No club received for less than a year, and in all cases the cash will be required in advance.

We would direct the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Messrs. Harral, Risley, & Co., wholesale druggists, New York,--an old and deservedly popular Southern Drug House. The senior partners, will be remembered as having conducted the business of Haviland & Co., in Charleston and Augusta, for many years.

A telegraph office has been established at the Quitman depot, and Mr. Haines, of Augusta, has been assigned as operator. This will be a great convenience to business men, and Mr. Haines will be found an intellignet and accommodating gentleman, constantly at his post, and ready to serve the public.

We direct special attention to the U.S. Tax notice from H. F. Mabbett, Esq. Twenty days are allowed the people in which they must settle the small amounts due the government; and all who fail to comply will be dealt with as the law directs--which is to add a certain per cent to the tax. Our people therefore, will serve their own interest to be prompt in paying Collector Mabbett a visit.

Capt. James L. Moseley, the General Agaent of the Banner, strayed off from Quitman a few days ago, and by a correspondece published elsewhere, it will be seen that he has turned up in the city of New York. When he left here he was sorely afflicted with the "Honduras fever", but it is now evident that that affliction has been superceded by a violent "Steamboat" and "Hotel" fever. We hope the Captain may have a "gay time" in the "fast city" and return with a princely revenue for the Banner.

The editor of the Brunswick Courier says that starvation has not yet enterd his house, but is standing at his door, and asks his patrons to furnish him provisions in lieu of money....(remainder illegible)

Good News--As an evidence of the condition of the corn crop in Perry, Hale and Marengo counties, in Alabama, the Selma Messenger says a gentleman living in the vicinity of Nowber, Hale county, offers his entire corn crop, for sale at 35 cents per bushel in the field. The Messenger understands that any quantity of corn can be engaged in the cane brake region at 50 cents per bushel.
