TO ADVERTISERS.

TIE NEW YORK News is now taken
throughout the Southern States, and the
undisputed fact that it has larger circu-
lation in the South than the journals of the
New York Press combined, will insure the
attention of the commercial public and the
public generally.
Advertisers now availing themselves Of
the opportunity to make know their busi-
ness through the columns Of The New
YORK News, are convinced of the impor-
tance of it's great circulation throughout
the South, in consequence of the large or
ders received by them, certify to the value
of this journal as the best medium for ad-
vertising, and the public generally de-
pending upon publicity to secure an extern
sion of business commensurate with enter
prise, should not fail to become acquainted
with the unquestionable advantages to be
derived from announcing, through the
columns of this popular journal, whatever
relates to commercial or financial matters,
10 matter what may be the particular bust
ness in which any party may be engaged.

TO THE PUBLIC.

TTNHE NEW YORK NEWS HAS BATTIED
Il against despotism for four years of
blood and terror, in assertion of the sane
tity of the Constitution. 4 patriotism
sufficiently broad to embrace both sections
has been its only guide, and it refers now
with honest pride to it's record to show that
it mas not turned to the right or the left
under all the violence of arbitrary power.
True to it's principles as THE NEWS has
been through the reign of terror, it chal-
lenges public confidence in its honesty and
independence for the future.
The political transition of the present
day opens to THE NEWS a new and wider
field of usefulness. Standing now, as it
always has, on the inviolabiity Of the Con-
stitution, according to the Interpretation Of
the strict constructionists, it presents D
rallying ground for all, in both sections,
who are friends of q generous conservatism.
AS a true and tried exponent OF sectional
amity, it occupies position which makes it
the fitting mediator in holding up to the
party of order, in both sections, interests
and principles that gave breadth and vi
tality to their alliance. AS an intersec-
tional agent, devoted to freedom of cleo
ton. to trial by jury, to the sanctity of the
habeas corpus, and opposed now, as for
four years Of terror it has been, to the CEN
tralization that dares to trample on the
rights of States, North or South, THE
NEWS places itself as 4 candidate for sup
pRft before the great body OF this once free
people.
The circumstances Of the moment make
the dissemination of the principles of The
News a duty of individual patriotism.
Every man who concurs in its doctrine
must, if he entertain true sense OF free
| dom, do so in no spirit of Indifference. but
rather with the earnestness of high trust
Justified, nay bonnd, in his love of liberty,
| to do SO. the proprietor places the canvass he
makes here of the public generally in the
hands OF those men who give him the ap-
proval of their consciences as his individual
agents. Every reader of THE News cannot
avoid the conviction Of duty which is here
pointed out as the ground Of the request,
| that he urges its claims for wider support
upon all OF his friends and neighbors who
give their earnest sympathies to the cause
Of ''strict construction, intersectional con-
cliation, and all the rights of the citizens
under the system set up by our fathers OF
liberty regulated by law. The proprietor
Of The News calls, therefore, upon good
and true Conservatives throughout the
country, to discharge, to their convictions
of political right at this great crisis in the
countrys fortunes, the duty of giving to
the influence of his paper, daily, semi
weekly or weekly the wider power for good
which it seeks here through the service OF
its individual supporters.

LOOK OUT FOR 1OUR CARPET-
n6ks s-The Lafayette Courier tells u
story s>1t ''Weu-Lnown COM
ssion Aart OF Cincinnati,
AasS ugh that place Christ
night, us way to Chicago,
with $50, 600 in currency slowed away
in carpet-sack, which he was going
to invest in pork. Before arriving at
Lafayette he fell into a doze, and
startled by the stopping of a train at
the market space, he sprang from his
seat, and, half awake, started forward,
and then remembering his carpet-sack
and money, went back but got into
the wrong seat, where, by singular
coincidence, was n carpet-sack pre-
cisely like his own. He determined
to take the sleeping-car, and had ac-
tually placed the carpet-sack under
his head for safe-keeping, and was off
to dreamland, when the owner Of the
capet-sack came clustering into the
car in "search of that ar u1an who
stole my sack
The sequel msy be imagined. Our
commission man showed fight in de-
fence of his property, but finally con-
vinced that the carpet-sack contained
nothing more than a few pieces of
children, four pounds of tobacco and
package of tea, he became positively
frantic. Hutless, coatless and almost
painless, he rushed through the car
to the seat he had vacated, where he
found his sack and money undis-
turbed. The excitement made him
sick, and he thought his hair had
turned gray in the agony Of suspense.
A WESTERN GHOST STORY. The
Western papers tell in good faith an
Incredible ghost story, and back it up
by the sworn atfidavits of several re-
spectacle persons at Grand Traverse,
Michigan. A spiritual mediumess at
that place, whose husband was stub
born dIsbeiiever in the manifesto
tions," assured him in her dying
breath that she should re-appear to
him in her body at his death to con-
vince him Of the truth of her belief.
Several weeks after he was taken sick,
and "spiritnal' rumpus was kept
up in the house until his decease,
which soon followed. Just before his
death, which occurred at midnight,
heavy and irregular footsteps were
heard in the hall, the door was burst
open, and the stenchful remains of a
human body, reeking with putre.
scence, stalked into the room, and in
a mutfied voice reminded the DYING
man of the promise, and, as he died
fell horrid mass upon the floor. Al
examination OF her grave proved it te
be empty. The story created intense
excitement, and the house where the
affair was said to have occurred wa.
burned by the friends of the family

MISCELLANY.

boNNETs FOR MAY.-The styles of bonnets
In the present month are the Empire, Fanch-
on and PAMELA or Gypsy. The contest for
popular favor is between the Fanchon and the
Glpsy. This Fanchon is not however, exact
~ like that of last year, being smaller, and in
some respects prettier. An effort was recently
made to revive crowns, and SO rule 1t out, but
The attempt proved futile. The Fanchon has
many admirers, and their number is increas-
ing. a tall of narrow lace, an occasional
spray of flowers, or a vine of green leaves
resting upon the hair, has far more pretty
effect than any high, stiff crown, however art
lstically constructed. Aletter from Paris says
that the bonnets recently worn there were al
most all made OF flowers of one kind or an
other, fastened upon tulle, and entirely cover
Ing the triangular fanchon which is SO much
In vogue. One bonnet was entirely OF wall
flowers, those above being yellow and orange,
while few under the rim had a reddish tint.
A much prettier bonnet was composed of the
lilly of the valley, the crystal dewdrop falling
on the forehead, and on the hair at the back
ofthe head Another was formed of white
daisies, and the dress worn was almost exclu-
sively white, relieved by narrow black stripes.
There is tendency to over-trimming, most
of the bonEets this season being SO formed as
to require but little trimming The bonnets
are very small, and the straws are mostly 10
fancy braids that need no decoration; but an
unusual number of ornaments have been in
PRODUCED, such as chains, strings OF beads, but
tons, canoes, buckles, clasps, and mixture
OF jet and straw. When to these are added
lace, flowers, ribbon and veil, we seek in vain
glimpse of the bonnet; it is completely bid
den.
The gypsy is much worn, especially by quite
young ladies, and will, doubtless, remain fash
ionable. 1t is very becoming to pretty face,
but face on which time has left decided
impress, or one that is unattractive, is sadly
out Of place under the flowers and dewdrops
of gypsy hat.

A MAN OF Talking about con-
tracts" said Sumner, with whom we were
conversing on the street, yesterday, "that was
rich incident that Lawyer B relates
as having come under his observation, while
travelling in an adjoining county, short time
since. B had occasion to make out a
contract, between planter-one of the sci
ons OF chivalry,' you know, landed proprie-
tor etc., and cololed laborer. Having COM
menced with Know all men, and gone
through in legal form to 'Hereunto fix our
hands and SEALS the lawyer called upon the
parties for their signatures. Planter seemed
confused, hesitated, stammered, and finally
'reckQned he wonld have to make his mark.
Turning to the freedman, says B, shall
mark for you, also? NO, sab, if you please
and legible manner, his name in full. ~ tell
you," continued Sumner, "that planter is a
man of mark. What depraved, ignorant set
these niggers are,'-L Memphis Post.
