When the glorious old Admiral FARRAGUT
he was only Captain thcn--had destroyed the
rebel navy, and run his feet through the terrible
fire Of the batteries which defended New Orleans,
he len BES BurLER to t,ke possession of the con-
qucrcd city and gather up the spoiis, while he
pushed on up tho Mi,sissippi to finish up the
work Of opening that river. lie dashed first past
Port Hudson, and then past Vicssburg, running
the fire Of the rebel batteries at both places in
his usual gallant style. On arriving north of
Nicksburg. he found Admiral PoRTER lying of
the city with his fleet Of irOn.clads.
FARRAGur, as became veteran of his age
was a little old-fashioncd in his notions lie
believed that wooden ships, well manned and
handled, and fought at close quarters, were on
the whole more efficient than the clumsy and
unwieldy iron-cads now in vogue; and he c,r-
tainlY did great deal to prove it. PORTER on
the other hand, believed in iron-clads case
mates, and fighting at long range with all the
modern improvements. At the taking Of New
Orleans, PoRTER's pant consisted, it will be re.
membcrcd, in throwing large bombshclls at the
forts from fleet Of mortar vessels at great dis
lance nm exploit which made a great deal Of
noise at the time, both at the scene and in the
popcrs, but which does not appear to have been
attended with any important practical conse-
qu-nccs,
About this time somebody wrote 20 a Memphis
| editor mquiring whether each of these two com
mnndgrs had an iron-clad feet. The editor who

castle, Informed his correspondent in reply that
the fleet below Nicksburg-FARRAorFs- a

that above Vcksburg-PoRTERs-w an iron
| feet with wooden commander
1t is said that Ldmiral PoRTER was furious
when this met his eye. He wanted to send a
file Of marines at once and arrest and court-mar-
tal the offending editors but he was finally
| persuaded to restrain his wrath. But the story
| was long standing Joke IN the West.

AN EXTRACT from the Memphis Ap-
peal. which We have appropriated, says
recent developments in bankrupt courts
everywhere shows that it pays to adver-
tise. Firms that have advertised literally
have not entered the Bankrupt Court,
and newspapers wholly fail to receive
notices OF their customers. Ins0lyent's
accounts show almost invariably, as Off
GERS Of these bankrupt courts affirm. that
the affairs of insolvents improve at the
very time that their books show that
they have advertised most literally
Over speculation knocks one under. Re-
sorting to the note shaver cleans out an
other. Stock gambling floor the third.
Domestic extravaganza clips the wings
Of many young house. Working on
insufficient capital throws fifth. But
that instance has yet to be given where
close investigation of the looks of
bankrupt showed that liberal advertising
caused his overthrow. On the contrary,
it mas saved many and lost none !; and yet
like the word of the gospel, it is open to
all and every business man may avail
himself of it on equal terms. It is not
locked up by Injunction OF patent. The
beginner can avail himself of it as well
as the established house, and there is no
preference given to the rich over the
poor, or to men of one class over another
If, then, every successful man, with few
very rich exceptions, advertises largely;
if extensive advertising is never quoted
as cause Of bankruptcy if very many
humbugs succeed simply by the power
of advertising, does it not pay to adver-
tise?

THE election of King of Spain sup
plies that poor country with figure
head. This at all events, is all that can
now be predicated concerning an event
whose Importance for good or ii depends
upon the future acts of a person who has
as yet done nothing to indicate his char
acter or afscrd any information as to his
bias or capacity. Amadeus. late Duke
of Aosta, now proclaimed King of Spain,
in pursuance of the vote of the Cortes, is
the second sou of King Victor Emanuel.
liz all other respects, he IS about as well
known to the Spanish Cortes and people,
as gentleman might be expected to be
10 this country before being named for
seat in the Cabinet, or as Minister to
England. The polite and pious form of
expression, applicable to such occasions,
is that it is to be sincerely hoped he will
do WELL So we, having no reason to
doubt that Amadeus made an admirable
Duke of Aosta. may indulge, without
apprehension, in the lively hope that he
may make a lit and proper King for
Spain-whatever that may mean.

FATE OF THE GssANB JURY SIS
TETE.

The Milwaukee Sentinel is of the opin-
ion that The proposed amendment to the
constitution. relating to the Grand jury
system. is defeated. The returns are
very meager, many papers making 10
allusion to the vote in their counties on
the subject, but, from what we have
seen, we are Of the opinion that the
amendment has been carried by a very
large majority OF the votes polled. :
Milwaukee gives about 2 500 majority
against the amendment ersop 81
against These are IL - nguntIes
which have given majoritiss eainst the
amendment, IS far as we have seen the
vote published On the other hand,
Colnmbia gives l,747 majority; Rock
2244 majority; Dane 308 majority;
Dodge l42 majority; Marquette APO ma
jority; Winnebago about 2, 900 majority;
Green Lake about 1000; Vernon 1000
all against the Grand jury system.
There can be no doubt but that the
amendment has been carried, and it will
be incumbent on the next Legislature to
supply a new method of procedure against
criminals.

THE Captain of the schooner EBe in
forms us, that when his crew reached the
shore, wet and exhausted, after being
wrecked en- Thursday last, they went to
a tavern, near the pier. End asked to be
kept over night The landlord peremp-
torily refused them, and would not even
permit them to stay in the house at all,
although they offered to pay literally for
any kind of accommodation. The poor
sailors had to camp out all night on the
beach aud could hardly keep from freez-
ing in spite of the fire they built to
keep them alive.
That landlord ought to be marked and
taught humanity In a striking manner.
