The Cash system.

After mature deliberation the Publishers of
this paper have determined to adopt the
CASH SYsTEM. Thy have been led to this
step by the heavy losses experienced from
debts scattered throughout the State, which
they have been unable to collect, the neces-
sity which eompels them to pay cash for Ia
Dor in the printing Office, for paper and other
supplies, and the general adoption of the sys-
TEN On the part of leading houses in all
branches of trade and industry. The cash
system, necessary to protect US. will also be
beneficial to punctual subscribers, inasmuch
as it will rid US of the expense entailed by
nOn-paying subscribers, and enable US to re-
dnce the price of our weekly paper. From
this date, therefore, we shall enter the name
of no person on our books as subscriber,
unless he pays for his paper in advance. And
on the LIST day of July next, We shall erase
from our subscription lists every name not
paid in advance Our weekly paper will be
trrO dollars per annum. Those who have al
ready paid in advance beyond the LIST day of
July, 1861, will be allowed the benefit OF this
reduction from that date.
r We shall keep Uiis notice Standing IA oar
columns until the Isl of July, and, on that day,

There is new feature in the money market, which
is dull at any time since the Inauguration OF the

Prayer Meetings.

MEssRs. EDIrORs:-I saw in your paper Of
the 9Th instant, call for daily prayer meet
ings for the benefit of our volunteers and
country; and as burnt children have cause to
dread the fire, and have been much dam
aged in time, reputation. money and proper
ty, by men that pretended to be the Lord g
people, and made loud, long prayers for 9th
ers to hear, and think such have been much
the cause of the trouble and danger we are
in, and did destroy the peace, happiness lives
and property of many in this and other coun-
tries, will make few remarks for you and
others to think about.
First, Jesus Christ taught his disciples to
pray in private, or in secret. and not as hypo-
critics, to be seen and heard by men. Second,
1 have been told that Washington, Franklin
and such, prayed in private and got the aid
of God and Nations 10 their favor l sup
pose that many that make loud, long prayers
have good motives, though l think they pay
but little respect to the teaching and exam
pies of Christ, Washington and such.
l think we would do we'll to read the SER
mon of Christ in the Mount, the seventh chap
ter of Joshua, and such other parts of the
Bible, and try to prepare for death, liberty
and glory. We have been told that the fear
and love of God, is the beginning of wis
dom, and that the meek shall inherit the
earth, and the mercifnl shall obtain mercy,
and he that exalteth himself shall be abased,
and he that bumbeth himself shall be exalted.
AS such, hope we will try to learn from
such men as Moses, Joshua, Christ, Paul and
Washington, who gave proof by their acts,
that the power of God was with them, and
that we will practice pure religion, and let
our faith be known by our acts: for one crop
of fruit is worth more than ten of blooms,
with all their beauty aud perfume; and in
many things, the difference is as great with
words and acts. And God commanded US to
live by work, and gave us two ears. eyes
and hands, and but On, tongue. Then let us
learn from others, ard do more than We say,
for the time is short we have here to stay;
and from loud long prayers and the dema-
gogues let US keep away, for they and the
churches started our first sectional couten-
ions and divisions, which we should remem-
Der and try 10 guard against; and take good
care OF our soldiers, their wives and children,
and powder, for God will help those who help
themselves and others in accordance with bis
commands. wv. ADHESION,

Capt. Hurley was called to the Chair and
A. Nelson appointed Secretary.
The Mayor ordered an election for Colonel
and Lieut.. Colonel, on Wednesday next, 18th
inst, and the polls will be opened at o.
clock iH the afternoon and closed at 3 O'Clock,
at the usual places of voting in the different
wards, and the members of the different COM
panies will cast their votes for regimental of
ficers- The 4th ward has not yet reported a
company to the Mayor, but it is supposed
that a company will be reported before the
election.
Alter consul alton, the meeting decided to
suggest the following gentlemen for the po-
sitiOns named, as perhaps acceptable to a
majority of the members composing the regi-
ment.
For Colonel Commandant, Major ]. F.

For Lieutenant Colonel. Capt. c. W. Ken
nedy, of the 9Th Ward.
For Chaplain, Rev. Reuben Ford.
For Surgeon, DR.. Robert Martin.
For Assistant Surgeon, DR.. C.. A. Brodie.
OF course these are mere suggestions, the
desire OF all concerned being to organize a
united and harmonious Regiment for the de-
fence and protection of the citizens. We
trust that entire unsnimity will prevail, es-
pecially as no pay is attached to any of the
positions. II.

To THE EDITORS OF THE PATRIoT:-Deem-
ing it my duty to those afflicted, and to the
one who cured me of two malignant Fever
Sores upon my legs, which made my life bur-
densome for five years, having applied to
several physicians who could give me no re-
lief, and trying all kinds of medicine could
get, which was recommended for old Sores
All seemed to fail. l gave up ever being
cured, and wishsd for death to relieve me of
my misery. For many months my limbs
panied me to that extent 1 could get no
sleep, until my father, who. being cured of a
severe Rheumatism by the Indian Doctor,
at No. 100, High street, purchased for me a
bottle of his Blood Purifier and a box of his
All Healing Ointment, which relieved me
Immediately. My legs are now sound and
well. My general health and strength is
better than it ever was in my life. And i'll
owe any man on earth debt OF gratitude,
that man is Doctor Anderson. Iwish every
man, woman and child in the world, who are
afflicted as have been afflicted. who have
suffered as l have suffered, may read this
letter and thus find where they can be cured.
/ am of the opinion his remedies will cure
any sore in existence, and 1 would recon-
mend all thus afflicted to apply to the Indian
Doctor, No. 100 High street, where they can
be relieved of misery, and also be permanent
ly cured. MERTON SANDERS,

CLARA,S POEMS.

We read this elegant volume of poems
several days since, and laid it conveniently
by to await favorable opportunity, that We
might review it with the care and elaborate
ness its merits demand; but that opportunity,
like reckoning phantom, has eluded, and
promises still to elude, our grasp. We shall
therefore say, de neceSsite, and greatly contra
nv to our wishes, lew words touching only
the extrinsic excellence of the work, leaving
its inner or real merits-the merits of the
poems themselves-to the praise of CLARA's
Hdear five hundred friends" all of whom
have impatiently awaited the appearance of
her book, and will read il with pleasure and
admiration.
CLARA and her personal friends may we'll
be proud of this charming volume. 1t iscer-
tainly something TO be proud of. 1t Is sell

have been given to the public in so tasteful

The three engravings lat named are from
designs by the accomplished artist, Col. ID

the printing of the work and to whose
taste it is indebted for much of the
elegance with which it is gotten up.
The poems are preceded by well written
introductory from the pen of the late DR..

ute to the Mus of the authOress-a tribute
the more valuable from the high source from
which 1t emanafes.
As we have already said, we can not, in
this hastily written notice, speak of the mer-

pounded of Malt and Hops, its curative
properties must at once become apparent to
those acquainted with the virtue of either in
gredient. Its manufacture is conducted with

bly, the BEST ALE manufactured either in this
or the old country at the present day.

rious drug, and will not intoxicate. During
the heat of summer, it is the safest aud most

WORTHY ExAMPLE.-The Quarterly Court
of Williamson county, last Monday, levied
tax of Al cents on the 500 of property for
the relief and support of volunteers while in
actual service. The magistrates, all in the
county being present, unanimously voted to
contribute their own per diem to the same
fund. The fund thus raised will amount to
about $1,000.

A PRoBLEM.-A correspondent at Fountain
Creek, Giles county, suggests the following
problem:--"If Maj. Anderson's getting whip
ped at Fort Sumter has made him the greatest
military hero of the North, how much
greater will he be if he should ever be lucky
enough to win battle. suggest it for the
solution of some of odd Abe's' military
mathematicians. odd Fuss and Feathers
NAV be able to solve it."
