An APPEAL 10 Our FRIEEDs-REAp IT Alive
have several times in the past three months APP
pealed to our friends who owe US for job-work, adj
vertsipg and subscriptions, to come forward and
pay up the sums due US, and whilst some of them
promptly responded with the money, most Of them
paid no attention whatever to our CALL 1t was true
that we needed money greatly, them yet with the
little we were able to collect, and what took in
fot job work, every day, managed to get along,
Notwithstanding so manv withheld The amounts due
US, on old accounts. Now, however, we have to APP
peal to our friends, who are owing us, with ear
nestness which we never did before. They must
come up to our aid, or we can not get along. 1t
has become to be absolutely indispensable that
they shall pay US. The small daily income that we
have heretofore had from jobwork and advertising,
has now failed for with the interruption of COM
mercial aud mercantile business, the printer is de-
prived of his main reliance for cash receipts, We
are doing now scarcely anything more than print
ing our weekly paper. Job-work and advertising
are almost entirely stopped and our only depend
snce, now, must be upon those whom we have cred
tied for subscriptions and job-work They must pay
Ui We appeal to their sense of justice, and to their
honor. We want every man that owes us anything,
when he reads this, to consider that we call upon
him, personally, as an honest man, to pay us an
ONCE. Ii all will do this, we can get along; but
II any fail, or refuse to do it, we cannot.
We shall be satisfied if during the continuance n
troubles, and the suspension of business, get
In money enough to pay office expenses and we
think we may certainly claim and expect that much
Now, friends, don't let this appeal be in vain.-
Let each one respond to it promptly. The amount
due us ia made up of small sums, and the payment
of the largest individual bill will scarcely be fell
BY the payer. Our people are paying out theii
money literally for arms for defence, which is right
noble patriotic, and they. ought just as willingly
and promptly pay us who have furnished them our
paper SO long, and waited SO patiently for the pay

We look for a generous response from our subscri-
bers who are In arrears. We believe that all who

end of ten years sooner, if tue State wishes to
take them up, and can get them, at not over par
To meet the interest these bonds, and to create

the 800 of merchandise bought in OF out Of the
State for sale in it, shall be levied and collected

The corporate authorities OF towns and cities are
empowered to levy and collect tax on property

ATTENTION CAPTAns--A correspondent asks us
TO inform him, through our columns, what are the
duties of Militia Officers from the highest down TO
the lowest grade. To do this 1t would be necessary
to republish the entire law upon the subject, and
we have not space, even were such republication
essential. If understand the real source OF en-
barTassnent-as set forth by the numerous appli-
cants for international is the right of Captains to
call their Companies together for drill--how often
can they do this, and what the penalties for DISC
bedence. To make this point clear, we shall copy
the third section Of an act passed on the 3lst Of
January last, from which il win be seen that Cap
tains have the legal right to call their companies
together day in every month and, eff course, to
fine the absentees who have no sufficient excuse for
non-attendance. And although the law restricts
the calls to once month, we hope that no Compa-
ny will object to a drill once week that they may
be sooner and better prepared to meet the pressing
emergency of the times Here is the section refer
red to:
SEc. 3. Be il further enacted, That should 1t be
necessary, in the opinion Of the several CAPTAINS
of companies of the militia of this State in order
to perfect the military efficiency of their compa-
mics, musters and drills should be had oftener than
now required by law, said captains may muster and
drill their said companies Us often as one day in
each and every month.
