a scufiie Mr.. F. LEA was thrown violently
over the Railroad bridge, falling great dis

yertising is, when man does anything mean,
or gets up before the courts, he comes running
to MS, '.please don't say anything about that
little affair in the JOURNAL, it will ruin me
and give publicity to my shame" So you see

NOTWITHSTANDING that Jay Cooke &
Co. the great New York Bankers, have passed
in their checks as dead broke and have sus-

honoring all drafts made upon it, and furnishing
enough money to buy all the cotton that our
planters may bring to this market. So come
on with your cotton.
