Telegraph & Messenger BU’UtMt MOUfUMG, Established * 'rindpal office 101 W. Fifth-eU Cincinnati. 0. F. OF I.Y BKLIABLE GIFT DISTRIBUTIOH IS THE COUNTRY. For nearly half a century the Georgia Telegraph and the Georgia Journal and Messenger, either separately or united, have been the great organs of general intelligence to this and the contiguous sections of Georgia and Alabama. In all the varied social, civil and political experience of this region during that extended and momentous period in its history, these old Journals have been the constant and familiar visitors of thousands of households in this vast area of country, and have numbered their readers and patrons by successive generations. In the whole scope of this great Agricultural section of two of the most important Cctton States, the fortunes of these journals have varied simply with the varying fortunes of the people, and to-day their cir culation and hold upon the public confidence and estimation have never been exceeded at any period in their long history. Indeed, as the demands upon newspapers bccaMe yearly more exacting—the expen ses of publication increase and concentration of capital and labor be come more indispensable, so, we are glad to say, our circulation and influence increase with equal steps. The former have multiplied more than tenfold in the last twenty years, and the circulation and business of the Telegraph and Messenger have increased in the same propor tion. We rejoice to believe that in no section of the United States is there a newspaper possessing a more complete occupation of its pecu liar field of circulation than do the various editions of the Telegraph and Messenger, within that whole region of country to which it can carry the earliest intelligence. Its circulation in gross we suppose to be not exceeded by that of any newspaper in the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, with perhaps a single exception, but its cir culation in its appropriate and particular field, is without an approxi mating rival. These are the circumstances and this the condition which make the Telegraph and Messenger such a remarkably good Advertising Me dium. There is scarcely a family or individual doing business with Macon, within a radius of two or three hundred miles around the city, who does not read the paper, so that an advertisement in its columns reaches all eyes. The Macon merchant can scarcely add a greater publicity to his business, among people who can trade with him, after he has advertised in this paper. . The Northern or Western merchant or manufacturer can rely on the fact that by advertising in this paper he will address the whole mercantile, professional and agricultural population of this large area, and need go no further for that purpose. We are frequently in receipt of testimonials from advertisers of all classes as to the peculiar value of this newspaper as an advertising medium. And we are ready to place these advantages at the disposal of the public on the most reasonable terms compatible with our expenses and circulation. Our policy is to encourage advertising by moderate charges; but it must be obvious to every man of common sense that we cannot multiply copies of advertisements by thousands, for the same price that others can furnish them by scores and hundreds. This point is better understood in the great commercial centres where ad verlising is valued and paid for precisely according to the scale of cir culation—where one paper will be cheerfully paid three dollars a line and another five cents a line for the same advertisement, according to their measure of circulation. The first furnishes paper, press-work and circulation for a hundred thousand impressions, and the latter perhaps for a few hundreds. The contracts have all the difference which exists between a pound and hogshead of sugar ; but both, it may be, print and circulate a merchant’s address to the public for less than half what a corresponding number of circulars or handbills would cost, which could have no other circulation than they might obtain from a range of limited personal acquaintances and mere fugacious personal efforts. There can be no cheaper or better method of ad vertising than through the columns of a popular, widely circulated newspaper, which by long habit and association has become the daily source of information to all within the scope of country which fur nishes the trade of its commercial centre. All other expedients to communicate with the people are comparatively inefficient and value less. We place the Telegraph and Messenger before the public, as a certain, popular, and unrivalled medium of advertising communica tion with all that part of Georgia and Alabama which looks to Macon for its market or for the earliest news.

At an early age, the aon waa prt to service in a blacking manofactory, the wretchedness of which ho Urns describes in his autobiographical sketch. “This speculation was a rivalry of ‘Warren's niaeUng, GO Strand,' at that time wary famous. Ooa Jonathan Warren, (the famous one was Robert! living at No. 80 Hunger ford Stairs or Market, Strand (for I forget which it was called than), claimed' to have been the original inven tor or proprietor of the blacking recipe, and to have Men deposed and ill-need by his renowned relation. At last he put himself in the way of selling his recipe and bis name, and his SO ilno- gerfurd Stairs, Strand (80 Strand very large, and the intermediate direction very small), for an annuity; and be set forth by bis agents that a little capital would make a great tininess of it. The man of soma property was found in George Lamert, the cousin and brother-in-law of James. He bought this right and tiUe, and went into the blacking bosinoss and the black ing premises. "In an evil boar for me, as I often bitterly thought. Ila chief msnager, James Lamert, the relative who had Uved with us in B yham street, seeing how I waa employed from day to day, and knowing what onr domeaUo circum stances then were, proposed that I should go into the blacking- warehouse, to be as meftal as I oould, at a salary. I think, of six shillings a week. 1 am not clear whether it waa six or aevsn. I am inolined to believe, front my un- certafafy on this bead, that it waa six at first andRren afterward. At any rate, the offer waa aooepte.1 very willingly by my father and moth er, and on a Monday morning I went down to the blocking, warehouse to begin my hosinea* life. “It is wonderful to me bo* I oould have been so easily east away at snob an age.

Our friends, as I take it, were tired out. No one made any sign. My father end mother were quite satisfied. They oould hardly have been more so if I bad been twenty years of age, distinguished at a gram mar-school, and going to Cambridge. ‘The I decking-warehouse was the lost honse on the left-hand side of the way, at old Hanger- ford Stairs. It was a orasy, tumble-down old bouse, abutting, of course, on the river, and literally overrun with rats. Its wain-scoted rooms, and ila rotten floors and staircase, and the old gray rata swarming down in the cellars, and the sound of their squeaking and scolding coming np the stairs at ull times, and the dirt and decay of the place, rise np visibly before me, as if I were there again. T'bo counting bonae was on the first floor, looking over the ooal barges and the river. There waa a recess in it, in which I used to sit and work. My work was to oover the pots of psato-hlaokins, first with a piece of oil-paper, and then with a pieee of blue paper; to tie them round with a string, and then to clip the paper dam and neat all round, until it looked as smart a* a pot of oint ment from an apothecary's shop. When a cer tain number of groatosof pots bad attained ibis pitch of perfection, I waa to paste on each a printed label, and then go on again with more (»ts. Two or three other boys were kept at similar doty down stair*on similar wages. One of them came np, in a ragged apron and a paper cap, on the first Monday morning, to show me the trick of nsing the string and tying the knot. Hia name was lluli Fsgfn, and I took the liberty of using hia name, long aftorward, in “Oliver Twist." “Onr relalivo hsil kindly arranged to teach me something in the dinner honr—from twelve to one, I think it was—every day. But an ar rangement so incompatible with counting-house imaineea soon died away, from no fan It of hia or mine 1 and, for the same reason, my smell work table, and my grosses of pots, my papers, string, scissors, paste-pot and labels, by little and little, vanished ont of tbe recess in tbe counting-house, and kept company with tbe other small work-tables, grosses of pots, papers, string, scissors and paste-pots, down stairs. It was not long before Bob Fsgin and I, and an other boy whom name waa 1‘anl Green, and who waa currently believed to have been cliriatened Foil, (a belief which I transferred, long after wards again to Mr. Sweedlepipe, in ‘Martin Uhtuzlewit’) worked generally, side by side. Bob Fsgin waa an orphan, and lived with his brotber-m-lsw, a waterman, l’oll Green a father had the additional distinction of being a fire man, and was employed at Drury Lane Theatre, where another relation of Foil’s, I think his Ut ile sister, did imps in the pantomimes. "No words can express tbe arcrot agony of my son! as I sunk into this companionship; compared these everyday associated with thorn of my happier childhood; and felt my early hopes of growing up to be a learned and dis tinguished man crashed in my breast.

This paper is a universal favorite of the Georgians who have emigrated to Texas and other distant points, and in this way its cir culation is coextensive with the United States and is, in fact, scattered over foreign countries; We feel that so invaluable a paper, large as its circulation is, has never yet attained the full measure of its deserts.
