spending some time in Rayvile, accompanied
by his good lady, and left most favorable
impression upon the minds of all our citizens,
with whom he became acquainted, as most
pleasing and atfabe gentleman and sterling
business man. He laughs at the idea OF
Nicksburg being better cotton market than
the Crescent City, and wishes any who may
entertain doubt upon the suhjec, TO give hi
house a trial. We bespeak for this house, n,
one of the best in New Orleans, a most liberal
share of the patronage from this section. By
reference to their card in another column, i,
will lie seen that arrangements have been
made with merchants in our town, by which
liberal cash advance can be obtained on cot
