Albert Sidney Johnston.

Letters have been received in Aus
tin, Texas, stating, ''directly and relia'
bly,, that the family Of Gen. A, Sidney
Johnston are in California, in destitute
circumstances" Thomas F. McKin.
ney, Of that city, has, therefore, made
an appeal to the people of Texas to
send them money in remembrance or
a gallant officer, who resigned his com
mission in the old army to accept ser
vice in the Republic Of Texas, against
the armies of Mexico, sent there under
Santa Anna, to prevent them from get
ting their independence. Sometime af-
ter that, Gen. Johnston continued to
reside in Texas, till he again entered
the old army. At Il later day, he led
the expedition to Utah, and afterwards
went to California to live, where lie was
when the late var broke out. Espous.
ing the Confederate cause, he crossed
the Plains, and entered service in his
native State, Kentucky, and wal killed
at Shiloh.
This movement in Texas is a good
one, but we of New Orleans ought to
remember that the remains Of Albert
Sidney johnson are inferred in st.
Louis Cemetery, and that he has, MS
yet, no suitable monument erected to
mark his grave. We are surprised, in
deed, that his brother alumni of West
Point certainly cannot have so far for
gotten their old and honored comradc
as to have feeling against him. We
believe there was 10 officer in the Old
army who was so highly esteemed, and
when the Government was casting
about for the most proper man to lead
the delicate expedition to Utah, Col.
Johnston, then in Texas, was the unan-
imous choice of the whole army and
country. And so energetically and
prudently did he lead itthat it will ever
be one of the brightest pages Of militia
nv histOry.-N. o. Pieayune.

The noble ladies of Baltimore, who
seem to have devoted themselves with
so much generous sympathy to the
ameliOration of the distresscs of the
people ofthe South, are still engaged
In the good work that they have marked
out for themselves. Another festival
for the benefit of those in the South
whom the funds lately raised failed to
reach is announced. The Southern
people will not soon forget, we are
sure, the signal sympathy exhibited by
these ladies who, during the war, and
since the cessation of hostilities, have
never failed to respond to every call
upon their generous natures. One of
the latest acts of the committee of la
dies of the Baltimore Southern Relief
Fair has been to send n quantity of
-four and provisions to the destitute
people of Cilarleston.-N Y. News.

and rents fell two per cent.

Improvements absut T.wn.

Since the commencement of the war improvements
IN kenosha have been few and not very extensive
Hardly any new buildings have heen erected or even
repaired; but this spring new residences are being
erected, and old ones repaired, and repainted old
fences taken away and new put in their places
Among the improvements we notice nice, new res.
idence on the south side of Market street. near the
railroad, owned by Peter Widen The Congregation
Al Church Society have purchased those lots on south
side OF Market street and east Mrs. Dooittle and
put on large and commodious house. which is de.
signed for parsonage. N. H. Petit ESQ is enlarg-
ing his house, and improving his premises; and
several other residences Market street have been
improved by painting, &c. Mr.. Joseph Vale has
purchased the house and lot adjoining Mr. Brocketts
and putting on addition to the house and other
wise improving it. John G. McKindley ESQ, has
enlarged his house and put down marble walks in
front, and fitted up the yard in the most modern
style. Tho house owned byJ. II. Nichols, Esq, is
now undergoing thorough repair and ornamental
improvement.
We see that manufacturing is increasing that
shops are being opened. Messrs. Summons g. Son,
have erected building for the manufacture of
Cheese Boxes. They have engine of ten horse
power, and when the arrangements are all perfected
they will turn out2 200 boxes per day. This manufac.
tory must evidently be profitable one, as hereto
fore the cheese manufacturers in the western states
have had to send to Buffalo for their boxes and then
many times unable to get them. Mesers. Summons
& Son will be able to supply the dairymen of this
and adjoining counties ~
We shall have more to say Of the improvements
about town next week.

AFact.

Ii there is one thing more fully settled than anoth,
or, as genuine fact in business matters it is that
other things being equal the who advertise most
literally, are the best to trade with Merchants
VINO do not advertise, but content themselves with
small plodd1ng business, compelled by the law
OF sepreserYation to charge their chance customers
more IMAM their liberal and enterprising neighbors
VINO DO four times the amount OF business The one
may charge 80 to 80 per cent, his goods while the
other charges but Is to rs per cent and the latter will
get rch while the former merely holds his own One
makes his large profit but once year. while the 9TH
er makes small profit four times year. 1t needs no
great skill in ciphering to show who has made the
most, and most benefited the community in which
both are doing business.
Whatever may be said about blowing nm fl.
ing" or .shumbugging'' by flaming advertise
ments, no business man can succeed, and prosper
right along for ten years, and keep his business all
the time largely advertised without he performs what
he promises in his advertisements. This everybody
can see and appreciate well as we can. Merchants
who have desirable stocks of Goods and are sufi-
ciently anxious to sell them to give good bargains.
would naturally take the best means to let the peo
pie know that they have such Goods for SALE Ithey
do not they show very little regard for the conven
fence or accommodation of the people, to whom they
look for patronage. .9.t
In this connection we call attention to the new ad
vertisement of E. G. BRowN, in this weeks paper.
He has laid in large stock of Spring and Summer
Goods to which he is constantly making additions
He believes they are good cheap and he is bound to
let the people know it, that they may Judge for them
selves of the correctness Of his statements He is not
afraid of the closest examinaton-he invites it. chal
enges it-and that the people appreciate that style
ofdoing business, is sufficiently proved by the crowds
that const antly throng his store.

! By reference to the time table of the Chicago
Milwaukee Railway twill be noticed that a change
has been made in the time OF the arrival and depart
ure of trains at this place. But the principal item
interest in this connection Is the putting on of the
Kenosha Accommodation Train. We announced
last week that an accommodation train to Chicago
would be put on this road. On Monday morning
promptly at the hour of the bell rang and the train
steamed with fair load of passengers whichfwas
swelled to a crowd by the time the train reached
Chicago. The Chicago Journal of last evening had
the following:
KENosHA ACCOMMODATION TRAIN.-This train
commenced to run this morning, and has been an en-
tire Over $50 passengers arrived in the city
this morning on the traiP.
Many ofour citizens have been for long time
trying to bring around this arrangement. Last
week, we understand, that Superintendent DUNLAP,
and other prominent officials of the Road visited our
city for the purpose OF judging for themselves as
the probability ofsuch an arrangement being profit
able one They were SO well satisfied with the pros
poets that they at once determined to put on the
train. The result thus far proves the soundness
of their judgment. We are glad the experiment has
been tried because we believe it will prove to be
such a success as to make 1t permanent arrange
ment and it cannot fail to be an advantage to our
SAhytoS Wei 40 COHNOuicuCc W many OF our
citizens.

ed for the ease and comfort OF passengers And
then, no Road in the country can boast of more
courteous, careful and gentlemanly conduc-
tors. In all the twelve fourteen years the Road
has been run it has been remarkably free from acct
dents. With three to five trains day each way
there has never been serious collision, and never
but one serious accident, record that speaks vol
umes for the careful management heretofore and it
is safe to say that that will not be resxed In the
future.

To wi.een.in Wool Growers.

The Wool Buyers and Dealers of Milwaukee have
issued the following circular to the Wisconsin Wool
Growers The circulars are signed by twelve or
fourteen of the principal dealers and firms of the city
ofDricks 1t is as applicable to the Wool Growers OF
this county as to any other county in the State But
to the circular. s ss- ~ .s
I'VE, the undersigned, wool dealers of Milwau-
kee, for the benefit of honest wool growers and for
our protection shall hereafter-as has already been
done In Ohio, Michigan, New York and other States
make the following deductions in our purchases
One-half on unwashed Bucks feeces One third
ON washed bucks heeces. One-third on all other
unwashed and black feeces. Aproper deduction on
all understandable which includes badly cotted
poorly washed, excessive twine and feeces contain
ing tags or any foreign matter
IoDuy wool badly put up as above mentioned is
simply encouraging dishonesty; and growers who
have reputation to sustain, and wish to see the
wool interests advanced, will avoid the damaging
practice Ez st3 "e
We make the above agreement, in view of the fact
that Wisconsin wool stands lower in Eastern mar.
kets than wool of similar grades grown in other
states, and we do this hoping to bring our wool up
to s proper standard condition. and believe it
be ono less interest to buyers than growers that
Wisconsin wool offered for sale should be in such
condition as to pass strictly merchantable in all
Eastern markets
