THE W E S T E R N .DEMO C TLXTr C Ilk R LO TT E, "X D: CHARLOTTE, N. C. ADDBESS PBOM HON. JOHN POOL AND OTHBB BEPUBIICANS. The Ilalcigb Progress publishes an Address j to the people of North Carolina, which it savs was written by Hon. John Pool, ami endorsed by Hon. B. P. Dick, D. R. Goodloe and Hon. Thos. Settle, censuring the proceedings and action of the late Republican State Convention Leld at llaleigh. Messrs. Pool, Dick, Goodloe and Settle have heretofore co-operated with the Republican party. We saw a printed copy of this Address some weeks ago, but did not have an opportunity to read it. We know Mt Pool to be the author of it. The Address alludes to the fears entertained by many people in regard to disfranchisement and confiscation should ibe Republican party get complete control in this State, and then says: " That tUt'&e apprehensions might be quieted by haviug tba position of the party upon these and other points distinctly and unequivocally set forth and promulgated in North Carolina, it wan deemed expedient and proper that a Convention of republicans tshould be called to meet in the city of Ralegh, on the 4th day of September, 1867. The Convention was accordingly assem bled, but' its action. was not such as was hoped and expected. It was, confessedly, unfortunate that after the courtesy shown to recent settlers from the North, by making a prominent politician from the State of Ohio. (Col. Heaton.) the tem- Eorary Chairman of the Convention, they should avo demanded, and by appeals to the colored delegates on the ground of military services, se cured the rejection of one of the most prominent and worthy of the native Unionists of the State, (Gen Dockery,) and have placed iu his stead, as permanent President, a stranger from the State of New Hampshire, (Gen. J. C. Abbott.) a gentle man previously unheard of by the masses of our people, or known only as an officer from the Fed eral army who had recently located near Wilming ton in this State. It is still more to be regretted that the colored speakers from Wilmington and its vicinity, seconded by a gentleman from New York, (Col.:Pock,) in advocating the election of Gen. Abbott, should have used language sug gestive of purposes calculated to increase pre viously existing apprehensions. They paraded the military prestige of their candidate in fighting against slavery, while they reproached the native citizens of the State with struggling to perpetuate it. and charged Southern Union men with acting either from cowardice or from a hope to save their slave property by terminating the war short of emancipation. The effect of thse appeals upon the colored delegates was manifested by the excitement aud enthusiasm with which they re jected the counsels of (he more considerate of their own race, and of one officer, lately in the Federal service. (Gen. Lafiin.) who met only re proach and insult for raising his voice in advo cacy of moderation and prudence. The election of Gen. Abbott as permanent President of a North Carolina Convention, was followed by the election of four Secretaries, two of whom were strangers lately located among ns and two colored r.en. It could hardly be ex pected that the Congress of the United States would be likely to view the action of a Conven tion so controllf d. as expressive of the true senti ments of this State, or the success of a party under it as affording sufficient evidence of the temper and spirit of our people, to justify the restoration of the State to Us rights and powers in the general gorernment. But an effort was, nevertheless, made to quiet tho public miud by committing the party in this State, distinctly and authoritatively, upon three points, to wit: 1st. Against the purpose or desire of confiscating private property for political of fences in the present condition of affairs. 2. In favor of providing in the State Convention for the extension of the elective franchise to every white and colored man alike; 3. In favor of the removal of disabilities from true and loyal citi eens within such limits as Congress may deem safe and prudent in this State. The "committee on platform and resolutions," after full and prolonged deliberation, reported to the Convention three resolutions embodying these sentiments, and re commended their passage. But these resolutions were met by a repetition of excited and immod erate discussion, and voted down. It was un fortunate, that the motion upon which the first of the resolutions was rejected, was made, not by any native citizen of the State, white or colored, but by a prominent politician from the State of Ohio, (Col. Heaton.) The other two were re jected on the motiou of a gentleman from New York, (Col. Peck.J now resideut in Wilmington. On motion of a native of the State, by birth, but .who now is, and has been for some thirty years a resident of the city of Washington, a plan of party organization was adopted, so repugnant in its details to the customs and usages of our peo ple, and as effective in the hands of any who might seek to place our government in the hands of strangers by controlling the colored vote, that it cannot fail to excite additional alarm and dis gust. Northern gentlemen should bo encouraged to settle among us by extending to them every cour tesy and kindness, aud by discountenancing the revival of prejudices, which should never have existed, and ought now to be forgotten aud buried forever. But while our people are willing for re cent settlers among us to participate in our pub lio affairs, it is not natural that they should view with favor, the appearance, even, of an effort tu plaoo their government entirely in the hands of strangers, to the exclusion of those whoso infor mation, interests aud experience so much better fit them to understand and manage the manifold i uteres ts and exigencies connected with our pre sent unfortunate condition. It must annear to the people unkind and unjust to take advantage of mcir ucwss oouauion, Dy exciting appeals and delusive promises to the most ignorant, and most unsuspecting and docile of our population, and thus raise up enmity and autagouisin among us. ruinous to the colored man. for whose rights and welfare every good citiz n is now solicitous, and destructive of the efforts of those who are labor ing to prepare the State for a return to the Union by. bringing the popular mind in cordial unity with the great principles of the republican party. S tPet lDe people meet in their respective coun ties and districts, by their own spontaneous ac tion, and put forward their own candidates men true to the Union and trustworthy as republicans, and by supporting such, manifest to tho nation thatrin North Carolina there exists such a prevail ing sentiment of nationality and such voluntary obedience to the laws of the land, that our restor ation to rjghts and powers in the government, so far from being-dangerous to the peace and welfare of the republic, will add strength to the great edi- .fice of Union, Liberty and Equality. ; , Gzs.

Washburne details General Grant's views: lie sympathises with Congress in the reconstruction plans ; advises an early ses sion of Congress ; favored the House bill re quiring the consent of the Senate to change the District Commanders; accepted the Secretaryship of Warfrom a sense of duty, to prevent its being filled by a Johnson man.

' Correspondence or the Democrat. , New Xork, October 12, 1867. The Weather 'Democratic Skate Convention Next President SJieridan Amusing Scene at Fulton Ferry The Black Crook dec. After about a month cf pleasant weather we have had a real hard rain. We needed a light sprinkle to lay the dnst, but I do not think New Yorkers would trouble themselves much if it never really rained in the city limits, for rain makes every thing dull business in cluded and as for the few flowers they display in their miniature back-yards a little Crotoo seems to revive them. But the streets get dusty and the sprinklers are lazy, so once in a while we conclude that a shower is a real blessing. The Democratic State Convention has just closed its session at Albany. They are confident of carrying the State this Fall, and it seems probable. One thing developed by the Con vention is a unity of action when they come to the point, lion. John T Hoffman is without doubt the leading man of his party. I would not be surprised if he was the nominee for next President. II is record on all questions is good, and as a gentleman of intelligence and family without question. No one but will acknowledge that we need some such man to elevate the Prebidcntial position above the status of a Com mon School Debating Club. He is withal one of the Snest looking men I ever saw. On the other hand 1 think Chief Justice Chase will be the nominee of the Republicans. Sheridan has rather the upper hand just now, but he will fall to his level m a few days and be will be tor gotten except as a fair cavalry officer, especially when having the advantage of numbers on his side. The Sheridan reception was really a fail ure, but few, except his old officers and ex pectant Republican office-holders, attended it. The plain truth is that military heroes arc fast beepming played out at the North, and the sooner the South adopts the same idea the better. Sheridan is a creature of simply luck, and one of the best things ever done for him was by President Johnson. One of the amusing scenes which often occur in this busy city came off at Fulton Ferry a few days since. It was the nsual result of those marriages where a young and pretty poor girl marries an old but rich man. The young one not getting her heart's fill at home, got to look ing to a young "cousin" for solace, and the old gent not liking such interference with his pud ding, put a detective on the track. The end was old gent met young lovers at altoo Ferry on their way to love and happiness in Brooklyn or Cony Island, and proceeded to administer a good caning to amorous young man. The she in the meantime cried heartily, not so much we may suppose at the whipping as that all her fun was spoiled. This New "York is a great soap pot and the scum it- pretty often at the top. Such scenes, minus the whipping and catching, are not as scarce as hens teeth. The Black Crook still continues to draw crowds of students of anatomy. The new play at Banvard's the Devil's Auction is too far up town ever to have the immense run whioh has characterized the elegant display of feet, &c , at Niblo's. But if one chooses to journey to 30tb street he will get his money's worth, pro vided he isn't afraid of becoming blind. Scio. THE NEWS FROM ITALY. The temporal dominion of the Pope in Italy, which was conceded by Pepin, King of the Franks, in 754, confirmed by Charlemagne in 774, and which has beea since subject to more or less of temporal vicissitudes, appears to be again seriously threatened by the revolutionary elements which have been lately evoked by Garibaldi, and which his arrest by the Italian government, instead of weakening, seems to have intensified. If there is discontent in the capital city of Rome, it does not seem to have been yet manifested. No evidence of a local revolt has yet been given, but the movement appears to be external, though none the less dangerous on that account. It is stated that in Viterbo the authorities have not yet been able to suppress the insurrections which followed the arrest of Garibaldi, and that the northwest ern portion of the Roman territory is in the hands of the insurgents. If it be true, as an nounced in tho cable telegram of the 2d, that the commander of the forces of the Pope has called upon the Italian government for assis tance, and that this has been refused, there can be little doubt that the situation is serious; yet it can hardly be expected that it will be allowed to continue so. The Italian government may be expected to take further action, and if ne cessary, France may intervene. It was reported when Garibaldi advanced on the frontier that French soldiers were embarking for Rome, but this report was not confirmed. By the Conven tion of 1864 the Italian government agreed to suppress any invasion of the Roman territory from Italy, and France was to withdraw her forces from Rome, 'which was done in 1866, and it is contended that the spirit of this treaty will be violated if France should again under take intervention. In that event, the friendly relations of France and Italy might be inter rupted, unless the former should act with the consent of the latter. Still later cable dispathes from Italy are of an exciting description. Fighting had begun at various places, and in one engagement the x'a pal troops are said to have beeo beaten. A meeting of the friends of Garibaldi had been '.ld at Turin, and revolu tionary speeches made, and meetings at other points were projected. Trial of Jefferson Davis. The following facts relative to the coming trial of Mr Davis, are from the lst authority : The trial is set down for the fourth Monday in November, and as the Government will not inter fere, there will be no postponement by the Coun sel on either side. The offence of levying war against the United States will be testified to by Judge Scarborough of Norfolk. There will be very few, if any, witnesses for the Defence, the fact of levying war being ad: milted. The Prosecution will then proceed with the legal argument that the prisoner is gniltv of treason, and the Counsel for the Defence "will argue that being a citizen of a State and under its law 8 the prisoner's allegiance was due to it and not first to tho United States.

Worth to an interview at Columbia, 8L-C. We presame that Got. Orr, also, will be present. Amebced.- We learn that, at the term of Wake Superior Court held last week, judgment was prayed and obtained against the Sheriffs of Currituck, Cherokee and Orange, for non-settlement of taxes with the Comptroller and Treas urer, as required by law. They were mulcted in the sum of $1,000 each. These were the only delinquents. Raleigh Sentinel. A Fatal Accident. On the night of the 3d inst., Mr Daniel 8. Faggart, son of Reuben Faggart, of Cabarrus county, while out hunting with a younger brother and a small negro, fell into a gully some eight feet deep," and was killed. After the fall, the deceased rose up, spoke a few words, and then dropped dead. The physician found no bruises, or external injuries, and it is supposed the death was caused by the rupture of a blood vessel. J6Sy Rev. James Gibbons, of the Baltimore Cathedral, has been confirmed by the Pope, and will soon be consecrated as Catholic Bishop of North Carolina, a recently created Diocese. ' Broke Jail Last Wednesday evening, when the Jailor, Mr J. W. Woodward, carried supper to the prisoners, one of the negroes, confined for the robbery of J. W. Stockton's store, rushed by him down the steps and made his escape. Air Woodward pursued and locked the door, to prevent the escape of others. On Friday night last an entrance was made through the wall of the Jail, from the outside, it is supposed, aud two white men confined for horse stealing, and a negro, made their escape four in all. The pre sumption is, that the first negro who escaped, procured assistance and relumed and liberated his comrades in crime. They are all at large. StatesviVe American. Trinity College. We were glad to see Rev. Dr. Craven in our sanctum, on yesterday. He says that there are about ninety students at Trinity. He thinks they evince an unwonted devotion to study. The institution ha3 been visited recently by an outpouring of the Spirit, and most of the students are professors of Re ligion. In the Theological department, Rev. Dr. Doub has sixteen students.

DBIEJ FBUIT. A gentleman who has been traveling in Surry. Stokes and Forsyth counties, N. C. , writes to the Raleigh Sentinel as follows : "As one travels over these upper counties, nearly every woman you see is peeling fruit to dry. The children are at it. It is the currency of this section. They buy dry goods with it, as readily as they could with Greenbacks. Nearly every farm has what is called a Dry Ilouse. It is usually built of chestnut wood; a miniature log house, daubed with mud and se curely covered. Underneath is a brick or rock flue for fire, after the fashion of a kiln. Above is the hot room in which fruit is placed, on boards or trays, after being peeled and cut and sun dried for part of a day the more the better, provided you keep the flies away. Dry Houses are very numerous. Take the dried fruit business "up one side and down tother" and this section surely excels. Few places in North Carolina seems more wide awake than Salem. All is stir and business; and when this is the case, there is to be found mirth also. If you want to put a community into a good humor, and light up the countenances of the masses, give them something to do that will turn out profits. I have hoard of a man who was asked if he dealt in driet fruit, and who answered with some feeling, "no," as though it was too much on the apple-cart order for a gentleman who wore gold spectacles. But let us see: Mr E A. Vogler informs me, recently, that, up to this time, he has shipped over one hundred tons of dried fruit; and I see he is out with a circular, "Wanted to buy" one hundred thousand pounds of apples alone, to say nothing of other varieties. 1 learn that he has an order for fifty thousand pounds of ap ples from one house in the North. Sometimes he buys forty thousand pounds a day. But does it pay ? Salem would not be S.dem without E. A Vogler, and E. A. Vogler would not be E. A Vogler, but for the immense trade he does in fruit dried fruit He has out a circular, every few days, giving the "prices current." And he certainly has one of the finest business houses in this State. It has every convenience that could be desired. It is built in fine style, and was all up in some twelve or fourteen weeks from the time it was commenced The Sheriff of the county said Jast year, that he could almost tell the day Mr Vogler began to pay out money ft. fruit, for the people commen ced then to pay taxes. This year he repeats the sam assertion. Is that paying? Fruit is the main business here and every body seems to be benefitted by it. But of all the fruit establish ments Mr Vogler's is the largest. His store is like the throat of the funnel, through which most of be fruit of the region back of this runs." Repenting of tiieir Folly. The "Washing ton correspondent of the Charleston Courier writes that -the cotton tax will probably be abol ished at the next session, and there will be propo sitions in Congress to give a bounty upon the production of cotton, or iu some mode to encour age its culture. It is apprehended at the North that the tax and the uncertainty of negro labor will destroy the system of cotton growing upon large plantations, and that, if so, the product must be sensibly diminished in years to come' Counterfeit $100 Bill. We have seen, within a few days, a $100 counterfeit bill on "The Central National Bank of the City of New York." The signatures are pretty well execu ted, but the counterfeit is very palpable in the printing. We have seen no genuine bill of that Bank with which to compare it. We presume its general appearance accords with the genuine, but the eye of any one will detect its spurious character, by the error in the word "maintain" on the right edge of the bill. Instead of the word "maintain" in capitals, on the white ground on the right edge, the word in the counterfeit is spelled umainiain" the being substituted by a L There is reason to fear that this and other cunterfeit bills are being circulated in our mountain Counties in exchange for lands, beef, and medicinal roots, &c , where they are not readily detected. Raleigh Sentinel. TEMPEHAHCB . MEETING, t t G Chabxotte, N. C, Oct 5, 1867. ; A Notwithstanding the inclemency of the Weather, the Temperance meeting' advertised was held in the Court House to-day. : A large majority of those present were from the country some from a distance. The meeting was organized by calling the Rev. J. C. Chalmers to the Chair. Ret. W. O. Power was requested to act as Secretary. Rev. Dr. McPhail, President of Davidson College, one of the speakers selected, was then introducd i to the audience. In a calm, but impressive i style be delivered a short address. He stated that, at the beginning of the Temperance refor mation in this country, there were three ideas which startled the nation : First the enor mous cost of spirituous liquors consumed an nually by the people of the United States ; secondly the vast injury done to publio morals by their use, as showo by the records of the crimes committed under their influence ; and thirdly the large number of deaths which are traceable to their effects. He recollected an assertion of Gough, one of the early Temperance reformers, viz : that there was not a family in the land which had not had one or more members ruined by the use of ar dent spirits. These ideas in all their momen tous magnitude were submitted for our consid eration. Fear of tresspassing on your space, forbids a further notice of the Dr.'s remarks. When he had concluded, the following Consti tution was submitted by the Committee appointed to prepare it and as amended was adopted. A resolution was adopted requesting the dif ferent newspapers of the city to publish the pro ceedings and the accompanying Constitution. J. C. CHALMERS, Ch'n. Wm. C. Power, Sec'y. Judge Osborne, who was also expected to address us, bad not returned from bis Northern tour. Constitution of the. Mecklenburg County Tempe rance Society of North Carolina. Believing that the use of ardent spirits as a common beverage is not only unnecessary bat often hurtful, as it leads to intemperance and prodigality, with all their attendant evils, we, whose names are hereunto sub-scribed, desiring to form an association for our mutual benefit and the benefit of others, in the promotion of tempe rance, do agree to adopt the following constitution. Art. 1. This Society shall be known as "The Mecklenburg County . Temperance Society of North Carolina." Art. 2. The officers of this Society shall be, a President, two Vice Presidents, a Secretary and Treasurer, all to be elected annually. Art. 3. The above-named officer, together with three others, also to be elected annually, shall constitute the Executive committee of this Society. Art. 4. It will.be required of those who desire to become members of this Society, to adopt in good faith the following pledge, namely : Pledge. We do solemnly pledge ourselves to abstain from all distilled and other intoxica ting drinks, as a common beverage, to discourage aud discountenance the making or vending of the same, for the like purposes, and to exert our influence for the general promotion of Tempe rance and social order. Art. 5. This Society shall hold regular annual meetings on the first Saturday in October, of each year, at which meetings the Executive com mittee shall make a full report of the operations of the Society during the previous year, for the information of the Society. The Executive com mittee shall be authorized aud empowered to make arrangements for the organization of aux iliary Societies in this county, wherever aud whenever practicable; aud also for holding quar terly, or intermediate meetings, as the Society may direct. Art. 6. Members violating their pledge may bo dealt with in the following manner: 1st For the first offense, if suitable acknowledgement be made to any two members of this Society, the Executive committee, in behalf of the Society, may accept such acknowledgment as satisfactory 2d For the second offense, the offender shall be admonished by a committee of two or three ap pointed by the Executive committee, or by its chairman. 3d For the third offence, the name of the person so offending may be strioken from the roll, by a majority vote of the Executive com mittee, at their discretion. 4th If any member violating his pledges, shall deny the same, or prove refractory, it shall be the duty of the Ex ecutive committee to examine the testimony in such case or cases, and present the whole mat ter to the Society, at next regular meeting, for adjudication. Art. 7. Any member becoming dissatisfied, and wishing to withdraw from the Society and its obligations, may do so by giving notice three months previously, to the Secretary of his or her intention thus to withdraw. Art. 8. Auxiliaries formed under this Consti tution will be expected to report their operations to this Society, through its Executive committee, at its annual meetings. Art. 9. No change shall be made in this Con stitution, unless notice be given by the mover of the proposed change at a previous regular meeting and then such change to be effected only by an affirmative of two thirds of the mem bers present. -m HOUSE SERVANTS. We hear many complaints from housekeepers of the trouble necessary to obtain good, reliable servants, and when obtaioed, of the difficulty in keeping them. We respectfully suggest here to our housekeepers, that, as a body, the fault is mainly their own. and that the worry and diffi culty will always be the same as now. and per haps, sometimes more, if some regular systematic course is not adopted by them relative to the em ploy of domestics. Ever since the new order of things was first inaugurated, it has been custo mary to employ, without a reference as to pre vious good character aud ability, just inch ser vants as our housekeepers may stand in need of. If a general rule could be adopted by all of in sisting upon good recommendations from pre vious employers, and of stipulating that a month's notice should always be required on either hand before a servant should be discharged or should leave, this trouble would then be easily and en tirely obviated. Such is the system which the actual fore of just such necessity as is our own, has required other cities both to the North and to the South of us to adopt, and it is just such a system that we need here, for the purpose of reg ulating the relations between the employer and employee. It will besides work much to the ad vantage of both parties, and will, in the end. have a beneficial effect upon society itself. By it servants can be easily divided into the appro priate classes for remuneration according to ability, aud a stimulous would be given for them all to excel. We recommend to our people the adoption of some such regular method for guidance in their household regulations, confident, as we are, that it will eventually redound to the advantage of all concerned. Wilmington Post. EF Chief Justice Chase arrived at Columbus, Ohio, just before the late election, and was re ceived by the citizens of the place. Ht made a long speech in which, while stating that his po sition prevented his taking an active part in pol itics, he avowed his sympathy with the radical party, stated that he intended to rote the repub lican ticket, and declared himself in favor of ne gro suffrage ' -WASHJJJOTON ITEM8. The President has not yet considered the ap j plication for pardon of A iexauder H. Stephens, ! of Georgia:.' The papers are now on file at the luxecuuve Mansion, and will be taken. . np uy the President next week. He m strongly recom mended for Executive clemency, and there seems to be no doubt that the pardon will be issued. Sensation dispatches sent off from this city to night represent that Gen. Sherman is called here by the President to take charge of the War De partment, in place of Gen. Grant Upon the best authority I can say that the President has no such purpose as indicated in the rumor men tioned: Governor Parsons, of Alabama, is here and had an interview with the President. It is reported that the letter of Senator How ard, arguing that Senators who advise impeach ment should not be disqualified to sit in the trial, will not be published for the present. This ac tion U taken upon the advice of leading radicals and financiers, who deprecate impeachment as prejudicial to our financial affairs and injurious to the political interests of the republican party. The Radical leaders now here are boasting confidentially among their friends of the com pleteness of their plans for the future. They say General Butler has already prepared a joint resolution declaring that any officer against whom articles of impeachment shall be preferred, shall be suspended from office during trial upon the charges preferred. Immediately following the passing of this resolution articles of impeach ment will be rushed through the House under a call for the previous question, and Mr Wade will be sworn into office as Acting President of the United States. Your correspondent inquired of one of these gentlemen how they proposed se curing to Mr Wade the Presidential chair after he had been sworn in at the Capitol. On that point he said there was some doubt, as General Grant had given them no assurances as to which of the two Presidents he would recognize; but, in the event of a refusal on his part to espouse their cause, they bad the militia of the Northern States to fall back upon, as well as their own powerful organization, the Grand Army of the Republic, a large portion of which will he found in Washington. I suggested that the success of the Conservatives in the Fall elections would probably cause a change in their programme. He replied, "No, it will only necessitate the greater firmness and quicker action." He also remarked that it was believed Mr Johnson would resist, but that the little power of resistance which had been left him by Congress would not be difficult to overcome. This is mere sensation talk. m- i Cotton Crop of 1867. It may be interesting to know what estimates have been made by in telligent parties of the growing crop of cotton of the present year. We learn from the New Or leans Price Current that the prevailing impres sions in the cotton circles of that mart is that the crop will be from two to two and a-half millions of bales. Both factors and buyers, who wish to be regarded as moderate in their views, le in to the average of two and a quarter millions. The firm believers in the ravages of the worms, as well on the uplands as in the delta of the Mis sissippi, regard two millions as an extreme out side rate; while there are those, on the other hand, who are sanguine to put the crop at three millions. Making allowances for the diversity of temperament among the estimate-makers, we incline to the opinion that the crop cannot ex ceed two and a-quartei millions, and this would be nearly 480,000 bales more than the crop of last year. We do not give these figures as placing any great reliance upon them, for it is obviously too soon, to enable any man to make more than a proximate estimate. There can be little doubt, however, that it will exceed the crop of last year; which was hard upon twp millions of bales. If the estimates of the Statistical Bureau at Washington are correct the crop will not exceed last year's NEW FALL AND WINTER GOODS. We have the pleasure of inviting our friends, and the public generally, to see the largest and beet se lected Stock of Goods ever brought to this market. Our stock of Ladies Dress Goods, Cloaks, Shawls, Balmoral Skirts, &c, is particularly attractive for style, variety and price. We have also a large stock of Ready-made Clothing, Boots, SHOES, HATS, CAPS, BLANKETS, FLANNELS, Jeans, Satinetts, Broad Cloths, Prints, bleached and brown Sheeting and Shirting, and a general variety of Goods of every kind. We direct the special attention of cash Wholesale Buyers to our new Stock. We are determined not to be undersold. BREM, BROWN & CO.
