1--WE give this advice conscientiously.
When we see business firm giving proper
publicity to their particular branch of trade,
we argue at once that such house is alive
to the requirements of the time. It implies
not only keen sagacity, but likewise that
sort of libeTality which is sure to attract the
attention of the trade. Many establishments
forego the benefits of advertising from spir4
it of mere penuriousness. They reason IN
this way: Should we incur an outlay of
$50 or 800, or $500, possibly we may never
get it back again-then it would be so much
thrown away These are timid men al
ways, and properly belong to a past genera
ton. The true man of business, appreciat-
| ing the fair advantages of being represented
in newspaper columns, looks upon adyertis-
ing as bread cast upon the waters'-and
should he find no immediate fruits of his
expenditure, he rests at ease, being fully sat
isfed that it will return after many days


"The business house that displays its ad-
vertisement in bold type and telling words
affords pretty safe index to the spirit which
animates mercantile establishment. We
see in it life, energy, tact-in word, capacity
to cope with cotemporaneous rivalry in the
business world


SIT is fact patent to all observers in this


direction, that advertising houses invaria-


bly, do more business than those that refuse


OF neglect to do so. Where the motive for


this omission can be traced to closeness OF
parsimony, 1t is but reasonable to infer thai


they carry this in spirit all business trans

Swift aud sudden and brief,
When some Ate sxhumes all the showsring blooms

There are currents that fash through the spirits and

Bghted hopes budding white in dim wales OF delight


From impossible seeds,

Things We thought We had learned to forgive or forget


As compassionate men,
Coming back with the tread Of tho eorseleted dead'

Some of our friends, especially those who

alarmed at the results of the recent elections.
IL could not be that the Republican party

the Presidents policy and the extension
of the right of suffrage TO the four
millions of emancpated blacks at the South,
without a reactionary waver OF vibration in its
majorities, like that it felt after 1t decreed

of Emancipation the Union would have been dis

of the Southern States and OF the Union on
that basis of universal suffrage without
which the Democratic party would have re-
turned TO national supremacy, the South
would have returned TO Slavery, or been
swept over by war of races, and
the Republican party would have been ground
to powder for its tilnidity and abandonment OF
the principles Of freedom. The rocking winds
strengthen the oak and give its roots deeper
and fimer hold. SO the measures which tenn

to rebukc and there was no hour of the con-
test in which his heart and voice were not fully

1855 when ho was a candidate for the Court OF
Appeals on the Democratic State Ticket; we
gratefully repeat it now, when he is not can

TO get the Democratic nomination for Governor
of Massachusetts the other day, made speech
at the nominating convention, and some OF the
Democratic papers like it so much that they

EDITING A NEwspAPER.--We clip the following from the Yazoo Miss Ban ner, and endorse every word it contains;

 That the severe labors of the editorial fraternity are not appreciated by the pub lie, there is no room for doubt. and in this assertion We feel assured we are sustained by every poor devil of an editor in exis tencc. The great public have an idea that the life editorial is the most agree able in the world; that the editor has such a fine time sitting up and reading the pa pers. having ice cream and drinks sent to him occasionally, being presented with . coat hat or wa.A.a., 8 e6 ant .sissre ly writing his editorials, paragraphs, s,e, Oh it is delightful. So the great thought less public thinks Writing a leading article upon certain day and hour, sick or well, whether in humor or not, amounts to nothing. It reads off so clearly; there is so little space taken up in the expres- sion of 90 many ideas; the diction is so unaffected and natural that it seems as il it were but few moments labor This is all mistake Let any person who con ceives this notion of the labor of prepar. ing an ordinary newspaper article. try tc write one upon the most hackncyed sub ject, and he will soon find how sadly Ls is mistaken.

TuE TRrrH-The Cincinnati Com mercial, referring to the negro suffrage proposition in Ohio, speaks the truth after the following fashion:

 Of the proposed amendment we will say that it was unwise in Congress to make a political necessity for the friends of Congress to offer it and sup port it at this juncture; and its conclu- sive defeat in Ohio must be accepted as absolute evidence that the extreme Radical policy of converting the South into black Statesis not acccptableto an immense majority of the people of the North.

 2 THE LINCOLN SENsATIoN.-The recent in regard to the pecuni- sry condition of Mrs. Lincoln, and her proposition 10 sell her wardrobe to se- cure support, has started the news paper press after the Radicals and the iilustrious widow at fearful rate.-- The Chicago Times gets off tic follow ing point~l squibs:

 The whole Radical party may foresee it's fate in the operations of woman now in New York trying to sell her dresses and jewels. In little while that party wifi be driven to sell their old clothes and their souvenirs of pow CT and splendor, in order to cke out a miserable existence. The fate of the individual is the fate of the party.

 In order to realize a substantial fund for the support of Mrs. Lincoln, we propose that those ofiice-holders who owe their position to her influence do- nate one per cent. of their stealings. The amount would place her absolute ly above all want.

 The ingratitude of republics is noth- ing to the ingratitude of republicans. If they had any gratitude whatever. they would not allow the wife of their late head to haunt brokers shop to keep from starvation.

 Democrats all over the country will sympathize with the wife of the late President. Let them go to work and make up purse for the woman whom Radicalism, having no further use for, has left to starve.

Must ensue during the coming winter unless creditors should prove vastly more lenient than creditors usually y are. Nearly every plantation is more or less mortgaged, and should foreclosures be insisted upon, the best lands in the State will change hands at a ruinous sacrifice. The lawyers are preparing to reap rich harvest out of cases un- der the new Bankrupt law, for there will probably be no portion of the Union that will contain as large num- Der of insolvents, in propotion to the population, as South Carolina. This condition of affairs is due in great measure to the mania which prevailed here before the war among the land- holders for buying slaves upon long credits, giving a bond for the purchase money secured by mortgage of the slave. The validity of such bonds, in view of the cessation of slavery, has been an interesting question occupy ing much of the attention of the State and Federal Courts during the last twelve months: nor will the contest be. settled until the United States Su- preme Courts shall have pronounced final judgment in the matter. So far, the disposition of Judges seem to have been to affirm the validity of such debts. and fasten the entire loss upon the mortgagers of the slave. Should this ruling be sustained. the army of applicants who have already filed pe- .titions of bankruptcy here will be very largely reinforced.

however, is more controlled by social
influences than by political principles.
If you are wise and firm you may pos
sibly educate the rising generation into
loyalty, but there is no method of
craftsmanship which will make this
generation Of the South loyal to the
Union and the flag. The poison of
thirty years cannot be eradicated by
the subservieney of the President or
the statutes of Congress. Let Us look
the truth in the face. The Southern
men are disloyal, the loyal men of to-
day must guard their children against
another reasonable rebellion.-The
Constitutional Amendment and impair
tial suffrage will help to do this, but
universal amnesty will help 10 undo it.

Mr.. Wilson clinches this pOine by the declara-
ton that men base enough to punish the black
man for his enfranchsement have no right to
complain if their property is confiscated. The
provocation for such a warning as this is
ample, and those to whom it is addressed have
every reason to profit by it. The fact that a
