'he Dry Goods Jobbing OF PfttsburRh


Pittsburgh is assuming her usual &C.
tivity in her business departments. In
no particular is the fact more manifest,
than in that of the Wholesale Dry Goods,
or Jobbing business 1t has long been
known here that our jobbers possess nu-
merous advantages over Eastern houses,
which enable them, not only to lay in as
large and varied stocks of fashionable
goods as can be found elsewhere, but ac-
tually to sell them cheaper, and on alto
gether better terms. And why not? It
costs them no more to import goods than
it does their Eastern contemporaries.
They can and do visit the trade sales and
commission houses of the great Eastern
markets, and duplicate the bids of their
more pretentious rivals, while it costs
them only about one-half to keep up
their establishments at home.
We have now some eight or nine
houses of this kind in our city, all doing
thriving and steadily increasing busi.
ness. During the last eighteen months
their sales to Western Houses have in
creased over those of former years, from
thirty to forty per cent, and it only re-
quires them to push their business, and
present their claims and superior advan-
tages thoroughly before the merchants
of Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Virginia,
and other Western States, in order to Sc
cure their entire trade.
A notable feature in the sales of the
last year or two is, that the character of
the merchants who deal with them has
entirely changed. Some of the largest,
shrewdest, and best posted business men
of the trade are now their regular custo-
mers, and the closer and older buyers
they are, the more readily they purchase
in this market, and for the simple reason
that they knoao the advantages they Sc
euro. We have not particle of doubt
but that in year or two the jobbing
business of Pittsburgh will be doubled,
and even trebled. We would urge coun-
try merchants to visit this locality be-
fore going on to farther and more ex-
pensive markets. We are satisfied that
in most instances they can buy better
and cheaper, besides saving time, freights
and expenses.
On our third page will be found the
advertisement of WILSON, M'ELRoY &
Co., one of the best, most substantial
and most prominent of these above-men-
toned houses. They are now preparing
for the Spring business, and can accom-
modate their friends to any extent, and
in every article in the jobbing line.

Prediction.

The Memphis Aryus of the 9th inst,
after stating that New Madrid, then in
possession of, and strongly fortified by,
the rebels, was the key to the whole
lower Mississippi, gave assurance to its
readers that the place was impregnable,
and that tie "Lincoln hordes" but
sought their own graves if they made
an attack upon the place. 1t said:
Nothing but an overwhelming force can
euer succeed in ,0hipping us at Madrid.-
The approach to that place by land can
only be Effected By the plankroad, ,ohich
1eadsinto that place on the ,oest, and ,ohich
the army hare used.
The road Is through s,oamp, .ehich
Is too muddy even for General Thon,pson's 5
command. As tho Unionists ,oiH be COM
PEELED to march in the road on their ap-
proach to the toaon, our gunboats, under
command of the ueteran, Commodore Hoz-
tns, aosH be the death of n,anyo Hessian.
The largest guns sohich the enemy can
bring to bear upon oar forces are and
IL. Founders, .,ohils zoe can play upon
them ,oith heavier ordnance.
Such was the confidence of the rebels
in their strong hold at Madrid. But
the prediction of the Argus was hardly
fulfilled by the defeat of the rebels
their disgraceful fight from the place,
leaving their guns, ammunition, tents
and provisions to fall into our hands
If the place was fortified by so good
General and was SO hard to take, the
more credit is due to Gen. Pope for its
capture.

~The rumor is, as we go to press,
that the food is about to drive the rebels
from their stronghold on Island No.
l0. We hope this may be true, as more
than a weeks bombardment by our
gun and mortarboats seem to have made
but slight impression.
We stated in our last, on the author
lty OF the city papers, that the Island
was then taken. This proved to be un
true. At last accounts, the lombard
ment was still in progress.

Wool Carding.
To the Farmers of RIei:s county:

- us W NACADS
N7E again call your attention to the fact
w that we are prepared to execute all or
ders for CARDING or GRINDING, at our Mill.
near the Courthouse, in Pomeroy.
The reports we have from our work of last
year fully confirms us in the belief that it has
given general satisfaction in quantity and
quality of rolls, proportioned to the cleanli-
ness, quantity and quality of Wool This fact,
together with the necessity of the most rigid
economy, in view of the great and pressing
wants of our Government, which must be sus-
tanned in this her hour of greatest peril, at any
and all sacrifices and also the scarcity and
high price of cotton, and the uncertainty of fu-
ture supplies, induces US to believe that large
amount of Wool will be worked up the coming
season; and have therefore prepared ourselves
accordingly, by putting our machines in the
best of order, and securing the services of Mr..
DAVID JENKINS, a former owner of the mill
and the best Carder in the county.
While we thank you for past favors, permit
US to admonish every one whe3 can pl ccure a
pound of Wool, to bring it to us, well cleansed,
tuslng as little soap as possible,) with one
pound of clean grease to every Tbs of Wool, SO
that we can grease it ourselves, just before
working, and We will insure good work.

Senator.

We regret to see spirit of faction
and party spirit in the Legislature of
Ohio, which is likely to prevent the
election Of u. s. Senator. That Wade
is the almost unanimous choice of the
truly loyal citizens of the State, is not
pretended to be denied. Indeed, it is
simply because he is SO, that the spirit
of faction has set itself to work to de-
feat him.
This is the more Notifying, because

Some weeks ago we wrote an article

Some weeks ago we wrote an article
especially for the Clergy. We ar,
happy to be able to prese Mt respons,
to-day. An article signed "clericus'
will be found in another column. ans
will be read, we are sure, with deep in.
terest. There is an open, ingenuou,
frankness in the communication, which
cannot fail to affect every liberal mind
What liue soul will not be touched by
the evident sincerity and truthfulness
with which the writer speaks of the po.
sition and habits of his profession?-
This friendly response has moved us
profoundly, and we should like to give
full expression to our emotions, but
have not space at present.
We welcome the writer to our COL
umns, and from the spirit manifested,
and the promise of other articles inti-
mated, we believe he will find his field
OF usefulness enlarged-the shackels of
an unfortunate habit broken-his "sym-
pathiss with the living age" brought
more fully into action-and through the
incentives of this new "ministry," the
"tread-wheel" routine, forced upon the
profession, by custom, will be exchanged
for the freedom that will beget new sin
spirations" as the consciousness of ex-
tended influence and increased power to
do good is developed. And we cannot
but think that others of the profession
will take like view of the subject, and
act accordingly.
What is said about the instructive
hatred of the profession for newspapers,
IS, We think, to be classed with some
ether "errors." We frankly admit that
the secular press has given abundant
occasion for all good men to view it with
aversion. But the very faults-the
vices-the vulgarity, and deep degrade
tion to which many conductors of the
press descend, should, we think, be an
incentive for good men to do
all they can to counteraot its bad inAu-
snces. But this cannot be done by
shatred" or denuneiations. 1t can only
be done by correcting the taste and SEN
timent Of their readers. But the read
ers of such sheets do not often attend

And may it not be, thatthe retiring hab-
to 'ofthe profession" placing them out.
'ide Of the sphere of the living world, is
'ne cause of this degeneracy7
So far as we are concerned, whatever
character we have given to the Telegraph,
'ur purpose has been, and is, to make it
IN elevator instead of degrader of So
'iety. For good or for evil, it is neces-
'arily exerting an immense influence
lpon the community. We want that
influence to be pure, healthful, refining,
'levating. And for this purpose we
laVe invited the cooperation of those
rho feel an interess in the welfare of
'ociety, and have the ability to do good.
But for the belief that the Telegraph is
loing at least some good, not another
heet would be issued by US. But we
lesire to make it the instrument of far
higher and better influence than it is
ret. And this letter encourages us to
'elieve we will succeed. We shall ex-
