Thk New- York Tribtdib.— The TRrsTTTTE is an institution. 
We regard It as tlie most valuable of our exchanges. It is 
the best dally in tile nation. Not tliat it is larger, or costlier, 
or more pains-talvlnff than some others, but it has more prin- 
ciple. It is one of the few public journals which seem to be 
conducted in the interest of right. Occasionally In bravely 
striking at wrong it proves to be mistaken, but we admire 
the courage with wldch it deals its blows when we cannot 
spprove the direction It gives to them.

the human race.

It is ably edited, and to the Farmer, Mechanic or Slerchant,

worthy a place in every household.

have been saved. For instance, by merely saying my place

wrote letters would have bpen s-aved the trouble of writing,

Effect of Advertising in Tlie Tribune— 
"A word about advertising in The Tribune. When I lately 
offered in its columns my present home for ^ale, letters of in- 
quiry began at once to pour iu upon me. from North, South, 
East, and West— a perfect deluge, and I would auviye all 
who do not wish to spend most of their time answering letr 
Brooklyn, -jeth Dec. 1?65. 
To the PuELisnEK of The New-Yokk Tribune, 
Dear Sir— In November last, I wrote an article headed, 
"Ho, for Tennessee," which was a description of the Cum- 
berland Table. It was published in The New-York Daily 
Tribune of Nov. 'JSth, and again in the SEin Weekly ir^sue 
of Nov. 2yth. The object of the article was to call tlic atten- 
tion of your readers to tlie advantages of that location, more 
particularly so as concerned men of small means, and those 
who were suffering from ill health, two classes wliich my 
benevolence led me to wish tobenefit. I did not write tliat 
article because I had, or expected to have land for sale, but 
because I believed many would thank me for the information 
thus communicated ; yet, although I had no land for sale, I 
knew of tliose who liad, at a moderate price, and perfect 
title, and was convinced that every man who bought of ft 
might be benefited thereby. Not feeling justified iu with- 
holding my information from the public, I prepared and in- 
serted an advertisement in three of the leading newspapers 
of New-York City, in which 1 promised to give definite infor- 
mation concerning the Cumberland Table of Tennessee, to 
any person who should apply to me for It. personally, or by 
letter. That advertisement appeared -^evral times iu each of 
the journals alluded to, of which The N. Y. Trieuxe was one. 
As a matter of justice to your own journal allow me to state 
the result— from the readers of each of the otiicr two alluded 
lo, I have had two applicatinns— from readers of the Tri- 
bune I have had so many that I found It ulterhj impossible 
to id'ile answers lo them, even bv devoting my time frouh 
early morning until 77iirf?;/fl'/(( of each day, six days iu the 
week, and that I might fulfill the promise made iu my adver- 
tisement, was compelled to print nearly all that I desired lo 
say to applicants, by which course, with unremitted industry 
ou my part, I have been able to fuliill luy promise. Applica- 
tions come to me every day fioiii renders of the Tribune, 
from Maine to Minnesota, inclusive, and the interest Avhich 
has been excited doe? not seem lo abate in the least degree. 
If the X. Y. Tkibine, viewed as an advertising niediiim, 
for such an object has so great advantages oi brothers, I 
think It but fair and just to yourself, and the Public, that it 
should be made manifest— you are tliereforc at liberty tu 
make any use of this communication which you think prop 
er, as it is simply a statement of facts made voluntarily for 
the benefit of all concerned, ^ 
Yours. Veo' KespectfuHy.
