K.' Barnum on Lotteries
' course of his fortffeoming life, Barnum
gives ah interesting and inetructive sketch ol his
lottery experience. It ought to open the eyes of
igjji 4 * green ones.” With another party, Mr. B.
deles raised to go into the lottery business Pre-
s paratoiy he visited New York for the
fi«ttiag information on the subject.
“ Our visit4tt-the New York lottery managers
gieatiy enlightened IQtrth regard to the profits
of that line of business. I had been in the habit
of selling tickets tor Washington Yale, the editor
and printer in Danbury, and also tor (). W.
Sherwood and his cousin Samuel, of Bridgeport,
gjfbr a commission of 10 to 15 per cent.; but in my
interviews with Mr. Gregory, I learned that the
managers, taking to themselves the 15 per cent,
deducted on all prizes, furnished tickets to their
agents at what was called ‘scheme price,’ which
allowed the agents from 25 to 30 per cent, profit.
The lotteries being drawn by combination num
ber*, the public generally had no knowledge
'whatever of the number of tickets in a lottery.
The managers, therefore, made tbe priz -s amount
to less than the retail price of tickets by 25 or 30
per ceat. This extra per centage was a shave
additional to the fifteen per cent, allowed in old
fashioned lotteries. I also learned that the pro
cess of arriving at the number of tickets in a
H lottery is this: Multiply the three highest com
bination numbers and divide by six; the quotent
'’fjnffeSamber of ticket*.
I am continually annoyed, even at this late
date, by pottery Schemes sent by various agents
at the South, where lotteries are still legal. 1
receivedsone yesterday from a lottery firm in
Baltimore. One of their schemes is as follows. !
My object in inserting it will, L trust, be appre
ciated. (We leave out the scheme reterred to.)
It will be observe 1 that there are 78 combina
tion numbers in this lottery. The number of
tickets, p I have remarked, is determined by
j multiplying together the three highest cornbina
tion nmabers, 76. 77, and 73, and dividing by G,
which gives 76 076 tickets.
This number of tickets, at $lO each
H|amGßnt* to $760,760 00
Whereas, the prizes amount to no
more than 570,570 00
1 —■
Leaving a profit of .$190,190 00
Add 15 per cent, deducted from
$570,570, the aggregate of prizes 55,555 50
Making the entire profits on a single
■ lottery.. $275,775 50
la the above lottery the agent procures his
tickets at $7 .50 each. The whole number of
tickets, multiplied by this price, amounts exactly
to the ium set apart lor prizes. $570,570; and the
manager gets 15 per cent, drawback, or $85,585.-

Upousanus of persons are at this day squan
dciiug in lottery tickets and lottery policies the
mottty which their families need. Il thisexpose
shall have the effect ol curing their ruinous infa
tuation, 1, for one, shall not be sorry.
Pfpftei learning the profitable basis of the fore
going facts, 1 went to our Connecticut lottery
managers, and Irom that time obtained my tickets
directly trom them at “the scheme price.” In
myHuri I established agents all through tbe
igpltountry, and my piofits were immense. I sold
■prom five hundred to two thousand dollars’ worth
PFof tickets per day.
On one occasion I sold a package of quarter
t tickets to my aunt Laura Nicholas and a neigh
bor of hers, for $25. Before the lottery was
drawn the*neighbor sickened of her bargain and
begged me to take the tickets back, and my
aunt consented. When the mail brought the
drawn numbers Irom Hartford, 1 had the package
of tickets on hand. Not desiring to risk that
amount of money, l induced eight of my cus
tomers to join me in the purchase of the package.
We then opened the letter containing the drawn
numbers, and found that we had drawn a quar
ter of the highest prize of 15,000. This result
gave myself and eight others a profit of $350
each.
The fact was duly announced, and my aunt
never ceased to blame her timid neighbor, nor to
lament her own ill fortune. The grtat luck of
drawing the highest prize spread like wild-fire,
as usual in such cases, and the country, for miles
around, was lottery crazy. Our sales increased
immensely.
Fully appreciating the power of the press (to
which more than to any other one cause I am
indebted for my success in life, I did not tail to
invoke the aid of ‘'printers ink.” I issued hand
bills, circulars, etc., by tens of thousands, with
striking prefixes, affixes, staring capitals, marks
of .wonder, pictures, etc. The newspapers
throughout the region teemed with unique ad
vertisements. Immense gold signs and placards
-s in inks and papers of all colors, covered my lot
tery office. As the curious letters of‘'Joe Strick
land” were highly popular at that time, I adver
tised my office as being under the special favor
and protection of “Dr. Peter Strickland,” own
blood cousin to the renowned Joe Strickland,?etc.
In my bills and advertisements I rung all possi
ble changes upon the renowned name. “The
ever lucky Dr. Strickland.” “Five more capital
prizes sold by Dr. Strickland !” “A fortune for
a dollar—apply to fortune’s favorite. Dr. Strick
land.” Another mammoth prize !—huzza for
Dr. Strickland.” etc., etc. Hopae-made poetry
was also frequently brought into requisition to
set forth the inducements lor patronizing my
office. Customers who brought their tickets and
- found them blanks, were told that their only
wise plan was to “look for their money where
they lost it, —“it was a long lane that never
turned,” —“such bad luck could not continue
long.” etc., etc.
The lucky drawers of the high prize before
mentioned gave an oyster supper at my mother’s
tavern to about sixty persons, (whom l invited,
knowing them to be good ticket customers ;) and
after the supper was finished, I counted our the
prize money to the elated holders of the fortunate
ticket. This so excited our guests, that a pack
age of tickets, amounting to one thousand dollars
was forthwith sealed up and bought by fifty sub
scribers on the spot at $29 each.
Selling so many tickets as [ did, a prize of one
or two thousand dollars, and numerous smaller
ones, must occasionally turn up. These being
duly trumpeted, rendered mine the “lucky office”
in the estimation of many. 1 received orders from
d|stant parts of the country by mail, and sent
out tickets on commission by post riders and
others. Among my “private customers” were a
number of clergymen and deacons ; and occasi
onally some of the weak brothers of the “Miak
era,” who came to Bethel to sell garden seeds,
bought a few’ lottery tickets on “the sly.”
Whenever I visited Brookfield I called on one
man who was of a serious turn. He ami his
- wife were professors of religion, and he was a
frequentexhorter at prayer meetings. He always j
managed to buy a ticket or two from me, under ;
the str ctest injunction never to divulge the fact !
to his wife. I usually dined with him ; and j
when he was busy looking after, my horse, or j
otherwise engaged out of doors, I never failed to j
sell a ticket to his wife, who begged me to be
very careful not to let her husband have any sus
picion of it, for he was opposed to such things,
and would never forgive her if he should know’
there was a lottery ticket in the house.”
Chattanooga Pont Enterprise.
On yesterday morning we had the pleasure of
witnessing the opening operations of this estab
lishment, and the occasion was not an unimpor
tant one, as a crowd of some 20U persons assem
bled might bespeak. Mr. English, the foreman,
has but recently returned from Cincinnati with
If five experienced workmen, and with the addi
tion of some 20 or 30 found here and there, the
force is complete for doing execution, and the
ease and skill with which those Cincinnati men
do their work, show them fully acquainted with
their profession. This enterprise of Messrs. 1
Chandler & McCamy is large, and one that ad-
Kjj dresses itself to the interests of all who have any
hogs to be killed. Their proposals lor slaughter
ing, in our estimation, are immoderately low
tor instance, they slaughter, dress, and hang
them on the hooks for the eutrails, and what
|ig r eater inducement could be presented tor driv
ing to this house. And for a half penny on the
Mpound they slaughter, and prepare the pork into
If barns, sides and in every way for market. These
m JP
inducements, we opine, will command tbe atten- \
tion of all as being worthy ol the most favorable j
consideration of all wbo have pork to prepare.— j
And by the way that Smoke House of which we
have heretolore spoken, is tremendous—in our j
previous statement we said it was the largest in ;
Tenpessee, and since then we learn, through the
medium of the gentlemen from Cincinnati, that
this smoke house of Messrs. Chandler & McCa
cny surpasses anything of the kind there, and
since learning this we have no doubt but that it
is the finest and largest of any in the United
States. We understand these gentlemen have
some 2,000 begs to slaughter, which wrill be done
as soon as the weather admits. Let it once be
known what is the extent of this establishment,
and all East Tennessee must look to it as the
centre of operations.— Chattanooga Advertiser,

Gen. Cass.
This veteran statesman has many warm friends
and admirers at the South, and his hold upon the
good feelings and kind regard of the Southern
Democracy is still strong, notwithstanding the
discrepancy existing between his views on squat
ter sovereignty, and those of a large portion of
the Southern people. On the leading measures
of American policy, involving the slavery ques
tion, Gen. Cass has always upheld the con
stitutional rights of the South. It is true, that
he holds the position, that slavery has no motive
power, and cannot, by the inherent vigor of the
Constitution which recognizes its legality, go into
the common territories—that to carry it there,spe
cial legislation is necessary. Bub in these view’s
he occupied common ground with the great body
of Northern statesmen, and no small number of
Southern men. His holding this position did not
justify the bitter assaults he has endured of late
trom Southern hands.
His opinions have been openly and freely ex
pressed, and he has taken no position on the Ne
braska Bill, or on other late occasions inconsis
j tent with the record of his previous life.
The assault, therefore, made a few weeks ago
;by the Richmond Enquirer upon him, w r as no
' doubt, considered by the Democrats generally of
the South unkind, uncalled lor, and ur.just.—
Though the squatter sovereignty doctrine is held
in but little reverence by a large portion of the
Southern people, yet they can recognize in it no
reason for ignoring the claims of Gen.. Cass upon
their respect as a sound Democrat and a patriot
ic man.
Circumstances have prevented our giving ear
lier attention to Gen. Cass’s speech, on the 4th
inst., at Detroit, in which he forcibly replies to
the strictures of the Enquirer. We would be
pleased to publish the entire speech so far as it
Defers to his views on slavery, on non-interven
tion and squatter sovereignty. We can spare
room only fora few extracts.
A short time since 1 made some remarks be
fore the Democratic State Convention, assem
bled in this hall, explanatory of my views and
course in relatiou to the Nebraska and Kansas
bills. Entrusted with a portion oi the legisla
tive power of the Mate in the general govern
ment, I appeared before a respectable body of
my constituents to render an account ot my
stewardship. An effort was everywhere ma
king, and everywhere it had been more or less
successful, to produce the impression that all
those who supported these bills in Congress were
pro-slavery men, to use the cant phrase of the
day, and that their advocacy of these measures
was conclusive evidence of their alienation from
the principles of freedom and ol their devotion
to those of slavery. I chose to put myself right
upon this point, and while maintaining the just
power of other portions of the Union to deal
with this question for themselves and as they
pleased, to express my belief that slavery was a
misfortune for any country. I chose to have it
distinctly understood that it was not the institu
tion itself I was defending, but the political
rights of other sections of the country under the
constitution. Certainly I could do little justice
to myself, little benefit to a constitutional prin
ciple which is dear to me, by endeavoring to
conceal these sentiments, and by placing myself
in a ialse position before my own constituents,
who bad prom unced their judgment upon the
condition of slavery by excluding it from the
State. And in conformity with these views, I
stated that I considered slavery a social and po
litical evil—a misfortune lor any country. And
this is the substance of what I then said, as it is
the substance of what I had said before, here
and in the Senate elsewhere, at home and abroad.
I was reported to have added that slavery was
also a moral evil. I did not say so. I do not;
think so, under the circumstances in which it
exists in the Souteern States. Such an assertion
would have been inconsistent with the main po
sition I assumed—that the present inhabitants
of those States were not responsible for the in
troduction of slavery, nor did I see how it was
possible for them to abolish it.
For the expression of these views I have been
arraigned by the Richmond Enquirer, in terms
not less arrogant than virfulent—first denounced
and then renounced. I have been finally ex
pelled from the democratic party, by its decree
of excommunication. But, as I am notin the
habit of submitting to assumption, nor presump
tion, so I shall not submit to both, even when
united in the columns of that once justly and
highly esteemed journal. How are the mighty
fallen !
He then quotes from his pamphlet on the
Quintuple treaty in 1842. and his Nicholson let
ter ot 1847, to show that these sentiments were
then distinctly and unequivocally expressed.
He also quotes the language and opinions of
Gen. Washington, of Mr. Jefferson, Mr. Madison
and Mr. Monroe, Chief Justice Marshall, Patrick
Henry, and George Mason, to show that they
coincided with these views. He also quotes from
his speeches in the Senate to the same effect.—
He says :
L pon this question of the right of opinion,
and ot the duty of withholding the expression ol
it, I said in the Senate in February last—
I ruth was never permanently injured by free
inquiry. You cannot control investigation. And
you must take it, even with its abuses, for the
blessings it brings with it. A highly respecta
ble and respected member of the House of Rep
resentatives said, upon tiffs subject, some time
since. You consider slavery a great evil. Very
w , think so; but keep your thoughts to your
se.ves. lam sure, sir, this honorable member
must have uttered this sentiment while leeling
strongly the aspersions upon the South, too fre
quent in the North, for he knows as well as any j
one the impossibility of proscribing the right ol
speech, and of confining the thoughts of man to
his own bosom. You might just as well under
take to stop the tide of the ocean as to stop the
tide of human opinion ; and though both of these
mighty agents, in their resistless march, are felt
lor evil as well as lor good, yet their healthful
action is infinitely better than would be their
stagnant quietude. But the speaker did, as he
had a full right to do, without regard to this p>o
bibition—he examined the whole subject in the
hall ol the nation, and of course could not ex
pect that his precept and not his practice would
be followed by others.
So much for this chain of occlusion—this de
mand that evey Northern man shall place his
hauu upon his mouth and his mouth in the dust
w henever the word slavery is sounded in his
ears by its friends or its foes. And now for the
assertion of the Richmond Enquirer, that I had
transgressed the limits of legitimate investiga
tion by my assaults upon slavery. A very few
woids will dispose of this charge to the entire
satisfaction of every one but of him who made
it. 1 shall not commit the folly of expecting his
recantation. He who does an injury when” the
injustice is exposed, thenceforth too often con
siders himself the injured party.
I have never uttered one reproachful word on
\ the subject ol slavery—not one. It is a course
j of discussion which suits neither my taste, my
j habits, nor my age. And least of all am I likely
to adopt it when one of the gravest constitutional
subjects that can be presented to the American
j people is brought forward for consideration. I
have never, like the members of its Virginia
Legislature, applied ignominious or disparaging
names to it, and I defy the writer of this article,
; or any body else, to find in aii rry remarks a
single assertion, or even epithet, that the most
jealous friend of the institution can justly cen
sure.”
There is a manliness of spirit, and a dignified
tone in the closing remarks on this subject,
which cannot but extort admiration, even from
his enemies. He will not be betrayed into re
sentment, even by the intolerance which pun
ishes him for holding abstract opinions on sla
very, not in consonance with Southern views.-
He leiterates his pa r .t pledges to stand by the
constitutional rights ol the South. He does it
now when the advanced age at which he has ar
rived, suggests the idea that he is uninriuenced by
any sinister views ol popularity at the South, or
even the commendat le hope of a returning sense
of justice.
If I have lost the confidence of the South, or
if I never possed it, 1 regret my misfortune; but
as it is a misfortune, and not a fault, I must bear
it with what philosophy I may. Certainly the
approbation of his fellow citizens—of all his fel
low citizens—is a great reward for a public man.
It cheers and encourages him in his work. As
the Richmond editor says, “he is cheered and
encouraged in his resolution to expose the trea
chery of the perfidious ally 77 —meaning myself.
But as time passes over me I learn to place more
value upon my own convictions of duty, and
loss upon the opinions of others. If I can pre
serve my own self-respect, and the generous
confidence of the people of Michigan, to whom
I already owe so much, during the brief period
of political life I shall spend in their service, I
console myself the best I can for what I may
lose or may have lost elsewhere. The anathe
mas of the Enquirer have no terrors for me, nor
have its threats or its punishments, whichever
they are designed to be. I ask no favor of the
South—not one. It can give me aid in giving
me nothing. Ido not even ask its justice, for
indications but too clearly announce that mis
representation has done its work, and that
the demand would be a biuitless ooe. But I
shall indulge in no unworthy language of com
plaint or lamentation, while a l this will not
change by one hairs breadth my course of dis
cussion and of action, public or private, in rela
tion to this,momentous subject in all its branches.'
I shall maintain, as I have ever done, feebly in
deed, but earnestly, the constitutional rights of
the South, and the duty of the North to abstain
from all interference with them ; and especially
shall I aid in discountenancing and discouraging
that fanatical spirit, and the unjustifiable expres
sion of it, which is doing all it can do to make
us two nations, with all the awful calamities
which such a disaster would bring with it.
Do not abolitionize the great whig party, said
Mr. Clay. lam afraid his warning voice has
been unheard or unheeded, and that the deed he
feared and denounced has been done. And
though we may regret, yet we are not respon
sible tor this act of political suicide, but we are
responsible for the integrity of our own party.
Do not, my friends, do not aboljtionize the de
rnocracy. Let us have no fusion by which our
fine gold is to be melted in the melting pot ol
political amalgamation. Do not lower the st. n
dard oi the party by an alloy of other metals.
We received it undebased from the patriarchs of
our faith. Undebased let us preserve it.
I have as little personal interest, my fellow
citizens, in the determination of these questions
as any man wbo is now listening to me in this
numerous assemblage, be the other whom he
may. Having passed the term of human exis
tence assigned to man by the Psalmist—three
score years and ten—i am warned that my
hold upon lite is a frail and a fleeting one. But
1 beheve the duration of this government is
closely interwoven with the duration of our par
ty. I have lived a democrat during rny days
which are passed, and 1 mean to live a demo
crat during my days, however few, that are to
come. The Richmond Enquirer, indeed, you
see, has read me out ot the party, proscribing me,
disavowing me, denouncing me, and lopping me
off as a leprous limb; for these are the terms, in
its might or in its wrath, which it employs. But
l do not acknowledge its jurisdiction—l do not
submit to its decree of excommunication. 1 shall
not say, as Mr. Webster said, under circumstan
ces notentirely dissimilar, ‘-Where shall I go?”
for Ido not mean to go any where. I mean to
stand upon the ground I have occupied for half
a century. I was a democrat in the days when
the Richmond Enquirer was born, years before
the birth of its present editors. lam among the
very few public men now living appointed to
important civil offices by Mr. Jefferson, uearly
fifty years ago; perhaps I am the only one. And
I prize this testimonial of the confidence of that
great and pure statesman as one of the most pre
cious memorials left to me; and I feel that from
that day to this I have adhered to his principles,
and have done nothing to forfeit his confidence
where he yet living. During a long and active
public career I have received far more, and more
important, proofs of the favor ot my country than
I ever expected or merited. I carried little to
her service beside a desire to do my duty; and
now, when my days are almost numbered, and
my aspirations for political distinction are among
* the things that have been, if I can make no Other
return for all this kindness, 1 shall make the re
turn of fidelity, by my adhesion to those princi
ples which have so long been the rule of my
public conduct. I have no griefs to assuage, no
resentments to gratify, no purpose to attain but
the great purposes of the party and of the coun
try. My heart is filled with gratitude for all i
have received, and not with regret because I
have not received more. Animated by these
sentiments, I shall hold on to my party and its
doctrines till my hold is broken by that great
change which sooner or later comes to all.
The Next State Fair.
Columbus is making an early move to get the
next Fair of the Southern Central Agricultural
Society at that city, next year Already she
has made some progress in the movement, and
as “ the early bird catches the worm,” it is not
unlixely that her vigilance in this matter may
be rewarded with success.
The Times 4* Sentinel of the 22nd give the fol
lowing item.
Success of tue Fair Committee. —A por
tion of the Committee appointed by the City
Council to procure subscriptions to the amount
of S3OOO to be offered to the Executive Com
mittee of the Southern Central Agricultural So
ciety as a bonus, provided they will hold the
Annual Fair of the Society in Columbus next
year, have been very busily engaged during the
last two weeks, and at the last m eeting re
ported a reliable subscription of over two thou
sand dollars, in the Ist, 2d, 3d, 4th and sih wards,
and Wynnton. No returns were received from
the Gth ward. The next meeting of rhe com
mitte will be held on Saturday next at 11
o’clock A. M., at the Warehouse of Greenwood
and Grimes, when all committee men are earn
estly requested to meet as it will be the last
meeting of the committee. No report has yet
been made by the committe of the 6th ward or
the Alabama committee. It is earnestly hoped
) that the committee tnen will exert themselves
to make up the deficit by Saturday. A little effort
will secure the subscription. Those, of them who
have uot yet received subscription lists, can get
them by calling at the office of the Times &
Sentinel.
Mobile and Girard Rail Road.
The editor of the Times 4" Sentinel , has been
taking a ride as far as Silver Run on the above
Road. The following noteworthy items of the
trip we copy:
“ Silver Run is a small town which has sprung
up in a night, like Jonah’s gourd, just where the
Raiiroad crosses the Columbus and Glennville
road , .as it will be the terminus of the Railro, d
for the season, it has suddenly become a place of
some importance.
* * ’* * *
The Road was not in good order for “exhibi
tion” —Col. Pillsbury was still engaged in ad
justing the traek;but vve saw enough to convince
fls that the Mobile and Girard Railroad was a
“fixed fact” and in safe hauds. We found cot
ton there from the Middle Cowikee,from beyond
Enon and from the prairies above Chunne
nuggee.
The Road runs in fuli view of old Fort Mit
chell, which is situatedon a bold bluff 10 miles be- :
low Columbus. All that now remains upon !
this spot, one so famous in our border history, is j
a block house, two stories high, and a grave or ,
two which the deep cut Iras exposed to the light ,
ot day.
But two other things worth of special note
were brought to our view on this flying trip—a
steam plow, aryl a mass of peat.
The steam plow is nothing more than a four
horse turn plow, which Col. Pillsbury attaches
to the good engine Chunnenuggee, when she has
‘•nothing else to do,” and employs in opening
the ditches along the track. The Peat is found
in the piney woods between Fort Mitchell and
Silver Run, and is said to be of a very fine qual
ity. It burns readily.
Bank of Augusta.
This old and respectable institution has de
clared a semi-annual dividend of four per cent,
payable on demand. Considering the draw
backs of the last two months, and the fact, that
as yet the Georgia Railroad, in which the Bank
of Augusta owns about 2000 shares, has not de
clared its usual fall dividend—this result is high
ly' satisfactory to stockholders, and creditable to
the management of the Directors.
Every one should rejoice in the prosperity of
this Bank. To the extent of its ability it has al
ways shown a liberal disposition to the business
men ot this community, and a spirit of good citi
zenship. It might have followed other exam
ples, and made more money by pursuing a Bro
ker’s business with greater vigor; but it would
have been possibly at some hazard to itself, and
certainly to no advantage to the community at
large. Long may it continue the even tenor of
its way, prospering and to prosper.
The Milieu House.
We have had occasion several times this sum
mer to take supper at this house, kept by Rob
ert Grey, at the junction of the Waynesboro’ and
Central roads, and we never failed to get a nice,
comfortable and well served repast, it has been
our luck only once to breakfast and dine
having been detained at that point by a failure ot
trains to connect. We were equally well pleased
with our entertainment then. The dinner, especi*
ally, reminded us of the now celebrated Griffin
House, 14 miles higher up the Central road.—
The ( iVlfl!en House, in the dinners it can serve up,
is :io unworthy' rival of that establishment. Suc
. cess to both.
Award of the Darien Bank Coramissicners.
The act of the last session under which this
Board was appointed, rendered it imperative up
on the Governor, to appeal to the Superior Court
of Baldwin county, in any case where the award
against the State, was for a sum exceeding fifty
cents upon the dollar of the claim. In case of a
like verdict in the Superior Court, then he was
directed to appeal, in the last resort, to the Su
preme Court. The Chronicle Sentinel is in er
ror, therefore, in deprecating an appeal from the
recent award. It will perceive that the Gov
ernor has no discretion in the matter.
The censure, if applicable at all, is to the action
of the Legislature in prescribing so tedious a pro
cess tor arriving at a final adjudication of these
long deterred demands upon the honor and jus
tice of the State.
Beautiful Specimen of Needle Work.
That useful little instrument deserves to be
elevated to the dignity of the Fine Arts, and to
be ranked with the Painter's brush, and the
Sculptor’s chisel; for we saw yesterday, at the
Jewelry Store of Clark & Co., so exquisite a
specimen of Needle Work, that we could scarce,
ly realize that it was not a finely executed paint
ing. We may seem to speak extravagantly, but
we are sure ail who have seen the piece referred
to, will acquit us of the charge t>f saying too
muchr
ft is a piece of Needle Work representing The
Surrender of Mary, Queen of Scotts, to the Lords
j atCarbury Hill, Anno Domini, 1567. ft is ex
ecuted
daughters#! Mr. Antony Labuzan, and niece of
Mr. Charles Labuzan, former residents ot this
city. There are many figures in it, on horseback
and on foot, every one of which is symmetrical
and life-like, in attitude and coloring. The tints
and shades, whether of complexion or drapery,
are most delicate, and the fore-shortening and
perspective are in the best style of art. It is
marvellous, that with such material, such results
coqjd be accomplished. The costumes of the
beautiful Queen and her attendants, and of the
stern Knights, by whom sbe is surrounded, are

Large Profits from Advertising.
The Sea Coast Sentinel, published at Biloxi,
disputes the claim of the New York Tribune to
the publication of the most costly advertisement
that has ever been received by an American pa
per. The Tribune’s pay was something less
than nine hundred dollars for the first insertion.
The Sentinel editor says that in 1841 he pub
lished a paper at Louisville, Winston county
Miss., during which year he had an advertise
ment, on which the pay for the first insertion was
about $2,200. It was published weekly three
months, and the cost of the thirteen insertions
was over SIO,OOO. Subsequently,, in 1843, in a
paper published by him in Noxubee county, he
received from eleven to twelve thousand dollars
for a similar advertisement. Several papers in
other counties received about as much pay. The
advertisements were tor tax sales, and the first
one occupied, with the regular sheet of his pa
per and the extra, one hundred and twenty-four
columns. Those were “ Fiush Times” in Mis
sissippi.—Exchange paper.
During the year 1841, there was a small pa- ,
per published at Hernandez, Da Soto county,
Miss., which, it the writer mistakes not, pub-,
lished an advertisement of the same nature that
amounted to $72,000.
The above seem large amounts, but they are
not over stated, as the facts are well known to
all who were connected with “Newspaper
publishing” in that eventful jieriod, the “Flush
Times” in Mississippi. The sales above alluded
to were that ot land fur taxes, and the amount
was paid in par funds. Jho State, or the prin
ters, generally became the purchasers at these
sales. When the State was the purchaser, it
was responsible to the printer for his fees. When
the printer purchased, he either held good titles
to the land,or the owners redeemed them.
We remember the editor of the Sea Coast Sen - !
tinel , in these “ Flush Times” he was Sheriff or
Winston county, Miss, in order to make this
$15,000, he purchased some type and a printing
press, and started a small newspaper at Louis- i
ville. He employed two or three journeyman
printers, had the advertisements put in type?
and the paper printed off for the three months,
all on the same forms, with merely the altera
tions of the dates, and without a line of anything
else but these advertisements. This done, be
discharged his printers. His office was in an old
di*y goods store, and he had his papers folded
and arrranged in regular order as to dates, on the
shelves. His business as Sheriff calling him to
Jackson, he left a small uegro boy to distribute
his papers every Saturday ; the negro misunder
standing his instructions, commenced carrying
out the papers from the wiong place, and when
the Sheriff returned home, he had his work ail
to do over again.
These are not the only instances of large
amounts being made in this way. We could enu- ,
merate several others, but they ware cot quite j
*o profitable as those mentioned Typo. j

Tribute to the late Capt. Samuel C. Wilson
This community will read with a melancholy
interest the following well merited and touching
tribute to the memory of an estimable and gal
j lant gentleman, long and favorably known
among us. More than once we have had occa
sion to speak of his merits while he was yet a
citizen among us. It was with much pain we.
: announced some months ago, his departure from
this city to take up his aborde in our sister city
■ of Charleston.
We little thought then, how soon we would
» be called on to unite with the many friends he
had woo. there, in mourning a common loss in
f his untimely death.
Washington Light Infantry, {
Charleston, S. C., November 23, 1854 )
At a regular Quarterly Meeting of our corps
held last evening, the following preamble and
resolutions were offered by Ex-Captain Wm. D.
Porter, and unanimously adopted :
Among the many melancholy deaths of the
past summer, none has touched us, as a body, so
nearly as that of the late Captain Samuel C.
Wilson. Our interest in him was of older date
than his recent residence in this city. We had
experienced his hospitality as Captain of the
Clinch Rifles of Augusta ; and had learned in
his former home and among his earlier friends,
to appreciate the kindliness of heart, the easy
courtesy, and the frank, manly bearing which
distinguished him as a man and a soldier. Un
der happy auspices was laid the foundatioii of a
friendship which was sundered only by death.
And a death so sudden and under such touching
circumstances ! Many tears fell upon that grave !
Many affections were buried there 1 For over it
stood the widow already stricken unto death,
and the helpless little orphans, bereaved, but all
unconscious of their loss.
The removal ot Captain Wilson to this city
brought him into nearer contact and closer inti
macy with us. As an Honorary member of our
corps, he manifested a lively interest in its wel
fare ! And no more “Welcome visitor found a
place at the drill-room or the hall. He was the
; true type of the citizen-soldier—modest, but
brave, unpretending, but prompt and true to du
ty. He had faithfully served his country both
in war and in peace. And when he fell to his
rest, a true soldier obeyed the call which sooner
- or later mus* come to us all.
We claim to mingle, with others, our grief
over this untfmely grave. A friend and a
counsellor has been lost to us; and in paying a
tribute of respect to his memory, we only in
dulge the emotions which spring naturally from
a friendship founded on mutual esteem.
Be it therefore Resolved, That the Washington
Light Infantry deplore the death of their late
Honorary Member, Captain Samuel C. Wilson,
. and tender their heartfelt sympathies to his sur
viving relatives ir. their Election.
Resolved , That the Officers and Members do
1 wear crape upon the left arm at the next parade,
and that a page in the Minute Book be inscribed
with the name of Samuel C. Wilson and de
dicated to his memory.
Resolved , That a Copy of the Preamble and
Resolutions be communicated by the Secretary
to the family of the deceased.
: Resolved , That the Preamble aud .Resolution*
J be published in the daily papers of this city and
! Augusta.
Extract from the Minutes.
Donald McQueen. Secretary W. L. I.
(communicated )
Tribute of Respect.
At a late meeting of the American Whig So
ciety, in the College of New Jersey, the follow
ing Preamble and Resolutions were unanimous
ly adopted:
Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God, in
the dispensation of his providence, to remove
from our midst, Thomas J. Tripps, a member of
our Sister Society, (the Cliosophic)- and one of our
most beloved companions. Therefore—
Be it Resolved , That we do heartily condole
with the relatives of the deceased in their be
reavement.
Be it Resolved, That we deeply sympathize
with the Cliosophic Society in the loss they have
sustained in the death of a member, whose tal
ents commanded the respect, and whose virtues
the love of his fellow-students.
Be it further Resolved , That in token of our re
spect for the memory of the deceased, we wear
the usual badge of mourning for thirty days.
Also, be it Resolved , That a copy of these reso
lutions bo sent to the family of the deceased, to
the Cliosophic Society, and that they be publish
ed in the Princeton Press, and the Augusta (Ga.)
papers.
A Bank Failure.—We notice in the New
York Herald of the 15th inst., a despatch from
Chicago, stating that the City Bank,of that city,
suspended on the 14th. It may be of some in
terest to our readers in this section, to state that
Mr. C. B. Gurtiss, the Cashier of the city Bank
of Chicago, was in Georgia last winter for the
J purpose of buying a Bank charter to operate up
on in the West. He succeeded in buying up
the stock of the Bank of Milledgeville. It we
are not mistaken, a large portion of the stock of
the Merchants Bank of Macon, is also held by
Bradley, Curtiss & Co., of the Chicago Bank.
Suspended Western Banks.—For the pres
ent we hear of no more suspensions of western
banks; but if there are any more of the same
ilk as those already reported it should not be
deemed anything of a calamity if they too
should shut up shop, that the public may then
haveTlone w.ththem. For the seke of keeping
our readers posted, we extract the following list;
of suspended western baQks, from Thompson’s
Reporter, of Nov. 13.
j The Uuion Bank, Chicago, 111.; the Bank of
| Napierville,Napierville, III; the City Bank, of
! Chicago, 111.; the Mechanics’ Bank, of Chicago,
III; and the Famers’ Bank, of Chicago, 111; are
| said to have failed ; also, the Mechanics
Traders’ Branch of the State Bank of Ohio, Cin
cinnati, Ohio ; the Sandusky City Bank, Ohio ;
j the Farmers’ Joint Stock Banking Company,
Canada; the Bank of CirclevilleT Ohio; the
Exchange Bank, Buffalo, New York; the Canal
Bank, Cleveland, Ohio, the City Bank of Co
lumbus, O.
Seven more Indiana Banks are under protest,
viz:
Wayne Bank, Logansport; State Stock Bank
Indiana, Peru; Upper Wabash Bank, Wabash;
Peru County Bank, CannePon; Stuben County
Bank, Angola; Traders’ Bank, Terre Haute;
Great Western Bank, Terre Haute.
It is proper to add that a number of merch- i
ants of the city of Chicago, Illinois, have agreed
to receive at par the bills of the banks of that
city, which has had a cool effect, but the excite- |
ment nevertheless continues, as the holders want
specie not goods for their hills.
The Union Bank of Chicago was owned by
Forrest Brothers, aud the City Bank,owned bv
Bradley, Curtis & Co
The Failure of the Mechanics* and Traders’
Bank of Cincinnati is not of much importance.
It has been in process of closing its business for
some time past, under the supervision ol the
board ot control. Its capital in August last, was
only $60,000, and its circulation $47,339. The
deposits and circulation are paid without Inter
ruption.
Col. Wa. Walker Acquitted.—The mion- I
darri President of Lower California, has been i
tried and acquitted. Little interest was felt in
the subject the Jury saw the accused deprived
by judgment of the Court of the attend ance of a
witness, Mr. Dillon, Consul to France, upon
whose testimony he relied for some ot the most
important elements of his defence; and the mur
der ot Dr. kaousset Boulbon had wrought a mar
ked and decided change in the public feeling on
the subject of the invasion of Mexico. So great
says the San Francisco Herald, is the abhorrence
in the breasts of this people ol that detestable
ferocity and blood-thirstnessto which Count De
Kaousset fell a victim, that if an armed expedi- j
tion were to leave our wharves to-morrow for [
the invasion of Sonora, there is not power enough j
in tae federal authorities to prevent it.— lbid. |
