To COUNTRY MERCHANTS. As
the season is approaching when the
merchants from the interior will seek
wholesale market for the purchase
Of goods suitable for the spring trade,
we desire to direct their attention to
some of the inducements which New
Orleans affords as a purchasing mar
ket.
The wholesale market of our city,
in every department of trade, has am.
pie stocks from which to make selec-
tons. These purchases were made
before the late rise ; therefore mer-
chants are enabled to fill orders on as
favorable terms as can be procured in
any Northern city. In fact, in many
instances goods have been sold in
New Orleans at prices considerably
below what they could be purchased
for in New York.
Our railroads and river navigation
facilitate both transportation aud trav.
ell, and their rates are as reasonable
as those of any similar corporations.
When we sum up the many advan-
tages, including our excellent and un-
surpassed hotel accommodations, and
the rational amusements offered by
the different Theatres and Opera, to
be derived by the country merchant
when he visits New Odeans, we fail
to find valid excuse why they should
visit Northern markets to enrich the
Golfers Of those who hold no sympathy
with us. Patriotism and selt-respect,
as well as desire to contribute, to.
wards raising our State and her me-
tropolis from their PROSTATE condition,
should stimulate all to make their pur-
chases here, especially when a consid-
cradle saving will be effected by so do,
ing.-Ncw Or1raas Bulletin.

WASHINGTON, March 7.--Northern Dem
ocfatic papers are glowing with display
lines announcing Democratic Victories
and gains in municipal elections. Re-
publican papers are denouncing the As
soelate Press reporters as partisan. Close
reading here shows the Democrats have
gained Immensely, and the gains are 80
widespread as to preclude the idea that
local issues have controlled these results
TO any great extent, or that tho Associated
Press agents have failed to forward truth
ful reports.
Senator Vickers of Maryland arrived and
will present bis credentials OH Monday.
His admission Is certain.
Summons was not served on the Presi-
dent to-day. He will answer by his attor-
ney on Friday and demand reasonable
time for preparation.
The new Georgia case against Meade
comes up next Friday.
The decision In the McCardle case il ex.
peeted two weeks from Monday.
An avalanche at Keystone, Sierra county,
California, buried seventeen persons and

nay The new steamer Bismarck
stopped at our landing last Sunday
morning, on her way to st. Louis.
She brought from New Orleans, a
quantity of freight consisting of corn,
flour, lager beer, etc, for some of our
business men. The Bismarck is not
one of the largest class steamers, but
presents a very neat and handsome
appearance, and is particularly well
arranged and adapted for carrying
all kinds of freight. Altogether, she
is, by no means unworthy the illus
trious name which she bears, and
should Count Bismarck visit the
United States, as we have seen it
intimated he intends doing before
long, we are persuaded that he could
have no reasonable objection to grace
her withhis presence and that he
would findhimself quite comfortably
bestowed on board his namesake.

most painful character, and, in the opinion of
the physician, DIR. Newman, of the Navy, will
require the stTictest attention to preserve the
foot from amputation. Mr.. Curran is a poor
