EIt is mooted question lust no,

k9 IL Is Iuootcd question just now
whether it is better to stand about the
streets with collapsed pockets, or take up
bag and baggage and depart for the Frazer
river gold mines. BY referring to our ad.
vertisng columns it will be seen that there
is plan on foot to organize q company to
start for that new Eldorado by the overland
route. The undertaking seems to be great
one, but is in reality of no greater magnl-
tude than was the overland route to Cali
fornia in lS49-5O. If anybody is going,
they had better be about it in hurry.

Some OF THE REASONS WHY WI
SHOULD QUIT TAKING WILDcArs.-Frst-Th
people have sustained the notes of the Banl
Of Florence since the first day of last Octo-
Der, now almost ten months. and kept "
the redemption for the owners during tha,
time. at a cost offrom to 90 per cent.
Second-The proprietors have promised
every day during that time. that in few
days 1t would all be right.
Hird-Fed by such promises, and the
consequent "allurement of hope. merchants
have permitted their own god names and
credit to suffer, and have taken upon them.
selves proportion of the odium, which 50
justly attaches to this rotten currency.
Fourth-The proprietors Of these cats
have either deceived the people intention
ally, or they are unable to retire their cur
rency in legitimate way.
TJA-The consequences have been that
Davenport has lost its good name and fame;
and owing to our worthless paper promises
to pay, men from abroad are beginning to
shun us as they would city cursed with
the plague.
Sirth-Fsrmers in Scott, Clinton, and
Cedar counties are getting disgusted with
this state of things, and declare that they
will not sell us their grain and pork, and
take rags in payment.
StrenM-There is no more prospect to-
day that Florence will be speedily retired
than there was eight months since.
Will our merchants see their credit ruined
and their trade destroyed,b by reason Of these
scandelous wildcats. or will they act; pre-
serve and add to the present trade of the
city; labor for themselves and their own in.
terests awhile, and let those who have fur
nished us SO long with shinplasters and
promises. take care Of themselves?
This is an important question, and the
answer concerns every person who is in
terested in the future well being of our city
What will that answer be? We shall see
