4 NEW ENTERPRIsE-Th proprietors of
the Montgomery, Alabama, idrcrfi,er are de-
sirous of engaging the services of number
of ladies to be taught the business of compo-
sition in their printing Office. In Boston,
and other cities of the North, this work is
done by ladies' with efficiency and neatness
equal to that Of the best male compositors.
1t is work peculiarly fitted to the delicate
fingers of the female, and the remuneration
exceeds that which a woman can errn in al
most any other employment. An industri-
Gus, swift moving compositor, can set at
moderate calculation, six thousand ems per
day, and the price per thousand is sixty
cents A tuition Of two 10 four weeks dura-
tion viii enable an intelligent woman to set
enough types TO pay her board and every
days subsequent practice will increase the
quantity ofwork she can accomplish. There
is no more honorable employment, and the
proprietors pledge themselve to see that the
strictest order and mutual respect shall he
maintained in their Office under this new
system.

JoHNsoNvILLE, TENN.-A correspondent
of the Chicago Times has the following notice
Of the above named place
This place was, | may say with truth,
brought into being by the events of the war
but unlike other towns of similar origin, it is
not an ephemeral growth that withered and
died when all government patronage was with
drawn, and when il was no longer needed az
a Government depot. Jacksonville will soon
become one of the most importantly not
already the most mportant-commercia
points on the Tennessee River Being at the
head Of navigation in low water goods in
tended for Northern Alabama and Georgia
and Fast Tennessee, are re-shipped here and
sent forward by rail 10 Nashville at much
less expense and more expeditiously
than by any other route. Daily
lines of packets are run between this
town and Paducah, Cairo and St Louis, each
of those three cities vieing with the other for
our trade. Apparently more Southern trade
will go to st. Louis than in former wears, and
il will require but little exertion for Chicago
TO secure a fair proportion. The opening of
the railroad from the river TO Nashville-the
work Of the Federol Government as Il war
measure-makes Cairo aud Paducah more
convenient to North Alabama and Georgia,
and parts of Tennessee, than are Memphis
and Charleston, and il is notorious that in
prices and stocks the latter cities can never
vie with Chicago or St Louis Nor will
sectional preiudices ever more prevent the
Southern people from seeking the cheapest
and best markets"

GERMAN LABoR-The first installment
of German laborers for the Valley of Vir-
ginia arrived in Alexandria on Saturday.
The Gazette says
They have been engaged by Colonel John
Fairfax, of London, who intends thoroughly
to test this, to our people, new species of la
Dor. 1t is said his example will soon be fol-
lowed by many of the farmers in the Pied
mont District. In the lower counties, where
the new system has been introduced, it is
said that the result is satisfactory, and
Messrs. Wilmer and Washington, the agents
here for German emigrants, are receiving
frequent orders from the upper and lower
countless and as the freedmen have become
unceatain, it is not improbable that white
labor will entirely supplant the negro in
this section of Virginia.

Republican Corruption Tn New York

The New York correspondent ofthe Louis
vile Democrat in speaking of the late city
election, says:
L" have it on authority am not disposed
to dispute, that the Republicans spent two
hundred thousand dollars in their recent
attempt TO elect Marshal O. Roberts Mayor
of this city. Just before the closing of the
polls on election day SIS, in many cases,
was paid for single votes. Jim Irving, the
notorious pugilist, received $1,000 alone,
the evening previous, to be used among the
dangerous classes with whom he is re-
cognized leader. The report is, however,
that Jim invested 81, 900, and placed the
balance in bank subject to his own order.
That was smart for Jim. 1t was a point
with the Loyal Legal-tender' aristocracy
to carry New York city, and hitch it,
along with Philadelphia and Boston, to the
car of Black Republicanism they thought
greenbacks alone could do the job but the
result of the election showed how wretchedly
their corrupt scheme miscarried."
1t is gratifying to know that the corrup-
tionists were defeated, and that Hoffman
Democrat-was elected.
