Advertising in Dull Times.

We commend the following article from
the Indianapolis Journal, relative to the
propriety of advertising in dull times, with
the single remark that the Evansville Jour
nal has now a circulation double that of any
former period, aud consequently renders the
advertisements in its columns, doubly ad-
vantageous to those inserting them:
1t is useless to dictate to business men
about advertising. We have seen one
horse ira ers and third-rate merchants who
were dogmatic in their assertions that "ad-
veTtis.ug don't pay" But when we look
at the fact that they languIsh in poverty,
while Henry c. Spauldng pays $3l 600 to
one newspaper 10 one year, and grows rich
at it, we can scarcely credit the assertion.
There are those, among the shrewdest
and most successful, who advertise with re-
newed zeal just when others get scared and
quit. We have just become acquainted
with a case in point. Business is very dull
in Philadelphia, manufacturing establish
ments not making expenses, some whole
sale dealers have gone into liquidation,
and others are selling at retail; bat in some
of the old retail stores the crowd of buy
ers is tremendous, three or four deep at the
counters. A correspondent of New York
paper says of TINS ftct: Il note a curious
coincidence touching this matter-thuse
who advertise the most are selling The most
goods. ! noticed the same coincidence in
1857. remember various men who Ia
that crisis saved themselves from falling by
extensive advertising. That ezpedient
brought them cash customers enough to
put them out of debt. People make the
grand mistake of assuming that 10 times
like these nobody has got any money. No
mistake could be greater. Money can be
bad for almost any hing a man has to sell,
ny extensively advertising it"

New YORK, Oct. 25.-Mr. Packard, ma
tie of Maine, but fugitive from Florida,
who arrived on the Florida, yesterday, COM
municates- the fact that Col. Brown had
made all MS arrangements tn open his hat
teres ca Pensacola on the l6 h, and that
he was prevented by the atf,ir at the
mouth of the Mississippi, which made it
necessary for two of the ships which were
to take part in the action to go TO the
blockading fleets assistance.
Private accounts from the Upper Po;o-
mac, this morning, state that our soldiers
reported missing are coming in from time

ACaU.TA, Ca, Oct l8.-Dates from Pen

was sent from Fort Pickens to Gen Bragg,
yesterday, stating that the prisoners would
be. sent to New York on Sunday. The cor
respondent the Atlanta Ga. Intelligeucer,
in giving an account CT the fight at Santa
Rosa, says, scarcely know whether we
achieved victory or defeat. A seige is
momentarily expected to commence and ev-
cry preparation has been made. Perhaps it
will happen soon as the dead and wounded
have been cared for and the soldiers rested
from fatigue.

Sketch of G en-. z. D. Baker.

General Edward D. Baker, who was killed
on Monday at the head of his brigade in the
charge upon the enemy near Leesburg, was
q native of the State of Illinois, and g great
personal friend of President Lincoln. who,
IN the behalf of Mr.. Baker, resisted the at
tack upon him By the California delegation
shortly after the inauguration. General
Baker was Representative in Congress
from illinois during the years '46and AT and
was subsequently, Senator for the new state
of Oregon. General Bakers military career
shows that this is not his first campaign,
for we find that in July, 1916, be was Col :
onel of the 4th regiment of twelve months
Illinois volunteers in the Mexican war, and
commanded the brigade of General Shields
after his fall He was we'll distinguished
in the battle of Cerro Gordo. He received
his discharge in May, l847. In a military
capacity be was not again known until the
present troubles commenced, when at the
