During the past week our merchants
have been reapfng harvest that. in some
degree, repays them for the weeks of dull
ness occasioned by the rains and high wa
ters We visited no establishment yester-
day that did not report business brisk, and
many of them did a much larger trade
during the past week than any previous
week of the year. The city was visited by
large number of country merchants from
the adjacent States of Kentucky and IIli-
nois, and from points further South, who
were welcomed with hospitable hands and
fair prices by our dealers, who were pro-
vided with good stocks, out of which they
could make their selections. In addition
to the customers, all of the steamers
brought liberal orders, which, we have no
doubt, were filled to the entire satisfaction
of purchasers.
By letter from one of our correspond
ents up the Cumberland 1T will. be seen
that our merchants are net4leoking after
the trade of that section as energetic as
they might, and that much of it goes to
other points because of their indifference
This oughtlnot to be- No trade ought to
be lost simply for the want of looking
after, and we trust that our wide awake
mechanics will not let so promising a field
remain uncultivated.f sEf NFI ETaf4
We direct the attention of our city Iner-

for the JOURNAL, which we are publishing

There is no doubt but that our circulation
in that State is now greater than that of
both the OIL err English city papers COM
bined; and within thirty days it will be
more than double its present circulation.
Every mail brings us clubs of new SUBJ
scribers.
