SPECIAL NOTICES.

The advantages Of advertising cannot be too
highly appreciated, aud all business men who
succeed in tbs highest degree are liberal ad-
vertisers. Messrs. Mansfield & Higbee, Of
Memphis, havs been the most liberal advertis-
ers in the South Of their preparations, and THE
immense sale of their goods Is proof Of the ad-
vantages of offering them to tho people. They
spent last year over 100000 in nd .ertising,
and this year they will almost treble It.. While
they advertise literally they furnish a class Of
preparations that give the utmost satisfaction
to all who try them, and their success is based
upon the curative powers OF what they offer t.
the public proving to all who try their rene
dies that what they say about their prepare.
tions Is true, and public confidence is Of thu
fullest extent in the reliability Of these gentle
mems representations. II

"The Ten Thieves.

The following communication appeared in
the Argus yesterday:
do not profess to know who are meant by
''The ten thieves" though l have my suspi.
cions.
For myself, can only say that never
used the expression, and never entertained
the opinion attributed to me. All l ever
said, or intended to say, was, that high posi-
ton and good character only serve to make
men the more dangerous, when they over
step certain boundaries.
The decision of the L. s. Supreme Court,
refusing to entertain !the question submitted
on a writ Of error, from our highest Court,
following the decision Of our judges, which
exonerated the parties charged, and fully
justified their procedure, as l understand it,
have led me to reconsider the views have
heretofore expressed, and to re-examine all
the facts within my reach, and the result
has satisfied me that have been grievously
mistaken in my first Impressions. Yet sure
- that have been misled By others, and
made cats paw of, by men who choose to
take advantage of my earaestness and zeal
in the cause of public improvement, where
had not dollar interest beyond that which
held in common with most of my fellow
citizens, as members of this community.
Let me add, unsolicited, that am heartily
sorry for having so Inexperienced the law,
and still more for having been SO deceived, so
misunderstood, and so misrepresented as a
caluminator. w. - JOAN NEAL.
