CARD.-lD 1861 Morton discontinued the
discount formerly given TO the Jobbing Trade,
and, ignoring the services Of middle mep, bas
sold his pens either directly TO those who use
them, or TO such as keep them on hand for the
bitter supply Of the writing public in their
own localities. There may be Jobbers who
have spoken in favor Of the Morton Pen since
hat time, but, II So their remarks have never
iu a single instance reached his ear; and
although they generally admit that Morton
can make the best pens in the world, and used
TO do so, they nevertheless put forth great
c1ertions TO show that the Morton Pen has de-
pieciated in value, is not what 1t formerly was
ard that those which they vend are equal, If not
superior; now since many Retail Dealers obtain
what little they know Of pens, as well as the pens
themselves, entirely from the Jobbers, people arc
AIT 10 he misled 10y their representations.
In order that the public may judge correctly,
and at the Same time see how much pains
taxing is exercised 70 give every one who orders,
Just such pen as will exactly suit his hand
Morton confidently refers to the many thousands
throughout the entire country, VINO have rc-
ccived his pens through the mails during that
time, and nlso calls particular attention TO the
following letter which has accompanied every
pea sent ,.,.,

At a meeting of the citizens of High
Point, held on the 25th of January, Sewel
Farlow being called to the chair, and the
object of the meeting being explained, the
following preamble and resolutions were
submitted by the committee appointed and
adopted
WHEREAS, by ali act Of the general assembly OF
North Carolina, charter has been granted TO ex-
tend the Coal Field RaiI DAD, to some point Oh
the N. O. Railroad.
And Whereas it is believed said road could be
extended to the n. G. Railroad, at High Point,
over ground as we'll or better adapted to the
building of said road than it could to any other
point. =,
meet with said road at the point by which the
thoroughfare or old dirt road passes over which
the multiplicity of wagons from the valley of the
Yadkin, and extensive back county were &C
customed to pass on their way to market at Fay
eteville ever since it was kiC wn DIS Cross Creek
Town, and at a point on the n. G Railroad, that
is at least ten miles the trade of greater
portion of the mountain country than any other
point. and from the geographical position of the
country, at and from this point, it is of easy
access to this region of country than any other

HARD TIMES.

No business stirring, all things at a stand,
People complain they have no cash in hand.
Even from father to the son and daughter.
Merchants Cry out no money to be had,
Grocers say the times are very bad;
Mechanics work. but they can get no pay,
Beaux dress gentesl, and ladies too are gay.
Cash very scarce-dancing twice week
Business d1ll-&musement still We seek.
Some live awhile--and then perhaps they fail,
While many run in debt and go to jail
The females must have ribbons, gauze and lace,
And paint, besides, to smooth wrinkle face
The beaux will dress, go to the ball and play,
Sit up all night and lay in bed all day,
Brush up an empty rate, look smart and prim,
Follow each trifing fashion or odd within.
Are those bad times when persons will profess
To follow fashions and delight in dress?
No! times good, but people are to blame,
Who spend too much, and justly merit shame

.oof Of which we would invite an in

point for proof of which we would invite an in
| spection of the Railroad books to the amount
of freight received at this point in times past.
| And whereas said freight from said section will
for the above set for always seek its out
let by Railroad, at this point and whereas it is
once freighted on the n C. Railroad, it gives Fay
etteyle al unequal chance, as it will be apt
to go 10 other markets, than o change to the Coal
Field Railroad. for the Fayettev market, should
said road connect at any other point
And whereas, should tn road connect at this
( point. Fayetteville would through of her old
! channels, regain the trade Of her former trades
men.
Therefore, we the citizens Of High Point, would
most respectfully set forth and show to the stock
holders of said road and to the citizens of Fay
ettevile, that although being DESTROYS for the in
terest of our town, that sail road should connect
at this place. it would not be to cur interest alone
but it would give Fayetteville al equal chance to
reach the trade of great section OF country that
abounds in cereals, tobacco fruits, minerals, coal
and lime, and that although, We may appear to
be weak in a pecuniarv view, to give as much
present aid as would wish. Yet we believe we
strong as the strongest, in insurins you fl-
ture aid in the way of freight, which will be of
lasting benefit to the stockholders of said road
and to the markets II Fayet evile and Whining
ton.
Therefore ResotUed BY this meeting that
most earnestly call and invite the stockholders
of said road, to give the above facts set forth
careful and candid consideration, believing there
by that it will dispel from their mind any idea that
our move in this matter is for self interest alone.
in the fact that it is on the direct line, by way Of
Salem and Mt. Airy, to connect with the Virginia
and Tennessee Railroad. Should that be contem-
plated and in the meantime, in reaching this point,
it opens up to the market Of Fayetteville the pro-
ducts of the valley of the Yadkin, and OF that vast
region Of country between this and the Noun
talnS.
Reso red, That we believe the foregoing objects
will be more completely and fully obtained by con.
Meeting the road with the n. c. Road at this place,
than they will by connecting at an other point
more distant from this great region Of country and
more difficult of access.
Res0IUed, That although our town is in its in
fancy and it's citizens, in common with others.
were bereft by the late war Of their means and
property yet in view of the great benefit, they
believe this road will extend to them for recover
ing their hopes they will extend what aid their
limited means will admit of, to the conveying out
of said enterprise.
Resotued, That the Raleigh Sentinel, Winston
Sentinel Salem paper, and Fayetteville paper be
requested to publish the proceedings of this meet
