War IN Spite of Congress.

The New York Commercial Advertiser
is permitted to make the following ex-
tract from a private letter written by an
American gentleman now on the Conti-
nent of Europe. TO his friends in New
York. the writer being in position we
believe, to observe correctly the current
of affairs: g31 e
In spite of the Congress to be assem-
bled, there will be no peace. Neither
France nor Austria wants peace. The
peace party of Europe is confined to the
Derby Ministry in England, to the anti
Austrian regency party in Berlin, and to
the Stock Exchange. The Derby Minis
try is now powerless. Russia will re-
main neutral until Austria is attacked at
home; and Russia aims at nothing but
the humiliation OF Austria. War is nee
essary even in a financial point of view
1t is the only means of avoiding national
bankruptey-the only decent excuse for
not paying the interest on the public debt
in Austria or making new loan in
France. The war, however, may be con-
fined to Austria and France In no case
will the Emperor ofFrance provoke a CO.
alitiou. .r...- 80. s.st. t e.. , ,ia !

From the Ohio Statesman.
The May Convention.


The Democracy of several counties of
this State have already issued their calls
for county meetings to appoint Delegates
to the May Convention, and in brief
space of time q movement will be made In
all the remaining counties, for that pur-
pose Duties of more than ordinary i'm
portance will devolve upon the next DEM
ocratic State Convention, and the DEM
ocratic Masses in the several counties
should participate fully in the local con-
ventions and appoint as Delegates to the
State Convention, the ablest and most
judcious Democrats in their several coun
ties
1t is important that strong ticket be
put in the field Many excellent and
worthy men have been named for the yari
ous offices for which nomination are to be
made but none have been unduly pressed,
nor have the friends Of any candidates
attempted to disparage the favorites of
others. A convention composed of dis
Greet Delegates will, therefore, have no
difficulty in selecting from among the gen.
.leman named ticket of good and strong
men, upon whom the whole party can
unite with perfect harmony, and thus the
energies of the Democracy of the State
can be brought TO bear in support of the
nominees of the Convention with courage
and enthusiasm. .5-
We hope thai the Democratic voters
in the different counties will participate
in the county meetings, and take care to
confer the responsible trust Of Delegates
to represent them upon the best and ablest
of their numbers--upon those whose wis
dom, prudence and patriotism would make
them valuable and useful members of so
important body as the Democratic State
Convention of Ohio for the year 1859.
Every Democrat in Ohio appreciates
the great Importance of the approaching
contest. Every one feels the absolute
necessity, of the redemption Of the State,
and the election of the Republican dynas-
ty which now mismaEages our public af-
fairs. All are impressed with the great
good to be accomplished, both for the
State and nation, by the overthrow of the
sectional, fanatical Republican party in
Ohio, which may, we believe, be achieved
by the intelligent, harmonious action OF
the May Convention, and the bold and
vigorous contest which is sure to follow it.
1t is gratifying to observe the general
harmony which pervades the ranks of the
Ohio Democracy at this time. Let this
spirit be cultivated aud strengthened
Let causes Of irritation, if any exist, what
ever be their character be kept in abey
ance, and let onr convention from its very
enthusiastic harmony, strike. terror int
the ranks of our opponents. The mora
power ola Convention thus composed, ant
its harmonious and united action, will car
ry its nominees safely through the contest
fierce though it be, triumphan'ly to vic
tory. 80. f.-- 1l=

The Emigration to Pixies Peak.

The Kansas correspondent of the Pro-
vince Jourmal, under date of April 10,
says that on the bank of the Blue River,
opposite Manhattan, X. t., there are now
encamped some four hundred and fifty
men, with their teams, waiting for the
grass, preferring to remain in the settle
ments until the feed for the cattle is suiIi-
cient to carry them through. Besides
these, there are constantly going through
town hundreds pushing their way on to-.
wards the gold country. The emigration
thus far has consisted mostly of footmen,
some with City to q hundred pounds on
their backs, others with hand. carts, drawn
by four to twelve men, looking like fire
company; others will have an odd OK
hitched to it; some with mule or an old
horse. These passing through town pre-
sent singular appearance. Some Of
these men, and in fact a large majority of
them, have not FIVE dollars in money about
them. A few Of these, with their provi-
sions. on their backs, have nothing in fact
in the way Of food, excepting corn, which
they live upon roasted.
This class of men will cause much trouble,
for it will be impossible for them to get
through, and they are intending, no doubt,
to rob the trains on the route, and, in fact,
we have already heard of such cases
two parties have returned who went out
very early, having been robbed Of all their
provisions and obliged to return for more
Not day passes but large number of
this gentry cross the ferry. They are a
hard set to look at. The camp across the
river consists of better class of men, and
their outfits are good; some of them have
their families with them, and all seem to be
ir fine spirits.
The great express trains Of Russell &
Jones commence their trips, daily, the
coming week. They have already sold
$4,000 worth of tickets, and are obliged
to start with two coaches per Gay. The
emigraticn is all following on this track.
This company also sells tickets to foot
men to stop at their stations to eat, char
ging $45 q ticket in advance.

The influence of Advertising,
Under this head the Circlesyille Vat


Under this head the Circlesville Watch-
man, itself one of the best patronized pa
pers in TIE State, gets off some good
ideas. The remarks will apply equally
we'll to other places. Says the Watch
man:
The advertising patronage Of News
paper is a true and unfailipg index to the
business of the place wherein it is pub
lished. People will follow the noise, and
customers will go where they are invited.
Now in our Dry Goods, or other half col
umn advertisements each person finds
something that they need. or would like
to have. If they are coming to town,
they will go FIRST to the place, where they
know the article they want, can be found.
And although they pass dozen other
establishments that have the same thing,
yet they don't know it, and to save their
time, they go FIRST to the place where
they are sure it is, (Time is very impor-
tsnt to those who have to come distance
to town. After an advertisement gets
customers into a mans store, it is his
fault if he don't sell them. An adver-
tisement is nothing more than the sign
owe. your door, only more extensive
it is on larger scale, and instead of
being stuck up over your door, is stuck
up in every farm house and every other
house in the country. Advertising is
like putting seed into the ground. You
get no security that you will have an
abundant return, yet the experience of all
time proves, that if you comply with the
acquisitions of nature good return may
be depended on-So ifyou advertise pro-
perly, harvest may be expected
Now, why don't all business men ad-
vertise? Simply because they have not
got the courage. They have not suili-
cient courage to put the seed into the
ground. They are afraid i. won't pay
They can't venture fifty or hundred
dollars, in the business of fletting purchas-
ers know what they have to sell. Some
persons advertise a while and then be-
cause they don't grow suddenly rich by it,
quit, never thinking that it is just as nee.
essary to advertise constantly, keep your
business constantly before the public, as
it is to keep clerks, or make any Other
preparation for business. We believe
that we are warranted in saying that the
best advertisers are the best business
men, and vice versa. We believe tha
advertising is more generally appreciated
here than in most places, and the resul
is, our business men have more customer
and better business than their cotempo
rares at other places. We know O
towns in Eastern Ohio, that are jus
starving for want of little advertising
energy. We don't know as we can con
clude this article better than by quetiE
the words of Solomon, who, .everybod
knows, was no slouch at anything he IN
dertook He said: "There is that sea,
tereth, and yet increaseth; and there
that withholdeth more than is meet, br
it tendeth to poverty" That woul
have been more in place as a text, proba
bly, at the beginning of this article. Ac
vertising is that which scattereth but il
creaseth-the economy that won't &C
: vertise is that which withholdeth but tel
deth to poverty. We can yet profit
