All Job Work Cash on Delivery. - Vegetables,are needed at the Hospital -let our benevolent citizens see to it that the sick and infirm soldiers suffer no. for a few Tege tables . What is the matter with our Jalappa sub scribers ? nine out of ten complain weekly of not gittidg the paper, when it is regularly sent. It is very unpleasant, and we are almost tempted to go up there and straighten the settlement. Fan cy the printer's feelings, friends, and settle upon some careful person to take charge of the pack age, or, or, 'by the heavens that's above us all, we'll 'trash somebody for dat' yet. With this No., June 21, Closes the term foi- which many of our readers subscribed to the Herald, consequently this will be the last papet they will receive, unless their subscription is renewed: Our terms are strictly in advance, and ee wish it understood that the paper cann^ot be sent 'ut unless paid for, no mat ter how good the part.y is, or how able to pay at remote periods. The cash system is the b'est, and the only system by which a newspaper can be sustained, and we beg our friends if they wish to continue to bea,r this. in mind; that all names will be stricken out as the time expires, without respect to individuals. The cross mark shoirs when the subscription expires. In inswer to correspondents as to what the terms are, we respectfully inform them' that. for $1 1 specie, or $1.56 in provisions, .(at market prices)such as corn,flour and meat, &c-,paid in ad vance, they will receive the paper for the text eix months, not 'otherwise' Subscriptions receiv ed'for three months.

SIDI H.' BROWN*E, P. E. A Detachment of the 9th Ohio Troop~s ?Arrived here on,Sunday afternoon, and no lit tle stir was exhibited by the colored populati9n, who swarmed these visitors like bees aro-und a gum. Their reception was cool and threw. a damper on their feelings, water being squirted en them by the 9th, OhiQ, and other indignities. Satisfied with this the crowd dispersed. The de tachment consisted of 15 riein under command * ~ of a lieutenant, and were senti here as a guard to conduct specie deposited in the bank -of New: berry to Chester. 'Tiey left on Monday morn ing. Immense, quantities Qf cotton, rosin and other native staples have made their appearance in the . streets .of Wilmington, N. C., since the issuance of the President's proclamation remQving re strictio'ns on trade, and been conveyed to the warehouscs for shipment North. One of the pa pers of that city says That the people are .con founded by these mysterious apparitions of dhe rawr materials in their midst ; -but nobody ap pears abje, or willing, to tell where ~ey come from. A formal'demiand has been made upon the bSpanish government for tbc surrender of the ram Stonewall.' -The Supreme Court of the district of Column bia has adjourned. The trial of Mr. Davis will be postponed uptil September. A pplication will be made to the next session of the U. S. Congress for a grant of iand for a colo *ny of about 20,000 poles. Gen. Kirb?y Smith has departed for france via Mexico. The war correspondence- of the N. Y. Herald during the war cost half a million of dollars. The States of North Carolina, South Carolina and Mississippi have been divided into internal revenue districts by the Secretary of the Treasu - -ry, and appointments .of collectors for some of these localities have already been.made by the President. Gen. Ortega has received such an immense Sresponse to his Mexican enligraticn scheme that he appears to be bothered as to the means by which be can get them 1oaMexico. There are 751 lager beer saloons in Cinci * natti and suburbs.-. War has broken out in Central America--the Trh'y.eM ofSan anh adaor is under siee. Facronize a Free ;apc--Orat Eterrise. It Wil interest our-readers to know that as soon as the necessary arrangements can be made, we will crmence the publication of a large,.FREE Weekly paper, in the hope to meet the demand constantly made upo> us, for a paper that costs nothing, end that subscribers to our PAYING paper will have the satisfaction of reading and keeping theirs, and also that having -regular pa trons to'our Free paper, we can by mailing it, save the subscriber the necessity of continually asking for one, which must be mortifying. It will be a saving too of much valuable time,which the patron will appreciate.' Our time and patience is not thought of for a moment. Its a great pleas. ure to be generous and free to a whole-souled; hearty, 'round-faced farmer, :cho bonhces in with a double chin, whistling perhaps, because his stomach is happily filled, and in the best of goGd humors asks 'for an old, paper with the latest news, that is, one you've done reading." Wlr,? modesty, and how considerate,.an 'old paper,' dI ready read. Again we have complaints that cr tain sections receive not a sirgle paper, 'and f$r themselves would like to have the news; havr' seen a paper in a month.' Well, its our business to supply that man, or. such meu, with a free p per, and we'll do it, of course. Happy inn. cence ! tiey believe that a printer lives on his imagination, his neighbor's gas, on air, or any thing else than bread aiid meat, that labor i; sweet and a rare pleasure, and 'that it is so easy to-print.' Who could colscientiously dispel sue} a delusion by clarging such a maD for a jtaper Not we,no never. So we'll do it, if wn break trace, that'is when the necessary arrangement 're made. It is hoped that our paying subscri bers will renew promptly, and aid us iri so iuda ble an undertaking, and they must when told fo; a fact that there are a few who are entirely a their ne;ghbor's mercy, and who never in theil life offered the indignity of paying a printer fo his paper. Valuable prizes will be given as an inducemeir to get up a largosubscription list, and-every nnm ber will contain a fuH-sized engraving of the mos notabhe of the class who rcad a free paper.
