RUPTIY AND UNPLEASANTLY IN
PUBLIC PLACES"-This remark will not
apply to those who are fortunate enough to,
have their garments made with machines
taking what is called The double lock stitch, AS
is the case with the Laid, Wedster & Co..
Machine, which makes the stitch alike ON
both sides Of the material leaving no under
side ridge to wear out by washing and IRON
ing. These machines are meeting a want
long expressed by the public, in their adapt
edness to all kinds of Sewing that it is posi-
BE or practicable TO do. Wherever Sewing
can be done, j n muslin or even leather. they
will do an amount of work that is truly as
tonishing. Strong in construction, yet 50
simple in mechanism rs to be easily under.
STOOD they fully merit the reputation they
have obtained, Of being the best Seuing Ma
chimes erer inrented. We do our friends
favor by referring them to the advertisement
in regard to these machincs-Philadelphi

--On the 22d of January the
Senate of Rhode Island, by vote
Of 81 to 9, passed an act repeating
the personal liberty bills of the
State. 1t was thought the bill
would pass the House on the
Oath. This is the way to pre-
serve the Union; do justice to the
South instead of coereing her to
submit to wrong.
HOME ApvERrIsIno.-One Of our Ex-
chan ges utters wise sentiment when it says
that the prosperity and enterprise ola place
may be known by its local advertising.
This is fact If town has little or no en-
terprise among its business men, the papers
will show it by the absence from their COL
umns of local advertisements. The principle
on which many business (') men act is to let
their customers come and find them instead
of trying to bring customers to them by let
ting them know, through the medium of a
newspaper, or circular, or something Of the
sort what they have to sell, and the induce
ments they offer to purchasers. A few dol
lars laid cut in advertising judciously, will
answer the same purpose as writing several
thousand letters, or of keeping q travelling
Agent at heavy expense. Those who ad-
vertised the most will bear testimony that
were it not for advertising they would not
have succeeded So we'll in business-We
nearly every day, receive advertisements
from distant places, some of those cos ting the
adve rtiser as much ~ $500 90. One Of our
advertisers pays the New York Tribune
THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS, for one
advertisement in tina: paper, and he expects
to make money by the investment. yet there
are many men in business in this CITY who do
not advertise even their card in the local pa
pcrs.
No wonder that business is dull with them;
no wonder that the city itself is dull when it
depends on such men to bring business to the
place. We trust that the few live business
men among us will renew their energies, and
push ahead their enterprise, and be reward
ed for their labers, by securing the vast trade
of the region which can be brought in bust
ness connection with this city.-Dubuque

New Orleans, has been betrayed into the
handsof the traitors by Capt. Brushwood
the commander. We give an extract
from the Geographic reports which show
that our government, in the hands Of the
present Administration is powerless
The facts show that the government
will be unable to get any Of its orders
South, unless sent by special messenger.
The dispatch sent by Secretary Dix to
Hemphill Jones, special agent Of the
Treasury now at New Orleans, was stop
ped on the 2sth at Montgomery, Ala. 4,
by order of the Governor Of that State,
who took the message and forwarded it
TO the Governor of Louisiana, thus pre-.
venting the arrest Of the notorious trait
or. Capt Brushwood. The following is
a copy of Gen. Dix's dispatch:
WASHINGTON, Jan 2Sth.
To Hemphill Jones: Tell Lieut..
Caldwell to arrest Capt Brushwood. as
sumed commander of the cutter McClel.
land and obey orders l gave through you
1t Capt. Brushwood, after arrest, under
takes TO interfere with the command of
the cutter, Lieut. Caldwell will consider
him mutineer and treat him according.

American flag, shoot him on the spot"

Border State Convention.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The Conven.
ton is in session, to-day, with closed
doors. Mr.. Wright, of Ohio, is tempo
rary chairman. All States that have ap.
pointed delegates are represented, ex
cepting New York, Tennessee, Maryland
and Illinois. Eleven are fully repre-
scented.
A motion to admit the press was ia
bled.
A committee on permanent organi.a-
ton was appointed, and the Convention
adjourned till TO morrow noon.
John Tyler will probably be permsn'
snt President. L. 10 uuasrs.anA that III.
~-.:-o rrncasA;nss will be conducted ia
secret session.
The Times Washington correspon len,
intimates that Fort Sumter has been re
inforced by tn steamer Brooklyn, which
landed upwards of 300 men at the For
BY means of row boats and mufned oars
A rumor is current that Fort Sumte
had been attacked. No dispatches hav
been received from Major Anderson .
the Department for three days.
1t is said that the Virginia Commits
sioners to the Border State Convention
will offer, the first thing, resolution
deprecating force toward seeding States
If this is voted down, the Southern
States will secede.

A COMPROMISE

A compromises are being talked Of
We will mention that it has been propos
I'd that the United States should buy al
tbs slaves in the District of Columbia
and tho border States and colonize them
Should this be done, there need be no
sacrifice Of principle by any one, and the
border States would not only be paid for
their slaves, but their real and personal
property would be worth more without
their slaves than it is with them. We
would much rather see this plan adopted
shso any ofthe so called compromises that
the superannuated old politicians have or
can devise.
Let US have no more compromises with
the sum of all villainies." 1t is time
that We had learned that owe cannot
touch pitch without being defled.'

There are rumors of slave insurrec-

prevent the re-opeuing of the African

and ungodly divines (?) say it is, why
not reopen the slave trade? If slavery

CONDITION OF TIE sOUru.
tfrom the Davenport Gazette, Jan. aIs.1


The Democrat, in its issue of yester-
day, publishes letter from a correspond.

authentleates so much that has been said
in the Republican papers of the North
about hard times in the South, and the
negro, owners Of South Carolina leaving
with their "stock" on account Of criey
Gus taxation, that We publish an extract
Did the Democrat lay claim to Il particle
Of consistency, We should be surprised
after all it has said in favor of the South
and branding such reports as Republican
lies, to see it publish from its own cor
respondent an authorization of these re
ports -
" AT the time of my visit, I was off
cially told that the receipts of cotton, VI
to Dec. 18th, had fallen off from las
year, same time, about 700 600 bales
while the receipts of Northern comm ID
tiles, grain, &c, had held its own, if any
thing increased. Another item | vii

borers and mechanics of every grade
thronging the ~harves and by places, GU.

To make it short: there were a hundred
and eighty-two of these unfortunate men
picked up upon the levee, sleeping under
tarpaulins, &c, in one night, and i'm
prIsoned; being brought before the re,
carder, they were discharged, but refus,
ed the boon, saying they were in utter
restitution, that something must be done
for them

of accumulated woe, I found the human
