ftjjt fails; f rtss - THE LARGEST CIRCULATION. A. TJX* U BTA, »A .: FRIDAY MORNING... March 30, 1850 Job Printing In Plain aud Fancy Color*, neatly, cheaply and promply executed at this Office. Having fast power presses, the best material, and skilled workmen, enables us to do Job Work at tbs lowest ffgures aud best manner. * Advertising.— “ Merchants and others in the South,” says the Mobile Rem itter, “whose success in business mainly de. pends upon ‘keeping before the people,’ that is to say, of letting the world know what they have to sell, are at last finding out the truth of an anxion adopted by a cele brated impressario of showmen, that ‘prin ter’s ink is the cheapest thing that a busi ness man enn invest in.’ In old times— that is before the war—Southern merchants were notoriously chary in their use of the newspaper as a medium of communication with their customers, and most of them economized (as they supposed) in advertis ing, as at best but an expensive necessity. Our long experience and observation have taught us that liberal advertising and com mercial success were almost suro to go hand in hand. We have our eye now on one of the most successful merchants that Mobile has known in the past twenty years, and the founder of a house that now stands at the bead of its lino of business, who was always a firm be liever in the virtue of printer’s ink and who showed his faith by his practice. Since the war ended, the custom of advertising has grown into a decided fashion. Our own ample columns give daily proof of it, in which the observant readers will find that that branch of our business has doubled and trebled since the anto-bellum era.” \ . The Eclipse of the Moon to-night. —There will be an eclipse of the moon this (Friday) evening, commencing at fifty-two minutes after nine o’clock, the total ob scuration being greatest at nine minutes after ten o’clock, and ending at thirty-nine minutes after twelve o’clock. It 'will be visible throughout tho United States. The Petersburg Express says : While speaking on astronomical subjects, we may advert to the absurd statement which went the rounds of the papers a few weeks ago in regard to tho moonless month of February. Some wiseacre asserted that such a case had not happened for a great number of years, and would not happen again for ages to come. Now every man at all conversant with the science of astronomy is aware of the fact that the heavenly bodies p :rform a complete cycle in exactly nineteen years, when precisely the same phenomena recur. An almanac, therefore, which is nineteen years old, answers all the practical purposes of one of the current year. We are assured that in tho almanac of 1847, the phases of the moon for February correspond with tho3e of last month within less than one minute. There will be no occasion, therefore, to go beyond 1885 for the repro duction of all tho ephemera of the present year. City election. The annual election for Mayor and three Members of Council from each Ward, to serve for the ensuing year, will be held on Monday, the 9th day of April, 1868, at the several places hereinafter designated: Ward, No. I—At the Scale House, under the management of J.

Rhodes, and Wm. J. Owens, or eithor two of them. Ward No. 3—At the Central Hotel, under tho management of A. D. Picquet, .T. P.. F. Lamback, and D. B. Plumb, or either two of them. Ward No. 4 -At the Planters’ Hotel, under the management of Matt. Sberon, .T. P., (.'has. G. Butler, and Wm. V. Keener, or eit her two of them. The Polls will be opened at 8 o’clock A. M., and closed at 2 o’clock P. M. The Managers at each Poll will appoint three clerks to assist them in conducting the Election. After the votes in tho several Wards are counted, the Managers will repair to the City Hall, and consolidate the votes for Mayor, declaring the person having the highest number of votes for that office duly elected Mayor, and the three persons iu each Ward having tho highest number of votes for Members of Council in that Ward duly elected Members of Council.
