y This tsays Che Baltimore Sum is o pleasing
fact with young and old, and the consciousness
of the coming enjoyment incident 70 so glad a
season, is having its effect in thetadvance upon
social and external things in town and country.
1t is the period of gifts and OF feasts, and the
shrewd yet kindly vendors of wares, fabrics,
and things artistic and taseful, useful and beau
tiful, viii be busy now in their rivalries of adj
yertising to meet the wants of those, among ali
classes, who, would indulge the reciprocal ex-
changes. Of the season. 'Letlthe stores and
shops be ever so full, the variety be ever so

the people look to the columns of the newspa-
per T"The Old Family Journal" especially
to have it all epitomized before them, and to
discover the exact place whereat to find the
particular things needed, and the cheapest and
the best. Thus enterprising sellers and liberal
BUYERS both well understand, and in these
bright DAYS of December the streets begin to
grow lively with shoppers, and households be-
come cheerful in regard to purchases, present

SPECIE PAYMENTS.


The Secretary of the Treasury, in his annu-
al report to Congress, has mentioned the first
day Of July, 1868, as the period at which spe-
Gle payments may be resumed, while he Indul-
ges the hope that such viii be the character OF
future legislation, and such the condition Of our
productive industry, that this most desirable
event may be brought about at still earlier
day.
Mr.. McCullock suggests several general
principles as guide to legislation, the fifth
and last of which is the rehabilitation Of ne
States recently in instruction. In this he
feels that he steps upon dangerous ground, but
in his opinion there is no object now before the
country more important in its bearings upon
our finances than the political ndconsequent-
" industrial status of the Southern States
Embracing, as they do, one third part of the
richest lands Of the country, and producing ar
ricles of great value for home use and for ex-
portation to other countries, their position with
regard to the general government cannot re-
main unsettled, and their industrial pursuits
cannot continue to be seriously disturbed, with
out causing such diminution of the produc-
ton of their great staples as must necessarily
effect our revenue, and render still more unsat-
islactory than theyno are our trade relations
with Europe. AS long as the present anoma-
lous condition of these States contnues-as
long as they have no participation in the gov
ernment to the support of which they are now
compelled to contribute-it is idle to expect
that their industry will berestored ortheir pro-
auctions increased.
These are sound suggestions, and would have
weight with true statesmen, butthey will doubt
less fall unheeded upon the ears of the malig-
nant leaders who now give tone to legislation.
The Secretary urges the importance of fur
nishing the people of the South with bank note
circulation, not by increasing the issue beyond
the three hundred millions now authorised, but
by reduction of the amount awarded to other
States. He still insists on the propriety Of
Withdrawing the government notes. but how
he expects the existing banks, with an issue of
$500, 100000 in paper, and only 100000
of specie, pay specie, we cannot comprehend,

A BEGGARLY DISPLAY.

A few Radical toadies in Washington under
took TO get up an ovation to Congress, and after
some weeks preparation they managed to pa
rade about two hundred white men and one
thousand negroes, most Of the latter of the
real tar-pot complication Judge Carttermad
the welcoming speech, and Speaker Colfax and
Senator Yates responded.
At the feast, in which the negroes partcipa-
ted, savage speeches were made by Stevens,
Howe, Wilson, Forney, and others, allof whom
declared the South should not come into the
Union except with negro suffrage. Let the
demons yell. If within the next two years the
people Of the North and West do not become
disguised with these demagogues, then free

Advertising.

Although few antediluvian old fogies may
decry the benefits Of advertising, we believe it
is, among thorough-going business men, a uni
verSally conceded truth that liberal and Judi
cious advertising is the cornerstone of success
full trade. Girard and Astor acknowledged the
fact, FRINGE Barnum admits that heaccuuulated
a series of fortunes by the unlimitated use of
printers ink, and Holloway, Ayers, and host
of patent medicine men, are living evidences
of the benefits of extensive advertising.
1t may be set down, therefore, as a settled
fact, that the man who decries or neglects adj
vertisngi destitute the enterprise which
forms the principle ingredient of the wide-awake
business man, or cannot offer to the public the
advantages offered by his competitors in trade;
while rice rerSa the merchant who makes the
most liberal use of the columns of the press to
acquaint the community with his business, To-
cation and terms, will receive the credit of be-
ing man of enterprise who intends to be I'M
dersold by none,-Richmond Enquirer.

To which the Bellefonte' Hatchmdn replies.
"Go to your store, and you get from eighteen

ward of muslin you buy; from ten to fifteen
cents worth of niger in every yard of calico
your wife and children use; from six to eight
dollars worth ofnigger in each barrel of -four

of niger in each pound of coffee you purchase
from eight to twelve cents worth of niger in

Manassas Gap Railroad.

From an article in the Rockingham Register,
we extract the following:
eve state, for the benefit and encourage
ment of our people, such facts in connection
with the movements of the Manassas Gap Rail-
road as have recently been brought to our no
tce. Tounderstand What the company is now
doing, it is necessary to know what condition
the road was left in at the close of the war. Its
Eastern end was utterly used up by the FEEDER
a authorities, the rails being taken up and haul
ed off and put down on other roads, and the
cross-ties destroyed This was done to the
whole road from Manassas Junction to Peid-
mont, distance of thirty-four miles. Ihls
section is being rapidly reconstructed" that
is filled up and re-laid The road is now in
running order from Linden to Salem, and the
company is engaged in laying track both ways,
East and West, between Salem and Manassas
junction. A strong party is engaged IN tins
work of track-laying between these points
As soon as that is done the Company will ap-
plv all its energies and resources to a forward
movement in this direction, and the intelligent
Chief Engineer. Maj A. II. johnson, thinks the
road will be completed to Woodstock early
next Summer. Once at Woodstock, the work
this way will progress rapidly, for the work is
nearly all done between that point and Harri-
sonburg. The Company will then be standing
upon its feet. 1t will not be quite so poor
that no one will do it reverence. 1t will show
that it has essential vitality-that it can per-
form the functions of its being. 1t will be a
proud day for this down-trodden child of the
mountains-this unfortunate creature of mis-
fortunes and misadyentures and mishaps from
the beginning to the end of its past history
when it shall again enter this magnificent VAL
lev in power and strength"
