TO BUSINESS MEN.
Some of our cotemporaries become very elo
quent on the subject of advertising, when they
desire to explain what many merchants call
hard times. It is a fact that advertising brings
business, rind it is a fact, also, that while the
man who neglects to advertise ) is constantly
deploring the hardness of the times, he who
follows the practice of liberal' and judicious ad
vertising hi a stranger to what is called the
stringency of business or the hardness of the
times. On this subject, an eastern comtempo
rary maintains that it is hardly worth while
for men, however modest they may be, to hide
whatever light they may have, under a bushel,
for the public does not take much trouble in
searching out such over modest merit. If you
have a good thing, which will fill a public want,
let the public know it and you will not long
languish for want of appreciation. In other
words, in these dull times, advertise the in
ducements you offer to those who have any
any money to spend and if the inducements are
sufficient, you will insure patronage. You may
have the hest bouts, the best clothing, the best
dry goods, the best beef, the best groceries,
wines, or anything else, blit if you keep the
secret locked up in your own breast, you may
keep all yOur goods upon your shelves or in
your drawers. The great secret of success in
business is judicious advertising. There is
nothing like keeping your name and business
continually before the people, especially
at this season, when everybody feels lib
erally inclined, and yet disposed to in
vest the money they may have to spend
to the best possible advantage. If you
have holiday presents which you consid
er better than those kept by any one else, and
which you are willing to sell at fair prices,
walk up to the Tamicauke office and tell the pub
lic so, through our columns. We will spread the
fact far and wide for you, give you the benefit
of the large circulation of our three editions,
and thus . ' give you more notoriety than you
could get, if you were to go about for years,
button-holing every man, woman and child
you met, • and forcing them to listen to you.
Every , dollar, jUdicionely invested In this
way, is sure to bring back ten ; in fact,
there is no investment which pays so well as
that spent on the advertising department of a
popular newspaper like the T/ILEPILAPH. The
space you occupy in the paper is yours. In
it you can say to your customers and Mends
just what you please, offer any inducements
you like, and thus have an immense advantage
over those people who have so little confidence
in themselves that they have nothing to say.—
You cannot catch fish without bait, neither can
you do business without advertising. Those
who know the benefits of the system should
take advantage of it now ; those who do not,
should try, it just once. Do not be modest ;
come right qt and tall your story, the public
will be sure' d be interested in it,if it is a good
one. Do not wait till all the holiday luxuries
are purchased, alllhe pate made, but strike
boldly for chance to seal your share of them.'

BELE AS A NAVAL DEPOT.
Whether England concludes to take part in
this rebellion or resolves to " wait a little
longer" for a more propitious hour to ,gratify
the long cherished hopes of her aristocracy, of
destroying the great Republic of the West, the
necessity of protecting our entire range of
northern border along British territory, is now
and ever will be, one of vast importance. There
can hereafter be no social reciprocity or commer
cial understanding between Great Britain and
this government, simply because the English ar
istocracy who govern, have evinced a hatred for
the free 'masses of this land, such as we did not
anticipate from the pioneers of Constitutional
liberty. And in view of these facts, the necessity
of erecting naval depots upon the Lake shores
and military fortifications along the north-east
and western Canadian boundary, is daily becom
ing a work of imperative and instant importance.
We have no right, hereafter, to trust either the
Canadian rebels or the English aristocracy.
The former, when they attempted their sickly
resolution a few years since, were too willing to
seek refuge under our government until they
could obtain pardon from their own, when they
returned to Canada and became the bitterest
revilers of the Yankee—while the English aria
tocracylave ever been the secret foes of that
system which in this government elevates
every man to the position of a sovereign.
In view of these facts, and they are historical,
the necessity of protecting our border along
English territory is very important. . One of
the most important features of this protection
will consist of the fleets to be maintained on the
lakes, finch as will be able to cope with the
English war craft which we must sooner or later
expect to encounter in those waters. And when
this necessity is admitted, a still greater neces
sity arises of at once establishing a naval depot
on the lakes, in such a central position as will
be a protection both against the rough weather
in that region, and afford facilities of early com
munication with the great manufacturing marts
and markets of supply along the Atlantic sea
board.
Ruch a locality is presented by Erie.
In every respect, the city and harbor of Erie,
Is the most desirable, as affording a bay both
deep and spacious, for a fleet to ride at anchor ;
with banks 100 feet high, on which batteries
could be erected to prevent the entrance of a
hostile fleet; the supply of ship timber in that
region and along the lines of railroad leading to
that point is inexhaustible ; with every facility
for obtaining coal and iron for manufacturing
purposes, combine to render the harbor of Erie
the most desirable for a naval depot of all the
other harbors on our lakes.
We give this subject our most earnest recom
mendation, and trust that no time will be lost
on the part of the Navy Department in at once
selecting this point for the purpose named.—
Such a selection is demanded both by economy
and the highest considerations of national de
-1 fence and preservation.
RESIGNATION AND APPOINTMENTS
Gen, William H. Kelm, for two years the
Surveyor General of the State, has been appoint
ed by the President of the United States, a
Brigadier-General in the army, Gen. Kelm,
during his connection with the Surveyor Gen
eral's Department of the State, won for himself
many personal friends, by his uniform courtesy
and diligence, and elicited the commendation
of the people at the initiation of our national
embarrassments, by promptly volunteering his
services in defence of the national honor, law
and authority. His appointment to the com
mand of a brigade was therefore well merited,
and we have no doubt that the responsibility
thus imposed will be faithfully discharged.
In view of this appointment of Gen. Kelm,
his resignation as Surveyor General becomes im
perative, and therefore Gov. Curtin has at once
selected a successor in the Land Department, in
the person of Hon. Henry Souther, late State
Senator, of Elk county. Mr. Souther is well
known as an able and most reliable gentleman,
by whom the duties of Surveyor General will
be faithfully discharged.
OAPT. VAN SWORTOW.
The services of this gentleman, in a military
sense, have been important and manifold during
his entire connection with Camp Curtin, and
we therefore cannot refrain from acknowledg
ing the general obligation under which the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania rests for these
services, at a time when Capt. Van Swortow re
tires from all connection with the camps in this
region. No man labored more zealously to en
sure and promote a military discipline, and to
no man's energy is more credit due for the
commendation which the volunteers from the
Keystone state have received, than to Captain
Van Swartow. He deserves well at the hands
of the state and the nation, and we trust that
the latter will not be long in recognizing in him
a soldier worthy of both full confi
dence and honorable position. An appoint
ment to a command in the army would be hail
ed by the volunteers from this state almost as
an omen of victory.
Tan ORDEN/MOM of sax:mien was passed on the
20th day of December, 1860, and less than a
year has seen the footsteps of the invader on the
soil of South Carolina—the commerce of her
ports destroyed—her crops given to the flames—
her slaves escaping—her material wealth re
duced to almost nothing—beggary and near
starvation racking her people—and finally her
chief city laid in ashes without even the hand
of the " northern enemy" being laid upon her.
Verily the nest in which was hatched the viper
of secession, has fared ill, and all who may be
hereafter disposed to adopt the policy of " rule
or ruin" may take warning. Some way the
destruction reaches them, and how it reaches
them is a matter of but little consequence.
OUR NATIONAL Docrox's BILL—The Surgeon
General of the army asks an appropriation for
the next fiscal year of $3,500,000, besides the
pay of the surgeons, for the medical and hospi
tal departments. His estimates are founded
upon the basis of $7 per man for an aggregate
of 500,000 men. Besides this, the Paymaster
General asks for 878,000, for the payment of
500 female nurses. Add to these Heins the pay
of 600 surgeons, and you have the doctor's bill
of the i lrederafarmar, irhfcli . will considerably.
'eiceed 4000,000 a year!
The Great Fire at Charleston.
The loss by this great fire is estimated at $7,-
000,000. The following are the only extracts
from Charleston papers, which have reached ua
since the fire:
The Courier says . the most gratifying incident
of the fire was the zeal manifested by the slaves
in their efforts as firemen and laborers. The
entire population, male and female, worked
most earnestly. Subscriptions for the poor suf
ferers by the terrible conflagration has been
opened at the Bank of Charleston, and $2,000
had been subscribed.
The Mercury of Friday says : Yesterday was
a gloomy day for Charleston. Business was
universally suspended, and with one impulse
our community united in giving sympathy and
aid to the victims of the great public calamity.
The Courier says the fearful conflagration
that has just passed over our city will cause the
12th of December, lB6l hereafter to be remem
bered as one of tose dark and trying periods
which for the moment seem to paralyze all the
long cherished hopes and bright anticipations
of the future. We have been visited by one of
those mysterious dispensations of Providence
which we cannot attempt to solve. Our city
has received a terrific blow which will fake the
work of years to repair. Let us nerve ourselves
then for another start, thankful we are still
left with the same bold spirit and strong arms,
to make a new and perhaps more substantial
prosperity for our beloved city.
TEN GAP GANG AGAIN. —Some two weeks ago
a black fellow was arrested near Pennington
villa, Chester county, on a charge of steaßn?
some grain from Andrew Steward's warehouse.
Since his confinement there hegave such infor
mation as implicates several others in the same
transaction, among whom were Elias Levison,
a tall yellow fellow, and Wm. Bear, of the
"Gap Gang" notoriety. On searching the house
of Levison, thirty bushels of wheat and eight
bushels of clover seed were secreted in the cel
lar, but Levison was nowhere to be found. On
Saturday last he was heard of in Philadelphia,
and Mr. Steward, accompanied by another gen
tleman, left Permingtonville in search of him.
After acme difficulty, they found that he had
hired his services to a soldier company which
was encamped near the city. By the aid of an'
officer he was arrested and lodged in prison,
where he remained a day, and on Monday, was
brought to the West Chester jail. He had a
hearing before Esquire Whitehead, where he
talked about the robbery in a very unconcerned
manner, as though he thought it was a mere
matter of business. Bear has left the neighbor
hood but a strict watch is being kept for him.
Since the pardon for his last offence, which took
place about a year ago, he has been pretending
to be very good, attending church very regular
ly, andsome time ago seemed anxious to become
a member. It was, however, thought advisable
to put him on probation.
A New Iturorous DENOYINA.TIOII.—The first
service of the "Conference of the Independent
Methodist Churches in the United States" was
held in the St. John's Methodist Church in this
city on Wednesday and Thursday last. About
twenty, delegates, lay and clerical, were in at
tendance, representing Indbpendent Methodist
Churches in different parts of the country. Bev.
M. Staple, of Brooklyn was chosen President ;
Rev. H. Mattison, of New York Secretary, and
James M. Coburn, of New York Treasurer. Two
young men were ordained to the ministry, and
arrangements were made for starting a periodi
cal to be called the Methodist Independent, to be
edited by Professor Mattison. The peculiarities
of this sect are that while they adhere to Metho
dist doctrine and mode of worship, they have no
"Bishops" or "Presiding Elders ; ' the churches
are independent of the Conference, own their
church property, choose their own pastors, and
retain them as long as they please ; and
Conference, composed of ministers and lay dela
gates, has no legislative, executive or judicial
authority over the local churches beyond that of
mere advice and recommendation. The Articles
of Faith of the Methodist Episcopal Church
were adopted by the Conference, and recom
mended to the local churches as a doctrinal
platform, and a carefully prepared plan of union
or constitution was adopted and subscribed by
all the delegates present.—New York Evening
Post of Saturday.
Tas New Farman Usormuis.—A correspond
eat of one of our cotemparies, writing from
Washington, thus alludes to the new Zonave
uniforms, recently furnished Col. McLane's and
Col. Black's regiments :—"On my way home
from MeCall's to Col. Black's regiment, on Mi
ner's Hill, I found the road lined with Erie
boys, coming out to show their new uniforms,
brought from France—the real Zonave dress.—
It is blue. The breeches are about three* feet
across the hips in width, tapering down to the
ankle, a sort of blue monkey jacket, a large
cape down to the knees, with a hood fastened on
to the back of it; one tight cloth skull cap, with
a tassel, and a dress parade cap, which very
much resembles our old patent leather cap.—
This cap has a plume of red, white and bine
feathers. There was great competition for these
uniforms and equipments. Col. Black and Col.
McLane were the victors. The Erie boys got
theirs one day sooner than Col. Black. The
consequence was they were nearly crazy with
joy. If you you would ask them anything,
they would say, 'Everybody thinks it's a big
thing.' lam sure it is the ugliest garment on
the banks of the Potomac. All day Sunday
Col. Black's men were busy getting up their
new tents, which came -with the uniforms. The
tents are pure. linen, circular, some eighteen
feet in diameter, and will accommodate sixteen
men ; they have a pole in the centre, around
which is a complete rack for guns, &c."
THE ADMINISTRATION AND. ENGLAND.—The
Washington correspondent of the St. Louis Re
publican in reference to the war news from
Great Britain, says :
"A year ago, a man predicting we would
ever be embroiled with England on aunt of
her companionship of slavery, would have been
instantly treated to a straight jacket and emplace
on the brain. Yet there are,things more en •
-
tirely impossible than a war with England.
They are behaving very foolishly in Liverpool,
and the London Timm though admitting that
we are (right, very str ongly insinuates that we
are not to be allowed our rights in this matter,
and that now is a very good fibre to tackle us
anyhow. Ido not think that we can be bullied
into a war. But if I understand the old gentle
man who at , present lives in the Executive man
sion there will be no sacrifice of honer or prin
ciple even to avoid .a war with the swaggering
bully of the "United Islands. As to giving up
Mason'and Slidell, that may be done, as Wise
observed of John Brown, "after we are done
with them." If Great Britain demands them,
Mr. Seward will probably reply, "send on your
burial cases."
Mn. Parma, the Chairman of the House In
vestigating Committee, says he has come to
the knowledge of facts which convince him that
this war is graver and more difficult than any
one would suppose. There are rebels in the
army, in the cannon foundaries ; rebels in the
Bureaus, where especially loyal men, wholly
above suspicion, ought to be—rebels about the
high offices of the Government. He bas called
attention to these facts in •the proper quarter.
Courintaraas.—Counterfeit fives on the Citi
zens' Bank of Middletown,Delaware, are ex
tensively circulated in Piladelphia. Altered
notes on this bank, of the denomination of $8
