SATURDAY, - MARCH 15, 185 G AprzartsE.—lrow oen persons engaged in business expect to prosper if they do not let :the public i:1131V what they aro doing? Those desiring to make purchases, will, of .course, go where they know articles which they wish arc for sale. As well might a blacksmith attempt to make a 'watch, or a white . sMith a horse-shoe, as for a merchant or -antraufaeturer to Andeavor to succeed without advertising. All should be aware that using a small space in the columns of a newspaper in stating the business in which they are engaged, is the readiest and cheap est way to obtain customers. It is an unde niable fact that princely fortunes have been made in this way, whilst many of those he ,longing to the "old fogy' school have scate 13- realized simple interest on their invest ments. It is a mistaken notion that the money paid for advertising is "just so much thrown away," and those who act in accord ance with that belief, are "penny wise and pound fooli,b." Let busbies men consult their interests by trying the experiment of advertising. It will cost them but little. Germantown Tetegrapit sensibly remarks, that using the slang terms of Abo i tionikt, Loco Foco, Black Republican, Dark Lantern, &c„ in respectable journals, is in very bad taste, and should be discounte nanced. Politielan , , as a class, do not stand on such elevated ground as to be above the daily application of terms having. a ten dency to lessen them in public estimation. When the occasion calls for it, we like to see strong, entlihatic, and truthful language in t-lifted in, without mincingor hair-splitting. the truth and the facts uttered in a frank, homely speech, carry a warrant with them. But nothing betrays a vulgar pen, and a mean, concealed attempt to injure, more than the habitual use of degrading names , and phrases applied to parties, sects r. There may at times, be occasion to use terms familiar to the public, to designate divisions, 1. it these are not liable to this olljection. ; TIM BLISS or .)f.innt.w.E.----Marry when 'you like..

Russia, it was rumored, had con ceded the required limitation of territory, and agreed to the destruction of Sevastopol, Bomarsund, and Nicolaielr, but after grant ing so much of practicalimportance was ob stinately bent on retaining her shadowy pro tectorate over the Greek Christians. Re newed expressions of uneasiness were find ing vent in England at the partiality to wards Austria Misplayed in France, and a triple league between 'France, Austria and Russ'aconte nplated as pot si'de. This, how ever, nias be, and probably is, nothing more than the result of a discontented feeling arising in England from the inferior part she played in the war, and the demi ance of French inilnenee in the Peace Con ference. in England the excitement in reference to the United States had become thoroughly exhausted, and reason having resumed its sway we may hope that a bet ter understanding of the questions at is , ue between the two government.; will prepare the way for an antic:Ue settlement.

Lxerunr..—We are gratified to have the pleasure to announce a lecture by Dr. liam Elder, of Philadelphia, in the Odd Fel ; lows' Hall, this (Saturday) evening. Dr. Elder is no ordinary lecturer; he deals in profound truths, irresistible arguments, and advances his ideas—generally new to his hearers—with a clearness and force that marks his as one of the few original minds of the day. Those who heard him in Lam cater, a few weeks ago s were highly mratii lied as well as astonished at the skill die ; played in his reasoning, and pronounced the etEF-rt a brilliant one. We doubt not the llall will be crowded this evening. The Dr's subject will be "Skilled Industry," one I in which the great mass of people are inter ested. This may be the only opportunity our citizens will ever have of hearing a lec ture from this gifted orator, and those who have it in their power to attend yet slight or neglect it, will miss a rare intellectual en tertainment, if they do not regret its loss long as they live.

"Phil' Shea," oric of,the belliger- OntS, quickly asq.imed a grandly hostile at titude, but his short friend, 11 a series of rapid movements, succeeded in out-flanking him, dealing at the same time several well- directed volleys, which soon haul the effect of placing Mr. Shea hors-de-combat. The distance was too great fur us to ascertain whether the "parole" mmal among "the fancy" was given for a parley, but a cessa tion of hostilities did take place—Phil's friend going off northwardly in a huff, whilst I Phil' himself, after slinking the slia , h of the I kennel from his robes, danced a grand "rig adoon" to the Washington House opposite and return, apparently highly gratified with the result. wsy-The night passenger train of can, tine at this place yesterday morning at 2,40 A.
