The call forfoo,ooo volunteers has been nobly
responded to by the citizens of this State, and
our quota Is full. But the old regiments are not
full, and to avoid the draft, volunteers must come

the bounty.
Volunteers arc resolved at Camp Mcclellan uni

EDWARD HARRIS, Esq, the manufac-
turer of the " Harris Cassimeres, resides
and has his manufactory in WOonsocket
Rhode Island, where he gives to over six
hundred hands steady employment the
year round, uses seven hundred and fifty
thousand pounds of wool annually, makes
over three hundred varieties and style;
of the Harris Cassimeres, and has the
past year-during the war times-run his
extensive mills at an expense of over
three thousand dollars a day. So much
for our introduction.
Mr.. Harris is a plain beneyolent-loOk-
ing man, and would sooner be taken foi
a venerable elder among the Baptists, OF
a leading exhorter among the meek and
lowly Methodists, than what he is-a
sharp, shrewd, live fnancier and a mil
lionaire.
One morning in the spring of 1850
Mr. Harris stepped into his wholesale
house in New York, and just as he cross
ed the threshold, he saw to his astoaish.
ment, one Of the Southern ehivalry kick
over a pile Of the finest and most fancy
grades of the " Harris Cassimeres, and
excl6im with an oath,
Blast 'eml I wish they we're all in
hell"
Why so, my young friend?' inquired
Mr.. Harris, stepping up to the Southern
er, and speaking in tones Of reverential
kindness.
Because I have found out that this
Internal Harris who manufactures these
goods is a sneaking AbOlitiOnist, and that
he is the man who made a present to
John Brown of five hundred dollars,
when We had the hoary old sinner in
jailF
And for this you certainly don't wish
that all these fine cassimeros we're sent to
help
Yes, do-every one of 'emP
Well, now my young friend, if you
were to meet Mr.. Harris and make his
acquaintance, I doubt not you would like
him, notwithstanding his Abolitionigm.
Like himl I'd sooner like the devil /!
DO all Southern merchants feel that
way9
IF they don't, they soon will
'They of course acknowledge that the
Harris Cassimeres1 are unequaled fol
texture and durability by the French and
English manufacture?
Yesi We willingly acknowledge their
superiority; but since have found out
who Harris is, I wish his goods were all
in hellP
You cannot certainly be in earnest
my dear sir
Yes, / AMIN bloody earnest
Then I'll tell you how to secure your
wish

Buy them 7 and before the astonished
STAKEHOLDER could recover from the shock
given him, Mr.. Harris stepped into the
!
Office and gave directions that no more
goods be sold to go south of Mason and
DixOn's line, unless they we're paid for il
advance.
Some old missionary, amt hep in.
quired the SOutherner of a clerk stand

of the New England Millionaire.
That, sir, exclaimed the clerk, with
merry twinkle in his eye, is Mr.. Ed

Good heavens ? gasped the astonishec
man, realizing in breath that by his i'm
petuosity he had imperiled his fnancia
prospects. = must step in at once anC
