Thb Kzw-Touk TniBiwrE.—T he TBiBtnrE is an institution. 
We regard it as tire most valuable of our exchanges. It is 
the best daily in the nation. Not that it is larger, or costlier, 
or more pains-taking 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 which it deals its blows when we cannot 
epiirove the direction It gives to them.

N. T. TniBtnrE.—There is no other paper published that 
is of more value to any one than The New-Toek Tbibunb. 
It la ably edited, and to the Farmer, Mechanic or Merchant 
is of great benefit. Probably no other paper in the country 
wields so much Influence, and however much we may disa¬ 
gree with some of the peculiar theories advocated, it is still 
worthy a place in every household.

The New-Tobk Teibuijb.— This radical journal .adver¬ 
tises its prospectus for 1866 in our columns. The Tkibune 
contains during the course of the year a vast amount of 
valuable and useful information. No paper, perhaps, in the 
country devotes so much space to the Interests of the work¬ 
ing men and Farmers as does The New-Tobk TEiBintE. 
[Dally Press, LouisvUle, Ky. 
New-Tobk TBrBrrsE.—This paper is one which should be 
well patronized. It abounds with useful Information for 
the Merchant, Mechanic and Farmer, beside being well 
stored with news from all parts of the world, and known as 
the staunchest champion for the freedom and progress of 
the human race.

THE Circulation of The Teibhne Is larger than that of 
any other Newspaper, and it is read hy the most enterpris¬ 
ing, thrifty, and industrious classes. Advertisements Insert¬ 
ed in each of the Editions of The Tbibunb—Daily, Semi- 
Weekly, and Weekly, will be read hy nearly a million of 
people, and no Investment pays a business man so well as 
the money he spends in judicious advertising. The investi¬ 
gation by the Mayor and Comptroller of the City resulted in 
naming the Daily Teibune as being one of the two papers 
having the largest daily circulation, and Its weekly edition 
is acknowledged to be far greater than that of any other 
Newspaper. 
The Daily Teibune la read by enterprising and intelU- 
gent business men and their families, and those who make 
known their wants through Its columns will reach the very 
best classes of buyers.

EiiTect of Advertising in The Tribune.— 
“A word about advertising in The Teibune. When I lately 
offered in its columns my present home for sale, letters of In¬ 
quiry began at once to pour in upon me, from North, South, 
East, and West—a perfect deluge, and I would advise all 
who do not wish to spend most of their time answering let¬ 
ters, not to use The Teibune as an advertising medium, or 
if they do, to be a little more liberal than I was, and pay for 
a few more particulars. Had I done so, much trouble might 
have been saved. For Instance, hy merely saying my place 
was small, or specifying the number of acres, many who 
wrote letters would have been saved the trouble of writing, 
and I should have escaped a great many Inquiries and 
saved trouble and expense. I would not, if to do again, 
spare words.” 
B. W. STEEKE, Adrian, Mich. 
Beooelyn, 26th Dec., 1865. 
To THE PUBLISnEE OF THE NkW-VoRK TkIBUNE, 
Sear 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 Nkw-Yoek Daily 
Teibune of Nov. 25th, and again In the Semi Weekly Issue 
of Nov. 28th. The object of the article was to call the atten¬ 
tion of your readers to the advantages of that location, more 
particularly so as concerned men of small means, and those 
who were suffering from ill health, two classes which my 
benevolence led me to wish to benefit. I did not write that 
article because I had, or expected to have land for sale, hut 
because I believed many would thank me for the information 
thus communicated; yet, although I had no land for sale, I 
knew of those who had, at a moderate price, and perfect 
title, arid was convinced that every man who bought of it 
might be benefited thereby. Not feeling justified in 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 I 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 several times In each of 
the journals alluded to, of which The N. Y. Tribune was one. 
As a matter of justice to your own journal allow me to state 
the result-from the readers of each of the other two alluded 
to, I have had two applications—from readers of the Tri¬ 
bune I have had so many that I found It utterly impossible 
to write answers to them, even by devoting my time from 
early morning until midnight of each da}', six days in the 
week, and that I might fulfill the promise made in my adver¬ 
tisement, was compelled to prUit nearly all that I desired to 
say to applicants, by which course, with unremitted industry 
on my part, I have been able to fulfill my promise. Applica¬ 
tions come to me every day from readers of the Tribune, 
from Maine to Minnesota, inclusive, and the interest which 
has been excited does not seem to abate in the least degree. 
If the N. Y. Tribune, viewed as an advertising medium, 
for such an object has so great advantages over others, 1 
think it but fair and jiist to yourself, and the Public, that it 
should be made manifest—you are therefore at liberty to 
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, Very Respectfully,
