For Business Men, Wholesale Dealers and Retail Dealcrs-Stndents, Clerks, Accono- tants ^nd Book-keepers, Yon Ire Known. Septembeu '23. 186G.—Koticing on -tbe second Column of the second page of your issue of last Saturday (the 22d) an .article headed “^.n Evil tliat requires Checking,” at Id relating to tlfe present reckless conrsc of yonng men, I deemed it a duty to write a few words lor the benefit of those and other young men, and men of business generally, relative • to a snrveilance that is kept over them, not by the officers of the law, but by the protectors of mcreautile interest ;und' they never suppress a name, or an evil, or an hpuorable deed coiuxeted with it In the United States at the present time there are between seven hundred aud sev enty-five thousand and eight hundred thou sand men aud women engaged in the various branches of the trade, its manutheturers, wholesale.dealcrs, retail dealers, commission merchants, newspaper proprietors, contrac tors and speculators, to say. nothing of the innumerable host of lawyers, doctors,auth ors, teachers, iusurauce agents and pedlers, thht live and thrive in every city, village and township in America, And yet; almost countless as is their number, spread mat, iw they are over a vast territory of country, shrewd, cunning and retired, mid to the world unknown, asinanvof them confident ly bel ier e ihemsel ves to he; they a re watched tneir birth into the business world is recor ded. .. * Their every deed of mark, whether it be aa exploit of heroism, such as might well and deservedly east the mantle of well-worn tame upon the" hero, or the achievement of a noble purpose, in the accomplishing ofwhich is reward.siitticient forthe truly benevolent, or whether it Viea.deetl ot' frattd and dishon esty, of deceitfiilness and cunning trick, it is alike enrolled upon the book.' Kul only, as otic might suppose, is it inscribed upon the great and ever opi.i ledger of the lica- venlywirchives, to be seen by mail only when he may be called upon nt the last great day tobalauceius long and finalaiocoiuvt;but npon a-book inthe.handsof man, where the eyes 'of the initintetl may at uny tiriie see, in alphabetical order, written down the name and character of every man doing business in tlCe Unitml States; aye. not only is his naino and character tlierain recorded, but his business history mid his bnsineis talent, ‘ is Wealth mnd h»d' business , in itinnjsinstanees, the condition of lii* domestic relations are put down, and that, with such method aud care that, to know but a name is to know a history. Now, so complete is this vast net-work of information, and so reliable arc its resources •that men, ois the strength of it, daily and hourly risk thousands and hundreds of thou sands. Sonic, when, told of this, will shake ■their heads with incredulity, and, no doubt, ejaculate, improbable, impossible, and hard to believe. Jlut, liotwithstaiidiugall ofthis’ it is so; nnd,. fertile information of those whom such information .may benefit;! will give the inside-working history ofthis great machine of mercantile intelligence. JVior to'.the .year 1841 the wholesale mer chants of.Xcw York City, Boston, I’liila- delphia arid other prominent points discoa- cred that each year they were losing immense sums ofinoncy by the sale of goods and mer chandise to parties who were insolvent and dishuuest, and for a longtime it seemed to the businessmen as though each successful fraud tended but t ■'— * l -~ 1 " c the pluutlerers. system of credi sogeneralb con It ev. up, fes bit wholesale t ruining th mell, .who, but aboqe the light To aoconn’p|isli leading mcrciiant and I’ltilndelpliii mercantile worh cast-such a net-work of information over America as wosltkeompletely crush out the systematized swindling operations that had become so general.- An agenoy was formed under the style,of B. Douglass & Co'., now R. 6. Dnn & Co. Secret agents were then sent out to establish an agent for each prin cipal city'in the Union, and a general chief agent fop onob State The State agent in turn appointed in every village ahd town ship an agent, whose duty it was to learn and transmit to headquarters the name, age, reputation, wealth, and pecuniary resource of every roan and woman engaged in trade, who might reside within his prescribed ter ritory, and in six short months the record was complete, and so far as the projectors Of the great work were interested swindling as a business came to a sudden end. But now a new.questioii of importance presented it self. How should the system be maintained? It had required the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars to start it; the‘ad vantages it offered were indispensable, and yet the burdenr of maintaining it would each day become heavier, and many were in favor of abandoning it.—But now came the finan ciering ability bf Mr. Dun. Said he: Yon may abandon, but I will not This may be madc-a matter, hot only of self-defense, but it may be'made profitable: and Mr. Dun knew very well (be ground he took in mak ing this assertion, and in thus assuming the whole responsibility. His first step was to have his work printed and placed - in the hand of every wholesale dealer in the conn- try, both Nortli and South. Instead of one agent in every .city or township, he placed from five to five hundred. He made it obli gatory upon e'vcry subscriber to be an agent, and has now reduced the price of his book from one hundred and twenty-five to seven ty-five dollars per annum. At Cincinnati he has from one linndred and fifty, to two hundred responsible bnsi- uos8 men who are in Constant communica tion with Mr. , the chief agent at that point. In the city of Louisville alone there are from forty-five to fifty business men of responsibility who are in daily communica tion with Mr. E. L. Sciclirist, at the Hamil ton Bank Building, who is the gentlemanly and indefatigable general-in-chief of the Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois forces. Now if any-man of business in this or any other city shonld still have any doubts, and at the same time should have forgotten the date of ahy of the marked portions of his business career, lie lias but to repair to the nearest agency office to find the lost dates, and also to learn who he is and what he has been during the last t wenty-six years of his mercantile life.. ""Young man, beware. Remember that your name is down and will not4>e erased. Remember that you are writing your own history in black and white, and that as you depart from the paths of rectitude, or follow the true and even course of an honorable man, yon arc credited or charged, as the cir cumstances may call for. And though you are never so cunning, remember that Argus eyes know your every move. And those who are advanced in life, and era still engaged in mercantile pursuits,'re member that y ou arenot.uuobserved", and in proportion to your shrewdness and your cunning is the shrewdness, and.cunning.of others exercised, to tdbtsau ;a knowledge* of ■yarir movements, to be recorded in the ledger where ybnr name is registered. Reader, if-you.be a country merchant or a city merchant, if yoirbe a wholesale-dealer or a retail jlealer;'or it you be a clerk just graduating into business life for yourself, remember, when you set out from home to buy your first stock of goods, or for the hundredth time, to make your monthly or quarterly purchases, that in every wholesale establishment of any magnitude that doesnn extensive or limited credit business in which yon may set your foot, you will there find r LT name send standing in the book OfR. Dun & Company. . . ' .

But our energy and do-: ; pendencc are. both in vain. The stream bears ns on, and our joy and griefs are loft behind tiswe may he shipwrecked; but wo % cannot-anclior; our voyage may be hasten ed, but we cannot be delayed; whether rough'or smooth, the river hastens towards its home; the roaring of tho waves is be neath our keel, and land lessens from our * eyes; the flpods are lifted up around us and we take our last leave of' earth and its in habitants and of our future Voyage there is no witness hut the Inffuite and Eternal! cal writers that death is frequently prece ded by insanity, a fact which has occasion ed tlie remark that It was not astonishing, for everybody says tliat when folks get mad der-they abont to dye. This reminds us of a ease which occured many years ago in a J Philadelphia court, where a pretty young ' widow was in danger of losing two-thirds of her husband’s estate-liis relatives groun ding their claim on the alleged insanntty - of the defunct. It may be as well to prom ise that the presiding’judge was not only civil, but also very gallant. “What were your husband’s last words? inquired tbe attorney. The pretty young widow blushed and looking down replied— .“i,d rather not tell.u “But, indeed, you must, ma’am- Your claim may be decided by it.” -Still blushing, the widow declined to tell.- At last adirectappeal from the bencU"elici ted tho information. -- .) - ‘ He said, ‘Kiss me, P-oHy, and open that other—bottle>f champagne I” • ■ We know not whether it was admiration for (he deceased husband, or the living wife, that inspired tho judge at this instant, but hut he at once cried with all the enthusi asm of conviction, “Sensible to the’last—by Blackstono!” . ’ ' - BH Iis Follies of treat Me**J '" -Y Tycho Bralie, the astronomer, change!
