A New Advertising PrOJect-SHgges.
tiOns to eur Merchants.

It is a serious question with some
business men, who give the matter
only a casual thought, whether ad-
vertising pays. When We rememb Der
the various expedients, which are re-
sorted to by the multitude Of travel
ing canvassers, who appeal to our
merchants for patronage, we are not
surprised that a doubt is raised in
their minds as to the propriety Of in
vesting money in advertisements,
which in so many instances have
yielded them Il no return. There
is probably as little practical
business discretion exercised by our
merchants in advertising, as in any
other department of their business.
Many of them listen to every catch
penny project presented to them by
irresponsible and unknown adven-
turers, and when they find themselves
deceived in the representations and
promises made, or that fraud has
been practiced upon them, they de-
clare the whole system of advertising
a deception, and refuse to use even
those methods which are Of known
and accepted value.
We have been led to refer to the
subject at this time on account Of the
appearance of the Pros pectus of
a new advertising project. By cir
cular, which has doubtless been dis
tributed freely among the merchants
of this city, it is annoaneed that a
new paper is to be started called the
'EDansciLe Transcript. " Its proposed
to issue It semi-Weekly, and three
thousand copies viii be distributed
gratuitously throughout the city and
county, the adjoining counties in
Indiana, and orr neighboring towns
and counties ia Kentucky and
Illinois" In this way, the cir
cuiar says, the Transcript vii!

the principal merchants and shippers
along the OHIO and MISSISSIPPI ana

er and SPECTATOR in the interior
thus offering an opportunity 4
which no other advertising medium
In Evansville can offer Itproposes
to contain an exact wholesale price
current, 4 the latest tele-
graphic, financial, river and local
news" and in addition, it is to be
made "a welcome messenger in the
family circle" And after making
these large promises, in order to
compete with papers already estab-
Iished," it has placed the rates of
advertising unusually low"

Our CONGRESSIONAL Want.

Since the Courier has so publicly
givea Mr.. NIBLACK :" the cold shout
DER" we sincerely desire to encourage
it in its opposition to him, for we
feel that he is doing ver9 little for his
constituents, especially in this SEC
ton Of the District. There are
now pending in Congress two projects
of much Importance to the business
and general interest of this city, and
yet we predict that neither of them
will receive favorable attention. Our
steamboat interest and largely in
creased commercial business have
made it almost matter of necessity
that there be established in this city a
Board Of Local Inspectors, and SEES
sions Of the United States District
Court. The first Of these has already
been reported upon adversely, and
the other has met with very little
favor. 1t would have been otherwise
with both measures, If our Repre-
sentative, Mr.. NIBLACK, had been
less engrossed with party politics,
and given more attention to the inter-
ests of his constituents. There may
be some explanation of his neglect in
the fact that he has no inter
est in the prosperity of Evansville.
IF the Courier viii have enough IN
fuence to lay Mr.. NIBLAoK on the
shelf and secure the nomination Of
Col. bENBY or Judge PARRoTT, it
will do good service. If either Of
them should succeed in carrying the
First District, however heteredox
they might be politically. we could
hope that our local interests, which
are Of so much importance to the
city, would receive some attention,
and the more favorable action of Con
cress. af
