The Sun for 1872.
TO ALL WHO CAN READ.
The N. Y. Weekly Sun Doubled in

The N. Y. Weekly Sun Doubled in
SIZE WITHOUT INCREASE IN PRICE.
MYTH the beginning of 1872 the
w Weekly Sun has been doubled
in size. 1t now contains eight pages
instead of four. making it equal in d.
mansions to any other weekly secular
journal published in this country. At
the same time its price has not been
increased. 1t will be furnished to
subscribers at the uniform rate of 81
year for each copy. To this rate no
exception will be made and no reduc-
ton will be possible, either to clubs or
agents. Every subscriber who sends
a dollar will receive a copy for year.
While the Weekly Sun thus furnish
es as much reading matter as ether
papers published at double or treble
the price it will contain new features
which will add greatly to its interest
and value as family newspaper. It's
independence of opinion and its mn
qualified hostility TO Tweedism and
Grantism, and every form of public
robbery, bribery, and corruption will
be maintained, while in point of polit-
ical news its readers may rely upon
always receiving the most accurate as
well as the freshest intelligence that
canpossihly be obtained. The enlarge
ment enables US also to devote addi-
tienal space to valuable agricultural
intelligence, and to print interesting
stories and romances more extensively
than hitherto. For miscellaneous
reading presenting the quaint and
humorous aspects of life, and for use
full information respecting not only
what takes place in this metropolis and
tins country, but in all other parts of
the world, we now have made ample
room.
In its new form the Weekly Sun is.
the cheapest paper of its class in the
United States; and we appeal to such
of our readers as approve its ideas and
objects and find it interesting and val.
liable, not only to renew their own sub
scriptions, but to recommend the paper.
to their friends and neighbors.
This year is destined to be a memoir
able one in the history of the country.
1--WE are on the eve of a most significant
Presidential election, and political
movements will for many months be
watched with unusual interest. As a
journal, free from the trammels of
party, the Weekly Sun will continue
to uphold the principles of true repub.-
lican government. Its readers are in
vited to sustain it in that work. The
truth. irrespective of party prejudice
or official influence, will always be told
in its columns.

GENTLEMEN-Upon mature de-
liberation, it seems fit that | should
give to your letter of the 10th
inst. some further and fuller re-
Spouse than the hasty, uDpreme d
itated words i'm which | acknowl-
edge and accept your nomination
at our meeting on the 18th
That your convention saw fit to
accord its highest honor to one
who had been prominently and
pointedly opposed to your party
in the earnest and sometimes an
CRY controversies of the Last for
ty years, is essentially notewor-
thy. That many of you original
" preferred that the Liberal
Republicans should present an
other candidate for President,
and would more readily have
united with us in the support of
Adams or Trumbul, Davis or
Brown, is we'll known. l owe my
adoption at Baltimore to the fact
that L had already been nomina-
ted at Cincinnati, and that a con-
centration of forces upon any
new ticket had oeen proved
impracticable. Gratified as l am
at your concurrence in the Gin
cinRati nominations, certain as l
am that you would not have thus
coucurred had you not deemed ME
upright aud capable, L find
nothing in the circumstances cal.
cuIated to intlame vanity OF
nourish self, conceit.
But that your convention saw
fit in adopting the Cincinnati
ticket, TO reaf1irm the Cincinnati
platform, is to me a source of the
profouadest satisfaction. That
party was constrained to take
this important step by no party
Necessity real or supposed. II

yates of the liberal republicans

itself deliberately, by vote near

piles which are at once incontesta
bty republican and emphatically
democratic, gives trustworthy as
'sursnee that a new and NOR,

our long~distracted country.
Some of my best years ant

NEW ORLEANS CARDS
The. Singer Manufacturing
Co.'s New Family Sewing Machine
Sewing Machine Sales for
1871.

TVNhe magnitude TO which the Sewing Ma
il chine business has grown is only sur
passed by the rivalry of the various Compel
itOrs, few of whom are unfamiliar with the
numerous articles resOrted to for the com
mendation and sale of the particular ma
chine sought to be sold.
If the number of sales be any criterion of
the merits of the different machines, it can
not be denied that the Singer, owing to the
popularity of what is known AZ our New
Family machine far surpasses all others,
more machines than any other company, as
shown by sworn returns of the companies,
which returns are made under tine licenses
granted them by the owners of the sewing
machine patents

" NOT JUST Now. Under this cap
tion the Sacramento Union of Saturday
contains comments in reply to Il question
asked by the Marysvile Apprat, whether
it would publish the Goat Island bill Or
not. The Union says ''it is not in the
habit Of reprinting, as reading matter,
the paid advertisement Of the monopoly
in the chicadee press" The Transcript
published the bill without pay or any
promise Of pay, to show our readers that
the Union had lied about the bill. The
heading of the article is mostappropriate.
The scavenger sheet will not publish the
bill, because it gives the lie to everything
it has said in regard TO it; but after cleo
tion, when the Congressional issue has
been decided, it will probably publish it.

Old Things Have Passed Away.

This is Mt least true of the old method
Of treating the long abused and much
abused human body. 1t is no longer
considered wise to put patient to the
torture in order to cure him Of disease
in which pain is already undermining
the energies Of his system. True science
ranges itself on the side of nature, and
tries to assist her in her fight against dis
ease. This is the province of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, the most approved tonic
ever advertised in this country. 1t may
be recommended as a iaH medicine, par
excellence; Tor it is in the fall that bill
iousness, dyspepsia and malarous fevers
are especially prevalent. The frame, cx-
hauSted by the heats of Summer, is re-
laXed and feeble at its close. and requires,
we may say demands, artificial assistance.
Afford 1t that assistance in occasional
doses of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and
the evils referred to may be escaped.
Throughout the far West, and on the
steaming alluvial of the Southern rivers,
all the varieties OF periodical fevers are
probably rife to-day. Had a course of
Hostetter's Bitters been commenced by
the sufferers a month ago, i. G., before
the unhealthy season set in, seven-eighths
of them would in all probability be in
their usual health at the present time.
So much for want of foreoaste. SO much
for not keeping in the house, and using
daily the best safeguard against epidemic
and endemic fevers.
As focks of impostors and imitators are
trying to follow in the wake of the great
American remedy, therefore be sure that
the article you buy is genuine and verified
by the proper trade marks. The true
article can only be obtained in bottles
Beware of the spurious bitters sold by the
gallon or in Reg. l0oct.

Brown is collecting toll on the Riverside

he was at Virginia City and Bill Kellogg
and Ned Hubbell were there also. Dur
ing his trip north Mr.. Cochell saw Mr..
b. f. Lewis, after whom Lewiston was
called. Mr.. Lewis is located in Goose

Political SPEAKING. As yet the
campaign has not opened in Trinity coun-
ty, but the first shot will be fired at Wea-
y'rville this Saturday evening by Hons.
w. W. Pendegast and 10 Hamilton, who
will endcavor to show the people why
they should prefer Greeley and Brown to
Grant and Wilson. On Tuesday evening
next, October 22d, Hon. John M. Cogh-
ian, Republican nominee for Congress
from this District, will talk to our citizens
and give his views on existing issues.
We regret that Mr.. Coghlan's opponent
could not make it convenient (?) to come
with him. On Monday evening, October
2Sth, Hons. A. p. Van Duzer and l..
N. Foulke will speak at Weaverville in
behalf of the Grant and Wilson Electoral
ticket. We presume these will be all
the public speakers with whom Trinity
will be favored during this campaign,
and bespeak them all full attendance.

cannot rid himself of the desire to "et
the South 60" Even in his ashes live
their wonted ires-of secession sympathy.
Perhaps the following extract from his
Pittsburg speech of September 10Th may
have had something to do with the size
OF Hartrantt's majority;

discussion before the Southern people.

LOVE, Ill FORTUNE AND SUICIDE. -
A young Chlnawoman, generally pro-
nounce1 the belle of Chinatown, COM
mitted suicide last Monday by taking
opium. The circumstances as we gather
them are highly romantic, and deserv-
Ing to be embalmed by the Chinese story
teller. The young woman was lately
brought to Weaverville by an old rascal,
who is said to make the traffic in Chinese
females his sole occupation and finds it
profitable. This unfortunate victim of
his avarice would not submit to dishonor
and was a prottless investment on his
hands. She met with dashing, honest
miner from the Flowery Kingdom, by
whom her tender affections were led cap
tive and who reciprocated her tenderness.
with all the ardor of vigorous and i'm
passioned manhood. 1t was necessary to
their happiness that the hero of our tale
should redeem his fair one from the
clutches OF the ogre who claimed her as
his property. He toiled and boarded un-
til by hard labor and economy he got to-
gether three hundred dollars towards her
ransom. But this was not half enough.
She was a fancy piece of property and
was held at the fancy price of eight hund-
red dollars. To get this sum by hard
knocks would require long years of toll,
perhaps lifetime. She might be sent
away might be compelled to marry an
other, ard if not to walt till he could earn
the money was an insupportable thought.
The future of the loving and unfortunate
pair was of inky blackness. But one
feeble ray Of hope was perceptibe through
the surrounding darkness. In the laby-
rinths of Chinatown there dwelt terri
BILE beast whose conquest would result in
glory and wealth to the successful antago-
mist. Animated, doubtless, by the max
inns that Fortune favors the brave"
and "None but the brave deserve the
fair" last Sunday night our hero attack
ed the tiger in his den, resolved to con-
quer if possible. The rest is briefly told
He lost all but his honor, and his duci-
nea drowned her woe in cup Of cold poi
son. She was buried by her master
without display and all her wearing ap-
parel, perhaps two hundred dollars in
value, was burned at her grave.
