The prospects of the anthracite coal trade. next
season, have been materially improved by the length
and severity of the Winter. The impression now il
that the yards in NewYork Boston and other Eastern
cities will be very eectuay cleared out by the time
Spring opens. We aso understand the supply of coal
from the Schuylk region for the year 1856 will not
exceed that from the region in 1855. The tuD-
mage the past week by ihe Reading Railroad was only
tuns and for the year up to Thursday last only
O57 tuns against 2l3 Isl tuns to the time last
year.
The Cumberland region coal shipments for the year
thus far have been ,s57 tGns.
At Philadelphia money s easier and frstclass paper
goes at 9 3 cent.
At New-Orleans ON the 2sth January Sterling was

Attorney General thinks unconstitutional. We may
here remark that the legality Of said law has been sub
mitted TO the Supreme Court in session, and de-
cision is looked for in few days. Our best informed

ADvERrIslNG.-We have alluded TO
tho success which has attended Mr..
Walker, ~ an auctiunecr. We might
refer to other liberal advertisers, who
have rapidly built up large business
by advertising, thus literally becom.
ing the architects of their own fortunes
We have never known an instance
where liberal and judicious Advertising
failed to reap rich harvest. But in
order to obtain the full benefit of the
outlay, advertisers should initiate the
schoolboy who stands shivering upon
the waters edge in early Spring, ven-
turing first one foot and then another
into the water, and hesitating to take
the plunge, which alone will bring a
healthy reaction. A small advcrtis.
ment, timidly inserted in the cheapest
column of a newspaper, may yield a
return, but it will not test the advan.
tages Of advertising. Some definite
plan of advertising should be decided
upon. and a liberal sum appropriated
annually to that purpose. The princi-
pal of one Of the most successful cdu-
cational institutions in this part Of the
country some years since determined
to advertise to tee amount of $1,000
annually, although his income at that
time scarcely exceeded that sum
The result is shat as he recently assured
us, his business has increased tenfold,
and he has nearly doubled the amount
of his advertising. His success is but
one among many instances which
might be cited Of the advantages Of
the plan We have suggested. They
prove conclusively that the seed plant
cd by judicious advertisers, is never
injured by early frost or droughts, and
always yields rich harvest.-Boston

The editor Of Fillmore paper in lndl-
ana very candidly remarks, that if the Fill
more electoral ticket does not receive

get suihcien, to prevent the election OF the

their Fillmoreism thus far 1t i time Tor them

the electoral cote Of the Northern States 10

hope from those Fillmore men who prefer
the success OF Buchanan with his Pro Sla-

In the language Of another, We do not
ask Fillmore men who prefer The success Of

and that Kansas should be subjugated and
slavery extended over the territories, TO stop

votes whether cast directly OF indirectly will

those men who are opposed 10 the extern
sion Of Slavery and desire change in the
Administration, 10 consider we'll before cast
ing their votes Indirectly in favor of party
TO whose principles they are opposed. The
great question at issue is "schstter slaperj
