Make Known Your Business, The merchant who eschew:; advertising as an unnecessary expense is ostensibly incapa citated for his business. The oipeuise of mak ing known whore you live, what you have to sell, and the manner you propose to deal wilti nil those who may patronise your, is quite in significant in comparison to the benefit de rived! Farmers always consult the papers to find out whore they, without a tirosouio search can hud the exact articles they waul; and them* foro those who nave tkoir “light hid under a bushel ” are always hindmost in attaining the great disideratum of every merchant—pecu niary success! Our readers will readily bear witness that our leading men in every particular branch of trade aro liberal patrionisors of tho press.. They with a perception and liberality worthy ol imitation, avail themselves of the use of printers’ ink and become wealthy in few years. On the other hand, those who go on the “old fogy” principle, soon find themselves with a stoek of uld goods on hand, and fewer cus tomers than they desire ; and in nine cases out ten, they bccomo bankrupted. Wo throw out these suggestions with no oth er view than to boncfit those who still labor nnder the strange infatuation that it is too ex pensive to Rdvertiso. -*■ -** Encouragement.

Dixon. This gentleman who was well known in Geor gia. died at Rockbridge, Alum Spring, Vu., on the 2d instant, in the 57th yeav of his age. He was for many years actively engaged iu the politics of the country, and frequently repre sented Talbot County in tlie State Legislature. His strong native sense and sound judgment made him a very efficient man in nli that he undertook. His integrity commanded the re spect of nfl who knew him—his candor, kind ness and benevolence attached to him all with whom he came in contact, lu him was ex hibited one of those rare instances of a man who was able so to temper ardor and firmness with moderutiou utul kindness, as in the most heated contest to conciliate his opponents with out sacrificing his principles. Os all those who knew him, and they were many, ue think there is not one to whom the tidings of his death will not bring a fooling (if sorrow and regret. —Comer Stone. Advertising. A speculator in Liverpool has offered the city authorities $5,000 per annum for the use of the lamp-posts to post advertising bills on. The offer was not accepted. Daily papors are better mediums for the purpose. We believe auy how the Sun's col umns is a better place for advertising than the post through which a dull gas light comes forth! ■ - ... — ♦ Baptism of an African King.

G. 11. Mo- Udl, N. A., the incumbent, lie it a tall, intel ligent looking negro, and was born in Auguet 1817. An Ossified Man. In a quiet little village on the Western Re serve, in Ohio, says the Prescott Transcript, there lives a man who, physiologically consid ered, is certainly one of the wonders of the world. His joints are completely ossified, turned into bone, aud ho is not capable of mak ing the slightest movement, except alternately opening and shutting two fingers of his right hand. Ilis body is as rigid as iron, and it could not be bent without breaking some of his bones. This singular process of ossification has been going on in his system for more than twenty years, lie is now about 4(j years old, and has not had the use of liis limbs so that he could walk since lie wfts nineteen. Ossification com menced first in liis ankle joints, gradually ex tending itself through his system until lie was entirely helpless; since that time he has been wholly under his mother’s care, aud she watch es over him with an anxiety only a mother can feel. When about 20 years old ho became en tirely blind from some uuknown cause, and has remained so ever since. At about 30 he suffered greatly from tooth-ache, and finally had them all extracted. A yuar or two after wards his finger and toe nails came off, and wore supplied by others growing out from liis fingers and toes at right angles, and present ing the appearance of horns. What is still moru singular in regard to liis nails, if tlie eiid of the nail is cut oil’ it will bleed freely. Such is the condition of this renuikahle man at the present time. He has been visited by a great number of scientific men from nil parts of tho world, but nil have failed to give any- plausible reason of the cause of this transformation from flesh to bone. Singular as it may appear, although his jaw bone is firmly sot in his heud, lie not only talks freely, but fluently converses with liis friends and those who visit him, on all ordinary topics of the day, and he shows himself well informed and of good mind. He is always cheerful, appears contented and hap py, and it seems probable that he will live twen ty years more. —^—■ • . ‘ The Election in Philadelphia. The Pennsylvanian of Wednesday says :• “ In this locality the election yesterday partook rather of the character of a great democratic jubilee than a serious struggle. The great victory in Pennsylvania in October virtually decided the contest. The Fremont ranks, thinned by’ disaffection and disgust, and weak ened by dispair, ‘bad no Stomach for the light.’ That deep Rolling of nationality and love for the Union which so nobly won for Pennsylva nia flic proud title of Keystone of tho Fed orl Arch burst forth iu a living flame of patri otism, which utterly consumed the hopes and prospects of black republicanism. Philadel phia has covered herself with glory, prsudly vindicating her position as a deadly foe to sec tionalism, and proclaiming in thunder tones her devotion to the Union and the Constitu tion.” Increased speed of Loeomotivos. The Philadelphia Ledger cites the exhibi tion in France of a locomotive weighing sixty tons, with ton foet driving wheels, and stated to be capable of attaining a speed of 150 miles per hour. Its centre of gravity is placed so low as to vender it safer than ordinary engines at the usual speed So far as getting off the track is concerned. It is doubted whether the speed named can be reached without much larger driving wheels ; but there is no doubt of tho practicability of achieving it with larg er ones, or that, by elevating the track so as allow of a very low center of gravity, together with widening the space between the rails and avoiding common roads by bridges and tunnels, railroad trains can move with ease and safety 150 miles per hour. .Tail Delivery. Last night about it o’clock, says the Nash ville Patriot, eleven prisoners in the county Jail escaped. They unlocked the large door by some means and undermined the wall in tho yard, making an aperture in the stone and brick largo enough to crawl through. This makes twenty-two prisoners that have escaped within a mouth past. Sebastopol. Tlie Russian Government intend to make Sebastopol a magnificent city. A letter from Constantinople says the attempt made to get up the fragments of the vessels sunk at the mouth of the harbor appears likely to prove successful. A Living Letter. It is related by the celebrated historian He rodotus, that Histans, the Milesian, being de tained a prisoner by Darius, aud all corres pondence interdicted, lie shaved a man’s head, wrote a dispatch upon it, and kept the man out of sight till his hair was grown. The liv ing letter was then sent, and the person to whom he was addressed, upon shaving the messenger’s head, found it there inscribed. - Russian Corn Traiik. —Advices from Ga latz, the Russian shipping port on the Black Sea, state that the Indian corn harvest had commenced, and that tho quality was excel lent. In addition to a large tleet already iu pert, two hundred vessels were reported in the river, and freights were low. Stocks of grain were tight, and arrivals from the interior were delayed by want of labor. Ao<jriTTHD.—The trial of Henry C. Keener, .urged with the murder of James Reese, iu this city, in September, 1854, which has been p ogresslng since Wednesday morning, in the Superior Court, terminated yesterday nftei n on iu a verdict of not guilty,— Chron. .}• Son. —* - - A Great Invention. Avery remarkable invention has recently been patented for making coats of felt, without roams. The facility with which garments may be fabricated iu this manner i-> said to bo such that a coat of any color may be made and ready for wear within twelve hours from the time when the wool, of which it is made, w as grow ing upon the back of the sheep. Brevity. A merchant, at the season of business de pression, received from one of his customers at a distance, in answer to a, previous dun, n letter minting his difficulties and requesting time. The merchant paced liis Counting room with lowering brow, and stopping suddenly, turned to his clerk, and said : ” Write to that man without delay.” The paper was ready, and the pen filled with ink, but not receiving any nies ago for some .moments, the clerk uskedy “ Whit shall 1 write “ Something or nothing, and that very quick.” Hack to his desk wont tho clerk, and rapid ly moved his fingers over the paper. The let ter was scut to tho office, and by return of mail came a letter from the customer, inclosing the money in full. The merchant, with glistening eyes read the letter arid hastening to his clerk” ho said: ” What did you write to ” l wrote just what you told me, and kept a cop\ of the letter.” Going to his letter book, and opening it, he found the following; “ Dear sir; Something or nothing, and that very quick.

The Savannah Republican, of 10th inst., says; “At the Falatka precinct, in Putnam county, Buchanan has a majority of 27.” This is a slight Democratic ‘gain on tlie October vote.

There is something soothing in these interchangings of sighs ; we take melan choly comfort in looking into eacli other’s countenances and in wagging our heads in dolorous unison! However, there ishopein tho scripture—” whom he lovetli, he chasteneth.” And it admits of no doubt, that Sam has had this chastening, or, rather, these chastenings. Verily lie has been “brayed in a mortar,” and the Dutch have hold of the pestle, even now! Nathless, we have unyielding confidence in Ham’s game and ultimate success.

Lovo is as natural to a woman as fragrance is to a rose. You may lock a girl up in a con sent you may confine her to a cell—you may cause her to change her religion, or forswear her parents—these things are possible—but never hope to make her sex forego their heart worship, or give up their reverence for cassi raores, for such a hope will prove as bootless as the Greek slave, and as koilow as a bamboo.

Daniel Dancer, when ho hacl A3OOO a year, used to beg apinch of snuff'from all his ar.d when his box was full, bartered its con tents tor a tallow caudle. But his parsimoni ous ingenuity appears contemptible, in com parison with that of the Russian miser, who learned to bark that he might avoid the ex pense of keeping a dog.
