fir out ripped a 1 their competitors who arrived
it i lie (same time with them and entered the
market Son equal terms, jind now this enterpri-
sin- firm stands at the very head of bur mer
mntile Community. J From apparent indications
i heir business is to-day greater than ever. The
secret of this remarkable success is readily dls
covered; The first number of The Herald is
sued containel an advertisement of this firm
covering two coluisiis, andinstead of relaxing
this feature of enterprise, or wearying of it,
ilipy hive rather increased, . Without referring
i.K-oiir books, we state at an estimate ihat Cut-j-i-
French have paid us within: (his time
nearly itwo thousand dollars for advertising.
Of "Course with such a liberal outlay they may
expect liberal returns, and we are glad to notice
their prosperity. It was teorge-D. Prentice,
we b-l(ove, w ho made use of the remark to i
friend,!' never .buy goods of those who do not
aiverti?K . 'l'hcy sell so little that they have to

As a general rule the columns of
the principal newspaper of a town are a, sure
indication of the enterprise ot. its people and
their prosperity, And. they who advertise most
leeH' ; secure tfie most liberal custom. And
further,! where the majority trade the minority
will Moii follow. : - . .

. - for the Rebels." .
Gcrrit Smith thb mad abolitionist, hy n
vifation of a number of citizens of diflerent
parties, delivered an address upon the treat
ment of he conquered rebels at the Cooper
Institute,1 New York, on Thursday; evening
of last weekV There was a lare attend-
ance. , '- -;. .
Mr. Smith was received with cheers. lie
coinmedcfd by saying that the South, in ori
ginating this civil war, had committed the
great crime of the age. And those persons
i n ' the North who w v re calling for vengeance
upon' the rebels were committing the mean
crime -cftthe age.- (Chers) To this he
should1 oppose his voice. Ile insisted that tho
South houtd not be'punished forher : rebel-
lion Punishment would not makelthe North
any more secure than she is. We-agreed
with the, South." to conduct this w ar according
to the rules of war AVe accorded to the j
South belligerent right, "which were confirm
ed by the Supreme Court. We lmve treated
Southern captives as -prisoners of" war. We.
have exchanged prisoners w.Kh the enemy '
We have made innumerabjatruces with them.
Tbere have been formal ahd informal nego
tiations for peace between the North and the
South. The Presidentand Secretary of State
once acted as peace commissioners, going,
more t tan half way to meet the commissio
ers of . the South. Alt this end much more,
iecluding the blockade 6f the Southern ports,
shows that we are" bound by onr agreement
to treat prisoners always as prisoners of -war.
(Chfers.) We made this agreement with the
Soiifchbecause the laws of war required it.
Mr. Smfth read from battel to prove that the
combattants in a civU war are bouod by the
snme rules of war a 3 foreign powers. The
Southern half of this nation broke off and
becarae.a aation de faclo as much as ours,-
Each had all the machinery of a national gb
vernmeni. Vatlel could not have stated the
case more clearly if he had had oar civil war
in his mind. If. bis doctrine was accepted
100 years ago; should it not be now, in this
arrC of greater enlightenment? (Applause)
Ilallam; the historian, takes the ground that
the rivil war. in. England, ending in ihe death
of Charles the First! IsriduTu-iaKbeen con
ducted accordingtfo the laws of war! an
king's life should have i been spared. ; The
speaker read from IlalLihi Jlistory . upon
tis point, in which he distinctly declares
that thefvanquished in a civil war are to be
treated in accordance with national, not mu
nicipal, law. Macaulajr also declared, himself
of the same opinion as Ilallam.- MsSmitH
