We think he might hive adver- tised more judiciously; but hardly any advertis- ing can be so injudicious as nuove at all. The ublisher of a young rival (The New York Weekly) in the same line pays us over $1,500 for an advertisement in one issue of The Weekly Tribune; and we believe he will make money by the experiment. The present publisher of The American Agriculturist bought tuat paper, when several years old, with less than three thousand subscribers; he soon commenced ad- vertising it extensively, and within the two or three last years has run up its circulation to the vicinity of thirty thousand. He has certainly improved his periodical intrinsically; but this, and | without advertising, would not have raised his subscription by this time to ten thousand. And he has made by his work the money which he had thus expended, so that the largely increased value of his establishment is so h clear gain “We might multiply such snbstances indefi- nitely. Mr. P.

If it be advisable to pay for a sign over a merchant's door, it is equally advisa- ble to take measures to inform those who might pass that way if they ouly knew the store was there. * Of course, advertising, like evervibing « has its limitations. The owner of a co: grocery in Williamsburg or # drug store in. New- ark can rarely afford to advertise iis business in a widely cisculated New York daily; because ninety-nine hundredths of those who read that daily are most unlik-ly to patronize that grocery, that drug-store, no matter how fully aware of its existence. But if there were a sheet circulating only or mainty within the natural circle of his custom, and cireulating generally there, the grocer or drugyist could wil afford to pay fairly for advertising therein. ** Half those who attempt to advertise damage themselves by concealment or unwise brevity We presume few sensible, substantial persons ever Leed an advertisement conched in te:ms of mystery or ambiyuity.

INTERESTING From Kaxeas —We learn by telegraph from St. Louis that a call for a mertiny at Leavenworth, Kansas, to forma vigilance co: mittee, was responded to on the 15th instant by a Jarge number of citizens. Generai Larimore, tate of Pittsburg, presided. Resolutions were adopt- ed, discountenancing such an organization, de- elaring that no necessity exists for its establish- jment, and expressing entire confidence in the au- thorities to Properly administer the laws An arrangement bas been made to establish Yegular communication between Fort 1 ‘worth and the outward bound colomns Utah forces. Two expresses will leave Fison every week untii farther notice A inass meeting was held at Fort Scott on the 15th, to take into consideration the best means Zor the adjustment of the difficulties of that ree @'@m. Kesolutious were una ‘monsly adopted to the following effect; To proceed to a thoroush, Civil organization of the county, ta accordance with the law approved February, 1568; to refer all past offences against the laws to the grand ju- TY; to refiain from the prosecution of vexatious arrests for imaginary or pet offences, and dis. countenance such proc codites, from whatever Source tLey come; to exert themselves to preserve peace, and to assist in Preserving the laws; to take no part fn the pre-emption of claims quar- Beis, but leave the contestants to settle their dir.

The amendments to the police bill referred to were rejected for the reason that the Board re- Pose entire confidence in the Mayer to appoint no ses on the police who is a member of an “itlegal or disorderly” ciub, a loiterer about “‘drinking-bLouses,’’ or destitute of “good moral character * The Councils were evidently dis- Posed to hold the Mayor responsible for the up- pointroent of the police, and were: therefore, unwi'ling in an y Way to stand between him and bis appointees.” . The Union has surely found some novel wrinkles in law and government as a tounda- tion fur this effusion. It amounts to this: be- cause the City Council has confidence in the Mayor, it is not incambent upon it to legislate for the interests of the community. If that is Ks theory. let it adjourn, thea, and throw all the resvonsibility on the Mayor, saving the @'ty, in the meantime, the expense of supporting it. This is, hewever, the first time we ever heard the dovtrine that a legislative body may omit t> periorm its functious, because it has confi- dence in the executive braneh of the govern- ment; and we contend that such a proposition is not onty based on false, but ridisulously ab- sird principles. The City Council is a legislative body, cre~ ated by the charter atid elected by the people, to perlorm sqrtajn functions, and they falsity eaven- of the he gar- their oaths of office by the omission of any duty because of the confidence they may choose to re- pose in the municipal executive. But, further than this, the law is a permanency, while the chief executive officer of the city changes bian- nially. What right, then, can the existing City Couneil have to repose confidence in the next Mayor of Washington? > Tus Lavors or tax Rerusiican Parry.— The naive confession of the exact character of the practical labors of the Republican party leaders, to be found below, is from the columns of the New York Tribune, which may be sup- Posed to speak understandingly in'such a con- nection. It requires few comments from our pen to illustrate the tendency toward disunion of such conduct on the part of. persons ambi- tious of being the leaders of a great party. Such practical illustrations of the end and aim of the Republican party organization are far more forcible in their influence on the minds of right-thinking persons, than the counter statements of Republican party members of Congress, who, in their respective speeches, protest that their party does not aim to inter- fere with slavery in the States as recognised and guarantied in the Constitution of the Uni- ted States : “The underground railroad is doing a large business. A correspondent in a city on the line of the road says that so largely has the number of fogitives increased of late that at a private meeting of the leading Republicans of the town. acommittee to take charge was appointed, an the sum of $1,000 ordered to be raised to defray expenses.”” Dacotsn Lanps.—The following is the form of declaration, or preparatory statement,framed by the General Land Office, to be filed in the district offices in which the lands lie by persons taking pre-emptions of tracts of land lying in the body known as the half-breed tract, lying on the west side of Lake Pepin and the Missis- sippi, in the State of Minnesota, in accordance with the provisions of the act of May 19th, 1858 : 1, A. B., of the county of , State of Min- nesota, being [the head of a family, a widow, or single man) over 2U years of aye, (as the case may be,) a citizen of the United States, [or, hav- ing filed my declaration to become a citizen as required by the nsturalization law.] (as the case may be,) have settled and improved the quarter section, number , of range num- ber , in the district of lands subject to sale at the land office at , and containing acres, which tract has not bewn settled upon in good faith by, and is not in the orca- pancy of any half-breed, or mixed blood of the Bacotah or Sioux nation of Indians, and has not been located prior to the 19th of May, 1858, with the half-breed scrip, with my consent, aud which tract was rendered subject to pre- emption by the act of Congress of 19th of May, 1855; and Ido hereby declare my intention to claim the said tract of land under the provisions of said act of 19th May, 1558. Given under my hand this A. D. 1858 (Signed,) In presence of C. D. day of A.B Tue AtrLantic TeLecrars.—The Navy De- partment is in receipt of a letter from Captain Wm. L. Hudson, of the steamer Niagara, off Piymouth harbor, England, datcd June 10, 1858, in which he says: ** 1 bave the honor to report that the telegraphic squadron, consisting of the Niagara, and H. B. M. steamers Agamemnon, Valorous and Gorgon, are now under way for the platean, which we ope to reach, under sail, (it being necessary for the accompanying vessels to husband their coal until we arrive at that point,) in from seven to ten days, or sooner with favorable winds. Ar- riving at the position desiynated, we shail avail ourselves of the first peepee moment to splice the cable, get down the bight, and separate w.ta care and circumspection, towards the respective places selected for landing the ends of the cable— the Agamemnon and Valurous for the bead of Valentia eee rel and the Niagara and Gor- gon for the head of ity bay, Newfoundland— which we hope successfully to reach, under the plection of that Almighty Power whom winds and seas obey, about the Int of July. J avaih my- self of this oveasion port the continued good health of all on board” Laxp Warnaxrs.—An important change is made in this description of property, by the act of Congress of Jane 34, 1558. They were formerly held as real estate, and conveyed af- ter forms and methods prescribed for real es- tate; but this act converts them into personal chattels, and makes them subject in convey- ance, assignment, &c., to the laws governing personal property. In the event of the death of the claimant, prior to the issuing of the warrant, this act also provides that the title to the warrant shall then vest in the widow, if one is left; and, if not, then it shall descend as other personal chattels to the other heirs or legatees. Gop 1 Wasnixeton Territory.—It is stated that Gov. Stevens, of Washington Ter- ritory, who is admitted to be thoroughly ac- quainted with the country in that region, and to be likewise a gentleman of comprehensive scientific attainments, credits the reports of the existence of a gold region on Frazier river, between latitudes 49 deg. and 53 deg. north. He also states that the field extends into our possessions, and presumes, from well estab- lished data, that gold may be found all along the Pacific slope within our limits. Tue New Navau VesseLs.—The Secr ary of the Navy has not decided whether to build the new vessels for the Navy, ordered by a re- cent act of Congress, at the Government Navy Yards, under Government officers, or by pri- vate contract. It is generally belticved the former course will be pursued, as tho Govern- ment is provided with all the necessary facilf- ties. Post Orrice Insrrvctions.—Hon. Voratio King, First Assistant Postmaster General, has instructed the postmaster at Montpelier, Ver- mont, that patterns and blank sample sheets are subject to letter postage ; and that printed ballots and business blanks are to be rated by the sheet—each sheet being regarded as a single circular, no matter how many tigbes the blank is repeated upon it.
