''Of the nature Of the proof which fastens q

1.-THE information we have received upon
this subject is of the following tenor A note or
despatch, in cypher, was found in Booths
pocket. A paper, in cypher, had previously
been found in JEFF. Davis house in Richmond.
This paper was not supposed to be OF impor-
tance until the one in Booths pocket WAS
compared with it, and by the use Of It was
read. The precise contents OF the Booth
note we do not know, but our information is
that the note proves that Davis was In com.
municatfon with the two men in Canada for
whom rewards have been offered; ana the
subject of the correspondence was the pro.
posed assassination, which 1t is distinctly as.

u S. 1880 LoAN.-By reference TO our
advertising columns, it will be seen that
the government is Offering the epeople Of this
section an opportunity to subscribe to the
seven-tbirty loan. This is the only loan in
market, and as the war is regarded at an
end, it is very popular with the people ey-
erywhere. The profit accruing from invest
ments in this loan is estimated at ten per
cent per annum Besides the income by
interest, these bonds are exempt from State
and municipal taxation. This makes the
bonds still more popular. Everything else
is burthened with taxation, while these
bonds are exempt. No wonder then that
everybody is so anxious to subscribe to the
loan, and everybody SO anxious to invest
It is better to subscribe to this loan than
to own an interest in a never failing oil vein,
for the never failing tax would consume the
oil and impoverish the owner. If people
fail to gobble up these Treasury Notes i'm
mediately, it viii be because they ignore
safe investments. State Banks and private
Bankers throughout the country have agreed
to receive subscriptions at par. Subscribers
can select their own agents.

Many of our young men and young women
seem 10th to 60 to work. Too many young
men are looking for clerkships, or for something
to happen by which they can live without man
ual labor. Young men, you are burning, wast+
ing precious daylight You will haze to work,
and the sooner you begin the better y popu-
lation will soon crowd in here, from the North
and from Europe, that will outstrip you, and
leave you as drones in the great hive, unless you
90 to work noso. BY beginning no,o you can
place yourselves in a situation to compete
with the population referred to; but if with
your habits, and your ideas of labor, you wait
until that population pours 10, and you then
take only an even start with it, you will be left
hopelessly behind.
No ore should be ashamed Of labor It
heightens the bloom of the young woman, and
is pledge that she will make good wife. The
habit Of labor thus formed, she will impart to
her children, and they will be 'jewels" indeed,
if reared in the practice of industry temperance,
and the fear of God Diligence in business is
crown of glory to the young man. He may
be humble in mis- circumstances, and may feel
at times that no one thinks of or regards him;
but let him toll on, conquering by labor and
maintaining a good character for integrity and
morality, and applying himself, whenever he
can, to his books, and measure of success will
at length be his, for which he had not even
hoped in the outset. Poor young men, strug-
CLING to better their condition, often think that
they not noticed or appreciated by the lead
ing, substantial men Of the community. In
this they are mistaken. In almost every in
stance they are known, and talked of, and the
time at last comes when they are taken by the,
hand and led up higher in the sphere OF life1
kHo.,o -.
1t conquers everything. The power of applica-
I ton, physical and mental, made Benjamin
Franklin, Roger Sherman, Henry Clay, Thomas
Francis p. Blair, Abraham Lincoln, and An
renown. Whenever we hear that young men
are complaining of hard labor, and that they are
disposed TO regard it as dshonorable, we feel
, like saying to them, ''Look at Abraham Lin
coin, the rail-spltter, and Andrew johnson, the
tailor, and at Gov. Holden, the printer; and go
thou and do likewise"


Slavery has been abolished, and our young
men and young women can no longer depend on
slave labor. If they will realize at once their
situation, in this and other respects, and will go
to work, and cultivate habits of industry and
selfreliance, it will turn out, in the end, that
the abolition of slavery has been blessing rath
er than an injury to them. But work they
must, or they will become the interiors of the
thrifty and energetic populations that will soon
pour 10; and instead of controlling society and
the affairs of the land of their birth, they will
find themselves poor and without influence.
This is the truth. We feel that it is good ad-
vice, and we trust it will be taken and acted on,

Fortune, success, fame, position, are

the society, the thousand pearly gratifca-

Stick to thing and carry it through. Be

Gentleness in the gait is what simplici-

quick movement inspires involuntary dis

manner, and a gracious tone Of voice-a!l
of which may be aequired--give medi-

those vastly superior to him. To be
bodily tranquil, to speak little, and to di-
gest without effort, are absolutely neces-
