conclusion. Indeed, the intentions of England.
as already communicated to the government Of
tho Emperor, leave no room for immediate OBJ
%jections though they may have prompted the
suggestion Of a preferable alternative. The
English Cabinet has simply stated that we shall
refrain from all intervention with Russian con-
quests in Central Asia, 50 long as they don't ex-
coed certain specified limits. OF course, it is
implied that if those limits are exceeded we
should regard it as q cause of war. We should
embark IN an Eastern war with far more power
Jul resources, indeed, than Russia, but also with
a far greater stake.'
The last news to hand from Dr.. Livingstone

of goods, forwarded by Mr.. Stanley for his use.
He had subsequently, set out on a journey Of

Memphis, Tenn, August L, 1873,

Memphis, Tenn, August L, 1873,
GENTLEMEN:
The WESTERN METHODIST has a larger
and wider circulation now than at any former
period of its history.
The field it occupies is principally within
convenient trading distance of Memphis.
1t is subscribed for and read by a goodly
number of the best citizens of this country.
Within a fraction of SEVEN THOUSAND
copies are printed and circulated every week
The paper is large, labor and material are
high; hence it costs heavily to pay expenses
The subscription price is too small to justify
its publication without a liberal advertising
patronage.
We are particular as TO the character of all
that appears in our columns. We admit
nothing inconsistent, according to our judg-
ment.
We have been literally patronized by you
heretofore, and in this we make our acknowl-
edgments, believing what you have spent with
us has been mutually beneficial.
The prospects throughout the territory con-
tiguous, are not as promising perhaps as at
former periods, yet we look for q brisk fall
and winter business.
We most respectfully sollcit your help in
the advertising department. We will call in
person upon as many as we can. Those we
fail TO see viii find us at our Office No. 27gJ%
Main street, upstairs, over Boyle & Chap
mans book store, where we will be pleased to
see them, and will make most favorable
terms. Respectfully,
