THE MONTICELLO SPECTATOR.

Austin has received fifty barrels of flour. • (y27”Flour has taken another rise. It is now worth §4 per hundred. Butter is selling at ten cents, and eggs at six. (KfWe owe an apology for the amount of advertisements in this paper, but we are compelled to put them in, as we get verylittle money from other sources just now. However, although money is exceedingly scarce with us, we will, if possible, enlarge the paper the third week after this, when we shall have used up the small paper on hand. We do not make this as an absolute promise, as it will depend oh the state of our purse, which is not flush just now.

We have received the first number of this paper, published by J. &. B. Spencer, and edited by J. Spencer. It is a very neatly printed littlelpaper, of the size and style of the Gazette, and is well filled with choice original and selected matter. The editor, in his salutatory, takes a high Republican stand, and evinces a boldness and energy that will tell on the local politics of White county. Success to youj gentlemen, and long life to the Spectator.
