WE find the following eloquent
editorial in the Chicago Republican
OF December Is, aud place it before
our readers rs y paragraph full OF
patriotic sentiment and the loyal
breathings of u soul that loves the
welfare of its country:
WELCOME.
When armed treason laid its hand
upon the throat OF the Nation, and
patriots were s2ringing to armsthere
was call for leaders. The plow
was left in its furrow; the loom was
idle; the fires on the forge went out;
the law books were left TO gather
dust by neglect; everywhere, from
the farm, the town, the shop, the of
fec, the bravest and the noblest ral-
lied to the unaccustomed duties of
the camp. Who were to guide and
control these mastering thousands,
and from their unskilled ardor coin
victory? And this necessity grew
| sharper, and earnest patriotism grew
more anxious, when in the earlier
hours ofthe strugglewe learned even
more painfully the need OF leaders,
from experience with those untitled
| to command. 1t is we'll to review
these National experiences, at time
when, in one great social brotherly
assembly, those are met in our city,
whose call to the head Of the columns
of their country was not in vain, and
who drew their swords only to
sheathe them when the flag was re-
stored to every partof our National
domain, under reconquered peace
We arc never to forget the lessons
nor the leaders of the late war. Not
to cherish remembrance Of strife as a
bar to peace, but to insure the latter
| by teaching how vain is the assault
Of treason upon = governments like
ours. Born fine popular will, shell.
tered at all points by the vigilance
of earnest citizenship, it was neces-
sary that cur history should bear its
red recent page to show to the world
and 10 ourselves, the power and ma
jesty OF q government BY. the people
| And to the great gathering in Chica
go at the present time of the leaders
in our Union Armies, there is al
historical value, worthily forming 1
succeeding chapter to the epoch o
war. In all history the world hae
!. learned to dread its great captains
until Washington and his Generals
taught their age how readily ant
. willingly the patriot soldier resumes
the duties of citizenship. The wei
earned laureis of the heroes who ar
gathered in Chicago to-day, won i,
the shock of some OF the mighties
: armies ever mustered in the ANIMAL
: Of human warfare, gain fresh luste,
because worn by men As earnestl.
! and faithfully citizens, as thos
: who have never left the pursuits Q
: peace.

ABOUT TADyERTIsINa.-The follow
ing very sensible advise about adver-
tising and when TO advertise, clipped
from the New York Tribune, we de-
sire particularly TO call the attention
of some OF our business men to be-
lieving that an Observance Of its ad.
vice would bstgreatly 70 stncir pecu.

some little to ours. He who takes
down his sign, says in actions as
plain as words could speak, that he
does not care whether he does any
business at all, or else he is extreme.
ly negligent OF his own interests
Now there is many ways Of adver-
tising. Amiability and courtesy
alike TO all customers, is an almost
indispensable method. An at trac-
tive and pleasing manner Of display
ing goods,is another important meth.
cd. But these will only effect those
who are within speaking or seeing
distance of your establishment. If
you desire to reach the attention of
persons at distance, printed Ian
guage must be rosorted to. Cards,
circulars, handbills, posters, the pur-
chase Of a certain amount of space in
local newspapers, are all paying in
vestments. Be sure of one thing
whatever you have to sell, there are
many people ready to buy, even in
the most depressed seasons. Find
them out; show them your wares;
pursuade them to buy of you rather
than Of another. When buyers are
reluctant sellers must be active. 1t
is neither cheap nor sensible to sit
still behind your counter and wait
for the hustle of trade to revive.-
When business is dull, that is the
very time to advertise. In the first
place, that is when you most need to
advertise; and in the second, that is
when people devote the most time
to reading the newspapers, and when
your advertisement consequently is
most generally seen. We hope now,
that our business men will remember
that the COURIER job department is
prepared to do the very best kind oi
job printing.

osme to hand in the absence Of Gen.
Hedrick, who left on Monday last,
to attend the Grand Military ban
quetat Chicago, Ills, which ID now

trespassing upon the Generals sense
ofpropricty in it's publication, yet
believing that our friends, Taylor 4
Porter, Of the Sentinal, gives the
CouRIEa . agenerous compliment, and
bestows especially upon the General,
well merited tribute from an old
comrsde in arms, We take the re-
sponsibility Of laying it before our
readers.
THE OrruMwA CouRIER.-If there
is any paper we love to read more
than another, it is the Ottumwa
Courier. THIS live Republican paper
is edited by one Of the most thorough
Radicals in Iowa General ]. M. He'd
rick. We were quite intimately &C.
quainted with him il the army. Du>
ring thewar none fought more brave
y, or had juster conception Of it's
magnitude, and few were more severe
" wounded. The General was an
excellent soldier and won the sincere
attachment Of all his acquaintance.
When we read the Courier editori-
ais we see in our minds the play OF
our comrades fine countenance and
can, almost hear the clear, full tones
of his determined voice. Hedrick, is
impressed upon every. word and sen-
tence. No other mortal whom we
have ever met can express his convic
tions in such q striking manner: none
can initiate him. We know from
the appearance Of his paper that it is
very prosperous, and feel satisfied
that ere long it will be recognized as
one Of the truest and best Republi.
can papers in Iowa.
