Gortifying.

One Of the most mortifyioy things
connected with our particular business
is the necessity of dunning, dunning,
everlastingly dunning, for miserable little
amounts, ranging from one and half, to
three or five dollars, for subscriptions
and advertising, and to parties too who
come the dodge over US on the promise
of making it all right in week or more,
after "selling this, that or the other,'' or
until they come to town again." Our
health never very robust, is growing
feebler under the effects of the mortifica-
tions continually experienced, and if it
continues we know not what will come
of US. Some tragic end no doubt. That
they all mean we'll, we have not shadow
of doubt, they think that because we
publish respectable paper and send it
week after week, and advertise, on their
promises, and that there is no suffering
apparent on the bright pages of the
Herald, that all is @ell, and we can wait.
There never was a greater mistake, or
more heinous sin against poor printers.
The canker worm is in our heart, we feel
itknawing. Would that our heart were
a file. If this thing continues we will
fee to the mountains, turn guerilla, bush
whacker, take posish in the Bureau,
teach little nigs, or 60 fishing, We don't
care which. Oh that we were done with
this dunning, this terrible dun, dun,
dunning! Do you owe us anything?
Eyes" Well square up Immediately, or
''may your cow give sour milk, your
hens lay bad eggs, and your daughter
marry one-eyed editor, and his business
90 to ruin"

GEx. LEE's ADg1cE.-We published q
day or two ago, q bsieftelegraphic synop-
sis of the views of Gen. Robert E. Lee in
reference to the policy which the South
ern people should pursue in the present
crisis. The Richmond dispatch of the
SD, this allcdes to5his suggestion:
We have unquestionable authority for
saying that Gen. Lee expresses himself
strongEy and warmly on the subject Of 3
convention. He thinks it is the duty of
the people toaccept the situation fully,
as The only chance left Of preserving
what remains 70 US, and that every man
NOT actually diSfranchiSed should not
only take the necessary steps to prepare
himself to vote, but TO prepare all his
friends, white and colored to- vote, and
to vote rightly. He thinks the cooper
alton of all the people, officials and citi,
zens, should be prompt and hearty, and
that our chief object should be to get rs
qniekly and as quietly as possible back
into the Union With such rights as are
LETT us, as the only means of saving any
thing and of restoring pace, through
which alone, we can hope for better
things. He thinks the oath proposed is
such as every good citizen not disiran-
chiSed ought now to be able to take, as
4 simple matter Of truth and Of duty, as
citizen of the country. -.- -...r..

PLANT GoTToN AND CoRN.-The Green
"" advocate says: Nature has placed
it in the power of man to raise every
thing at the South which is necessary to
supply all reasonable demands. Our
people are now actually rejecting the
beunties of climate and soil and, in their
mad folly for cotton bags, are paving the
way for tie utter ruin and degradation.
When the land passes into the hands of
another race, then the people of these
States will be strangers and servants
upon the soil which gave them birth.
And those who own the lands will show
their immense value by the abundance
which they will raise and have around
them. Instead ofbeing dependent upon
other States an1 other people, they will
make them their tributaries. ....

: ASYLUM FOR PRINTERS. s.-The announce
nent that accompanied the publication
of the will left by Charles F. Browne,
(Artemus Ward, to the effect that his
property-some $60,000-shall after the
death Of his mother, be appropriated to
the founding of an asylum for printers,
has drawn from the Chicago Tribune a
practical and an excellent suggestion, as
follows:
ave propose that the craft in all parts
of the country, by united resolve, pro-
vide that there be retained by the fore
man of each newspaper and printing
office, from the earnings of the journey
man, sum equal to Ave mills upon each
dollar of his weekly bill. This small tax,
of one half cent to the dollar, should be
paid over to the local treasurer weekly,
and by him forwarded to a general treas
urer to be invested until such time as
the asylum fund will be available. The
tax is small one to each person but in
ten years'time, if properly invested, with
its earnings, would constitute fund
equal to the blishment and endowment
of an asylum dual to the demands of the
cl aft, and worthy of the men whose in
frmities of body may make them its in
mates" ..-.

IAPoRTANg TO SCBscRIBERs.-NeaF
every day NO receive letters from ola
snb&cribers enclosing money TO renew
their subscriptions and tellirg us we
need not be so alfred particular about
stopping it the very day the time expires
for which they have paid. Our rule is
advance payment, and when the time ex.
pires we invariably strike out the name,
unless by an oversight of the mailing
clerk it is omitted for a week or so. We
make this rule-if we break it for one We
must break it for another, and that is
impossible. We enter no names upon
our books till pai1-Ra man wants to
borrow money from us we lend it to him,
but the transaction is never shown upon
our subscription book. And if We send
= paper without pay from party, we
take the money ftom our private purse,
pay for the same fnr such time as it is
sent, and thus keep our books and bust
ness in land.
We mean no offence by disseminating

We have no objections to giving money

business-tbe clerk who would deviate
from it would lose bis place instantly:

WORSE CoMlNG.-The Philadelphia
Evening Telegraph thus ends a recent
editorial 1--WE cannot but feel keen re-
gret that the prevailing tone ofthe South
ern press is anything but what it ought
to be. All counsel passive resistance, all
unite with the Macon New Era, and agree
that the only good reason for not appeal
ingzto arms at this junctuTe is the hope
lessness Of success. We regret this dis
position, because We see it necessitateS
yet more radical remedies in the future.
We would not have it necessary that the
strong arm of the Government should be
barred, and that by one sweeping act Of
con6scation, tie South be reduced to
beggary. Yet what may be necessary if
the advice Of the Southern journals is
not discarded, we know not. Six months
ago and the adoption ofthe Constitutional
Amendment would have made them have
all their rights as loyal citizens. To-day
ret seyerer measure is required. If
that is refused, they know not on what
conditions they may have to come back
to morrow"

This Compound is rapidly taking the place

chemical preparation for washing clothes,
the coarsest, MS well as the finest and most
delicate fabrics, with little rubbing or boil.
ing saving in the process MORE THAN ONE
HlLF THE COST OF SOFAS, and but one-quarter
of the time and labor is requiredto to do the
same amount of Washing as, with the best
of soaps. -

Clothes need boiling but few minutes,
and but very little if any rubbing with the
hands, thus avoiding their wear upon the
wash board. 1t does not injure the fabric,

stains of all kinds. GiyeIt trial and you
