Here, hoys, give us the several points required to he illuminated in this, our present i.sueand let's to work like men as we are.

No. L.egislature. On this subject, we shall be brief. Why I- Because but little of legislat iotn has been achieve.l by our lionorables. Soine of that little, hctvever, isgaaiod.

They tell us that two millions of dollars have been appropriated towards the Blue Gap Road. Ten thousand cheers to that livlc! All praise to the men who strnek it! W're made, all of us.

We might say a vast deal more, of high interest, on this great subject, but time forbids. The Colonel remarked. in number before last, that our present Legislature a fine tine, and we guess lie must have been pretty near right.

No. on a Credit. Wonderful news hogs can bi had in this market at cents, ont sixty lays credit! Come, every one at hiungers, and huy, without money, without cash. But mind you! pay-day is to follow upon thi heels of your backbones anal spareribs-anl then what? Thank the Lord! we are not i the market. Whatever other ills hang around our tnky pathway, the necesity of buying hogs, and butchering hogs, and aying up for hogs, is not one of them.
