KROM and after the first day of January 1861.
I 1 my business will change from an everlasting
credit, to a strictly Cash business. I prefer the
cash if the profits are not so good. 1 have
bought goods on time and sold them on time,
ami the consequence is, I cant collect enough to
meet my liabilities.
I am very thankful to my old friends and cus
tomers for past patronage, and hope they will
continue to call at the same old stand with the
ready cash, where they will always find a com
plete stock of Groceries and Provisions. 1 will
sell goods lower than any house in the city who
sell on time. Respectfully.

An ambulance is a moving hospital
attached to an anny for the purpose of
rendering’ immediate assistance to sick
er wounded soldiers It will pci haps
interest the reader to have a descrip'
tion of the ambulances captured by out'
troops after the battle of Manassas :
The body is fifty inches wide, and is
divided into two compartments, each
one entered by means of a door at the
rear T lie driver sits out-side, entirely
away from the sufferer, and is protected
from inclement weather by an adjusta
ble calash top. The ambulance has
four steel springs resting’ on the flexi
ble hickory shafts, and the bed on
which are attached by small wheels to
facilitate the movement in and out' f a
won ded soldier, without his rising’.—
Tiie bed and mattress is a decidedly in
genious arrangement, and should be
seen to be fully understood. Either
end can be raised at any elevation de
sirable, made into a g’ood pillow in an
instant. A small trap-door in the cen
ter of the be I, worked by means of a*,
spring bolt, affords a, convenienc* t<»-
the sufferer that can easily be apprecia
ted. If the weather is warm, and the
sun too hot to admit of hoisting the cur
tain a turn of a button unloosens a sec
tion of tiie side which drops down upon
its hinges, and the cool iir can pass
through (and over the inmate,) while
the curtains shut out the rays of thcsu’i
Several also have a rack over the bed
where trunks or any clothing desirable
can be placed, and everything that
would conduce to the c nnfort of the
wouu led be immediately within iiis
reach. In fact, the new ambulance is a
complete moveable liospita’, in which
the sull'erer can rest at case, forgetful
that he is in the camp or upon the de
sert ;d battle Held.
Dispatches Direct for Europe. — We
learn that Senior Moncada, Spanish
Consul lor the States of North Carolina,.
South Carolinia, and Georgia, has dis
patched special messengers to his Gov
ernment in Madrid, as well as to the*.
Governor General of Cuba, giving* the*
full accounts of the great rout of the*
21st inst. lie has also made arrange
ments to have the latest news of the
wav, from Southern : ounces, regularly
telegraphed to Madrid immediately up
on the arrival of lhe steamers at
Liverpool. This would imply that Her
Catholic Majesty’s Government is not
far behind England and France in anx
iety C'jiicerning the issue of the war.

Proposed Peace Meeting in New
York. A correspondent writes to the
“ Journal of Commerce” :
1 desire simply to say that the p o
nosal to hold a meeting in New York,
is worth taking into consideration.—
T he people arc ahead of you, could you
speak—they arc always wiser than the
papers. It is not too .ate to semi the
olive branch of peace founded upon*
justice. Blessed, thrice blessed arc the
peacemakers.
