 You know, Ned," said Simon, ''that I have lost my companion" ."- Gle had recently lost his wife, a most pious and estimable lady, by death): land besides that, 1 have been think ing a good deal, lately, about my lat ter end, and the next world"

 LET IT BE REMEMBERED, that in 1640, at the October elections, the democrats of Pen nnsylvania carried that State by large majority; and yet, at the Presidential election, three weeks later, the wings succeeded in casting her vote for Gen. Harrisonl There is no reason then, to suppose that the same result may not be achieved now. The paltry majority of 5000, which has just been obtained, by fraud, as our friends allege, in a poll of nearly 450, ,000 votes, is a mere matter of moonshine. The friends of Fillmore are all firmly in line again, and the pres ent majority can readily be overcome. The minority are nearly as powerful as the majority, and 5000 against us will be powerless to arrest our adyan- cing columns Vichsburg Whig.

 Hon. Charles J. Jenkins, who some time since amour ced his purpose to vote for Mr. Buchanan, because he feared that Mr. Fillmore was in favor of the restoration of the Missouri com promise, has become satisfied on that point and now supports Mr. Fillmore. On this the New Orleans Bulletin has the following gratifying information:
 A gentleman direct from Georgia, brings the cheering intelligence that the Hon. Charles J. Jenkins, who some time since came out for Buch- anan, on the ground that he did not know Mr. Fillmore's views as to the restoration of the Missouri compro- mise, being convinced by the response Mir. Fillmore has lately made inregard 10 that measure, has come out for him for him and is now stumping the State of Georgia, for, the national, Union candidate. The only doubt we have had in regard to the vote of Georgia, has been caused by the position of Mir. Jenkins, who is by far the most inGu- ential man in the whole State; and now that he sees the clear, the unmis- takable path of duty, has determined to throw the whole weight of his vast influence into the Fillmore scale. The vote of the Empire State of the South, at the Presidential election is no long CT a matter of doubt.

The customers of the late firm are assured that they will be treated as well, if not better, than heretofore, and Goods of every descrip- ton will be sold as cheap, both at wholesale and retail, as they can be afforded in any southern market. It Is no humbug when we say that we can sell goods as low as they can be purchased in Memphis or elsewhere in the South. One of our partners spends the most of his time East. and we are satis- fled that he purchases Goods as cheap as the cheapest, consequently our facilities are such as to enable us to fulfil this promise faith fully. We intend, however, selling goods at wholesale, to confne ourselves to a cash business exclusively.

might be saved, but pasleboard soles'
low-necked dresses, and Iilliputian

many with corsumptive tendencies
from an early grave:
"Put il on at once. winter or sum-

the case no one can take cold red.

A Wrinkle about the age of Horse

A Wrinkle about the age Of Horses.
"A few days ago we met gentle
man from Alabama. says one of our
exchanges, who gave US piece of in
formation in regard to ascertaining
the age of horse, after he or she has
passed the ninth year; which was new
to US and will be, we are sure, TO most
Of our readers. 1t is this: after the
horse is nine years old, wrinkle
comes on the eyelid at the upper cor
ner of the lower lid +; and every year
thereafter he has one well defined
wrinkle for each year of his age over
nine If, for instance, horse has
three wrinkles, he is twelve, if four ne
is thirteen. Add the number of wrin-
kles to nine, and you will always get
it. So says tho gentleman; and he is
confident it will never fail. AS A
good many people have horses over
nine, it is easily tried. If true the
horse dentist must give up his trade.
