We are indebted to Peterson Thwcatt. Esq.,
the intelligent and indefatigable Comptroller
General of the State, for a full abstract of the
one hundred and eighteen Tax Digests return

tables, marked A. I>. C ami I>. and shows at a
glance, the amount ami value of every item of
property, and every fiam iii-e. upon which a
tax i> paid, in every county in the State, be
sides many other things interesting to those
who take a pride in watching the rapid pro
gress of our noble State in all the elements of
greatness and of wealth. The preparation of
surh an abstract requires much time, patience,
industry ami intelligence, and much credit is
due to Mr. Thwcatt. for the manner in which
he has performed thu -eh-imposed task, for it

from the Report of 1K57, in relation to the
creased and increasing State revenue :
“From a glance at the tax digests, I find that
the increased return of 1855 over 1854 was

it is recollected that there is not more than one

REPORT OF THE MOUNT VERNON ASSOCIATION,
FOR SEPTEMBER, 1857.
In presenting the report of the Association •
for the month of Septeinlwr, there is but little
of actual vii’ort to be added to that which has
Itevli already repoltv<l.
The absence from home of nearly all who
haw been earnestly engaged in the advance
ment o; the cause, ami the consequent impos
sibility oi extraordinary or concerted effort
among the friends of the Association, are suf
ficient to t xplain this apparent inaction.
\\ ilii 1 ii< disadvantages, however, there is
a brightening prospect ahead, and the strong
est ground for believing that a new ami fervent
interest is being aroused throughout all the
Southern States, which must speedily eml in
the consummation of the purposes of the As
sociation.
PiitHxylranw.— Assurances have been re
ceived from Phila«klphi.-L that an interest is
manifcste'l in that city by some of her most
distinguidied citizens, whose co-operation in
aid of purcha>ing Mount Vernon can be relied
upon.
North t uroliua.— There are cheering re
turns from the old North State. From ten
counties the sum of $2,436 56 has been report
ed. Efforts will be renewed to canvass every
county ; and if the friends of the Association
exhibit hereafter the SiUiic spirit they have al
ready manifested, a noble addition to the filial
may be expected.
South Carolina, — Charleston has added to
her already liberal contributions. $306
Os which there were received from Irish
Volunteers, commanded by Captain
Magrath. 101
This is the third Military Company in
Charleston that has responded to the
call of patriotism.

the < hargv of Mr. Brun, have con
tributed 127

titoryin'— The Empire State of the South
Hr-t ra’.*u<l her standard in the cause, ami has
continued her efforts w ith unremittvd zeal.—
Among the laborers w it bin her border, the first
and torvmo’t in point of results, is the Savan
nah Association. I lie Ladk-s of Savannah ,
have taken thu matter in hand, with an enthu
siasm. which, aided by their business tact, has
fully sustained their name for liberality and pa
triotism,
Mrs. Grant has reported the colk< tion received -
at a meeting of the Savannah Association,
on the 20th February, 1*54, $1,308 00
From the Liberty Association, 118 2<s
$1,426 2*
Alabama. — The signs arc promising in this
State. Madame Lc \ci t, of Mobile, a lady 1
whose genius and social accomplishments have ■
made her name familiar on both sides of the
Atlantic, is devoting herself to the cause, ami
under such auspices, with the eloquent Yancey
in the lead, there cannot be such a word a*
Madame Lc Vert has determined to contrib
ute a per «village of the sale of her work, ■"Sou
venir-* of Travel,” to thu Mount Vernon fund,
a fact whii h the womanly delicacy of her na
iuru prevented her from making known, but
which ha* transpired through the intervention
of hurfriemls, who desired the public benefit
of her example.
Mr. Evuiutt has accepted an invitation to de
liver his address in November, during the State
Agricultural Fair at Montgomery, and also at
Mobile.
The Association acknowledges through Mrs.
Eve. of Augusta, Ga., a contribution from the
La<Hus of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, of one hun
dred dollar*.
Mixxix*.; pi.— The organization of this State (
is uommuiiuud under circumstances w hich give 1
an earnest materia of aid.
Mr. (oorge Gurger, of Jackscuiville, ha* been
appointed Knight of the Order of Mount Ver
non. ami Treasurer of the State.
Calijornia.— ln San Francisco, an appeal for
thu Mount \ union A**o< iation has been madu.
ami there is no reason to doubt a speedy and »
satisfactory response.
Mitatouri.— During thu summer interregnum
there ha* been, in a great measure, a suspen- ,
sioii of effort, but in October there will here- |
nuwed ami unite<l exertions in behalf of the
cause. Ai the Agricultural State Exhibition. |
at St. Loiii*. a Fair will be held by the L:ulies.
in aid of the funds of thu Association, and the
result of tlic friend* of the enterprise on this
oc< usion will be hereafter reported.
Kthturkii. — Mrs. Dr. IFiulmrdson. of Louis- ’
v ilk-. Im* bueii appointed Vice President for
this State, and a speedy organization is antici
pated.
i\ now' .— At Nashville, collectors have
been appointed in each ward, ami Mrs. Fran
cos Bmdy Fogg report* the partial rveeipts,
from two ward*, of two hundred dollars.

Preparation* arc in progru*s for concerted ac-
tion in buhalt of the Mount Vernon purchase,
during the exhibition of the Agricultural Fair,
when Mr. Everett has been invited to visit
Richmond, uud repeat bis oration on Watdiing
-1 ton.
An opportunity will thus l»e given totbecit
' izciis of the State to hear this matchless ora-
I t<»r and patriot, and it is confidently hojied that
they will embrace it, and by the munificence
• of their offering, secure Mount Vernon, ami
place Virginia w here she should ever be. fore-
' most in all that is noble, generous and patri
’ otic.
The time for a general and united action ha*
• come, ami the evidences are that on the 22ud
I February next, Mount Vernon will be trans*
• ferred to the charge of Virginia. It only re
-1 quires a little effort, a little exercise of self-de
nial, presentation of the object* and
claims of the Association, to carry them out
L speedily and successfully.
• In every county of every State, there arc
men and women, who are willing and anxious
to add their amount of labor and money to the
cause, and who are deterred from manifesting
their interest by fear of failure or indisposi
tion to take part in any public proceeding. Os
failure there need be no fear. The accom
plishment of the purposes ofthe Association is
inevitable, and the only question is one of time.
Long ago the tomb of Washington should have
been a national shrine, and longer delay in its
purchase would cast a deep and lasting stigma
upon our day and generation. Let those who
have heretofore withheld their contributions,
ami been idler*in the cause, come forward now
and help the Association to complete, at an
uarly day, its holy and patriotic labor*. All
that is asked is, that the people of thu kind will
carry out their own wishes, and do what they
themselves desire. If this wers done. Mount
Vernon could be purdias<*<i at once.

ADVICE TO THE COTTON PLANTER.
The last number of the “Cotton Planter”
says of the times that be. as follow s :
“This commercial difficulty, in the produc
tion of which you have had no agency what
ever, has not only in a few w eek’s time redm -
ed the price of your cotton from 16 cents to
6 or 8 cents cents per pound, but it has forced
the banks of the w hole country to suspend spe
cie payments, ami if forced into market in any
great quantity, could not be sold at any price.
There has been doubtless at the North ami
North-w est, w here this thing had its origin,
just cause for it. among the fancy sto< k-job
bersand wildland sjieculators ; but here at the
South there has been no legitimate cause for
such overwhelming disaster in the commercial
affairs of the country. With us. in the plant
ation States, it is the result entirely of a lossof
confidence, and our Banks have therefore acted
wisely in the policy of a general suspension—
not that any right minded num could for a mo
ment justify bank suspension in the abstract. — j
Wlrnt then is the propur policy for you to pur
sue. w ith regard to your cotton, which is an ab
solute nereMity for the well doing of all thu in
dustrial pursuits of the civilized world Mani
festly to fomptml its further sale for the present.
It is worth, as shown by the Livurp<M»l quota
tions. a price, in money, that w ill c<»nq»ensatc
you handsomely for the labor and painstaking
cxpcmleil in its pnaluction and preparation for
market. Withhold it then, every bale, from
sale tor 60 days or less perhaps, ami it must
necessarily command it* proper valuation in
money, in the markets of the country. This
is all you w ant, its fair and proper value in mo
ney—this is but your right and nothing less ;
if you w ill, you may have it. But you must
exercise, as planters, a community of action,
uniform, prompt, energetic and <ktermim*<l,
without fear or faltering—because you have
nought to fear. Your cotton is. as ln*fore said,
an absolute necessity, not merely affording the
raw material for manufacturers, or the fabric
for the necessary wear of civilization, but the
daily bread of millions is alone dependent on
the spec<ly going forward of your cotton. Be
firm then ; you have but to make a manly .stand
and demand a fair price for your cotton t » get
it. I shall not presume to dictate to you w hat
w e w ould a*k in so many cents per pound, but
this 1 tell you, the Liverpool quotation* to-day
(and they are irant to rate hm. eMprrially irhen
the >v'ale oj prietn ntuod udrtrMt to mt.') war
rant 14 to 15 cents in our seaport market*
Stand then square up to your interest now. a<
true men and wise men. and by the first day of
January all w ill be right again—the market ac
tive and the price fully remunerative.”

ANDREW JOHNSON. OF TENNESSEE.
We see it stated in the Greenville “Patriot,”
that this distinguished gentleman, recently
elected united United States Senator from Ten
nessee, w as. 30 years ago, a journeyman tailor,
at Laurens Court House, in this State, ami. at
18 years of age, could neither read nor write.
During bis sojourn at Laurciisville, a* the Pa
triot says, Mr. Johnson tells it himself, be be
came enamoured of a ilamsel of that region,
and a victim of the tender passion. The feel
ing was reciprocal, but mama, a dameof strong
I will and towering temper, repulsed with heart
less abuse Johnson's petition and prayer for
the daughter's hand. “You tripling, worth
less vagabond.” said the pugnacious mother,
“do you suppose I am going to let my daugh
ter marry a w andering journeyman tailor f I
know w hat you w ant—you arc too lazy to work
and you want my property.” The old lady
had four children ami three negroes.
With disap[»ointed ami withered affections,
■lohnson. on foot, travelled to Greenville, Ten
nessee. where he opone<l a tailor's shop and
joined a debating society. In a few years he
rose to a seat in the Legislature, and then to
the position of Representative in Congress,
w hich |M»*t he occupied for some time. Not
long smec he filled the (iubernatorial chair of
I Tenn essee, and has recently been elected Unit
ed Slates Senator. Truly a remarkable man,
if the above. be fact*, of which we suppose there
I cft’i be but little doubt. What a luminous ami
ririking commentary u|>on the superiority and
‘ moral grandeur of Republican principles and
! form of government!
“Honor and fame from no condition rise.
> I Act well your part -there all the honor lie*.”
MACON, GA., Tlll KSDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1857.
NOTICES OF THE PRESB
We copy from our exchanges the following
, comments:
The “State Press.”.—Our new cotempora
•ry came to hand J Ast Thursday morning. Il
style of typography is unexceptionable, the se
lection judicious, and the editorial fluent, grace
ful ami pointed. The political press in Ma
con now stands numencally nt a counter
balance, and besides these tour political papers,
the Teiugraph office itself semis forth four oth
er serials—so that Macon is well represented in
pcrioflicals. May they all flourish like green
bay trees.— Telegraph.
The “State Press.” —This i* the title of a
new Democratic paper just started at Macon,
the first number of which is lieforc us. It is
c«litu<l by E. U. A. M. Row land, is a large
ami handsome sheet, well printed, ami conduct
ed—we Would say judging from the number
before us—w ith commendable spirit and ability.
It is understood that the Press is to he the
organ of one side of a new order of political
alignment that is likely to obtain in our State,
and at an early day. We have recci veil this
suggestion from Democrats themselves, and
the fact of its establishment at Ma<*on, where
the Democratic party has already an energetic
ami efficient newspaper representative, would
seem to give assunuicv on this biibject. Some
thing is to be dime that could not be accom
plished through the Telegraph, the present or
gan of the Democracy ; hence the propriety
and necessity of a new paper.
The Press bills fair to be thoroughly, if not
ultra Sonthern Rights in its political sentiments
ami policy as a few extracts will indicate.
♦*♦♦* * * * ♦
We have devote<l so much of onr spare to
the Press from the fact that it is not the mere .
mouth piece of any particular individual, but
the representative of a political line, ami as
such, destined to art a prominent part in the
future politics of our State.— Sar. Rep.
The SorTHEitx Citizen and the State
Press. —We have received the first numbers of
ea<h ofthe above papers, the first published
in Knoxville Tenn., and edited by John Mitch
ell. the latter in the city of Maron, w ith Messrs.
A. M. & E. C. Rowland as editors.
Both papers are handsomely gotten up. ami
we were pleased to learn, started w ith flatter
ing prospects of success.
It is needless for us to say anything as to the
<-ap:i< ity of John Mitchell for the business in
which he has engaged, his past efforts having
justly earned for him h high position a* a w riter
of great force am I brilliancy. Os Mr. Rowland,
we have already spoken in a previous notice,
and the cuntents of the first number of the
! “State Press” more than warrant all we might
say in his behalf.
The |M>liticsof both papers are of the “South
ern Rights” school, as may lie seen by an extract
from tlie “ State Press” which defines the po- ,
sition of both.
Wu are more than rejoiced to welcome into
the ranks of the fraternity, two such papers as
the “Southern Citizen” ami “State Press.” and
hope they will meet the most liberal encourage
ment and support from the people of the re
spective States in which thuy are published,
and from the whole South.—•**//'. tieuryian,

which have been established within the last
six months. No profession, now’ a-day, opens I
u wider field for the employment of talents and
education. The “ State Press” fc* the title of
a new journal, the first number of which was
issued at Macon, Georgia, on the 22d instant,
under the management ami control of E. A
A. M. Rowland —devoted to the advocacy of
the policy ami measures of the Democratic
party. It will lie its “leading object to be
come a decided Southern Statc-Riglits organ—
“a sentinel ever on the alert, to sound the
alarm to the people, when the honor of the
South is inqH'iwhcd. her interests violated, her
institutions assailed, or her rights inva<h‘<l.
whether by enemies at home or abroad.” The
e<litorials in the first issue come up fully to the
“lofty phrase of the manifesto.”— Richmond
South.
State Press.—This new paper at Macon,
( ia., has made its appearance in a very large
sheet, attesting the industry and talents of the
Messrs. Rowland. Editors mid Proprietors for
merly of this city. Wishing the State Pretut n
patn»nage commensurate with the wishes ami
I worth of its proprietors, we hope that many
* of their friends and acquaintances in Montgom
’ ery will subseril»e to it.— Montgomery Adcer
tieer.
How to make Vinegar.—Mix a gallon of
molasse* with a barrel of cider, warm it in a
large kettle, then put the mixture in a barrel
’ with a few sheets of brown pajier. Keep it in
I a w arm place, w ith the bung open, through
I which a stick is inserted for stirring it, to break
I the scum and admit the air. The vinegar may ,
l»e drawn as needed, and its pla<M* supplied by
cider, which, in its turn, w ill lie converted intu ,

THE GREAT RACE TN ENGLAND TRIUMPH OF
PRIORESS.
ft was announced by telegraph yesterday,
that at the Newmarket race in England, the
Ce*arew itch stakes, worth $20,000, were won
in gallant style by the American mare Prioress
over thirty competitors. Very heavy betshad
been made against her previous to the day of
contest. The w ell know n horse Lecompte, al
so the property of Mr. Ten Broerk, died sud
denly of colic. Pryor has been ruled off from
all his engagements for the season. Thu Eng
lish papers have the following account of the
race :
T he flag w as dropped to a beautiful start. —
Dusty Miller bore his colors to the front, with
Queen Buss. Cerva. M. Dubier, and the Plush
colt following marly in the order named : Odd
T rick. Fright. Emulator. Zigzag. Warl<»ck, Pri
oress ami Poodle laying in Hie middle of the
rm k. T hese positions were unchanged until
reaching the Ditch, w hen Cerva rushed to the
front, Queen Bess being in close attendance up
on her, with Odd T'riuk third; Emulator, El Ha
kim. Prioress, Fright. Zigzag, Warlock ami the
Plush colt forming the next lot.
At the Bushes the pace l»egan to tell, and
Warlock. Plush Colt and Poodlcdropped back,
ami Cerva resigned the lead to Queen Bess.—
As they descended the hill. Odd Trick, Emula
tor ami Zigzag, also disappeared from the front.
On approaching the cords. Queen Bess, w ith
El Hakim at her neck, still held a slight lead,
w ith Prioress running by herself, on the far
side third ; Fright. Zigzag. Warliwk and Em
ulator showing in front ot the ruck. One of
the most exciting Cc*»arewitch finishes ever
seen then ensued. Prioress, half way up the
coni s, seemed to be about coming in alone, but
the tiny jockeys of El Hakim and Queen Bess
made a determined set-to, and the judge unable
to separate the first three, pronounced a dead
head with Prioress. Queen (less and El Hakim.
Fright was next about a length and a half be
hind them ; Zigzag was fifth, about a length in
advance of Warlock, who was sixth, ami Mar
tinet seventh ; Emulator and Sauntercr headed
the next lot that struggled in. In the extreme
rear, pulled up. were St. (tiles. Wild Honey,
Poodle. Fisherman. Black Tommy ami the
Poacher.
Dei hum; Heat.—Mr. R. Ten Broerk'* Prio
res*. by Sovereign, (bred in America,) 4 years,
6st 91b.. (Fordham.) 1 ; Capt. Smith's El Ha
kim. 3 years. 6st Dili., (Bray,) 2 ; Mr. Saxton's
Queen Bess, 3 years. 4st l()lb., (Grimsby.) 3.
Betting—s to 4 against El Hakim; 2 to 1
against Prioress, ami 3 to 1 against Queen Bess.
The “heat” was run after the last race, in n
deepening twilight, w hich rendered it impossi
ble to distinguish the colors of the riders at a
distance. El Hakim was first oft’ but after go
ingahoiitsoyards, Priorcs*overpowering Ford
ham, rushed to the front and carried on the
running to the Ditch Gap, where she wa* pull
ed back ami lay about three lengths in the rear,
(picen Bess going on with the lead, closely at
tended by El Hakim. On coming down the
Bushes Hill. Prioress hung to the left, ami a
shout was raise ! of “The American's beaten!”
but Fordham roused the mare with his whip,
ami before reaching the foot of the hill she
bore her colors in advance, ami quitting her
opponents half w ay up the cords, won uluvuriy
by a length ami a half; El Hakim beating
(Juvcn Bess by a head only tor second place.—
A loud ami prolonged cheer hailed the triumph
of thu American colors, and Mr. Ten Broeck
was warmly congratulated upon the first vic
tory achieved by him in England.
THE STOCK OF COTTON IN LIVERPOOL
From the circular of Messrs. Herman, (’ox
A (’<».. dated at Liverpool. (Ictober 9th, the Sa
vannah Republican learns that the stock of all
kinds of American Cotton on hand that day
was 170.340 bales. The spinners may have
had fifty thousand more, and the export* from
all United Status ports from September Ist
to the 20th inst.. was 53.114 hales. Some of
thu shipments since Ist Suptemlier may be in
cluded in the stock on hand, but not enough
to make any material difference. This stiwk
cannot be increased by shipments from here
under six weeks, and the stock thuy now have
on hand may be estimated at 278,454 bale*, for
eight w ecks consumption. Wu say eight weeks,
a* it is fair to suppose all our present shipments
w ill be there in that time.
We learn from the same circular that the
forty weeks ending the Bth inst., 1,151,550
bales had been consumed, an average of 28.788
bales a week, which in eight weeks would
amount to 230,300 bales, leaving a stock on
hand in Liverpool, on the 4th of lleeembcr, of
48.000 bales—that is. provided thu spinners
have the 50,000 bales allowed them.
UNITED STATES TREASURER S STATEMENT.
According to the Treasurer's statement, the
amount credited to thu Treasury of thu United
Status, in the hands of thu assistant treasurer*
and designated depositaries, ami in the mint
and branches, by returns received to the 19th
instant, and the amount at that date subject
to draft, is a* follow s :
Amount In different depositaries - • $13,.’»23,945 50
Drafts drawn but not paid - - - 2,H91,559 61

Amount in the I’. S. Treasury Washing-
ton, D. C. 366,86* 5*
Transfers ordered to Washington - - 515,001 00
The rci-eipts into thu Treasury during thu
last week w ere but little over S4OO 000. The
great decrease is owing mainly to the *i:.Ml ’•»»».
portations consequent u|mhi the financial .*r*.-is,
and to the limited sale of public lands owing
to thu same cause.
NATIONAL BANK.
The National Intelligencer continues its ex
ploration of the causes of the financial evils
afflicting our country, finds them to lie in fm-t
that “our currency” “ Ims j>eri*hed.” *»»»d at
the end of a two-column-and-a-half editorial,
says that “a national Bank would afford the
speediest, surest, safest, ami wisest remedy.”
Wu cannot |»ossibly agree w ith our eotem
porary. says the Boston Post, in the idea that
••our currency” “has purishuil.” Our legal
constitutional currency, we suppose, is our
hard money. *• No state shall make anything
but gobi and silver coin a tender in payment
of debts,” the Constitution says. This sort of
currency has not puii*hcd’—it still lives, iloing
it* work nobly, amidst the w reck of paper is
sues and the crash of expanded cru<!it.
Let us see the extent of the damage before
we venture t<n> confidently on the work of re
form. Let us wait.
A woman's life w as curiously presurv<*d
by her husbaml. in Staffordshire latidy, by the
process of transfusion. She lay at the ]M»iut of
death, w hen. as a hist resource, a vein w asoiien
ud in her arm. and one in the arm of her hus
band. ami as the blood flowed from the latter,
it was transmitted by suitable apparatus in the
veins of the wife. After seventeen ounces had
been thus injected, the pulse became percepti
ble, and the colorless lips reddened, the glassy
eye brightened, and she thankfully said. “I am
better.' The case ha* progressed very favora
bly, ami the woman is recovering.
Homebody in the Boston Post says that times
are improving, and men are getting on their
leg* again, having given up carriages and taken
to w alking.
A Recbtpt worth One Thousand Dollars
—Take one pound of soda, and a half pound
of unslacked lin?e, put them in a gallon of wa- i
ter. and let them boil twenty minutes; let it '
stand till cool ; then drain off, and put in a I
stone jug or jar. Soak your dirty clothes over •
night, or until they are wet through : then ring i
' them out and rub on plenty of soad, and in one 1
boiler of clothes well covered with w aler, add ;
one tuaspoonfid of the washing fluid. Boil i
' tijf an hour briskly, then wash them tlior
onghly through one suds, ami rince through i
two w aters, nm! j our <4otlies w ill look butter
than the old way' of wojiiiig twice before
boiling. This receipt is invaluable, and every
poor tired woman should try it. With a pa
tent tub to do the little rubbing, the washer
woman might take the last novel and compose
herself on the lounge, mid let the washing do *
itself. •

THE STATE PRESS,
PUBLISHED, AT JIACOX, «A.
I PROPOSE publishing in the city of Macon n !
newspaper bearing the above title,’the first num- J
her of which will tie issued as early us practicable in ,
October (1*57 >. For the present it will be a weekly
|>aper, but will be converted into a daily or tri-wcek
y as soon a* the encouragement warrant* it.
Believing that Macon, m view of it* increasing bu- '
nines** and its central location w ith Railroads radia
ting in every direction, is a suitable point for estab- 1
fishing a new paper, I embark in this enterprise with |
every confidence of success, and will strive by mak
ing " Tht State Peegn" worthy of patronage, to secure
for it both a local support and a general circulation.
And in order to accomplish this object no effort will
• be spared to render it in all respect* a valuable Fami
ly Journal—complete in its news, literary and politi
cal departments—useful and interesting alike to the
Planter, the .Merchant, the .Mechanic and all other
classes of our population a paper thoroughly identi- '
tied with whatever concerns the weal or woe of (Jeor- !
gia. and one which I hope to make acceptable tu the
citizen* of the State.
In polities The State /*/-<>« will belong to the South- •
ern Hights Democratic sclihool. While I am in fa- i
vor of the preservation of the t'nion on the basis of 1
the Constitution, a* a Southerner by birth and edu- 1
• cation, I naturally consider the rights, the interests, !
and the honor ofthe South as paramount to all other
considerations. Hence in the management of the '
paj»er mv rnotto will Im* “ Equality in th* Tnion or ’
Independenee out of it.” But, in my humble judg-
I ment, then* is but one effectual means of preserving
the I*nion consistently w ith the constitutional rights
of the South, and therefore I will zealously advocate j
> the policy and principles of that good old f>cin<»cratic
, party which ha* been our only anchor of safety during
the past, and now stands our only hope for the fu
ture.
1 The State Press will Im* printed with new type on J
a large sheet. It will be no excellent medium for ad
vertising, a* arrangements have been made to give
it a wide circulation.
