Special Notice!

We respectfully call the attention Of our
customers TO the important facts that THEIR Ac-
COUNTS ARE DUE, and that We sEEp TIE MONEY
BADLY, BADLY. We beg our friends TO remem-
Der that these debts were made on special con-
tracts, not 20 run ill Christmas, but 10 be paid
as soon as the cotton could be prepared for
market; and we made our arrangements ac-
cordingly. Every debt contracted Is now a
debt Of honor, and has no other basis than the
good faith OF the debtor, whose honor Is pledged
for a prompt compliance with his engagements.
We have spared neither money or labor to sup
ply the wants Of our friends during the past
year, and we cannot believe that any OF them
will Gall to respond promptly TO this call.
Merchants can always extend limited accom-
modations TO their friends, II they will meet
these claims punetually; but II they fail to do
This, they will not only seriously compounds
their own claims TO responsibility, but viii
efeclually undermine Confidence throughout
the country. We again urge our friends 10 the
earliest possible settlement Of their bills.

OF the year, except by special agreement

WIN they Impeachf

This question, which has agitated
the present misrepresentatives Of the
American people in Congress seems
to be about to DO brought to q con-
: clusion. On Monday of last week
the House Of Representatives was
filled with an immense crowd Of
. eager and excited spectators, awaiting
the long expected and m~uch-talked-
Of impeachment reports. The great
galleries Of the House were filed 10
overiowing, whilst the balls and
Hobbies below were crowded with
Senators and distinguished strangers;
but the excitement reached feyer-heat
when Boutwell, arose to read the re-
port Of the majority Of the commit
tee, favoring impeachment. A storm
Of mingled applause and Misses
greeted the reading Of the concluding
resolution, authorizing the ~impcach-
ment Of the President, but il would
seem that the applause prcdominated.
However, when the test came, even
though the demonstration favored
the would-bc impeachers, they be-
came weak kneed, and barely one
fourth had the courage and manli-
ness to face the issue, and practice
what they had preached. OF all the
weak. puerile, and childish charges
ever made by a set Of men laying
claim to craftsmanship, the charges
contained in these political bills will
be found 10 be the weakest and sil.
iiest ever p~erpetraied. They posi-
tively do not deserve the attention Of
any SENSIBLE man, and will be re.
garded by future lax-givers as one
of the foilies characteristics Of III,
reign Of terror which has marked
radical rule.

ToGdERY.-What is the use of toggery? Why
not dress with a view 10 comfort, convenience
and good taste The savage of Africa and the
savage of our Western wills seem to delight in
toggery. So do the Turks and Chinese. Indeed,
ii appears to be q common weakness Of savage
and civilized to love toggery. Little girls rig
out their dolls and themselves with useless tog.
gerry. Great military generals aud commodores
pile on the toggery SO the "brave redskins
decorate themselves with wampum, paint and
toggery after successful scalping excursion.
When the Englishman goes out for a summer
holiday or to the traces" he loads aud hampers
himself with toggery, not to mention baskets
and boxes of prOvender, ale, porter, beer, cham.
pagne, or whisky, enough, one would think, iC
last during voyage around the Kingdom. But
we need not 60 abroad to look for travellers tog
gerry. Go to our watering-paoes. Look at the
ladies' trunks. big enough to hold "a heap" Of
dry goods-and at the ladies themselvesl Lool
at their little heads, with those awful excres
cences loaded down with toggery. What cal
they have within their little craniums when 81
much is piled on outside If one gives hei
whole mind to externslB what becomes of thu
nternali But, enough. The foolshness mot Il
say vanity. aud Ricksdness-of these thing
must be apparent 10 all unperverted minds
Good taste-eyen artistic exoellence-require
no such nonsense; what is there in the way 0
dress more becoming gentleman than sui
coat, vest and pantaloons--all Of the sam
piece, be it blue, black or grays so for lady
We shall never forget the impression made oil
our admiring mind by young lady dressed il
this manner The material was not expensive
frock, cape and bonnet were made of the sam
material She wore her hair short-a la Prin
cess Of Denmark-and had no extra ribbonE
rings, or tOggery of any kind, and she wa
PRETTY. That realized to our mind the saying
'Beauty anadoIned is adorned the most"
Those horses, and that carriage, with jus
enough harness for UsH-and just enough ma
tsrial for strength and comfort, are far NOR
tasteful than il covered with gold tasaelp, span
giles, and toggery. OF all people in the wOrlC
we should ignore useless toggery. Let savageI
heather and foolish royalty shine in vain "pom
and ceremony" if they will but let sensibl
Americans study simplicity, utility, comfort, an
convenience.

RErRIBUTIoH.- AUSTRIAN CoLosEL HACK
ED TO DEATH.-A curious case of rstribution
took place in Austria. The proprietor of this
country seat, Baron Prangen, had, in lS4O been
q colonel in the Austrian army, and chief of the
military police at Verona. ln that position he
had displayed extraordinary cruelty, and had
repeatedly inflicted severe eopOreal punishment
on prominent ladies Of the Italian aristocracy.
Among other instances, he caused the punish
ment of the USrges to be administered to the
