ILLINOIS CuRRENcY.-Wca are glad to learn
that the bankers of Chicago, Galena, Quin-
cy, Peoria. Springfield and Alton have en-.
tered into joint arrangement. the effect Of
which will be to sustain our home currency.
This can be done with united effort on
our part, in spite of the stand which may
be taken against it at st. Louis or elsewhere.
The opinion is general that the notes Of our
stock secured banks are the safest money in
circulation, and it is proper that We should
resist every effort calculated to throw dis
credit upon them.
The very best thing that paper money can
be used for now is to pay debts with; and
every body who has any on hand should be.
gin paying off his creditors. It as good as
any thing to pay debts with at home and
should be kept constantly circulating

A MELANCHOLY FISALE.-The village Of
Colchester, on the Chicago, Quincy Il Bur-
lington road, was the scene of . sad affair
one day last week. A yound lady of that
place, the daughter Of an estimable citizen,
had for some time past received the address

es Of her parents. They demonstrated with
her again and again upon the subject, but
to no purpose. Finally the father told her
he would rather follow her to the grave
than see her the wife of man whom he re-
garded as so unworthy Of her. Shortly af-
forwards the young lady was g. lied with an
alarming illness. and in three hours more
was corpse. just before dying, and when
she knew she was beyond the reach Of rem.
edy, she confessed to having procured and
taken large portion of arsenic. The un-
happy fathers alternative was presented to
him sooner than he could have believed pos

Advance Pay, System.

Advance Pay System.
The editor of the Fulton Democrat, some
three months ago adopted the advance pay
System with his subscribers, and gives the
result in the article that follows:
1--WE have been testing this "advance
payment" plan for about three months, and
we should be great deal better of to-day,
had we opadted this plan two years ago.
For the last three months-we "bewed 1t
down" nearly half about that time-since
Our circulation has increased rapidly, and
will, in . short time, be as large as ii ever
was under the miserable "credit system"
Oar experience teaches us that under the
old plan at least one-third Of the subscrip-
lions can never DO collected"
We have been testing the same system
for about three months, making an excep-
ton only in cases where we have other deal
ings and accounts with subscribers, and our
experience has betn exactly that of our
Fulton contemporary. We are satisfied it is
the only honest way for publishers and sub.
scribers By the credit system the paying
subscribers and advertisers are either com.
PEELED to make up the losses Of the dis
honest, or the publisher must starve; while
with the advance system we can print bet
ter paper for less money. Tla a..l -T's..0

BURNHAM's COMMERCIAL COLLEGE AT ROCK
roRD.-Of the various Commercial Colleges
in the West, none certainly enjoys higher
reputation than that under the control Of L.
W., Burnham, Esq, at Rockford. This COL
lege was established but two years ago. yet
by the Cataloguej just issued and now before
us, we learn that on the 1st Of September its
students numbered JAG. In no similar in
stitution in the country, We are assured by
those who have enjoyed the advantage of q
term at this, is the instruction more thorough
or more eminently practical. Add to this.
that the institution is located in one of the
handsOmest inland towns in the northwest,
and that the expenses Of board, &C., are less
than one-haf what they are in large city,
and we can conceive Of no reason why the
College at Rockford should not have the
preference over any similar Institution in
West Such as desire full information in
reference to this institution, are referred to
the advertisement in another column, and
can also obtain the last catalogue by calling
at this Office.

New ORLEANS AND CATrLE.-The following is a
copy of the act introduced by Hon. D. Pellern into
the Senate, says the Baton Rouge Advocate of the
18th entitled An Act relative to the sale OF live
stock in the city of New Orleans =
BE it enacted by the Senate and House Of Repre-
se2taiices of Louisiana, in Genera! assembly con
ued That hereafter any person residing IN the State
Of Louisiana, driving live stock 10 the city OF New
Orleans. shall have the right to sell their own cattle,
without being compelled to employ agents for 50
doing.
BE fufther enacted etc. That all laws or parts OF
laws contrary to the provisions of this act be, and
the same are hereby. repealed and that this law
t;Ae effect from and after its passage.
The foregoing law is defective. 1t needs another
section. The owners Of " live stock should not only
be allowed to drive them as they please, but when
they arrive at New Orleans, should be permitted to
stall and feed the aforesaid live stock at the eX-
pensc Of the city, What right have our people to
impose upon drivers? What right have they to do as
they please with their own money?
Verify verify, this is a great country and the
Senate of Louisiana is an &" immense body The
next move will be to specify the particular kind o.
meat we are to eat, we suppose. Go it!
