Ratliffe had a new advertisement, which'he didn't see till a week later. This omis sion, he says, might have resulted dis astrously to bim, in which case lie1 would have held us for pecuniary dam ages. Weadmit Jiatif many repetitions of this occur the Colonel's life-long ambition to die poor will moro than likely be realized, but we shall bend every energy to give him his paper regularly hereafter. He will see their new advertisement in another column this week. - ? Harris-Bridge Letter.
