Advertising and its Re,uIts,

The following comes from New York paper
1.-The changes going on in society make it necessary
for business man TO keep before the people. If
he expects to succeed in trade, fair statement of
what he is doing, and will do, is necessary for him
self and those dealing with him. He must make
this statement, and does do it in some way If he
sells anything. People are quite apt TO go where
their attention is called and if they find things as
represented they will purchase there in preference
to spending their time in seeking elsewhere Those
whose patronage and influence are of the greatest
value never spend too much time in looking up
thing. They have learned that time is money and
that without time In this world money is worthless
1t is conclusive that there is merit well as profit
in advertising honestly and fairly in telling people
what and how you will do and then doing it. Those
who are willing to trade strictly upon principle can
circulate advertisement throughout an entire
community, and it viii have just as much force as
though they spoke TO each individual by word, or
each visited their establishment and examined for
himself. This advertising only amounts to the
same as telling your patron when he calls on you
how You will sell to him. II is Just to all con-
cerned to advertise cOnscientiousIy and those who
do it viii find advertising of the utmost inpor-
tancer

How an Illinois Merchant Made II
PAY

The Indianola (Iil) Visitor relates this incident
"In 1861, young man was employed in this place
as clerk in house, at the moderate sum Of four
dollars per week. In the fall of 1862 he went into
a small business on his own hook. In 1863 he
formed copartnership with his brother When
the senior OF this firm threw his little bark on the
sea of public trade, we suggested to him how to
advertise He took our adTice-foIlowed it strictly
to the letter-using more printers ink than all the
business firms Of Indianoa combined The result
Of our advice together with the honesty, integrity
and gO-aheadatigeness Of this firm, has given them
q competency and foothold among the people Of
Warren that will tell big in after gears"

REBEL RADICAL RECORDs,

We have already hurEicdly reviewed the
records of such Rebel Radicals as Col.
Wisener, Cadet Butler and Horace May
nard. We think the Radicals rather like
for their candidates TO have Rebel streak

nominated as a candidate for Senator. ia
the Knoxville district, Mr.. Stsley, who
served IN the Rebel Qhartermaster's de.
pariment, As a matter of course, we
are told by fhe Radicals that in doing Sc,
he yielded TO surrounding seifcum-
stances. 81 It is very happy faculty
which the Radical candidates have of
yielding 70 surrounding, circumstance"
q Our next in tarn would be the honora-
bic member from The mountain district.
But he has been quite i'll recently and
could not perhaps stand a full dose of

THE Loss OF THE CAPTAIN.
Narrative of the Survivors.-Full and
Particular Account Oh thc AWIul
Affair.

A Portsmouth letter (Septemner l2l to the
London Standard gives some interesting par
ticulars in regard to the loss Of this celebrated
irou-clad, the largest and most formidable OF
the British navy. The letter says:
From the statements of the few who have
pbeen saved, it appears that about midnight on
the 9Th instant, the ship was in company with
the Channel fleet, about lorty miles of Cape
Finlsterre. cruising under double-reefed fore
and maintopsails, and foretopmast staysail and
mainsai. and the toresail hauled up, there be-
ing ut the time a very strong breeze and
heavy sea. The starbuarl wat Ii had been call
ed ut l2 o'clock and were being mustered,
when squal struck the ship On the port side,
causing her to give q heavy lurch 10 starbOard
As she did not right herself, Captain Burgoyne,
who was on the bridge, gave the order TO low
er the topsail, but In consequence OF the yards
being braced sharpup, the ship al the time
being on the port tack, il did not come down.
Orders were promptly given to let go the lee
braces and man the top-sail downhaul,
but by this time the ship had been again
struck by heavy sea. and she was COM
nletely hove on her beam-ends, with the
water pouring down her funnel, and she then
tnrned bottom upward and gradually sunk

struck to her going down, only from I'VE TO
tsn minutes elapsed The number on board
at the time was about $40. When the Captain
was arst lost sight Uf, 1t vas thought that sne
had missed the fleet, which Is not an uncom-

THE TROUBLES IN NEEBERRF.
ARRFUTATION OF THE RADICAL
SANDERS
The colored People Alone to Blame.
from the Sewberry Herald.l

The affair, or rather violent incendiary out
break near Belmont-better known as the
Chappell dltficulty-was brought about 0y the
negroes, who would have taken the law Into
their own hands, and. according to their mode
Of accomplishing it, would have precipitated
q reign Of terror had they been permitted to
carry out their bloodv ard incendiary purpose.
This, however, fortunately for them and the
quiet of the district, was frustrated by the
prompt, decisive. yet n-5earing action OF the
white people, who qalckly responded to the
cali made BY The lawful authority-the sheriff
and turned out In such force as quickly con-
rinced the marauders that they stood upon
dangerous ground. This party senslbly dis
persed, after giving up all OF the ringleaders
who could be found. Now comes tne CLINTON
trouble.
1t is charged by the Radical leaders that q
funeral procession was fired into BY party OF
white men, "burning for fight" which was
the first cause Of the armed outbreak. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that IL Is q base false
hood, and none but ialse-hearte1, houndish
knaves would utter 1t. The first shot fired was
by the negroes-an armed oody on thelr way
to Clinton TO seize tile arms which they had
been told the white men were about taking
who fired into party of four or five gentle
men. who were going to Clinton on peaceful
mission, looking to the very salvation OF these
very black men. Here was the first shot fired;
lt was returned and four OF the negroes
were slightly wounded, one In the arm, one in
the mouth one in the breast and the other in
the thigh. This they brought on themselves;
had they not been the aggressors, no harm
would have happened 10 them.
1t would be a waste Of time and Of Ink to
enter into a detailed argument refuting the
many base talsehoods which the Radical lead
ers bring TO bear in bolstering mp their cause,
and in their keen desire to stir up the passions
OF the ignorant masses. We simply state
facts, that the press Of the country may be In
formed of the truth; and thai so far from the
white men being the instigators and movers IN
are those who are burning for a fight, they
have, from the very beginning, striVen, with
all their powers of persuasion, to alay the
very difficulties which they are accused OF In:
stiGating, and have borne provocations heaped
up and almost running over.
