country, to and for the use of the enemies of
the Union, Deputy Surveyor has been ap-
pointed at this place, in the person of A.
Merithew, who is discharging his duties
faithfully, Notwithstanding the continued

ceeding as useless, expensive, sc. This pre-
caution, it is conceded by the great maiori-

the avenues were not yet closed, and re !,

Eulow and Shadoan's company, are now ar

| The columns of the Democrat of to-day

mature and lengthy discussion-in which
the devil and the ex~barber "shivered q
lancen-the aforesaid squibs were perpe-
trated, three in number, two of which were
fatnered by the ex-barber, whose literary
abilities have long been subject of COM
ment among the reading public, but which,
l regret to say, are now used in an effort TO
array the Democratic party against the
friends Of the Union. What good would a

Jones L Co? IF this be so, and fear it is,
we warn you that your party will be small.
The Democrat has adopted strange policy,
/ a policy which is decidedly inconsistent
with its professions of devotion to the Un~
ion. It's columns are filed with bitter
thrusts at the Administration, Scott, and
