ADvERTIsINa.-Fcw persons appreciate
the value of liberal and extensive advertis.
ing. Yet it is one of the most powerful
aids to the business man that can be con-
ceived. For the benefit of those who can't
see it, when the use of advertising is dis
cussed, we give the following instance of
its value:
"The man who invented Drake's Plan

FATTEN1NG Hoes. - The editor of the
Germantown Telegraph, having made in
quiries of farmer as to the pro6tableness of
nork raising and the best way to feed hogs,
received reply, the substance of which
was: l. That feeding grain - especially
corn to hogs will pay better than would
the same amount fed to any other kind of
farm stock They should be fed in such a
manner as to gain pound a day. In 9th
er words, the hog, at year old should
weigh three hundred aud sixty.fve pounds.
Greater weight than this could be pro.
duced, but the increase would not pay the
extra expense necessary to procure it. 2.
One bushel of good sheled corn, made into
meal fed to the hogs regularly, in such
quantity as to prevent them from fretting for
more, will produce from..fve to seven pounds
of pork during the months of October and
November. After this season of the year
more feed is required and less pork pro-
duced according the quantity fed. 3. An
important point is to keep the hog growing
all the time - not starving them to mere
hog frames, during the summer aud then
attempting to finish off quickly on the arri.
val of cold weather. 5. When put up in
the fall - indeed during the entire season
- a comfortable shelter should be provided,
so that the hogs may avail themselves of it
whenever a storm occurs, but when the au-
tumnal storms commence, the hogs should
be penned fos good till ready for slaughter.

The CASE OF lsHAM HENDERSON. .-Sev-
eral kilograms have been received within a
day or two from Louisville and Nashville in
regard to lsham Henderson, which perhaps
need some explanation to render them fully
ineligible, The facts seem to be these.
Henderson is connected with the Louisville
Journal During the war he was engaged
in furnishing mules for the army, and ii i,
alleged detrauded the Government by oh.
tanning S24, 800 on forged returns and vouch-
ers for 1853 mules never delivered. A
military court was formed at Nashville to try
him, and he gave bonds in the sum of $50
900 to appear for trial. He was ordered to
report for trial on Monday, but disregardcd
the summons, On the 23d General johnson,
(proyost marshal general on the staff of Gen.
eral Thomas at Nashville elegraphed 10
General JEFF. c. Davis, commanding the De
partment of Kentucky, to arrest Henderson
and send him to Nashville, either peaceably
or foicibly, us circumstances might require.
In the meantime General johnson received
a dispatch from Henderson declaring that
he did not recognize the authority of the
military court TO try him, and did not in
tend to so to Nashville Another dispatch
was then sent to Davis TO arrest Henderson
and send him along without delay Davis
responded that Henderson was under arrest,
but that wriis of habeas corpus had been
sued out in his favor, and asked what should
be done. General Thomas sent word to dis
regard all Wiits Of habGas corpus and send
Henderson to Nashville at once which was
done. sincr then, as appears by telegraph,
suits have beoa hrought against the officer.

A number of the former friends of The
late Captain RICHARD BRlNDLEY, desirou'
oil commemorating the services OF their late
fellow associate and friend, and at the SAME
time anxious to perpetuate the respect an'
love they entertained for him as a man, 6
soldier, and christian, have caused beau
tiful and appropriate memorial stone 10 be
erected in Trinity Chapel-at the corner o.
tiith and King Streets, in this city The
design is tasteful and neat and consists of a
mural tablet of Egyptian marble three feet
by four Upon this is shield in relief, o.
white statue marble two feet seven inches
square; upon this is chiseled the following
inscription;
IN MEMoRIAAf.
CAPT. RICHARD BRINDLEY,
I'd Regt, U. S Infantry,
Born October 12, 1881,
Killed at the battle of
Gaines Mill, Va,
June 81, 1862
''Aa example of The 6eliereys, in teord, in
eonrersdtton, in charity, in spirit, in faith.
in purity. ~ TIM. ", 12.
Surmounting this shield are two crossed
Roman swords and helmet, also in relief.
The whole representing a coat oil arms The
tablet is placed at OF near the centre of the
south or Fifth Street wall of the church,
directly under the gallery. The effect pro
duced by the contrast of color in the marble
is solemnly grand, while the memories it
awakens invest it with a moulnul interest,
in the eye of every beholder.
The entire work was executed by Mr.. Ed
ward Greble, No. 1905 Chestnut Street, Phila-
delplia, the father of the young and gallant
Lieutenant, who also lost his life in the ser
vice of his country at the battle of Big
Bethel
Captain Brindley, the soldier whose private
virtues and noble bravery this tablet is in
tended to commemorate, was the son Of the
late James j. Brindley of Christiana Hun
dred, and was at the time OF his death in the
thirty second year of his age He fell in the
engagement at Gaines Mill, while leading a
charge of his battalion against the enemy,
He entered the regular army in 1861, as
Second Lieutenant, and was at the battle OF
Bull Run, where, by his inucpidity and
GOODNESS in the lace of danger he was recon-
mended by his superior officers for promo.

tain but a short time before his fall lie was

ANOTHER VIcTM. - The Washington

the settled determination of Andrew John.
son to ostracise, politically, all Union Re-

addition to the numerous removals we have
already noticed for lukewarmness in sup.
porting "my policy" we copy the following
from the Cincinnati Gazette of Friday last:
flames p Luse, Esq, editor of the La.

from the Office of postmaster Of that city for
not supporting my policy. Mr. Luse {who
is brother.in.law Of Dan. Voorhees,, but

the country through the war, and upon

above stated, and bidding her three children
