Our city is, as usual at this season of the year,
filed with drummers from the North, soliciting
orders for all sorts of merchandise.
Let them be told that we buy no more goods
until political affairs assume a different aspect.
They will probably reply to us that they are con-
Those who send them are leading merchants,

see if they wont open their eyes Let their drum

the South.' Let our mails carry them no orders.
Let firm after firm smash, and manufactures STOP
that are now sustained by Southern demand. Mer
chants, we will lose nothing by this course, in
pecuniary way, and may contribute to the saliva
ton of the country from impending ruin. Large
stocks are at best, in such times, no good invest
ment.
One word more-though some of these drum
mers are well known here, and believed to be res
pectable men, yet others may be Abolitionist incen
diaries in disguise, bent on mischief. And besides
all this, the business of selling by samples, though
it is patronized by many of our best merchants, is
at all times Illegal unless carried on under a
license, and everybody who knows anything
about the matter, knows that not one III one hun
dred of these drummers ever think of taking out

were five of the injured by the recent accident on

Mr.. Stebbns, of Appleton, Wisconsin, whose leg
was badly crushed, will be able to go home in a

ribs broken, his lung punctured etc. is rapidly re-

ruins, he was covered with blood and rayins like n

skull was badly fractured and he was badly

and as quiet as church yard, but notwithstanding
all the care bestowed on him, at times he is quite
delirious. The weight of a finger on his head
