advancing and building up the in

Such items as the above are copied
from the local papers into the col

their northern circulation and b1'

northern journals of1ike character

throughout the north. Hence the
great number of circulars. ris-

the journals above referred to, are.
in modest way, doing good deal
for the south. The development
of the manufacturing. interests and

formation, and to present in a prop

mails are dependent in greatness

press, as veil as on their own corps
of correspondents. --..e ar
