PosTPONE:kEST OF THE GIFT C0NCERT.-
Owing 10 the illness of one of the members
Of the company, the concert announced for
Tuesday evening will be postponed until
Friday evening ofthis week, at which time
one of the grandest entertainments will be
given that has ever taken place In this city.
Miles has secured the services Of the best
musicians Of this place and also the services
of the justly celebrated pianist Prof Van
Elsncr, of Chicago. We would call the At
s.rss<,,, ~I,a ,~,,1,lso <x~co IN
that the gifts are on exhibition at Wallace's
music store. Those wishing to secure re-
served seats for the concert would do well
TO get them as soon as possible as they are
being taken very fast Tickets for reserved
seats can be had at Wallaccs store, where a
diagrahi Of the hall can be seen.
PAYING OrF.-One hundred patients dis
charged from the military hospitals at Keo.
kuk, arrived here yesterday evening to be
mustered out Of service and paid off, One
hundred more are expected to arrive to-
night. The tables are changed; one year
ago this time the street in front Of our office
was more or less crowded with soldiers all
the while, being mustered in. The war was
then raging, and they were hurried to the
Acid as fast as possible. The war is now
ovcr-the boys have done their work, and
done it we'll, and now we see them every
day in squads and companies being muster
! cd out. Rebellion is dead, and the men
who have dealt it those irresistible blows,
are returning to the plow, the shop, and the
office, to resume the occupation which they
abandoned for . time when their country
called for the aid Of strong arms and brave
hearts. Some will never return, for they
sleep beneath the green turf consecrated by
deeds Of glory some return manned for life
the objects Of our kindest sympathy and
solicitude; yet many there arc who return
with oil the vigor Of manhood. All who re-
turn are thrice welcome; while those who
remain "along the line" where 'all is quiet
may they rest in peace.
EXTENDING TuEIR TRADE.-Taking Their
cue from successful eastern houses, our mcr
chants who aspired to the dignity Of thc
fjobbing trade, are sending their travelling
agents right through the State soliciting
orders for their goods. Upon inquiry W.
find that those Davenport merchants wh'
have adopted this system are meeting will
great success,-even more nattering thar
they had any reason to expect in the com
menccment. Orders come to them constant
ly which are filled on rs reasonable terms a
country merchants could get by orderin
from New York or Chicago. We are gla
to sec it, merchants who expect to do bus
ness must expect to add energy to 200
goods and low prices. We we:e settlin
down behind the counter and waiting Il
country merchants to come when they g
/ ready. but the policy now is, and it will pa!
) to go right out into the country to II
places where merchants do busin IS, an
show them the styles and the prices. Thi
; is the way to win. The wholesale trade {
! this city, through judicious canvassing an
advertising, will be greater this year than
3 ever was before, by many times ten thou
and dollars. This energetic spirit is jus
what is needed. Our merchants can SUI
ply the country trade with dry goods, gr
ceries, hardware, boots and shoes, leathe
wall paper, stationery and the like, cheap
, than that trade can supply itself by goir
& to eastern markets. This energetic ente
prise cannot fail to produce the most des
rable results, and We confidently expect
see it carried out successfully.
HAVE We Face AMONG Us?-N
have! We have the American flag tn
