Thoae are starting their sons In the path of honor and of wealth, and tlime arc wishing that they could com mand the strength and vigor of the paat, that they might lake a vlgoroua hand in the event* of thi* day. We are fond of heating tlieae Nestors discourse. They are full of rich memories They tako one hark to the old daya of Whiggcry, and “Tippecanoe and Tyler too," and bring up, freali and exciting the iHKiiea of •• log cabin and hard elder ’’ time*. They picturo with vivid reality the political giant* who then divided the opinion* nod the auirrngea of men, and with pardonable guato, praise the almdowa of the mighty. "What do you think of the present content?" we ventured to ask one of tlieae grand old veturana "Mr,” he answered with excitement, "this Is tho greatest campaign Hint ever stirred tlic country. These Hines are thrilling, and 1 wish 1 werti twenty year* younger." "But you have not given ns your opin ion f tho issues ?" “Well, sir," said lio, “I liaurd Hen.

Our old friend straightened tip at thi* question, aud. in substance, said "1 bate loug known the character of Mr. Greeley, and have a slight |>eiannul acquaintance of him, having met him in Washington many years ago.

FROM WASHINGTON. Homeward Bound—Preparing for the Winter Campaign—Prospects of the “Third House"-Th* Credit Mobilier Swindles and Bribes—Caning Ed itor—Etc., etc. From Oar Own Correspondent. J Washington, September 2.1, 1872. After a long season of enjoyment at the sea side, our good President is announced to return to Washington this week, to re main for the season. The tradesfolk liuvo struggled through the summer, con tending against hard times, the result of the Executive exodus; the hotel and hoarding house keepers who have had their establishments closed for many months, and who seriously contemplate removal to Long Hranch, and the office seekers, as well as the host of persons from every section of the country, who always have business to transact at the seat of Government when they cun find any officials here to communicate with, are, in consequence of the uunouncemcDt, beginning to get ready for the time when they can again otrer their goods to cus tomers in the hope of securing purchasers ; to place their establishments in order for the reception of their winter guests ; and to con over their briefs and papers w ith reference to an onslaught upon the strolling Cubluet and the peraimilutory President whenever they shall swing rouiql in this direction to become station ary. Hut it cannot bo said that Wnshing ing is yet tilling Tip to any considerable extent for the gay scusou. The autumu winds at the various summer loitering places do not yet begin to chill the hot blood of indolent youth, or to impart gouty twinges to the limbs of health seek ing age. Two weeks more, however, will bring about a notable change iu these re gards, ami we shall then comuicuce the season of winter enjoyments with that rel ish to which long repose for recuperation is so condusivc. The coming Congressional term prom ises to lie every whit ns lively In social circles, iiikl us exciting in the political arena as on any previous presidential year, for a long time to say the least. Ho far us the lobby is concerned, or in technical phraseology, tbo “Third House,” the indications do not develop anything special us yet; but doubtless before the close of the Christmas holidays, the traps of Hie Jobbing Agents will have been well baited, when we shall have the usual se ries of qucsliouuble legislation. Huhsidics will slip through ; tariff interests be strap ped ; dubious claims doctored ; Hie wheels thoroughly lubricated, and the last days of the session will he a repetition of the loose legislation in the iuterests of the few, and against the interest* of llio many, by which, during llie last decade, the American Con gress lias won a notoriety little to he ad mired by those who stick to the oid-fash ioned ideas of honesty and patriotism, ami still adhere to the old Democratic dogma, " the greatest good to the greatest num ber." The charges made by M. Coomb against certain Uadleal Senators und members of congress, of a reprehensible connection with the Oakes Ames Credit Mobclier Bcbemo, although partially denied, still possess sufficient interest for the partisan press to comment upon litem with no little three. It is remembered that tlic disclaim ers put in by the parties who have so far denied llie charges, are suspiciously open to the further charge of duplicity. When a man is accused of anything discredita ble, lie who is unjustly so accused, indig nantly refutes the cliurge, and brands it us a falsehood. He does not resort to subter fuge, us in the eases referred to. The fact is that the entire history of the Credit Mobilier und of Hie connection of those parties with it is most discreditable, and unworthy of men having preteusions to honor—whether a mail receives so ma ny thousand dollars value in stocks, or whether ho Ims his name put down us representing so many shares und receives large dividends from the connection as compensation for votes in (lie interest of a rich monopoly, makes no difference in the end, either view of Hie ease is repugnant to nil ideas of high integrity and is dis graceful and brands Hie recipient as a cor rupt and untrustworthy public servant. One good street of tills damaging ex posure of Mr. Oakes Ames and his ac complices, comes to us in llie announce ment that it is proposed to dissolve the credit mobilier; let it bo done by all means. Tbo editors of the Sunday Capital, one of whom iiad ail encounter recently with Judge Louis Dent, in consequence of an article quoted from the Now York Sun, charging that member of “the family" with having sold a consulate for S3OOO, promises to give the details of the manucr in which Hie dodder little brother-in-law was thrashed in the corridor of the Senate Chamber, last winter, by an indignant client, who, it is rumored, bail paid for an office which bo failed to receive and whoso fee was not returned. Dent made a mistake in his bludgeon business at tbo Capitol office, and the editors of Hint paper will uot lose sight of him for some time to come. The story of that caning operation has not been properly told yet. Dent went to tbe residence of Mr. Piatt, who is a person every whit as plucky as liia editorials indicate without any weapon whatever, and finding that gentleman was absent, and that be bail only to deal with Hie associate editor, who is an invalid, be posted oil' and procured the club with which be made the attack on that sick man. Those who profess to be familiar witli the laws of chivalry, would perhaps construe llie act as not coming w ithin Hie perview of that code. Etowah. Men of the 22d District, do you hear ? Tbo Atlanta Constitution lias this to say about the business that every honest man is called upon to discharge next Wednes day : We trust that our Democratic friends in the Macon Senatorial District will make unusal efforts to return their nominee, Col. T. J. Simmons to llio Senate. , lie made number one member of the General Assembly. He impressed himself on the legislation of the last Assembly to an extent not surpassed by any member of that body. Apart from his merit, however, there is a special reason for his election. It is un derstood that the Clews crowd have sent money out to defeat him. As chairman of the Bond Committee, lie I* specially odious to the boud ring that so heavily swiudled Georgia. Let our people stand up to the man who exposed the robbers. It would be a great triumph for them to defeat Simmons We i appeal to our friends in Dike and Monroe | to spare no effort to thwart the macklna i tious of the boud ring and to return Col. Simmons triumphantly to the Senate. The Jewish Messenger suggests anew field for Stanley in the discovery of the tcu lost tribes of Israel. Imperturbability of Greatness. We use the biggest sort of a word to represent the indifference of J. Quincy Adams —tbe man with a pedigree too straight for the "Straights," which is thus shown up by an inquisitive Herald in viewer : Boston, September 18, 1872. John Quincy Adams, the lineal descend ant of tbe old line of Adamses, takes bis nomination by the Louisville body witli a philosophical coolness characteristic of bis renowned futnilv. When tbe nomination was made he was away from home on a visit to friends, and since his return be has settled down quietly to the duties of his profession, evidently curiDg more for law and for clients than he does for poli tics and politicians. In view of his silence since the convention, your correspondent called on him to-day to talk over Hie mat ter of bis nomination and see what he proposed to do about it. I found him at his office in Pemberton square, quietly seated at a table, going leisurely through a conglomerated heap of legal documents. Except tbe presence of his messenger, be was solitary und alone. "Mr. Adams, I bclievo,” I said, on enter ing. "Yes, sir, that’s my name. Take a seat.” "Mr. Adams,” I observed, after being seated, "I have called to make a few en quiries in regard to your position with reference to the straight-out Democratic Convention at Louisville?" "Thank you, sir. 1 shall be happy to answer any questions you may be inclined to put to me, but really I have nothing iu particular to say." ••I understand, Mr. Adams that a Mr. Moreau (I think that's his name) has ad dressed you a letter recently that was cal culated to call forth a reply from you that would exactly define your position ?" "Yuh, 1 have received a letter from that gentleman, and just sent him my reply." “Could you favor me with a copy of that correspondence for publication ?" "As for my owu letter, I have no copy of it " “Might I learn its purport?" “No, not unless the gentleman to whom it is addressed should see fit to give it to tbo public, which, 1 think, lie will do in a few days.” “I infer then, from your manner, Mr. Adams, that you decline tiie honor ten dered you by tbo Convention ?” To which Mr. Adams smilingly re sponded, “You are at liberty to make whut inference you please ; I shall say nothing.” “Do you think it possible for the move ment to attain such prominence as would make it worth your while to lend your name to it in an outspoken way ?” "That ull depends upon tlic managers." “Might I inquire, then, if you have had any communication with Mr. O'Couor ou this matter?” “None, whatever," replied Mr. Adams. "I don’t sec, then, as there is anything else that I cun learn from you concerning this matter iu which the public are likely to be interested?” "No, I don’t, either.” “Good day, sir.” Exit Herald correspondent. Tlic Baltimore Gazette truly says: It is gratifying to notice the wonderful amount of vigor that is being infused into the pen ding campaign by the Democratic and Lib eral-ltepublican leaders. The necessity of thorough and complste organization has become so apparent that every possible step will now, we hope, be takeu to ac complish that desirable end. Our friends everywhere are active and vigilant, and the prospect of a glorious victory grows blighter and brighter every day. The contest in Pennsylvania promises better tilings than the most sanguine imagined when the fight began, and the election of Bnckalew iu October will be the certain defeat of Grant in that State in November. In Indiana the gallant Hendrix is making a vigorous canvass J and our friends there are entirely confident of an overwhelming triumph. In New York the nomination of Francis Korlian placed the matter in such a shape that the only question now dis cussed is how large his majority will bo. In fact, the political out look generally is of a character to fill every patriotic heart with joy. It is clear that the people have risen in their might, and are fully deter mined to shake off the Grant inculms that now hangs over Hie nation, and restore the Government once more to its purity und prosperity. Shakspear was married at 18 ; Dante Franklin, and Hulwer at 2-1; Kepler, Mo zart, and Walter Scott at 26 ; Washington Napoleon 1., and Byron at 27 ; Kossini, Hie first time at 30, and the second time at 54 ; Schiller and Weber at 31, Aristo phanes at 56, Wellington at 37, Talma at 39, Luther at 42, Addison at 44, Young at 47, Swift at 49, Button at 22, and Goethe at 57. A wife asked her husband for anew dress. Ho replied, “ Times are hard my dear—so hard I can hardly keep my nose above water ; " whereupon she retorted, “ You could keep your nose above water easy enough if you’d a mind to, but the trouble is that you keep it too much above brandy. ” It is absolutely necessary, fur the purpose of Hie musical managers, that their respective pritua donna should frequently refuse offers of marriage from enormously rich counts and barons. A Prussian nobleman, of colossal fortune and mustache, is tbe latest victim, and tbe fair victimizer is Kellogg.

IT is universally conceded that advertising is a necessity to success in business; it is also conceded, by the shrewdest business men, that newspapers are the best medium for reaching all parties whose trade is desired. TITE MONROE ADVERTISER reaches more of the people trading with Ma con than any other journal published in the country; it is, therefore, the best medium of communication with the planting interests. We will be happy at any lime to furnish refer ences to leading merchants here and elsewhere, who will testify to the fact that they have re ceived orders for goods from parties who read their cards in T/u Advertiser. In fact, many who have availed themselves of its columns, candidly say that its value exceeds that of all other journals in which they are represented. The Advertiser has the freshness of youth and the ripeness of age, and is therefore deservedly successful. CHARACTER OP ADVERTISEMENTS.
