' PROSPECTUS.
The year 1SC3 will lon be remembered
for its settlement of the boundary question
between Aristocracy of Color and Impar
tial Human Liberty. The War of the
Rebellion being closed, wo have now to
decide whether the fundamental idea
which impelled and justified theRebeUioa
shall dominate over our whole country,
molding her institutions and shaping her
destiny. It it be true that liod has not
created all men, but ouly all White men, in
Hi- own imae, and uvjdc them equal in
political aud civil rights, then it is a
world-wide calamity that Grant did not
surrender to Lee at Appomattox: and
4,The Lo.-t Cause," trodden into mire uuder
the hoots of Sheridan's rough-riding cav
alry, not only should but will be regained
in Constitutional Conventions and at tnc
balhu-box. It the Black race, because
they are Black, should be excluded from
the jury-box and repelled lroui the ballot
box, then Stouewail Jackson ought to
head the roll of American martyrs, embla
zoned high above the nanus of Warren
and .Mercer and PuLski j of Elkvrorth,
Ljon, Raker, Reynolds, Wadaworth, Kear
uy, Sedgwick, and McPherson.
it is difficult tn argue with a blind,
besotted prejudice, grounded in ignorance
and tortiued by te:i-conceit. uevoiu oi
rtasou, it ii hardly amenably to reason.
Rut millions vho would listen unmoved to
appeals ba?ed ou Justice and Humanity
can be btirred by tacts which aff ct tlieir
own iuterest and satety. The naked truth
that every Southern State reconstructed
on the White basis i to-day a Rebel
State shaped and ruled by men who ex
ecrated Lincoln's reluctant aud tardy re
sistance to the Rebellion as a causeless
aud criminal aggression, and profoundly
rejoiced over Bull Run as their victory
will prove invincible, if we can but bring
it home to tlie apprehension of every loyal
voter. There it no paramount question of
good faith or gratitude to the Blacks.
Their votes are as necessary to the pre
ponderance of White loyalty to their
own protection and security. Reconstruct
the South cn the White basis, and every
one of the lte:u States which held slaves
in 18G0 will be inteusely, overwhe'uringly
Copperhoad thenceforth ad everm-re.
Allow to-day the pica that the Blacks are
ignorant and degraded, end thoe whom
you theu-by ciothe with power will take
good care that the plea shall ba vidid
and well-groundud a century hence a it
now is. ruuiie uuucaiion ana uivii xwinis
for the Freedmen can oaly be achieved and
maintained through the ballot. "We arc
for Negro Suffrage the way they suffer
ed it Ne A'-Orleans," was the inscription
ou a banuer borne in a lute Cnserative
or Democratic procession in Baliimoio ;
and the spirit which dictated that avowal
is stiil rampant in the South Rut lor
what i-stigma'.ized a- Military Despotism,
it would daily avenge by uutrage and
infliction what it deems negro treachery to
the Southern cause.
T hk Tribune has declined to be lured
or turned tic Lie from tht Main Question
It has pertinently refused to swell the
clamor for veniience on the defeated

crete, which is the - precursor of a still
greater war, has been watched 'by one of

Every. step of Garibaldi's recent heroic

the Republican chief thin thope which
have colored the ndviccs of our regular

the first National expedition t" Alaska,
Walru.sia, or whatever' our splinter of the
North Pole may be called, and is now re
porting on the aspects and capabilities of
that chilly region. Bayard Taylor is wri

and invite the teachers of the common
schools, and other institutions ot learn

aud organize themselves into a teachers'
instiLute, to be devoted to the improve

management, to his control.
Sec 3. That each county superinten
dent, upon the assembling of the teacher's
institute of his county, shall cause a roll
of members to be prepared, which roll j
shall be called at least twice every day,
during the se.won of the institute, and

upon the presentation of a certificate, at

To the Elllor vf The Alltghanian :
The bnse ball season havinjr closed, a
bief review of the career during the latel year, address a short article to advertiser,
The Hural Gentleman, of Baltimore,"
tays a great many sensible-things iu the
following article :
"We would do.t, at this season of the
and especially those who do not advertiso
regularly. Generally, newspaper articles
are written for the beuefit of readers, but
we think advertisers need a lecture occa
sionally as well as readers. But one would
hardly think this should b-i the case, for
' - - - - . w - J
beu'ea by a tinyte run in the extraordiua- men who advertise are generally men of
nly low score ot 1(J to 17.
During the season just passed, the Club
played nine first-nine games, and a frac
tional part of another. The measure of
fiscation ; aud one of its
lor this course is a conviction that no drop
uf Rebel b!od could be coolly, deliberate
ly shed without essentially cloudiug the
prospect ol eecuriug the-llighl of Suffrage
to the Blacks. Defying the madness of
and bliuduess of slioi tsighfed misconccp
tion, it nas demanded liecoustructiou on
the basis ot Universal Amnesty with Im
partial Suffrage, in perlect consciousne.3
of the fact that it thereoy alienated thou
sands who had beeu its zealous supporters
and lift-long patrons. The hour of its
complete vindication cannot be far distant
As tor the man who is to be the chosen
standard-bearer of the Republican host in
the impending contest, while we avoiv our
deliberate preference ot Chief Justice
Chase as the ablest and most eminent o
our living statesmen, The Tribune wil
render a hearty, cneerful, determined sup-
port to Gen. Grant, or Sauator Wade, or
Speaker Colfax, should he be nominated
aud supported on a platform which affirms
and upholds the equal political as well as
civil rights of all citizeus of the Republic.
We do uot contemplate as possible the
support by Republicans ot any candidate
who does uot stand ou this platform. And
we do not apprehend that the candidates
who, in our approaching siruggle, shall
reprcscut genuine Democracy in opposi
tion to the meanest phase of Aristocracy
can bo beaten it proper means be system
atically takcD, as they mu-t aud will be,
to enlighten and arouse the American
people.
ve will thank such friends as believe
that The Tribune will prove an efficient
and cheap way to influence the undecided,
to aid us in extending its circulation.
Though ours is eminently a political jour
nal, but a small portion ot its space is de
voted to politics, while an outlay of more
than 200,000 per annum is incurred in
collecting and transmitting news from all
parts of the world. We have regular
correspondents at nearly all the capitals
of Europe, with a director at London, who
is authorized to dispatch special corres

good, sharp, buiicss ideas, aud, as a gen
eial thiug, are men who aru successful in
business. Take the world over, and ask
all the merchants who have retired rich
the true secret of their success ; ask them
what it was that first brought them intu
public favor, and they wili tell you it was.
a judicious system ot advertising. But
the question fiist to be solved by all who
intend to advertise "is what is a proper
aud profitable mode of using the priuterV
ink ? Aud before answering this, we must
know what class of custom you intend to
reach. If you are doing an entirely city
trade, of course it is only a waste of mon
ey to advertise in country papers; and
the same may be said if you arc cngaccd
exclusively in a couniry trade it will
only be throwing moaey away to make
use ot the columns of the city dailies.
But if your trade is with the country
people generally, then use the best coun
try papers published in the section in
which you desire to trade, and give them

a goou auvertisement not sucn as you.
sometimes see in the papers, making a
great deal of fuss when they have but
very little to sell. Advertise just what
you have to sell, and keep it always be
fore the people. Above all, don't do
your advertising spasmodically that is to
say, don't advertise a few days, and then
stop a month, as most people do, arguing
that it is no time to advertise in a dull
season. A greater mistake was never
made, for it is during the dull season that
pf ople have the most time to read the pa
pers, and by so often reading over the
advertisement ot a firm, the. buyer begins
to think ho is acquainted with the same,
and very uaturaliy finds himself wending
his way to the house whose advertisement
he has seen and read so frequently during
the dull winter or the hot summer months.
Some men fully understand the use of the
printer, and make him lend a helping
hand toward gaining The fortuue wc aro
all looking for. Why may not others do
the same? Surely what has becu den
ciu bo done again."

The tractioual game spoken ol was with
the Juniatas ot liollidaysburg, in Ebens
burg, July G'h. Only one inning was
played, owing to the insetting of a violent
rain storm at that stage of the gume.
The one inning played resulted as tollows:
For the Mountaineers, 5 runs; for the
Juniatas-, 4 runs.
It will thus be seen that of nine first-ela-?3
games played during the season,
eijht resulted in favor ot the Mountain
eers, and orie againt them. The total
number of runs made by the Mountaiueers
was 4S6, to 254 runs made hy all oppo

the Mountaineers.
