ANSMeoRrANr ENTERPRISE.

Aue ueafASiaM1a' 1a'corTesponucht olel Rich-
mond 'Erd'niner, in a late letter, notices an
enterprise, thesimportance ofswhich to the
commercial prosperity Of the South acan
scarcely overrated. lie says: ,
l am glad to be able to announce to you
that thorougly organized agency, called
the European and Southern Advertising
Agency. has been established. There is an
officer in Liverpool, LondonS Glasgow, Par
is, Havre, Brussels and Hamburg. The
manufacturers and merchants of Europe are
delighted with the enterprise, as most
practicable means Of making themselves
known to our people. You may, therefore,
expect to see the papers of the South soon
teeming with classified trade lists, rcpresen-
ting the leading manufactures and rner-
chants in good standing in every consider
able town Of Europe. ~
On the other hand. the journals of Europe
have been informed that Southern mer-
chants, manufacturers, railroad companies,
owners Of valuable mining or other proper
ties. hotels, insurance agents, etc etc., will
be advertised in the papers Of Europe, so
that the people. Of England, France, Italy,
Spain, Belgium, Austria, Prussia, Holland,
Switzerland, the Hanse Towns, and even
Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Russia, will
be made acquainted with the names, locali-
ty, interests and business of the people of
the Confederate States. In other words.
1t as a direct trade alliance between the
Southern and European ports, through
the practical and substantial medium of ad
vertising. The official printed circular will
he issued in few days, and hope you will
be able to see in this matter something
worth your notice. Depend on it, we must
not leave tue advertising columns Of our
Southern press Sopen to Yankee money.
Our European friends must {and willy come
forward promptly, early and literally, and
occupy the ground, and occupy it so
thoroughly as not to leave room for the no.
tice of a single Yankee notion.
This agency will also be able; through Its
favorable access to the European press, to
counteract the slanderous policy of the So
called Mercantile Agency Of the North.
Any Southern merchant can tell what it
was and is. 1t was simply Mercantile
'nquisition, and has now duplicated .and
spread all over Europe black list o,
Southern houses, embracing nearly every
business firm in the Confederate States.
In his last lottcr, alluding to the same sub,
ject, be says: .s
There has been a meeting Of the friends
Of the movement to which I referred the
other day, in regard to organizing Eu-
ropean and Southern advertising agency
A Board of Directors. has been appointed
The superintendent has not as yet been de.
signated. The Board of Directors will soon
issue circular invitation to the editors, o
the South to meet at Macon, through ac-
credited delegates on the 18th October
The reorganization, then. must hurry ur
this measure, or thesentire press Of the
South will soon be in alliance with Europe
for the commercial and financial indepen-
dence of the Southern Confederaoy.

WILL KENTUCKY GO WITH THE SOUTH


The question for the people Of Kentucky
TO determine is not whether the Southern
States shall be subjugated or their indie.
pendencc acknowledged, but whether they
will unite the destiny Of their State with
the North or with the South. The indie
pendence Of the Southern Confcdcracy is
fixed fact; settled beyond question by
the glorious battle at Manassas. This be-.
ing settled, it is for the people of Ken
tuclsy to determine whether they will re-.
main with the North or unite with the
South.
When our people are called upon to
determine this question we have no doubts
as to the result. Missouri and Maryland
will certainly withdraw from the Union,
and it cannot be that Kentucky will long
remain in Confederacy in which she
wonld be the only slave State. We know
it is urged that slave property would be
more secure should Kentucky remain
where she is, than if she should join her
sister States Of the South but this is a
mistaken idea. If Kentucky unites with
the South, the Ohio river will become the
Northern boundary Of the Southern Cons
federacy, and troops will be stationed along
its entire length, thereby protecting our
property far more efficiently than it has
ham protoofoJ Larotocos.
We know there are few in the State
who desire the abolition of slavery, and
are confidently looking forward to the
time when Kentucky. shall become free
State, and the places of our Shareholders
and slaves shall be supplied by the sur
plus population from the over crowded
cities Of the North. But this will never
occur. The Southern Confederacy will
not permit Kentucky, so long as she re.
mains in the Union, to sell her slaves to
the Southern States-frence the slave
population Of our State will have no out.
let-slave property will become located,
and consequently will be comparatively
valueless.
United with the North, Kentucky will
be mere dependency-not a coequal
State. Inthe SouthernC Confederacy she will
exert controlling political influence. Pos.
sessing great natural advantages, she will
soon become leading manufacturing 2
State, and will be enriched by the custom
from the Southern States, from which the
North has heretofore derived its CHIEF
wealth. The Northern manufacturing e
States will no longer supply the South; a
tariff will be imposed on al articles manu-.
factured1there, and Kentucky. will thus be
protected in her manufacturing and indus
trial interests. In viewing the whole sub.
ject' in our judgment the union of Ken
lucky with the South, is a social, political,
and commercial necessity Louisville

ssREfARE YoR rBEs WINTER cAMrA1aNs..

The 2Richu0nd Eran,iners touches on %
good subject in g good way, when It says:
To the pel,iugsof every pi,iless storm,
to every cutting wind, to every snow and
frost, our soldiers must be exposed during
tue approaching winter. In rudely con-
etructed terts, these soldiers are to suffer
every privation which winter may bring
wilhait. Let the thousands who will en-
joy the approaching winter months snug
'y ensconced ty blazing fires, protected by
their walls and well>covered roofs, remem-
Der that their defenders are TO spend the
long nights Of winter exposed to every
storm. Let them remember that il through
neglect and exposure those brave defenders
are stricken down, not only will there be
grief in every family, but rapinc, con6sca-
ton and suhjugation at every door.
We earnestly conjure all who are not in
active military service to prepare for the
winter campaign. God has blessed every
State Of the Confederacy with suck abun-
dant crops that we can easily feed an army
Of five millions Of men. All Of DIR ener-
ges must now be directed to providing suf-
| ficient warm and comfortable clothing for
| our soldiers. The soldier is 40 much ex-
posed that he will need his winter clothing
by the first or middle Of October. Blankets
comforts, 4annel-shirts, thick, strong shoes
lined pantaloons, padded coats, gloves,
worsted protectors for the chest, and num-
berless other articles, will be needed in i'm
rnense quantities by our soldiers. Let
every hand be ibusy and let every private's
purse be open for the preparation and the
pure hase Of these and other indispensable
articles. The South Is full of the raw ma
terial from which these things may be fab
ricated. They should be made at every
farm house in the South. There are no
fingers too delicate for this work, and none
too coarse and ignorant to be useful EN-
ployed,
If there are any SO parsimonions as to
hesitate about contributing to this iudis-
pensible work, we must stimulate them TO
Iiberality by simple suggestion. The
property of every citizen Of the. Southern
Confederacy, who is not traitor of the
Carlile type, has been coniscated by re-
cent act Of the Yankee Congress. If we
are conqured, we are beggarcd. Liucoln's
ruftians will seized every variety Of person
atty which we possess. If we do not tri-
unph we lose all whilst OH the other hand
success will make US five years the mos:
prosperous and affluent people of modern
times.
Lberality to our soldiery has become a
great necessity to every property holder in
the Confederate States.
sT'' Let no sane man think of money making
until every battlefield is whitened with the
bones Of our sensual, brutal and depraved
invaders. Every thought about gain and
self must now yield to the wants of our
rave soldiery. If, though our neglect and
Indifference, our armies become disorgan-
lied, then will land, slaves, mules, horses,
cattle. bonds and stock become WORTHLESS,
except to the rapacions Yankee invaders.
Every feeling Of patriotism and every
selfish confederation require us to devote
money, labor indeed, everything-to the
comfort Of our soldiers,

Great Union Meeting In Baltimore.

ZION last Thursday night there was held in the
Maryland Institute the largest political gath
erng that ever assembled in the city OF Bal
timore. The Hall of the Institute, lower floor
and gallery was densely crowded, and the
widest enthusiasm prevailed. When the
Bands which was in attendance struck up
Hail Columbia, an immense shout went up.
When the Star Spangled Banner followed,
the cheering was immense even to the drown
ing of the delightful strains ofthe Band. This
was followed by Yankee Doodle, producing
a most thrilling effect. Such meeting has
never been witnessed in tho city, and gave
the most demonstratiYe evidence that the
hearts Of the Baltimoreans were with the
Union. Some persous with disunlon tenden-
cies, who attended tho meeting for the pur-
pose Of producing confusion, and whose i'm
pudence led them to give some Indications Of
their disunion procliyities, were roughly han
died. A series Of Union resolutions was
passed, taken principally from Washinston's
Farewell Address. The meeting was address
sed in a mastery manner by Mr.. Collins, Mr..
Bradford and Reverdy johnson. We think
tho meeting in the Institute has put quie-
tus on disuuon in Baltimore.

FAITHFUL MINISTERS OF HEALTH.-In eX.
amining the vessels at the various wharves
we find among the curosities of our COM
merc- the brig Miranda, just in from Truxilo
with cargo of Honduras Sarsaparilla fol-
DR.. j. c. Aver & Co., of Lowell. So par
ticular are this firm as to the articles used in
compounding their various remedies, that
they have this drug, like some others they
consume, gathered for them by a skillful a.
gent of their own in the tropical regions oil
its growth. He informs lis that there are
many specifies of this plant. but two of which
are really valuable in medincine; the quail
fes of those are also affected by the time OF
gathering, mode of curing, etc., operations
which in that region of unreliable workmen
imposes a heavy labor upon him. One of
the inert varieties of Sarsaparilla grows wild
in our own forests; while several others,
nearly worthless, abound in Central and
South America. The intelligent agent as
sured us that the virtue of this drug had
never been told, and the reason of the low
esteem in which many hold it is mainly due
to the importation of such vuantilies of the
worthless varieties. His accounts of his
trips to Honduras and his business excursions
along the Gulf of Dulce and the rivers of
Motagua and Santiago and among the ada
cent mountains were of intense interest. -
We can but commend and houor bis en-
ployers for the faithfulness and energy with
which they execute their trust az ministers to
the public health, and we suspect that this
this course Ia at least one of the reasons why
their medicines are held in such e1traordina-
ry favor throughout the civilized world
