PUBLISHER’S NOTICES. 
Plenty op Time 1— In answer to two or three 
recent inquiries, we would state there is yet abuudaot 
time to secure the Liberal Gratuities we offer for the first 
100 lists of 30 subscribers, and first 100 of 10, 16, or 20. 
Indeed, as club lists do not usually come in to aDy extent 
until after Dec. 1 st, we presume all who remit before the 
10th or 15th will be sure of the extra premiums, and per¬ 
haps those who Bend as late as the 20th or 25th. But as 
there are indications of a rush this year, competitors 
should remit as early es possible. 
03 fi ” Thb Money Wb Reokivb. — Bills on all solvent 
Banks in the U. 8 . and Canada taken at par on sub<ciip- 
tion to the Rural, but cur agents and other friends will 
please remit New York, New England or Canada money 
when convenient. Postage Stamps can be remitted for 
fractional parts of a dollar. For all amounts over $15 we 
prefer Drafts on either New York, Philadelphia, Boston, 
Albany, Rochester or Buffalo (less exchange,) payable to 
our order—and all such drafts may be ma lsd at the risk 
of the Publisher. If our friends throughout the Union, 
British Provinces, &c., will comply with tbe^e suggestions 
so far as convenient, the favor will be appreciated. 
Any person who remits pay for a club of 10,16 
or 20 at the specified rates for such club, and adds a suffi¬ 
cient number within one month thereafter can avail him¬ 
self of the advantage of the lower price of large club, 
and retain the amount overpaid. Thus, a person remit¬ 
ting $15 for 10 copies, could obtain 10 copies more within 
a month by sending only $ 11 . 
V~iT In ordering tha Rural please send us the best 
money conveniently obtainable, and do not forget to give 
your full address—the name of Post-Office, and also State, 
Territory, or Province. 
NOW IS THE TIME 
TO AID '1UE RURAL AND DO GOODl 
SUBSCRIBERS AND POST-MASTERS 
Can perhaps aid us more than any other persona 
From their position and standing they can exercise 
an influence in behalf of the Rural which would 
materially increase its circulation and usefulness. 
We frankly ask their assistance in behalf of the 
enterprise, trusting that each and all will have the 
kindness to do what may be consistent toward 
introducing the paper to notice and support 
Merchants and their Clerks, 
Clergymen and Teachers, 
Officers of Ag’l Societies, 
Progressive Farmers, 
Periodical Agents, 
All who have written to us for Specimens, 
And others, can also materially aid in augmenting 
the circulation of the paper—and of all who read 
this we bespeak such attention and encouragement 
as the Rural may, in their good judgment, seem 
to merit Any and every aid will be gratefully ap¬ 
preciated, and we shall be liberal in recognizing 
assistance by furnishing free copies, books, and 
other gratuities, to those who introduce the paper 
in their respective localities. 
HOW TO GET SUBSCRIBERS. 
The Best Way to obtain subscribers for the 
Rural is to show a number. Its most successful 
agents and active friends say this is the true course 
—that few object to subscribing after seeing the 
paper itself. With a single specimen many persons 
have procured handsome lists. Much less effort is 
required than many suppose — for, in this case as 
in some others, seeing and examining is believing and 
convincing. Indeed, there is scarcely a town to 
which w r e send this Supplement, wherein from 10 to 
30 subscribers could not readily be obtained by 
adopting the plan suggested, and using a little ex¬ 
ertion. Now, as the present is the best season to try 
this plan, how many will act upon the suggestion— 
thereby augmenting the circulation and usefulness 
of the Rural and benefiting their neighbors and 
community? If any of our friends use up or lose 
their numbers in the good work we will cheerfully 
furnish others to make their files complete. 
— The greatly reduced Club Rates will render 
it comparatively easy to obtain a handsome list in 
almost ary locality. Please try and see, Reader. 
Information for Agents, Ac—A reader wishes 
to know whether we will forward the extra copy 
to a friend in Iowa, provided he can get a sufficient 
number of subscribers to entitle him to an extr8. 
Also, whether we will send the Rural for $1,25, if 
he obtains 20 subscribers, and cannot get any more. 
— To the first inquiry, we say aye— will send the 
extra, or any club copy, wherever desired within 
the U. S. As to the other, would say that we must 
adhere to published terms in order to be consistent, 
and just to all. And really, five cents ia a small 
item to individual subscribers, though of conse¬ 
quence to us in the aggregate. Our rates are 
already too low for such a paper as we intend to 
furnish, and we are serpriEed that any one should 
wish or suggest a farther reduction. 
Important from Mexico. 
According to a letter from the city of Mexico, 
under date of November 19th, a ’.dressed to the New 
York T,mes, that countty is in a frightful condition. 
8uch is the State of affairs, that the population 
bear of new atrocities without aDy expression of 
surprise. “ The ink had scarcely dtied on my last 
letter to you,” says the writer, “in which I men¬ 
tioned the execution of seven Americans at Zaca¬ 
tecas, (by the way, the Government has not offici¬ 
ally announced this heroic actl) by one of the 
Government Generals, when we received the news 
that the same General had thrown an Englishman 
in capilla in Zacatecas, with orders to have him 
shot in a few hours, (I believe teD,) if he did not 
pay $15,000 asked of h'm. The receipt of this news 
here was the cause of immediate action on the 
part of the British Minister. lie wrote a most 
scathing note to the Government, and the Govern¬ 
ment expressed its disbelief of the story. The 
report has since been confirmed, and correspond-' 
ence has ceaseed between Her Majesty’s Min¬ 
ister and the Government. The next event of our 
times to record, is the taking of the castle of Perote. 
This fortress, which has held out for ten months 
againstthe Government troops, fell, on the morning 
of the 16th inst, into the hands of Gen. Echeagary. 
The victory was gained without blood, althougo 
its consequences promise to be bloody. General 
Echeagaray, in hi3 dispatch to the Government, 
says he intends to shoot all the officers, from cor¬ 
poral up, and on"-fith of the soldiers l 
“ In the meantime, while these events have been 
taking place, the cipital has been preparing for 
a state of seige. Trenches and breastworks have 
been arranged outside of all the garitas. The 
cause of this step of precaution is found in a gen¬ 
eral belief that in the next ten days this city will 
be again beseiged by the enemy. Families in all 
the surrounding villages have been deserting their 
homes in the past week, and coming here. Three 
days ago orders were given for the suspension of 
the railroad trains leaving or entering the city 
after 5 P.M. The work on the fortifications still 
goes ahead, and at every quarter of an hour in 
these loDg nights, the cry of ‘ Sentinel a lar ta! ’ 
goes up through all the lonely streets of this capital, 
horrifying to the ear as the howl of the hyena 
from a grave-yard.” 
Later Intelligence from New Mexico. —The 
St. Joseph (Mo.) Gazelle of the 27th alt, says:— 
“ We have been permitted to see a letter written to 
a gentleman in this city, dated Santa Fe, October 
31st, in which the writer states that news was 
received in that city the evening previous of an 
attack upon Fort Defiance by the Navajoe Indians. 
The Indians were repulsed with a loss of ninety 
killed; the troops sustaining a loss of four men. 
The Indians also drove a large number of horses 
belonging to the Government. The emigrants who 
were attacked at the crossing of the Colorado by 
the Mohaves, arrived at Albuquerque in a destitute 
condition, having lost eight hundred head of cat 
tie, horses and mules, together with all their pro¬ 
visions and equipage. Their wagons were left on 
the Colorado, and they had to return to Albuquer¬ 
que on foot, a distance of six hundred miles, 
nearly naked, and with nothing to eat hut beef.— 
The war in New Mexico wiil probably be on > of 
long duration, and it will require more troops than 
are now in that country, to bring the Indien, to 
subjection. At the present time the Navajoes, 
Mohaves and Diggers are all hostile to the whites, 
and will not miss an opportunity of cutting off any 
small party that may attempt to pass through their 
country.” 
The Trip of the Bcggles. —A letter from E. S_ 
Prosser, to the Buffalo Commercial, gives the par 
ticulars of the trip of the Canal 8teamer Ruggles, 
now at the east She left Buffalo November 21st, 
at 8 P. M, with a load of beef, broom-corn and 
grass seed, a8 full as she could stow in the hold and 
between decks. She left Rochester at 7 P. M., on 
the 22d, only 23 hours from Buffalo, and left Utica 
at 7 A. M. on the 25th, having been detained seven 
hours by boats aground on the route. The entire 
trip from Buffalo to Utica wa3 83 hours, distance 
254 milep, average rate of speed, including deten¬ 
tions, a fraction better than three miles an hour. 
Exclusive of detentions from other boats aground, 
the time wa3 76 hours, and the average speed about 
three and one third miles per hour. Mr. Prosser 
writes that with a perfect navigation there can be 
no doubt that steamers will go from tide-water to 
Buffalo in four days, and to New York in five days. 
A Windmill Pump at Sea. — A late issue of the 
Cork Reports, says that the Frundshung, of Liver¬ 
pool, laden with rice for the Cape, put into Queens¬ 
town a day or two since in distress. She sprung a 
leak at sea, and was filling at such a rate that the 
ordinary pumps, exerted with the power of all, 
could not have saved her. In this strait her cap- 
taiD, Adam John Bray, bethought him of a wind¬ 
mill pump, and the idea had no sooner occurred to 
him than he set about realizing it, and committed 
the execution of it to William Foulkes,his carpen¬ 
ter, who, being an expert and skillful artizaD, car¬ 
ried out the captain’s idea to perfection. By the 
power of this extemporized pump the vessel was 
kept afloat one hundred days, until she made 
Queenstown in safety’, where she may now be seeD, 
a signal proof of the power of the human mind, 
when energetically and ingeniously exerted, over 
the greatest difficulties. 
Cuban Statistics. —The population of Cuba at 
the last census, was a little over a million. The 
area embraced by the island and its dependencies, 
is 47,278 square miles. The great staples are sugar, 
coffee and tobacco, and the annual value of the 
products of the plantations is estimated at $60,- 
000,000, although only about one-twentieth of the 
island is ia cultivation. The annual revenues of 
the government amount to something like $13,- 
000,000 a year. There are 1,442 sugar estates, 1,818 
coffee estates, 912 tobacco estates, and about 10,000 
grazing farms. 
Canal Steamers and the N. Y. Chamber of 
Commerce. —The Special Committee of the Cham¬ 
ber of Commerce, on the 2d inst, reported ia 
favor of .steam on the Canals. They say it can be 
confidently affirmed, after full inquiry aud trial, 
that the banks of the Canals will not be injuried 
by propelling boats with steam. The report was 
adopted, and a memorial is to be addressed to the 
Legislature. 
How the Austria took Fire. 
It is but a few weeks since we chronicled the 
destruction of the Ocean steamer Austria, by fire, 
aud the loss of passengers. The cause of the dis¬ 
aster was attributed to the accidental upsetting of 
a kettle of tar, used for the purpose of fumigating 
the vessel. One of the passengers, Philip Berry. 
contradicts this statement in a letter to the N. Y. 
Times. He says that on the day before the burn¬ 
ing, it was reported on board that the Captain had 
made a bet that he would be in New York on the 
18th, (the following Saturday). To do this would 
have required the vessel to make 290 miles a day, 
whereas she had only been making 211. To ac¬ 
complish this, the fire was increased, and on Sun¬ 
day evening the flames came out above the smoke 
pipe fifteen or twenty feet in the a'r—thus giving 
a column of sixty or seventy feet of flame from the 
furnaces. The passage ways between decks became 
oppressively hot, and the whole vessel heated up. 
He further adds: 
“Taking the captain's betting', together with its 
conditioned requirements, and the excess of fire in 
the furnace immediately afterwards, and these facts 
tell the simple story:—‘ That they were pressing 
the vessels to the uttermost, and which resulted in a 
step beyond the uttermost.’ 
Now, at the time the alarm wa3 given, the flames 
were coming in under the quarter-deck. They 
must have ravished already two hundred and fifty 
feet of the ship’s length. If the tar-bucket was the 
cause of the fire, the fire started in the fore part 
of the steerage; and to completely overmaster the 
midships, aud fiad its way into the quarter-deck, 
by the time the alarm was given, must be explained 
by other principles than thatoTt&mmon sense.” 
Will this not give some clue to the captain’s 
fatuity? Could not a guilty conscience — a con¬ 
sciousness of doing wrong, and ths fear of this 
result—have been causes which made the captain 
a child when he should have been a giant? 
The English Indian Fund.— The aggregate 
amount of subscriptions for the relief of tbe suf 
ferers by the mutiny in India, was £433 620, or 
about two millions of dollars. Of this sam £127,- 
286 were sent to India for distribution, the authori¬ 
ties there being authorized to draw for £10,000 
more. In Great Britain about £40,000 were ex¬ 
pended among 86 widows and orphans of officers, 
298 widows and 423 children of soldiers, 6 widows 
of clergymen, and 23 widows and orphans of 
civilians. About £265,000 remain to be distributed. 
It ia now contemplated to extend relief, which in 
many cases is greatly needed, to the troops, gene¬ 
rally, stationed in India. 
English Newspapers, — It is said that within 
the last three years one hundred and fifty papers 
have ceased to exist, after a more or less protract¬ 
ed existence. The amount of capital thus invest¬ 
ed aud lost must have been large.
