GRATT'ITOt'S ADVERTISING.
No class ol the dommumiy is more sevcrs
lv taxed, not for me public, hut lor individual
*£Ood, than newspaper publishers. The New
York Commercial sets fortii the case in the
lbllDwino aruct—every word ol which is true.
Gratuitous Advertising. Everv body
knows, or otghl to know, that ihe publishing
business is ne ol large expense—-employing
a great niniber of persons and an extensive
capital, flat every paragraph set up costs a
certain Aim ol money in the composition, or
setting Jp ol the type, and occupies a certain
space, which ought to yield its proportion of
incone to the proprietors. Every body must
kinw, too, that the main source of this income
is me p iriion <>l the sheet devoted to advt-r
Inemeuts, and that to ask the gratuitous in
sertion nj an advertisement, or a communi
cation, or an editorial notice, to serve in the
place ol one, is literally asking the publisher
to incur an expense of one dollar or more,
without making him a farthing in return.
it is to ail intents and purposes asking him
to take a sum of money from Ins pocket and
present it to the applicant. Yet this thing is
done every day, and many times a day; arid
that too by men who have no earthly claim
on the charity of the publisher, and wh - can;
much better aff>rd than he can to disburse i
the money—without adverting to the fact I
that the object ol the advertisemerl or com-!
munication, is to promote their interest, and
not that of the publish r.
There are scores of persons who would
never dream of walking jmo a tailor’s shop,
and asking lor the gift of a waistcoat, or into
a hatter’s and begging to be favored freegra
tis, with a hat, vet can see no impropriety in
calling upon the publisher for the grat .itons
anouncernerit of a course of lectures, or a I
patent fly trap, or any other notion, in the!
bringing of which before the public they hap
pen to have an interest.
An Incident in the First Congress.—
In one of the letiers of old John Adams to
his wife, just published, an imeiesiing incident
is reiaied, as in the Inflowing extract Those
who will refer to the P.-alrn mentioned may
discover ihe peculiar applicability of its lan
guage to the then condition of America.
“ When ihe Congress first met, Mr. Cush
ing made a motion that it should he opened
with prayer, li was opposed by Mr. .Jay of
New Volk, ain I Mr. Rut edge of -South Car
o uia, because we were so divided in religious
sentiments, some Episcopalians, some Qua
kers, some Anabapiisis, some Presbyterians,
and some Congregationalists, that vve could
not join in the same act of worship. Mr.
Samuel Adams arose and Raid, ‘he tvas no
bigot, and could hear a prayer from a gentle
man ol piety and virtue; who was at the
same tune a Ineud to Ins country, lie was
a stranger in Pliiladelph a, but hail heard that i
Mr. Durffie,’ (Lluchay they pronounce if)!
‘deserved that character, aid therefote he
moved, tint Mr. Duche, an Episcopal cler
gyman, might he desired to read prayers to
ihe Congress on to-morrow Morning.’ The
motion was seconded and passed in the affit
mutive. Mr, Randolph, ,inr wait
ed on Mr. Duche, and received Ibr answer,
that il Ins heiltli would permit, lie certainly
would. Accordingly, next morning he ap
peared with iiis clerk and his pontificals, am!
read several prayeis m ih> established form,
and then read the collect for the seventh day
of September, which was ihe 3.3. ti Psalm.
You must remember, tins was the next morn
ing alter we heard 11 it? horrible rumor or the
cat npiiade of Boston. I never saw a great
er effect upon an audience. It seemed as if
II •iiverj had ordained that Psalm to be read
on that morning.”
Enol.aNi) and China.—There may be some
v.’:i i nave not yet learned enough of the se
cret to have le t oif wondering what all the
fuss between the Englis > and the Chinese is
ahuit. II re is the story in a nutshell. I:
is troul ihe Richmond Enquirer:
“ I he Chinese Government, llnding that I
its subjects were brutalizing themselves hv
the inordinate chewing of opium, (orbide its
/idrudiiciion into its ports at the hazard of
coiinscatioii. The British, who had turned
the fields’ of linuloostan into its cultivation,
hud derived an immense profit from the trade,
smuggled thousands of chests into Canton
against me laws of China, and the warnings
f>’{ her Emperor. These vveie seiz'd by the
Chinese, and burnt—and now the British, at
the modth of the caution, at e demanding com
pensation. Canton is attacked, and thousands
<>T the Chinese are sacrificed. This is a blot
upon the British name, witch is worse than
their seizure of the fleet at Copenhagen. As
the New York Sun justly observes; * It is with
reason and truth that the Chinese denominate
their British enemies barbarians. No people
ever earned that title more effectually, <>r had
it more justly applied to them. In the eves
of all imparl al men, and of rigmeous Hea
ven, the slaughter of every Chinese in this
imholv war must be regarded as murder —the
extortion of every dollar as robbery. Many
years cannot elaose b'fo'p the question will
lie tested whether Eng'amf is to achieve by
means like these her darling object of univer
sal dominion. ’ ”
DISTBESS IN ENGLAND.
The following details are Hem a Lund n

most beyond the conception of the favored

at work are only three fourths of their tune

The average earnings, when at work, are
about 7s. 6J. each loom; from tins is to be

BLACKWOOD AND THE PEEc MINISTRY.
The last number oi “Blackwood” contains
an article on the “ Prospects of the Peel .Min
istry.” It is rather tame, however, lor that ;
journal, as the writer, like SSir Robert Peel at
the opening o! Parliament, was no doubt puz
zled to know what to promise with regard to
j measures, calculated to reconcile me puohc
| mind, and restore the general prosperity.
| he pred.cts that the Tory or Conserva
tive retgu will lea glorious one, and assigns
the Lest reasons that he could call to his as
sistance. He argues that the new Ministry
will be strong because of the weakness of
their opponents, and says that the present
pros ratio. - ! of the Whigs bears a direct pro
portion to the length of time lor which they i
so shamelessly clung to office. The Whigs, I
it is true, did cling to office with remarkable!
pertinacity; but they had the Queen with j
them, and they fancied that they had a vast 1
majority ol the people. Hence their conduct,
lie thinks, moreover, that the new ministry
will be strong in their own extensive influence
and established character, and says that the
names ol \\ eilington and Peel, of Graham
md Starkey, of Rinon, of Canning and of
: Liverpool, are even in their very sounds, iu
j dications of a powerful coalition of the most
j persuasive influences; also, that the new min
[ istrv will be strong in the very variety of in
terests and of original opinions which it ern
braces—in having secured the natural sympa
thy and concurrence of both branches of the
Legislature—in the uprightness and simplicity
ot the course which its members pursued
while in opposition, and finally in the present
state of public feeling. “ The country (says
the writer) is sick of agitation and change’—
it is still more sick of profession and nonper
formance. Its feelings have been kept on the
stretch for an unusually long period ; and
those who have attained their object, as well
as those wh > have faded in doing so, are si Tang
ly disposed to return to a s'ate ot rest and
routine.” This is all very well for a victori
ous party —for a party that, having obtained
power, desires to keep it, and to avoid the*
discussion of all topics likely to peril trie pos
session of the rents and tiie patronage of gov
ernment.
But Sir Robert Peel and his friends need
not lay any such flattering unction to their
souls. The great masses ot the people will
not remain passive and quiet. Already have
they reared the standard of agitation—-alrea
dy have immense meetings been held in the
manufacturing dl3 i riels—and already has a
new impulse been given to the repeal clause
m Ireland. Something must he done, and
that speedily, or the outdoor tumult and cries
for relief, will lead to alarm and consternation
within the House of Commons, calculated
even to reduce the boasted Conservative ma
jority of ninety to a very inconsiderable num
ber. But we annex one of the concluding !
passages of the article in Blackwood, merely ;
remarking, that throughout the essay, the!
greatest possible care is taken to avoid any!
thing like an expose of the measures likely
to he brought forward by the new Premier
and his comederates :
“ We are firmly persuaded that the sources
of strength and stability which the Peel Min
istrv enjoy, are not likely to be thrown away
or lorleited by their conduct in office. The
first principle by which they will be regulated
is th • preservation of our great institutions in
Church and State. The second will be the
due and firm enforcement of the law, without
distinction of parties or persons. But, com
biued with those principles, we may expect a
scrupulous regard for ihe rights of civil and
religious freedom—a mild and equitable mod
eration in the adjustment of all matters of!
administrative regulation, or not involving a !
fixed constitutional truth—an anxious desire
to amend practical abuses, and to remove just
grounds of cavil and complaints against the!
law sor government of the country—a digni-!
tied but conciliatory vindication of the national j
honor abroad—a careful and comprehensive!
revision of our financial system at home—a
vigorous assertion of the authority of Govern- j
merit over the individual or sectional objects
ol its supporters—and a resolute determination I
to preserve its authority bv the surest of all J
means, a readiness to surrender office when !
it can no longer be held without a sacrifice of
honor and integrity. Under a government of |
tins kind vve may look for many signal hies- j
sings to our beloved country, of w hich. during i
the last ten years of trouble and turmoil, we !
have been deprived. A feeling of security j
will be produced; which in itself is of the ut- j
most value, and without which the re can nei- |
ther be enterprise nor credit. Men will know j
with some certainty, the worth both of their!
own property, anti that of their neighbors ;
and will thus have a standard for fixing both
what they may expend on themselves, and
what they may invest in the hands of others.
I he distractions arising from political hopes |
and ieurs being removed, will make way for
; better feelings and pursuits, for practical qnes- •
! tions of public improvement, and for ihe free
j cultivation of science, of art and of literature,
j Leisure and encouragement will also be at
! lorded for extending to our vast and inex
iiaustible possessions abroad, a larger share
of that improvement and assistance which
colonies deserve from their mother country,
and which, under proper management, they
are sure so amply to repay. England will
thus go forward more fearlessly and faithfully
than ever, in her great mission as the chief
dispenser of civilization and Christianity over
the world.”

Atmospheric Engine. Tne Louisville
Advertiser notices anew invention, by a Mr.
L-inning, of that city. It is an engine which
is put into operation by atmospheric, air, dis-,
pensing with buffers, water and steam. It is
thus dr scribed:
In its construction it is exceedingly simple.
Two tubes, or chimneys, capable of hearing
a pressure of fifteen pounds to the inch, and
placed perpendicularly over a stove, or fur
i mice, from which a flue leads to each. The
flues have valves at each end. A fire is light
ed in tbe furnace, the h aze of which ascends
into one of the chimneys, the other being clo
sed by the valves. This rarifles the air, which
rushes through a [ripe into a common cylinder,
and moves the piston. The scuon of the en
i gine shuts the fust flue, in which a vacuum is
created, while the heal and propelling force
are changed to ‘he other, producing the re
’ verse motion. ■Tints heated, air u applied to
the common engine m the same manner as
steam. V < .th a sugiit fie, we sa w the engine
put in motion, and though but a rough model,
and upon a sma.l scale, it afforded sufficient
power to drive a common fanning mil], or
wheat cleaner, with considerable rapidity, ft
will require less fuel than is necessary in
working a steam engine, no vea'er or boilers.
‘A e understand that the inventor has received
lioeral proposals already from men of capital,
who have confidence in its complete success.
THE POWER OF ADVERTISING.
A writer hi Biacswood seems to have a
very favorable opinion of the power of adver
lisitig. He says lhat nothing is so web es-
I taWished as ihe fact, that advertising will do
: any thuig. No imposition is so glaring, no
j quackery so apparent, no humbug so gross
! ,u, 4 palpable, winch may ,t it be turned by
•oi enterprising fellow to account, through
tiie medium of the newspapers. Not only do
me ti ades, but the professions, use this mighiv
letter ol introduction : your laivver pulls his
book, and the physician his treatise, as you
imagine, but she tact and truth is, the learned
gentlemen are advertising themselves : the
vne ot the book is not the object, but tiie sale
of the man.
lie then proceeds to illustrate tbe rnaiter
by stating a case—that of a late “London
Assurance Company.” “ I'liis infamous con
cern was got up by a servant out ol place,;
aided by one or two other desperate men j
‘mpon town.” By some means or other, for- i
ging references in all probability, the adven
turers gained possession nfa good house in a
highly respectable neighborhood; the ha it of
fered that many-beaded gull the public, was
some considerable abatement of the usual
premium “I situ hr establishments, which it
was easy for those to oiler who never intended
to [)ay. jhe light artillery of the newspaper
did ihe rest. Indifferent as the public may
he to a few announcements in the public
prints, the reiteration ot advertisements isever
‘tire to succeed ; and succeed it did in this
particular instance so well, that the miscre
ants, alter plundering unfortunate creatures
to the tune of some eighty or a hundred thou
sand pounds, decamped beyond the reach of
the law, and are now laughing at the simpli
city of ilieir victims.”
‘ it is, ’ he adds, “upon the newspapers that
the various tr.bes ot quacks in medicine de
pend lor their subsistence; what they offer
lor sac, though it he the genuine elixir of the !
aldi.vmkts, or dirt pills, does not matter a j
jackstraw; the point is, how much can they j
afford to spend in advertising. Advertising ;
is like law—ihe longest purse wins ail.”

WINFIELD fcCOTT.
The Philadelphia U. 8. Gazette of Tuesday
says—
A verdict was given yesterday in the Lb S.
Court in tiie case of the United States is. the
, L luted States Bank, tor plaintiffs,being a claim
jot about $353,000. i bis action arose out of I
| the first biff drawn by the U. States Govern- i
ment upon France for tiie indemnity for spo- i
nations. This bill was purchased by the Uni
ted bnates Bank, and when presented at:
Paris, there had bee i no funds provided by
! the Chainc-er of Deputies and unfortunately
i the bill was at sight,-- 1 tier wise the government
’ might have provided means; but it was nrotes
; ted for non-payment and returned. The Bank
; then charged me government with tfje cus
tomary damages, and retained in settlement
wdih the government the amount of those dam
! ages, and then this suit was commenced, and .
i lias been continued from term to term
Some speculation lias been indulged as it I
i regards the effect of this verdict on some of|
1 the assignments, as the government lias al- ]
i ways the first claim ; but the defendants may
appeal to the Supreme Court, and thus post
i pone such action.
Judge Baldwin (says the Ledger) decided
| the following points arising from the testimony
m the case, which will be sufficient to show
the general features.
1. That the United States were liable to
the law of set-off like any individual; their
’ sovereignty being parted with pro hac vice.
2. That tiie claim of the defendant to dam
| ages must be governed by the laws of Mary
; land, the place where rite Bill cf Exchange
3. That by this law damages were only al
lowable to the actual holder of the Bill of Ex
change at the time of the protest, or to an en
dorser who has paid the damage sustained
upon it.
4. That the Bank was not the holder of the
Bill at the time of protest, nor an agent for
the holder ; and that no proof had been given
to show that it had paid the damages sustained
by the protest.
The defendant’s claim for damages was
therefore rejected by the Court, and the jury
gave a verdict for the plaintiff for -§251,243 54
damages, and six cents for cos't.
Gold Mine in Union.— Our estimable
friend, Dr. Moore, Cashier of the Branch B mi;
in this place, politely shewed ns yesterday,
some remarkably rich specimens of ore from
a Vein Mine lately commenced in Union Dis
trict, about twelve miles above the Court
House, called Note’s Mine. In three or four
small pieces of rock there was estimated to be
fifty or seventy dollars worth of gold ; and
among them was a piece of solid gold in its
natural state, worth twenty five dollars.—

ed her. There was just two minutes between
their landing on the ferry pier, and in eter

GEORGIA COTTON—SQUARE BALES.
If our planters could be aware of the in
cessant demand which is made for square
bales of cotton in preference to the round, it
appears to us they would determine at once
to put up presses and send square packages
to market henceforth. Not only are square
bales desirable, but for good stowage on board
slop it is desirable to have th in as nearly of
the same size as possible. We have examin
ed various packages of different sizes, and ta
ken the measure of some. The following!
are the dimensions of those which please us
most —
Length—s feet,
Depth—2 feet o inches,
Width or thickness, 1 foot, 8 inches.
A bale of this size, ii’ well pressed and
bound with some six bands of first quality
bale rope, will weigh from 375 to 4iJ<) lbs.,
! and is a handy, handsome, and portable pnek
! age. On such bales, our planters are already
! aware, doubtless that the Rail Road charge’s
less freight ihan on round ones. I o New
York the freight is 25 cents per bale less,
and by a freighting ship to Liverpool it is 1-8
of a penny less than on round bales—all of
which might be saved to the planters.
In the present dishonest age, the round
bales are no protection against pilfering, and
while lying on the docks’ in New York, the
bag may be ripped open, and some 20 or 25
lbs. be abstracted without being missed until
the bale is reweighed. Instances of this kind
have lately coin? to our knowledge. The
round bales, too. go to market in much worse
order, and loose more in weight, so that buy
ers generally prefer to give 1-8 to 1 4 of a
cent more lor cotton in square bales. All
these reasons and some others exist why a
buyer prefers square bales. We hops our
planters will think of these things. Some of
them we have conversed with, who have ex
pressed their determination to discontinue
packing their cotton in round bales.

Texas Cotton.— The following letter, giv
ing an account of cotton plants, the production
of western Texas, (says the Austin Gazette)
has been kindly furnished us oy his Excel
lency Gen. Lamar, for publication. It is from
the Hou. A. Hutchinson, Judge of the 4th Ju
dicial District. We have seen tiie plants,
and can therefore testify to the luxuriant
growth of the cotton—vve are of the opinion
that it is of the South Sea variety ; it has a
long staple, is fine fibred, and is oi a delicate
cream coior.
Austin, Sept. 28, 1841.
liis Excellency M. B. Latnar,
President of the Republic of Texas:
Sir—l have the pleasure of presenting to
your excellency a sample of what may prop
erly be called the Silk Colton, taken from the
garden of J. W. Smith, Esq. of San Antonia
de Bexar. The seed cam? from South A
merica and was first planted by him forexperi
ment in 1840, and tbe specimen is the growth
of the present season. Judge Robinson,who
g.ave me the sample, counted on the stalk from
which lie took it nine hundred pads, after a few
had been plucked. I visited the garden and
examined a luxuriant row of the plant from
which our fields may be soon supplied. The
stalk at its roots is some four and a half inch
es in circumference; it is about seven feet
high and nearly the same in spread, ’l'he seed
is jet black. You will perceive that the
fibre is very fine, fair white, and to the eve
and touch more like silk than the common
product, promising a variety of labric of unu
sual strength, firmness and brilliancy; and if
under ordinary culture in a soil and climate so
genial, it will produce as abundantly as if has
done in its first Texian bed in tlio ancient
city, it will become an object of general atten
tion, interest and profit.
1 have the honor to be, £ce.

COTTON MARKET.
The arrival of two English steamships since our
last, enables us to make tip a pretty full cotton ac
count. The Britannia arrived at Boston with Liver
pool dates to 21st ult., and the Great Western at New
’ oik wi h dates two days later. From private letters
and circulars of the leading cotton houses in England,
we cannot anticipate an advance on our staple for the
present. The low state of our river, also, operates
somewhat against an advance. Our streets, however,
present quite a crowded s ate, and Planters and
Merchants appear to be satisfied with the prices paid
and received. We quote the market at from 71 to Bc.

Liverpool, Oct. 22.
In the earl)’ part of the week considerable excite
ment prevailed in the cotton market, spinners and
dealers purchasing freely , and speculators also to a
considerable extern. Holders of American being anx
ious to learn the news by the Halifax steamer of the
4th, did not offer their stocks, except at extreme pri
ces, and consequently obtained an advance of fully
•j 1. per lb. upon last week’s prices. Since the arrival
of the steamer, without any tidings of importance, the
evoitenient has subsided, and much of the advance
has been again conceded. It is difficult to raise our
quotations, except in the fair qualities, though it is l ot
easy to buy at last week’s rates. The sales today are
3000 bales; the market is quiet, but pi etty steady.
Speculation this week, 5760 American.
*• It will be well to bear in mind, that on the 15th
inst. we raised our standard for fair quality of Upland,
Or cans and M bile Id. per lb., in order to confer n to
the general wish expressed by the American Cham
ber of Commerce.”

AND APPF.NDLX.-—1 hese works have
now been published by us tor ten const cunve sessions
ot Congress, c mmeucing with the scasu nos 1 fcUi.—L.
They have had such wide circulation, uiid have bt tii
so universally appiovud and sought after bv the pub
ic, that vve deem it necessary only in ibis prospectus
to sav that they will be continued at .l.e next session
of Congress, and ic slate, succinctly, liieir contems,
tbe lorm m which they will be printed, and die prices
j for them.
i The Congressional Globe is made up of ihe daily
j proceedings of the two blouses of Congress. ’J he
speeches o the meinoers are abridged, or condensed,
to bring them into a reasonable, or readabieSength.
All the reso utions offered. or mo ions made are <nven
at length, in the mover’s own woros ; and the veas
and nays on all the important questions. It is printed
with small typ —brevier anu lionparei—on a double
royal sheet, in quarto lorm, each number containing
116 roya. quarto pages. It is printed as fast as the
business done in Cong ess furnishes matter enoiuli
for a number—usually one number, but sometimes two
numbers, a week. We have invariably printed more
oiinuers than there were weeks in a session. ‘1 he
approaching se-ston of Oongre s, it is expected, will
I continue 7 months ; if to, subscribers may expect he
| tween 30 ami 40 numbers, winch, together, will make
: between SDO anUGuO royal quarto pages.
\ The Appendix is made up of the President’s arnu
] al message, the reports of the principal officers of the
Government that accompany it, and all the long
speeches ot members if Congress, written out and
revised by themselves. It is printed in the same form
as the Congressional Globe, and usually makes about
the same number of pages. Heretofore, on account
ot the set speeches being so numerous and so long,
we have pot completed the Appendix until one or two
i months alter the close of the session : but, in future,
we intend to print the spe-ches as fast as they shall
be prepared, anti of course shall complete tile vvoik
within a few days afier the adjournment.
Each cl these works is complete in i'self; but it is
nee ssarv for every subscriber who desires a full
knowledge ol the proceedings of Congress, to have
both ; bt cause, then, if there should be any ambiguity
in the synopsis of ihe speech, or any denial of its cor
rectness, as published in the Congressional fcliobe,
the reader may turn to the Appendix to see the speech
at length, corrected by the member himscH.
Now, there is no souice but the Congressional
Globe and Appe dix.front which a person can obtain
a full history <>l the proceedings of Congress. Gales
ami Seaton’s Register of Debates, which contained a
history, has been suspended for three or four years,
it coat about live limes as much for a sessu n as the
Congressional Globe and Appendix, and did not con
tain an equal anion t of matter, a great portion of the
current proceed ngs being omi'leo, The speeches of
both parties are published in ihe Daily Globe, and in
tin’ Congressional Globe and Appendix : other papers
publish their own siitr. only. We are enabled to
print the Congressional Giobe and Appendix at the
low rate now proposed, by having a large quantity es
type, arid keeping the Congressional matter that we
set up for the daily and si mi-weekly Globes, standing
for ihe Congressional Globe and Appendix. If we
had lo set up the matter purp<>seli for these works,
we could not afford to prim them for double the prico
no v charged.
Compete indexes to both the Congressional Globe
and die Apoendix are printed at the close of tach
session, and sent to all subsetibers lor them.
VV c have on hand 3,009 or 4,000 surplus copies of
the Congressional Globe and Appendix for the extra
session, winch make together near one thousand roy
al quarto pages. They give the fullest history of
Congress that has ever been published We now
sell them tor $I each ; that is, (>I for the Congression
al Giobe, and fil for the Appendix. We propose to
lot subscribers lor the Cougressianal Globe and Ap
pendix for the next session, have them for 50 cents
each. Yhey will be necessary to understand fullv
I lie proceedings ot the next session. The important
mutter* discussed at the last, will be brought up at the
next session, in cons-q'utpce of the universal dissatis
faction evinced in the late elections with the vast and
novel system of policy which the new powers have
introduced, and which was forced through Congress
without consulting public opinion, or even allowing the
full discussion usual in regard lo subjects ofoidinary
interest. The reports of the Congressional Globe
and Appendix are not in the least degree affected by
the party bias of the Editor. They are given pre
cisely as written out by the Reportors and the mem
bers themselves. And the whole are subject to the
revision and coir ction of the speakers, as they pass
in review in our daily sheet, in case any misunder
standing or misrepresentation of their remarks should
occur.
We make a daily analysts of.the doings in Con
gress, and give our opinions in it freely, but this is
published onlv in the Daily, Semi-weekly, and Week
ly Globes. The Daily Globe is $lO, the Semi-week
ly Globe $5, and the Weeklv Globe $2 per annum,
in advance. The Weekly Globe is printed in ihe
same lorm as the Congressional Globe and Appendix,
and a complete index made to it at the end of each
year.

las’ Extra cession, sl.
For the Congressional Globe for the next session,

For the Appendix for the next session, $1 per

paid, at our risk. By a rule of the Post Office De
partment, postmas'ers arc- permitted to fra k letters

To insure all the numbers, the subscriptions should
be in Washiiig'ot! bv tire loth Decemb. r next, at

enough surplus copies to fill every subscription that
