The Winchester weekly appeal. [volume] (Winchester, Tenn.) 1856-1856, 1856-11-28

1t will apear to our readers to-day
that the Winchester Appeal is no Ion
ger to be considered as "one-horse"
paper. Our friend PURvIs has consent
ed to hitch on with u.s. and carry the
Appeal on its determined course to do
good in the community. We commend
our young colleague to the confidence
and respect Of our patrons, fully salts
fed that liberal public will encour-
age the meritorious efforts of youth,
when directed by an emulation worthy
of their favor. The graceful and sa-
lutatory bowof our young friend to the
Corps EDITORIAL will guarantee to
him ready passport to their esteem;
and VIC assure them that more gal
liant "Knight of the Quill' never en-.
tered the lists of lettered chivalry.

THE CLAYTON TRIP. Our columns con-
tain copius notes Of this ever memorable
voyage, bnt there is an unscriten history
oft that would probably "take the socks
off the published report. The comic. tho
fantastic, aud the hilarious, must have
prevailed in an extraordinary degree.
Our town got such an exciting start on that
day, that it has scarcely recovered from
it yet. Fun and ffolic has ruled the hour
since Friday morning last. We are not
sure that tho influence has not extended
into the county. The Editor of the Times
by some inexplicable mystery was seduced
by his Monona friends and found himself
a participant in the 'giddy dance at the:
'Egbert Hail. on Friday evening. The
proprietors of the Young America Saloon
snd of'Parry's Express are to blame for
this. The result of the election may have
contributed to the fabrication of joints
that has extensively prevailed lately.

BALTIMORE RIOTS.

On the day of the Presidential Election,
the Monumental City furnished the Amer
lean People her annual exhibition of in
fanny; street fights, riots, dead and wound
en- Germans and Irish, and rampant K.
Ms, were the order of the day. The in
habitants of the city established by the
tolerant Lord Baltimore, showed their
regard for the memory Of its great founder
by denying freedom Of opinion and action
to those protesting his form of faith i
The Hon. H. Winter Davis in morning
speech counselled violence, and being a
good pratiot and exemplary christian he
was regarded as safe man to follow
The Governor and the Mayor had meet
ing which resulted in quarrel, and the
Odd foreigners were killed or Grip
pied during the interesting conversation
Of these d,gnitarics, Fillmore swept the
City by large majority, and Forty Of
it's citizens are dead or wounded in proof
of the triumph of Known Nottingham!
1t is singular that the "pure American
doctrine can not succeed in any place
but by the cogent reasoning of the pistol
and stiletto, brass nucks and fire. Time
was, when sound argument was supposed
to have some intrinsic merit-mcn were
appealed to in manner fattering to their
supposed possession of brains, but the
latter-day style seizes the earliest opportu-
nifty to sprinkle the sidewalk with the
brains of al opponent; perhaps a X. N.
imagines the article to be more easily
managed out Of the head than in it. and to
save time, he applies club or ball to
the shell that protects it All right
probably in the eyes of intensified Aeri-
canism. We, however, are unpatriotic
enought to hope that such "moral suasion"'
as is used at Baltimore, New Orleans,
Louisville, and few Northern cities, will
not become fashionable in the young and
thus far) tolerant State of Iowa.
CECIL, Lord Baltimore, Catholic, was
the first to establish in the Colonies, free
dom Of religious opinion. His Colony,
now the State Of Maryland, is the only
State in the Union that has forgotten Anne
rican Rights and iAsultcd the memory OF
its illustrious fathers by throwing it's vote
in the scale of illiberality. Time will
teach the disgraced city to be ashamed Of
the character it has established. Mr..
Fillmore is doubtless good man but he
had some awful fellows tagging after
him.

THAT CHAIR.-There has been more
contention for the last few months as to
who should occupy the Presidential seat,

small matter, we have stumbled upon a

all. You all know CHAMBERS of tho Nesc

TIE MAII,9.

Since writing upon this subject week
before last we had an opportunity of call,
ing upon Judge Cookery the p. MastE
at Dubuque. He had favored our article
with perusal, and in explaining to VI the
manner in which our mails came up Miss
ing he laid us under great obligations
From an exhibition of the documents made
out by Mr.. Brown ofthe Dubuque office,
we learned that the mails per steam boat
for the North are made up regularly at the
hour and upon the day specified in the
contract, but the non-arrival of our much
looked-for bag, is attributable to the fact
that the Steam Boat contractors do not
call for it except ENTHUSIASTICALLY
There is sometimes an accumulation Of
several mails at the Post Office at DuBu-
que, and when it suits the convenience of
the contracting company to put it on board
their boats, We geta mail-when it don't,
we go without a
To report such delinquences naturally
suggests itself, but the contract goes a
begging we are told, and we may as well
endure what we can not remedy. Itmight
have been worse perhaps ; at all events it
is too late to scold now, just as navigation
is closing, and as we will get a regular tri-
weekly by the Land Route through the
winter, with a strong hope that in the
Spring our facilities will be infinitely i'm
proved, let us "quit getting mad " about
what is now irremediable, and go to work
throughout this whole Northern Iowa and
Southern Minnesota, at gettingup petitions

disposition to Lynch him, but better coun

LIVERPOOL AND CHIcAGo.-The Galena
Aavertiser contains an interesting letter
from an Englishman, chronicling the arri-
val at Liverpool of the Dean Richmond
with cargo Of Western products direct
from Chicago! The writer predicts a
brilliant future for Chicago and Galena
through the trade thus successfully be-
gun and we both believe and desire, that
the brightest anticipations Of the CONNER
cial seers of those two cities may be re-
allied. But there is another point loom
ing up to the vision of that portion of the
west lying North Of AZ degrees. The
Galena correspondent seems to have over
looked it. That point is MILWAUKEE,. Her
Torn arms, Briareus-like, are extending
themselves in all directions, and but a
short time will elapse, before her advan-
tages will be second to those of no city in
the Valley of the Mississippi Situated
near the outlet of Lake Michigan and
draining country unrivalled for its pro-
duction Of Northern export material, she
too, will " Go down to the sea in ships, !"
and deliver to our furnishing transatlantic
relatives the surplus of a crop that will soon
be gathered from territory equal in extent
to half. Of Europe. Milwaukee has not
been immodest. Her enterprise has been
marked on the map of the west in the iron
characters rather than in gaseous preten-
sions, and when her lines of Road strike
the Mississippi, the coming year, it will
be discovered that she is almost without a
rival in the transit trade of the Upper
North West. What that trade may be in
1860 is beyond all estimate. The Galena
and Chicago Union, and the Chicago and
Fulton Lines, can tell what place Milwau-
kce occupies on the commercial map,
after they have figured up their .tretght
business next fall

DUBUQUE,

This. fast city is doing an immense bust
ness. The streets are crowded with
teams, the side walks with boxes of goods
packed for interior and up-river mer-
chants, the Hotels with business men and
strangers, the places of amusement with
pleasure seekers. The Drays, Wagons,
Stages, Buses and Carriages are so plen-
ty that snarls often take place as in New
York, and it requires many minutes to
untangle the knot so as to admit of a gen
eral movement. Mann street is too mar
row for the business now done on it, and
in less than five years it will be impossi-
bic to drive through it during business
hours. Several Of the streets of New
York have been enlarged to accommodate
the increased trade and travel, and most
of our western cities vii be under the ne
cessity of doing the same thing. The
streets now laid out in old towns and all
the travel-ways of our new towns, should
be established with an eye to the impor-
lance which awaits them. ........
We had but little time to make the &C
auaintance of the business men Of Du-
buque, but we have the pleasure of ex-
hibiting in our columns the CARDS of a
few ofhe very best men IN Il. These men
understand that Milwaukee is looking in
this direction for trade, and unless some
effort is made by Dubuque to retain the
advantages she now holds, her north Iowa
and Minnesota customers will bid her a
long farewell. In our opinion, mow is the
time for Dubuque to show herself to
northern customers. Ifshe waits till trade
opens in the spring, Milwaukee and Chi
cago will enter the lists at the same time,
and she will have lost the opportunity af-
forded her this winter. to make favorable
impressions upon the mercantile classes
of the great North West.
The circulation Of the Times is APP
preaching 1890, and We have little doubt
that in another three weeks it will in
crease 25 to so per cent. 1t travels into
all the counties of this latitude as far west
as Clear Lake City--all the southern
counties of Minnesota, and hence we can
impar.ially commend it as the best adver-
Using medium north of Dubuque and
west of Milwaukee. We have now al
most as much advertising custom as we
are willing to accommodate, but when
time is allowed us to condense and re-
arrange our present faunrs, smaller Type
will be used, and our ability to oblige will
be increased. ~ *s--. ...
We respectfully invite all our all our
readers who visit Dubuque on business,
to call upon the firms whose names are
found in our second column, and give
them your trade. They are all reliable,
gentlemanly and obliging, and YOU will
find their shelves well supplied with de-
sirable stocks and at the most reasonable
prices. ... 81 aa
