To AVOID A CoLD,-Change the stock
ings as often as they become wet from per,
spiration. Avoid cold draughts of air
upon any part of the body, OF unequal
temperature from any cause, such as evap
grafton of moisture from wet clothes on a
portion of the person. The clothing, wet
all over, is less productive of colds than
when partly wet. You might jump naked
into snow bank and not take cold, but
relieve serious injury from immersing only
hand or foot in the snow, while the rest
of the body is kept warm. Unequal TEN.
perature upon different parts of the body
disturbs the circulation of the blood and
produces a cold. The best precaution
however, is to keep the system vigorou.
by temperance, agenerous diet of digestibl,
food. and plenty of sleep.

THE IRISH FAMINE AND EMIGRATION TO AMER1-
cA-The failure of the potato crop, which
threatens Ireland with another famine not less
disastrous than that of lS47-S, will result
in another great exodus of its popula-
ton. The popular mind will be turned
to emigration as the only panacca with
in individual reach in the midst of the
terrible distress that is likely SO soon to over
take that country. The majority of the Irish
peasantry it is true, will be utterly unable to
raise sufficient money to carry them to Ame-
RIGA; but hundreds Of thousands will, with the
scanty means at their disposal, and the assist
ance Of friends already here, succeed in making
their way to the land of the free and the home
Of the brave. For some months past there has
been a large decrease in the number of immi-
grants arriving at this and other Northern
ports; but we may now look forward
to sensible and continued increase in the tide
of immigration. The idea has gone abroad that
this is bad time to come to the United States,
for the reason that employment is said to be
hardly obtainable. But this requires correc-
ton. There never was a period when an az
tive body and strong arm were SO sure of en-
ployment as at present All the avenues Of
industry are open to both the skilled and I'M
skilled laborer, and agriculture is universally
fourishing, while most Of our manufactures are
in brisk demand. Moreover, there is the army
open to all, in which privates daily pay is
equal to many laborers weeks wages in
Ireland, besides good rations camp and cloth
ing. We can readily absorb the surplus popu-
lation Of Ireland or any other country. Our
resources are so vast that all who come will
find ample field for honest industry; and in q
hundred years time, and with hundred mil
lions more people, it will be said as now, the
more the better.

The COrToN QUESTION AND THE BLOCKADE
One of the first measures of the rebel govern
ment was to prohibit the export of cotton, and
to declare that not pound Of it should 60 to
supply the wants Of Europe. This was stroke
to compel England to force our blockade and
thus get her into war with this country Fail
ing to accomplish this, even by the suavc whs-
perings Of the rebel Commissioners, we find that
orders are issued now to burn all the cotton on
the approach of the Union troops. Apart from
the uselessness of this proceeding, it will only
have the effect of showing what the object Of
the rebel States is and it will convince the gov
ernments of Europe that they are determined
that they shall have no cotton, unless they con-
sent to be driven into our domestic quarrel.
Such spirit will hardly help the chances OF
recognition by foreign governments.

this question. In North Carolina especially We
find that discomfort among her soldiers is rife,
and that in one case an officer Colonel Single

against rebel despotism, which, it seems, has
ramifed through several counties. All these
signs mark an approaching retrogression to the
good old Union and the honored flag that has
foated above it on land and sea for three quar-
ters Of a century; and if our government only
avals itself, with vigor, of these signs OF the
times in the rebel States, the solution OF our
difficulty may be nearer at hand than we
imagine.

AN EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS WITH THE
REBEIs.--We learn, from the communications
which are passing between the government and
the families Of our officers and soldiers now in
prison at the South, as well as by our despatch
es from Washington and Boston, that the gov
eminent is taking into serious consideration
general exchange of prisoners with the rebels, or
rather mutual release on parole of the prison
ers which we hold--an equal number to be re-
leased by the rebels. If this measure is carried
out we shall probably soon have all our soldiers
who are now in confinement back again in their
homes.
This intention on The part of the government
is being adopted rs matter of humanity; but
it is rendered the more desirable from the hor-
rible treatment which our officers and men are
receiving in Southern prison houses. 1t would
hardly be believed that in any civilized COM
munity prisoners of war could be treated as our
soldiers are by the rebels; and one wonders how
any Of our race could submit their fellow cti-
zens, as well as their fellow beings to the bru-
tai discipline of the Southern jails Many of
the prisoners are half starved, naked and de-
prived Of the ordinary decencies of life. They
are compelled to dwell in filth and disease.
Some Of our officers, high in rank who have
been accustomed to every comfort have been
denied the privilege of changing their linen for
three weeks together and they are limited to
the miserable diet of bread and water, with the
relish of a pint of thin soup day.
In The face Of these facts it is time that gov
eminent should make an effort to relieve our
prisoners from their barbarous jailors When
the rebellion is over the rebels afterwards cap
tured and held to account can receive their
deserts.

Why DoN'T You ADyKRrIsE2-To business
men who are complaining of the duuness of be
times, we address these few remarks. Why
don't you advertise? 1t is just the thing to
help you out of your dificulties-to bring you
cash customers and plenty of patronage. In
times like these it is the cash purchasers that
read the advertisements, to post themselves
where to get the best bargains. There is no
mistake about tit is no humbug. If you can
offer the public any advantages to make their
purchases of you, lose no time to inform them
of the fact. Do not lament over duh times
STEPHEN GiRARD always embraced that opportu-
nifty to extend his advertisements during dull
times and revulsion in business. He said
"where SO many tighlened their purse strings
and ceased advertising, he took great pains to
extend his in very judicious manner. and in
form the public that he was still prepared to
offer them good inducements. In some cases
after man has ordered his advertisements to
be discontinued, we have heard the question
asked whether such person has not retired from
business? There is nothing unreasonable about
sueh.a questions in times like the present. 1t
contains more truth than poetry. Cash buys
consult advertisements more than you think"

From Jefferson CITY. Mo-.

A special dispatch from Jefferson City
to the St. Louis Democrat, dated July II,
says:
General George R. Smith, of Pettis
county, arrived here to-day, with some 9TH
er prominent citizens from there, request
ing Col. Boernstein to send troops. to
Georgetown. A strong Secession force of
about six hundred men, with three pieces
of artillery, is encamped six miles above
Georgetown, under command of Magoffin,
brother of the Governor of Kentucky,
committing depredations and numbering
Union men,: These gentlemen went from,
here with the steamer january to Boon
vile, and Col. Stevenson will probably, by
combined movement with Col. BoerD
stein and the Home Guards all around,
drive those lawless marauders out Of Pet
lis county. ~ :.
A brisk firing was heard this afternoon
in Galloway County, in The direction of
Fulton --en s @r ~.
There is a renewed Secession movement
all over the country around here. Night
ly meetings are held and armed men con
gregate IN the woods. There seems no
doubt that the plan of the Secessionists is
to make an attack upon Jefferson City du-
ring the sitting of the Convention. But
eight hundred to one thousand Home
Guards will be concentrated here at that
time, and Col. Boernstein is prepared to
give the Secessionists warm reception if
they dare to come.
The Secession movement in Upton yes
terday was easily subdued by sixty men,
under Captain Lusk. The town was su :
rounded, and eighteen prisoners brought to
Jefferson City, among them three preach
ers who preached on last Sunday that ev-
cry Union man ought to be stabbed, and
that the Secessionists ought to wade up to
their knees in the blood of the Union men.
The excitement of the soldiers against
these three worthy ministers was so great
that it was deemed prudent to send the
prisoners by the January to Boonville in
order to save their lives, which were seri-
ously threatened.
