The speech of Mr. Foote, relative to a Dictator, has
produced some sensation in the city, and may produce more.

get out of the country with their gains.
To-day Mr. Davies paid me $350 more, the whole amount of
copyright on the 5000 copies of the first volume of new "Wild Western
Scenes," published by Malsby. He proposes to publish the second volume as
soon as he can procure the necessary paper.
