New Orleans Advertisement is.

First among our new advertisements,
(inserted last weekly is that of T.. J.
Hart & Co. This establishment, besides
being one of the oldest, is one of the
most liberal Grocery and Drug houses
in New Orleans. The Harris have an
extensive trade, a name based on long
= ears or business, and are still ready
and anxious to secure Il liberal share of
the orders sent to New Orleans.
HARDWARE.
The largest assortment of Hardware,
Cutlery, Plows, ETC., to be found in the
Crescent City, is that OF "A. Baldwin Il
Co., formerly Slocomb, Baldwin Il Co.
This house docs a heavy importing
business, and keeps on hand almost
any and every thing wanted in its line
OF business.
STATIONERS.
Jas. A. Gresham, the wcll-llnOWn
etationcr and bookseller, of Camp
8 trcet, claims Il hearing from our pat
rons Gresham has a complete stock ,
and may be relied upon implicitly.
Mr.. Fitzwilliam, also on Camp street,
claims the attention OF our readers.
We have patronized Fitzwilliam a
number of years, and expect to continue
doing so.
BOOTS AND SHOES.
John Henry & Co., on Common
street, do an exclusive boot and shoe
business. Merchants buying stocks,
can find no moro accommodating gen
tlcman than Mr.. Henry to deal with,
and all he asks is careful inspection
of his goods and prices.
HOTELS.
We refer to the card of the Ouachita
House with pleasure, and inform our
readers that the proprietors are old res
iclents of the Ouachita valley. These
gentlemen keep good table and good
beds, and charge only $500 per day.
The City Hotel not only holds its
own, but even improves upon its repu'
tation. Mr.. Morse looks carefully to
the comfort of his guests, and in Mr..
Watson he has valuable assistant
The City, we can say, surpasses itself.

River and Boats.

The river is on a stand, at about two
feet below this seasons highest water.
The Bart Able has commenced max
ing weekly trips to Camden. She left
New Orleans Friday, and passed down,
on the return, Wednesday morning.
The Strader carried down a very
large lot of slaves, taken on in the
upper river.
The Ouachita Belle was crowded with
people, on her last trip, who were going
to see the sights in New Orleans during
the Carnival.
Boats from above report a decided
decrease in the receipts of cotton. The
Bartholomew trade appears to be hold
ing up the longest. A considerable
amount of the staple is still unginned
along that stream.
The Garry Owen passed down yester-
day with fine load of cotton, and
three colored gentlemen around the
starboard chimney.

Personal.

OF the citizens of Monroe who went
to New Orleans to pay their tribute to
Rex, we remember Mr.. J. G. Sanders,
T.. p. Stubs, Esq, and Col. II. Rich
ardsOn.
Mr.. J. w. McMerty is in town. Nc.
says he has a lot of No. mules on
hand which he is offering to give
away.
David Lemle has removed to Tren-
ton. Dave is a tirst-rate Hebrew child,
and we hope he will do we'll.
Mr.. A. F. Jackson has again taken q
situation as salesman with the popu-
lar Trenton house Of Head and Nc
Lain.

Once For All.

We are constrained to say, for the
guidance of delinquent subscribers, that
the many indulgences granted by this
Office must cease. If We owned q tub
mill, or had a printing contract, we
could afford to supply papers gratis.
The TELEGRAPH, however, relies en-
tirely upon its own merits and the
honor of the people. ~ Unless our delin-
quent friends (who are numbered by
hundreds) pay their dues, and that
soon, we intend to invoke the aid Of
the newspaper laws, and these laws
are explicit, stringent and directly to
the point. In short, our accounts must
be settled.

Nlurplley Il Williamson.

The firm of j. P. Murphey & Co., OF
Trenton, having been dissolved, Mr..
w. G. Williamson joins Capt. Murphey
in establishing the new firm of Murpley
& Williamson, who will continue bust
ness at the old stand. Both members
Of the new firm arc we'll known in the
Trenton trade-and are known most
favorably. In their business dealings
both these gentlemen, from young
clerks up, have earned only good words
and the confidence of those who know
them best. We trust their present
venture will be q success.

AICLAIN & BENNETT.-These two
young men, who are engaged in plant

Waverly, are both energetic, money
making men, whose industry, tact and
assiduity command from us high tes-

are striving to make thier mark as bus

The Lcnten season is upon us. The
supply Of "Ouachita trout" unfortu-
nately, is quite slim; but the fishermen
are catching a new kind of fsh-a fell

rows of horns on his back, and a mouth
like an old-fashioned reticule, which
may prove, during Lent, to be a very
good substitute for beef-stealks behind

ing HIM free to change his position in any
direction by means Of the machinois These
two balloons are confined by framework

says that the contning of the gas In frame

The seat is between aud below the two
balloons and behind the main shaft of the
machinery, winch can be rotated by either

while a small driving wheel to the right en-
ablos him TO reverse the motion easily. The

any greater specific gravity than the air,
the velocipedst propels himself in any di-
reclion 10y means of three wheels of canvas
stretched over light framework, and FASH
med similarly to the screw of a propeller.
The wheels are to work in connection with
a rudder Which is 1t the front oil tho whole

The rudder consists OF two parts, one of
which is perpendicular. and is worked lat,

other is horizontal, and guides up or down.
Both are governed hy cords, One OF the
three screw wheels is above the head OF the

by means of a cogwheel connecting the two

pedc forward and upward, while the reverse
