THE VERMONT BRTGADE.-We learn indi-
rectly that official intelligence has been re-
ceived from Washington that Maj, Halsey
(paymaster) has been endeavoring to get the
Vermont soldiers into the allotment system,
but that they expect an agent to take charge
Of their money. This is as we supposed it
would be. Our correspondence to-day touch
es this point. A payment is to be made inn
mediately; and to meet the exigency, day,
on motion of Senator Elmunds, both houses
promptly authorized the Governor to send on
an agent. We learn also that the num-
Der of sick in the Vermont brigade, few
days ago, amounted 10 almost a toholc regiment
out of the .fve--or nearly one-ffth The num-
Der reported was 76l, of which 233 were
comparatively recent cases and the opinion
was expressed by Cen. Brooks that it was far
more important to take care of the men now
in the field, than to send on another regiment.
We are happy to add that some of the neces-
/ stiles Of the soldiers have been supplied by
the Federal Government, and also that the
Second Regiment is comparatively healthy.
See correspondence.

ADVERTISING IN DULL TUNES

1t is useless to dictate to business men
about advertising. We have seen one
horse traders and third-rate merchants
who were dogmntic in their assertions
that advertising don't pay" But when
we look ut the fact that they languish in
poverty, while single advertiser in New
York pays $sl, to one newspaper in
one year, and grows rich at it, we can
scarcely credit the assertion.
There are those, among the shrcwdest
and most successful, who advertise with
renewed zeal just when others get scared
and quit. We have just become acquaint-
ed with case in point. Business is very
Dublin Philadelphia, manufacturing estab-
lishments not making expenses, some
Wholesale dealers have gone into liquida-
ton, and others are selling at retail; but
in some of the old retail stores the crowd
Of buyers is tremendous, three or four
deep nj the counters. a correspondent OF
n New York paper says of this fact: 81
note curious coincidence touching this

same coincidence in 1851. remember
various men who in that crisis kept them
selye from falling by misunderstanding.
That cxpedient brought them customers
enough to put them out of debt. People
make the grand mistnke OF assuming that
in times like these nobody has got any
money. No m:stake could be greater
Monsy can be had for almost anything a
man has to sell, by extensively advertising
it."
To make the application: The Inteiligen-.
Ger has circulation several times greater
than the accustomed circulation of papers
in Wheeling. It's advertisements are all
conspicuous. We believe now is the time
to advertise.

Crolvner's Quest Queries.


Some of those who are honored by be-
ing our contemporaries have been making
some rather severe remarks upon the sort
of questioning in which divers Attorneys
(begging the worlds pardon for using such
u word during holidays when peace and
happiness should prevaiD indulge them
selves, and earn their pay, before COro-
ner's Jury. Our contemporaries allege
that some of these persons ask questions
of n ridiculous character. severance, rstth-
er than upon eliciting truth. Ar. Punch,
who defends the Attorneys upon all OccA-
sions, is grieved to read such charges, and
declares them to be wholly unfounded. If
Attorneys go on in the following kind of
way, for instance, it is arrogance in the
non-professional mind TO suppose that the
legal mind has not some subtle intent, and
to loubt that it is plunging headlong into
the well ut the bottom of which Truth is
known to lie.
