Advertising Mediums.

The following article on this subject,
from the Chicago Repubitcaa, is wor-
thy the attention of merchants ANA
business men generally:
1t is popularity supposed that the
great bulk of the advertising patron
age of this country goes toward the
support Of daily newspapers. This is
grave mistake. During the past five
years there have sprung up an I'M
mense host OF weekly journal known
as advertising sheets, which are is
sued gratis, merely for the sake Of the
advertisements contained in them.
The agents OF these journals perambu
late every city and county IN the Unit
ed States, representing their circula-
tons to be enormous, and IN this man
ner they get their sheets filled with
advertisements, go home, issue only
enough to supply every advertiser and
the adjacent hotels with IL copy each,
and thus Their publishers pocket i'm
mense sums. Their thirty thousand
circulation dwlndles down 10 three
hundred; but the advertisers are sure
to get their copies regularly, and many
OF them are just fools enough to be-
heYe that because they see the adyer-
tsements, everybody else has the same
privilege.
Now, in the first place, advertise
ments are valuable only when they are
inserted m newspapers which have a
market for the news end other read
ing matter which they contain. Even
supposlug the publishers Of these lad
vertlslng sheets did print all they
claim to issue, tho fact that they ARE
published merely for the advertise
ments which they contain will prevent
them from being read Advertise
mentS IN daily newspapers derive their
chief value because they have regular
and steady readers, who, mt least,
glance dairy over their pages, if they
do not read them. Under these cir
cumsiances an advertisement inserted
IN the most obscure corner is likely to

Rebel Influence in the South.
Letter from Gen. Pope.
WAsHlNGroN. AUG.

WASHINGTON, Aug. II
Gen. Grant has received n letter
from Gen Pope, dated July n en-
closing n newspaper containg a speech
OF b. II. Hill, and saying that only a
few weeks since he was parloued by
the President "You can, Gen Pope
says, "see from the speech itself the
hopelessnoss of any satisfactory re-
construction Of the Sothorn States
while such men retain influence" in
his opinion no reconstruction can be
satisfactory, or at all reliable in its
future results, if these men are per-
mitted to discuss openly and accord
ing to their natures the issues pre-
scented. 1t is better the country
should know the truth ON this subject
now than run the risk of learning
hereafter what an irreparable mistake
has been made in the plan and execu-
ton of the reconstruction acts
He need scarcely repeat that recon
stluction, to be in the spirit Of the acts
of Congress and to be permanent.
must be the act of the people them
selves after free discussion. Congress
has done wisely i'll enabling them TO
make this fight by DISTINGUISHING the
leading rebels and mt least making it
impossible for them to vote or hold
office, and it would have been still
better to enforce their permanent alb
sence from the country The person
al influence they might bring to bear
II they were candidates themselves is
thus greatly weakened and they are
forced to discuss the issues and not
appeal to personal feeling in their
own favor,
The General gives his view atlength,
concluding as follows: Il am conf
dent that reconstruction Will be salts
factorily accomplished III this district
IN spite of the open and active oppo-
sition Of disloyal reactionists | can
safely say that Alabama will give not
less than 10000 majority of white
votes for reconstruction. | think it
may be said with equal certainty that
Georgia will give II white majority in
the same direction. Not less Than
throe-fourths of the colored votes in
each Of these States will be cast for
reconstruction. The same remarks
are substantially true of Florida. If
| have SO earnestly invited your at
tention to the danger of opposite re
suits, it has only been to furnish n da-
Ia necessary to meet the case and TO
justify the course l have thought it
Judiclons to pursue. All the facts that
can bear upon these questions l shall
continue TO report ms they come to my
knowledge.
1t is however, my duty to state that
in my Judgment the condition of az
fairs III the Southern States. even
should reconstruction be satisfactorily
accomplished, will OF necessity be n
reproduction III a more or less moli-
fed degree of what now exists in Tenn.

be read and noted ot one time or
another by nearly Nh readers, while an
Advertising sheet is rarely if ever
opened, except 10y an advertiser who
docs so only TO sec If his own advcr-
tiscmont has been inserted. Some
merchants, we think, are foolish
enough to be satisfied with this, ana
never think to inquire into tho circula-
ton. They pay their twenty or fifty
dollars for thcir Advertisements, but
then they get the paper gratis, and
they are complacentl
Figures clearly demonstrate that
the merchant who advertises in any of
these gratis sheets gets less for his
money and pays at a higher rate
leyen granting that the publishers is
sue all they claim, than if he inserted
his advertisement in first-class news
