An Important Fact,

One Of our business men stated to us
yesterday, that he could have increased his
business during the past year at least ten
thousond dollars, if he had continued ad-
vertising as be bad done formerly. He
bad put of preparing bis cards and an
nouncsmsnts from time to time, for more
leisure moment, and at the eud Of the
year the result of the delay was as above
mentioned, 1t may be asserted as posi-
tive fact, that no commercial pursuit can
flourish in this day of newspapers without
regular and liberal advertising. The man
who follows this fundamental rule will re.
aIizs from five hundred to q thousand per
cent and often more, on the money paid
for advertising. The trader. mechanic, or
manufacturer will not be able to maintain
. highly successful business if be confines
himself to select few of odd customers
He must either rely on The general public,
or make no progress; and he can only
reach that promiscuous body by publishing
the range and extent of lis stock in the
advertising columns of the newspapers
printed where be does business. So Ohio

The Facts Of the Amistad Case.

landed a cargo Of African negroes on the
Island Of Cuba. They were there cold in
lots 80 suit purchasers" A lot was bouht
by two SpauiaTds namel Ruix aad Nan.
dsz, who subsequently, chartered a ANAL
yeaael TO take them to another part Of the
lslaod. When out Of sight o. land, the
negroes arose and took possession Of the
vessel and demanded to Be taken back 10
their native home in Africa. Thsy com.
mitted no assault upon their purchasers
further than to demand of them their re.
lssse from bondage and their restoration
to home, kindred, and liberty. They
knew nothing Of navigation. and the yes.
sci hnally found its way into Long Islaud
Sound; aud was formally taken possession
Of BY the revenue cutter and brought into
New Haven. where the cases were tried.
and the Court decided that they were en-.
titled to their freedom, aud they were sub.
ssquently set st liberty, and the two Span.

the field Of bsttle with no other covering
but the canopy Of heaven. | have walked
over frozen ground till every fOOtstep was

Just about this time one of The Gsov.
ereigus," who had become very much sf-
fected by bis tale of woe, walks up in front
Of the speaker, wiping the tears from biz
eyes With the extremity of his coat tai,
and interrupting him, says:
"Did you say that you bad fought the
British and ihe IAiina?"
"Yes" responded Revolutionary.
add you say that you had slept on the
ground, while serving your country, With
out any kiVer?"
"Yes, sir, I did,"
"Did yon say you had followed the en-.
emy of your country over frozen ground
till every footstep was marked with 6lood2"
"Ye'." exultingly replied the speaker
"Well, them says the fearful sovereign
as be gave a sigh of painful emotion, I'LL
be blamed if l don't think you've done
enough for your country, and IN vets for

aud was detected BY Peel, who took the
money, Rueksr forfeiting the pile by The
false play. The ensuing day ths parties
met at the settlers store, While there,
SOME remark by third party revived the
subjsct Of the game, and the quarrel of
words between Rucker and Peel took :
mole seiious turn, Peel said that there
was but one way to settle the matter
