Es-A cotemporary speaks of the "pre-
vailing excitement relative to the draft"
We have seen nothing of it, and do not
believe there will be any excitement ex-
cept, perhaps, On the day Of drawing when
something like the excitement of an cleo
ton may be noticeable among those who
are anxious to draw u prize. A new draft 10
also to be ordered after the one on the
10th inst. is made. The call is imminent
and the men must be had Shortly we
will lind the campaign begun and wide gaps
in our ranks. Bounties are TO be contin.
ued until April LIST. Let the volun seers
now come forward rapidly. Men are
needed and the bounties are generous, and
vigorous campaign will end the war.

the first powder Of the Revolution, pre-.
sented by. John p. Putnam, grandson

BUSINESS MEs.-Spring is here and
the spring trade has already commenced.
This should be reminder to all business
men, that in order to secure the largeet
amount of trade it will be necessary for
them to call in at the GATs CIrY ofice
and leave an advertisement, telling the
people what they have to sell and how
they intend to sell it. Experienced bust.
ness men well know the benefit Of adver.
tising and need no hint from us as "a
what y for their own interest. For the
benefit of those Of less experience W
would say, profit by .he example Of those
that are prosperous. Look over the bus;.
ness houses of our city and see if thos,
who do, the most business---whoss. .stora,
and workshops are always crowded will
eustomers-whose employees are alway.
busy, are not the ones who advertiso..
who tell the public what they are doing
where and how they are doing il. Mone1
paid for advertieing is onsthe 1Dfhsipls B

Afs psyIlpg, and are bound to 1etpspxxsl

THIEyING.-Petty thieving is becom-
ing so common in our city OF late that it
has got to be an intolerable nuisance, and
something must be done to abate it.
Scarcely day passes but what we hear
of some person having clothes and other
articles taken, but no clue is obtained as
to the perpetrators; but yesterday an un-
lucky soldier was detected in taking bolt
of calico from the front of Howe u Ty-
ler's Auction Store and was took himself
and confined in the Guard House. Ire
mains to be seen whether his take was a
afat one or not.

RENTS In THE CITr.-Rents are becom-
ing too high in our city, and our landlords
and property holders would do we'll to re-
fleet on the matter little. They are ad.
vancing their prices too rapidly and in a
ratio disproportioned to the increase OF
population or the profits of business
Renters may, under the compulsion oi
circumstances, yield to the demand fol
exorbitant advances in rents for the pres.
ent, but they can't stand it long. Aud
as a result of the policy many mag be
constrained to change their location and
remove to some other town where they
can rent buildings at a cheaper rate, in
which event srents must drop down here
to the old figures.

has established an enviable reputation BY
its }fattsAnd liberal dealing and the AigA-

prise is not the least commendable feature
Of the concern, as it assures to customers
not only the best qualities of goods but
also atsthe lowest cash prices, thus en-
abling the retail dealer at all times to of
fer TO purchasers extra inducements in
the way Of fine articles at fair price,
We personally know that it is the policy
Of this house, and one upon which it acts
at all times, to sell to. their retail trade
thevery best articles and such goods as
can readily be resold, and by their quality
recommend the merchant selling them to
increased patronage. We yesterday pass
ed through their building, and took look
at their immense stock, which is one OF
the largest m the cry and fills the shtesl
floors of their building and. our .wsrd for
it, their assortment of groceries, wooden
