ABOUT ADVERTISING.

We respectfully submit to the consid-
GRAFTON of business men, the following
sensible scrap, which we clip from an
Eastern paper. It looks to MS very
much as if there was sound, practical
business philosophy in it. And if it
should strike any of our business men
in the same light, they may try the ex-
pertinent if they choose. We don't
charge them anything for the sagges-
tive article; but if they take advantage
Of it, VIC claim part of the profits
Here is the item alluded to:
IA leading patron of q publishing
house in one of the Eastern cities, who
had been advertising extensively during
thc past winter, being interrogated in
regard to the policy of such a course
during hard times, replied: The very
time of all others to crowd, sir; give us
the field when few advertisers occupy
it, and We care not how hard the times
are. It pays US at all times, because we
know how far to go; but especially it
pays us in times like the present, when
most of the business men in our line
have taken their hooks out of the water,
thinking ne bites are to be had. We
are satisfied nothing has kept us a con-
slant run Of trade for the last ninety
days, but pushing our notices through
the dull season.

Did You Ever Think of It.
A great many people have sons. bro

"A great many people have sons, broth
ers, husbands, and fathers in the army.
But everybody has cousins there
Perhaps you never thought Of it, but
the fact is 50, nevertheless, and it being
the fact, ought to make ms all feel q
deeper interest, if possible, in the
moveseuts Of the day. A young lady
who was not supposed to have any re-
lations in the war, was seen to shed
pearly tears As she waved her handker-
chief to passing regiment. On being
asked if she had any relatives among
them, she replied, ayes! Cousins. -
How many cousins have you, was asked?
why, the whole regiment; amt they
all UNCLE SANS BoYs?'' she replied.
It is even SO. The soldiers are "Uncls
Sans boys" and the "boys' of an
are Cousins" and, conse-
quently, all the Union soldiers are our
cousins. Let us, therefore, remember
them in all the ways in which we can
encourage, cheer, sustain, a.d comfort
them or their families.

Alarm iM Louisiana,

The New Orleans papers publish the
following proclamation from the Gov
ernor of Louisiana:
fstloao- citizens and Soldiers: Iaddress
you to-day in a double capacity-as
Governor and as Commander Chief
A call has been made upon me by Cen
eral Beauregard for {, 900 men to defend
the Mississippi Valley, and with it your
loved State, this beautiful city, and more
than all, our homes and those dearer
than all else, save honor. The lageard
and the bastard await the foe at the yery
shrine OF the sanctuary. It is the part
OF the brave and noble hearted to meet
him at the threshold or beyond it; and
did we choose any other position, we
would be false to our history and tradi-
tIons, recreant to our brothers blood
which stains the hard-fought fields Of
Virginia and Missouri, and unworthy of
the high gift of independence sanctified
by the blood of patriot martyrs.
This is not the hour for vain regrets
and dependency. No, not even for
hesitation. An insolent and powerful
foe Is already at the castle gate; the cur
rent of the mighty river speaks to us of
his advancing for our destruction, and
the telegraph wires tremble with the
news of his advancing columns. In the
name of all most dear to US, I eutreat
you to go and meet him! A brave Gen
eral, our fellow citizen, calls for YOU.
and his patriot heart feels you will come.
Laurels have already clustered around
his brow, and he calls on you to share
with him new honors and new victories.
Sacrifices must be made; but, the recoI-
lection OF them will nerve your arm in
the day of battle and make dearer YOUR
successes.
Fathers, husbands, brothers, lovers,
your country calls you! Citizens, your
property and your rights are in danger!
Will you not go? The hour for glorious
action is upon US, let it not pass un-
needed by. General Beauregard does
his fellow-c citizens the honor to wish
them at his side in the hour of trial.
A special messenger, member of his
staH, DR.. Chopin, waits to return to him
glorlousresponse. Upon volunteering,
you will be ordered to General Beaure-
gard, at Jackson, Tennessee, and, in
few weeks, when the necessity is past,
you will return victorious, or leave your
names as martyrs embalmed in our hearts.

Governor and Commander-in-C Chief.

"On to Richmond"

A Washington letter writer ON the
18th inst, says:
There will be no pause in the advance
Of cur armies upon Richmond, and
within month it is hoped that the
rebel Capital will be in our hands. As
the Chronicle to-day notices the fact, it
can do no harm to say that very many
Of our regiments were yesterday evi-
IDENTIFY preparing for grand movement
Observation-Disclosures to push on against
the enemy, down upon Gordonsville, or
to some other point, is not known
General McCall's division has been very
busy opening the Hampshire and Lou
don Railroad to Leesburg. It is ex-
pected that the trains will be running
by the end of this week. As the track
has been laid across Long Bridge, cars
can run from Baltimore to Manassas or
Leesburg. Now that the Potomac is
open, supplies for the army will come
up the river to Alexandria, and there
be transported to Manassas or Leesburg.
Gen. McClellan's address to his Poto-
mae army exeites considerable attention
here, and is consider ed to indicate
purpose to push on against the enemy
with the least possible delay. It is
said that the General is confident of a
speedy battle or the immediate evacua-
tion Of Virginia by the rebels.

CONNECTION.

CORRECTION.
Two weeks ago, in speaking of the
curtailment of the size of most of ou,
exchanges, we said that, so far as we
knew, the Telegraph alone, of all the
county papers, maintained its ample pro
portions. In this we find we were mis-.
taken. The Delaware Gazette still
comes to US the size of the Tsleoraph.
and we'll filed at that, although over
fifteen of its columns are wholly oc-
cupied with advertisements. And in
looking over these advertisements, we
were struck with the apparent fact, that
every business man in the place must be
an advertiser, as every branch of trade is
there represented. This shows a very
healthy state of things, and one that is
gradually being adopted here, as will be
seen by the new names announced eyery
week.
