RESIGNED AND COME HoME.--We inadvertently

home in this place, of our young townsman CLAY

time, aud when Clay left, there remained but very
few boys from the South. Our young friend, We

An APPEAL 10 OUR FRTENDs--RBAD IT ALt.--We
have several times, in the past three months APP
pealed to our friends who owe US for job-work, adj
vertsing 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 then; yet with the
little we were able to collect and what we took in
for job-work, every day, we managed to get along,
notwithstanding 50 many withheld the amounts due
us, on old accounts. Now, however, we have to ap-
peal to cur 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
has now failed; for with the interruption of COM
mercial and 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
euce, now, must beupon those whom we have cred.
tied for subscriptions and job-work They must pay
isl We appeal TO their sense of justice and to their
honor We wantevery man that owes us anything,
when he reads this to consider that we call upon
him. personally as an honest man, to pay us, AT
ONCE. If all win do this, we can get along; but
| if any fail, or refuse to do it, we cannot.
We shall be satisfied if during the continuance Of
troubles and the suspension of business we can 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 is made up of small sums and the payment
of the largest individual bill will scarcely be felt
by the payer. Our people are paying out their
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 patiently for the pay,
without getting ii, till yet
We look for q generous response from our subscri-
bers, who are In arrears. We believe that all who
intend to pay us at ALL at all will do so, now, gers
soon: and believing this, we shall, on the lst Of
June stop the paper to all who shall not thep have
paid up, III

disastrous failures had OCCURRED there, and nearly
half of the stores on Broadway were closed, and

both sections, but far more disastrous to the North
than to us. Our patronage has sustained her mer.
chants, run her mills, and sailed her ships while
they have contributed nothing essential, to us; and
