The firm of FULLINGS, SPRINGS & co. was dis
solved by limitation the lst January, 1861.
The business will be continued under the name and
style of FULLlNGS SPRINGS, and they hope, by
integrity and strict attention business merit the
same patronage heretofore literally bestowed by their
numerous friends and customers
The present financial crisis and the uncertainty of
business, for the future compel shorten time
of credit from twelve to six months to prompt paying
customers-none others need ask it.
All persons indebted to the old firm of Fullings,
Springs Co., must come forward and make immediate
settlement as it is absolutely necessary that the bust
be speedily closed up "a word to the wise is suf-
cient." Jan Is, 1861.

NORTHERN ITEMS.

Openly Dcfant-The people of Belfast, Maine,
arc greatly agitated by the arrival Of number of
boxes in that city from Boston, containing mus
kets, cartridges, and other munitions of war,
which have gone into the hands of about 200 men +,
who have openly proclaimed their disoyalty TO the
government and organized themselves into a COM
pany, without any authority from the State, de-
claring it their object to resist any attempt made
10 draft any member in their ranks into military
service and the payment of war taxes.
The Boston Courier says:
As our readers have learned, the United States
Marshal in Philadelphia seized all the copies of
the New York Daily News which arrived there,
as well those destined for ulteror points at the
South and West The Marshal also took posses
sion Of the Office of the Christian Observer, in
consequence of late vrulent article on 1.-The un-
holy war" The Marshal, it is to be presumed,
acted under instructions from the government If
So We must say we are sorry to see our Government
in this respect initiating some Of the most objee-
tionable proceedings of despotisn Of the four
memorable ordinances which cost Charles y. his
throne, the fret and most important was that which
suspended the liberty of the press, and directed
that no print or journal should be published with
out authorization. Are we coming to this2 Is

AS soon as the tidings Of the route at Manassas
