early completion. In
eighteen months, or less, we expect to go
from St. Louis to Terre Haute in almost no
time. ~,u Is

The Mississippi aud Atlantic Railroad Com
pany. Appeal from Clark. Opinion Of the
Court, by TREAT, Chief Justice ofET
Ii becomes necessary to determine wheth-
er the defendant had authority to construct
the road in question, by virtue Of the provis-
ions Of the "act to provide for a general sys-
TEN of Railroad incorporation" Even il it
possessed no such authority under that law,
ample power has been given it by subsequent
legislation. The "act recognizing nd au-
thorzing the construction of the Mississippi
and Atlantic Railroad" approved the 23d OF
February, 1854, not only declares the de-
PENDANT "to be alid and subsisting corpor-
att m" but expressly invests it with power
to construct the road. This act removes all
difficulty in the case.
| If the company had not the right originally
to construct the road, the Legis lature has ex-
pressly conferred it. Ii there were defects
in its organization, they are clearly cured by
this act. Ii this Company had forfeited its
franchises, the State has waived the forfeit
ure. The Court has now no power to de-
to the passage of this act, as the State alone
may insist upon waive forfeiture. 1t is
manifestly the duty of the Court to affirm to
the Judgement entered below, and thus leave
the Company to- prosec ute the enterprise to
completion. The judgement must be affirm

A TALL SPECULATIoN.-We are informed
said the Cincinnati Columbian, that certain
house in that city has in serious contempla-
ton speculation, which in vastness of con-
ception is far ahead of am thing that has pro-
ceded it even in this age of gigantic ideas.
The plan is an Investment in bulk pork oil
one million thousand pounds, which at the
present value of the article it would amount
10 $50 500 900, three times the value of all
the pork packed in the regular way, in the
Western States for export.

PROGRESS OF AUSTRALIA During 1853,
the population Of Australia increased 8 $50.
The imports at Melbourne alone, were fi4,-
0OO, 900 against f4,ODO.oO for the whole
COLONY in 1852. For the six months entiny
January 5th. 1854, the value of goods import
cd into Melbourne from the United States
was nearly five millions Of dollars. The to-
tai gold produce for the year in ali the fields
Of Australia was 1873 tons 1928 pounds
ounces. The result is a decrease on 1852 Of
4S tons, but IL tons Of the receipts Of 1852
should have been credited to 1851. A large
number Of Americans, having made more or
less money, were leaving the colony for Peru,
in search Of gold, and if not successful
would go to California or the Atlantic
States.

The latest advices from Europe indicate
frmness in all varieties Of American pro-
ducts which seek foreign market, but more
especially in those staples ranking under the
head of "brsadstuffs." The fluctuations IN
the English markets during the last lew
months have been, in great measure, the
result of speculative panic in the absence
of pressing demand. While the great
body of troops that have been recently col
lected, in all parts Of Europe, remained at
home, their wants could be quite easily sup
piled from their own stores; but they have
but small supplies to send abroad even Tor
their own armies. The future is full OF
omen., upon which the American producer
can safely base his calculations for large
foreign demand for the fruits of his toll.
The grain countries Of the East areto be
the theatre Of war; the husbandman must
now take the musket in hand instead of the
pillow and the hoe. Already nearly one mill
lion Russian troops have directed their steP'
toward the wheat fields of the Black Sea-
The plains that waved last year with luxu-
rant and bountiful crops, will before another
harvest become the charnel repository of the
blood and bones Of the once tillers of the
soil. Not only the farms but the farmers are
to be transposed, and the quiet avocation of
the husbandman to be changed to scenes of
hostile strife. Manufacturing industry and
agricultural labor will be interfered with by
the presence Of troops in some sections, and
the drawing OF labor from the field into the
camp in ALL -.
With these considerations in view, the
American producer cannot fail to behold the
most liberal encouragement in the future
promise of rich recompense for his labors
from foreign hands. The acknowledged
neutrality of our government will also slim
ulate our commerce, by making our ships the
only unmolested carriers upon the waters
that wash the shores of the beligerent par
ties. The effect which. deranged state OF
finances, in the different nations of Europe,
must have upon the prices of American pro-
duce, should such a crisis occur, is yet TO
transpire, but the certainty of the demand
can nevertheless not be doubted. The pre-
sent high prices are sufficient to stimulate q
great production for the ensuing year, and a:
it is ell settled that the war will be OF ne
short continuance, We may expect Prolong
ed demand at considerably enhanced prices.
