10 HIS PATRON.S.

On entering upon the business of new year,
the subscriber would request his former CUSTOM
ers having unsettled accounts with him to make
settlement OF the same at an early day as it has
thus far been customary. AS to the future, he
would say, owing to the present financial, cliu-
ical condition of our country, it seems to him
that we are admonished to use the most rigid
economy the current year at least, and as an
auxiliary. the mercantile community have very
gene ALLY adopted the pay-down system,
Our misfortunes have fallen first on this class
of our citizens, consequently distressing, in some
Instances, their customers. There are many and
conclusive reasons apparent to candid men that
the customer will be as largely benefited as the
merchant under this new arrangemet, it will save
both from ai,ing large amounts at stated periods
often times when it is very perpleXing, sacrif-
cling and unpleasant, the risks Of bad debts, ex.
penae of suits and collection, expense of book
keeping, interest on large stocks OF goods, will
all be saved and the natural competition will give
all of these benefits to the consumer. The
merchant will purchase his goods cheaper and
will sell for less profit for the same pay
have not been an advocate for changes and
experiments especially when present system
works well but from the reasons given, with
many Others made more apparent by the new and
unprecedented change in the affairs OF our coun-
try. am convinced that it Is best to try the ex-
pertinent, believing the community will give it
their sanction. and appreciation.
The subscriber has had an experience of 20
years in the mercantile business, as proprietor ;
and it Is with deep gratitude that he can say,
that many customers have given him their pat
r0nage from the commencement to the pre-, ent
time from this fact and a grateful acknowl-
edgement to the public generally who have
given him liberal share OF their patronage
he asks continuance of their favors.
1t Is still expected that the necessaries of life
will be consumed and the Subscriber would give
notice that he has Just received tres assortment

For the more ehectual annoyance of the enemy, upon our rivers and in our mountains and woods, all citizens of this district acho are not subject to conscTipti0n, are called upon to organize themselves into Independent Compa- nies of Mounted Men, or Infantry, as they pre- fer, arming and equipping themselves, and to serve in that part of the District to which they belong.

When as many as ten men come together for this purpose, they may organize by electing @ Captain, one sergeant and one corporal, and scM Qt once conaD1e'lce operations against tte enemy, without waiting for special instructions. Their duty will be Q cut off federal pickets, scouts, foraging par es and trains, and to Kill pi lots and others on gunboats and transports, at tacking them day a-F3night, and using the great est vigor in their movements. As soon as the company attains the strength required by law, il will proceed to eee the other officers to which 1t is entitled All such organizations will be re- ported to these Headquarters as soon as prac- ticable. They will receive pay and allowances for subsistence and forage for the time actually in the field, as established by the atidavits of their captains.

Establishment of Martial Law over the
 Gttate.

State
 /Owing to the condition of affairs our State is full of thieves and robbers, who seem to be playing their game with great deal of adroit- ness and success-forging the signatures ef our commanding officers to orders for impresSment of all kinds of private property. Other depre- dations and deeds of lawlessness are being daily perpetrated with impunity. The civil althori ties seem to be utterly powerless to afford any relief whatever-in fact there does not appear to be any civif government at all in the State.
 Under these circumstances, Gen. Hindman has wisely deemed it proper, for the protection .of the people, to place the State under martial law. He has divided it into three departments and appointed Provost Marshal for each, with headquarters at convenient and as far as prac ticable, central localities, This Is done not to oppress or annoy, but to protect the loyal citi- zen. It is the only means at hand to afford protection, and every good citizen should lend his earnest assistance to promote its success.
 Our State-every nook and corner of it, is filled with wandering strangers, who come and go seemingly without an object or destination. Many of them are doubtless incendiaries and spies from the enemy, whose sole pnrpose is to do us all the mischief in their power, by de> bauching the slaves, corrupting the ignorant, . and giving information to the enemy. With General Hindman'5 system in successful opera ton every citizen . the State will live in peace ] and safety. The officers he has appointed are of our own people, are capable, faithful and . earnest, and have deep stake in the welfare of those over whom they are placed.
 Some object to thepassport system as trou- blesome and degrading. It is not degrading and is certainly a great convenience to man leaving holne-a passport is simply an indorse- ment of the loyalty of a citizen, and an intro> duction of him to communities where he is not known. It is, too, the only possible way to ar rest the work of spies in our midst, and as such should be cheerfully submitted to by every good 1 citizen.
 We call attention to Gen. Hndman'S proclama. ton or order No. Is.
