VINO 70 TRADE wTm.--An exchange
paper very aptly and truthfnlly remarks :
Before you go shopping read the Adver-
tisements ola newspaper. The man who
adyertises literally Is q liberal dealer; he
sells more goods than old fogies who hide
their lights under a bushel, and is therefore
able 70 sell cheaper"
That's sound. 1t rings clear. No bet
ter index Of the business capacity OF a mer.
chant can be found than his advertiser lent.
HE that lows sparingly reapeth sparingly, '
says the best authority in existence, and
ytce rersa, i'll merchant advertises his good
literally tho impression at once takes hole
Of, the community that he has goods to sci
and inteudstD do It. A rush to his estab
lishment is the consequence. He sells hi
goods, and with the proceeds fills up hi
stock again, thus making a quick return
while his slsspy seighbor, who signs for TIT
good old days Of ''long ago." fails to keel
up with the spirit of the age, and waits fol
chance to bfng customers to his counter
Anybody who reads the advertisements il
this paper can tell at a glance who to buy
their goods from. Some of our business
men are very backward in advertising
thinking, perhaps, it don't pay" but W,
would say to such, just try the experiment
We say again, buy your goods Of al
kinds from those who advertise. -lM'Con'

And: III D
WHEREAS questions will probabl,
arise as to the e~xrediency Of locating NJ
Armory and Arsenal in the interior Of tn,
State, where tho facilities for construction

stone and coal abound in great proflsion
with all other facilities necessary to such a
establishment. And
WHEREAS, the people Of Ohio claim tn,
right to such location somewhere within tn,

The Baltimore correspondent of N. Y.
Herald tells the following interesting story,
which we do not remember to have seem
before:
On Friday. February IA, Gen. Johnstop,
who was then preparing 10 evacute Bowling
Green, sent q telegraphic dispatch to Gen.
Pillow, asking him il he needed any more
troops; If he did, he would send him all ho'
wanted Immediately. Johnston could have
done this, rs there was q direct railroadcom-
munication between them, with plenty Of
cars. But Pillow mover got the Dispatch.
At the end Of the telegraph lne nearest To-
Fort Donelson was an operator who vas q
Unionist at heart, although be- did not dare
to express his sentiments. He exert the dis
patch, therefore, instead Of forwarding il to
Pillow, and on the next day, Saturday, tsls-
graphed back in Pillows name to General
Johnston, saying that he had no need Of re-
endorsements, and that he was ~abundantly
able to'maintaiu bis position. On Saturday
evening he again telegraphed to Johnston in
Pillows name, stating that he was fighting
gloriously aud would be able on the next
day to drive of the Union troops. On ~
ceiving these dispatches, purporting to come
from Pillow, General Johnston took no steps
to sde6or the rebels at Fort Donelson, and
they we're forced to surrender. The decsp-
ton Of the operator was discovered, and he
capturedjust Is hewastrying TO roach the

March %, 1862.
We are still waiting at this point the ar
rival of the much talked of gunboat feet,
from which we have heard q great deal du-
ring the past ten days in the way Of burst
Ing shells and siekly fattery of hired news
paper . correspondents but of which we
have seen "nary" a boat, and, We fear, un.
less there shall be a land movement out

cupsncy Of his position on Island No. 10 Of

70 fall back.
Our readers will, utter the above probably,
come 10 the conclusion that VIC are not very
favorably impressed with the efficiency Of
sunboats. Gunboats would, no doubt, prove
. terrible adversary in n contest with wooden
steamers and sailing vessels, and upon the
ocean OF coast might be a vely formidable
engine of war but here on the Mississippi
where the approach is from a single direc'
ton, and where a well posted battery on
shore will command tho entire river foi
,sveral miles each way, and where the rapid
current would soon place tho disabled boat
eithor from a shot or the arrangement o
her machinery within the reach Of tn
enemy, wo doubt very much whether thu
good results from their operations will
equal what might have been accomplished
by an equal expenditure of money in thu
ordinary channels Of warfare. These opin
ions may be wrong, but after our expert
