Correspondence of the Dayton Transcript. PHILADELPHIA, June 29, 1846.


DEAR MAC,-I arrived liere by the cars on Friday night. As my time has since been chiefly occupied with business, I have not yet been to see many of the lions. One of my first devo'rs was attention to your business with your agent, Mr. V. B. Palmer ; and it will not be uninteresting to give you some detail of an hour's inter- view with this extraordinary man. I say extraordina- ry because he is not only the first who has set on foot a new system of propelling the commercial machinery of the country, but has conceived the plan, through unaid- ed foresight, and has, by perseverance and energy, de- spite gigantic opposition and multiplied discourage- ments, succeeded. He has for five years, labored to es- tablish a general newspaper agency, by which a regular and systematic means is afforded to business men of giving notoriety abroad to their respective branches of business. To give you some idea of liis views, which you will no doubt conceive correct, he draws a compa- rison between all commercial pursuits and the grand theatre of mankind in their physical and intellectual capacity.


Whereas the physical must be aided by the intellec- tual in order to compete with the growing wants and demands of the former, so the material affairs of busi- ness transactions must be aided and sustained by a pro- portionate exercise of intellectual energy ; and this in- tellectual energy should keep pace with the facilities by which the material affairs of business are advanced. If they do not, the same effect must, from time to time arise, that would result from an overgrown population without the mental discretion to provide means for their sustenance. As a portion of the community would be subject to starvation and death, so in the com- mercial world, that portion which, with listless concern for the mere transferring and handling of merchandise -the mere material of trade-would inevitably be ob- liged to succumb to what is reputed the times, and fail. Formerly the material of trade required but little intel- lectual exertion. While our population was compara- tively small, our resources were limited, our business men few, our conveyances tardy, as also our means of intelligence, it was an easy matter to give notoriety to business abroad, by means of verbal, written, or printed communications, which were leisurely passed from one to another and read. The times have changed. In- stead of the slow Conestoga teams, we have steamboats and locomotives. These have also superseded the mail coach. The material of trade has advanced beyond all calculation for speed and despatch.


Those business men who liave consulted, with proper discretion, the facilities at hand, are advancing rapidly in the scale of fortune ; while many, very many, who have availed themselves merely of those palpable aids which they were obliged to resort to, or immediately


one is now obliged, if he would keep pace with the times, to aid his physical exertions in trade, or what- ever business he may be engaged in, by due recourse to those means by which his business profession niny be- come generally known. This is the intellectual part of his business, and the press is the great medium through which it must, at the present day be developed. Now- a-days newspapers are diffused far and wide, they are read by all, and they afford the only vehicle by which men and establishments at a distance, become generally known. At the present day, as yet, this engine of intel- ligence, though a most important organ of business, has not attracted attention commensurate withi cotemporary improvements, simply because the material of business is more palpable and tangible, and it will be only by de- grees that the power of the press will be acknowledged as equal to that of steam for the furtherance of business enterprise.


The advantages to be gained through the press are, however, not an universal secret, and our attention is ofttimes directed to persons who have, as if by magic, arisen from meagre circumstances to a condition of af -* fluence and wealth. A certain grocer commences busi- ness in an obscure part of this city. His profits enable him to advertise occasionally. Finding his custom in- creasing, he gives further publicity to his house. The surplus profits of his first business years are thus expend- ed, and by means of this secret, he continues to enlarge luis business, until he finds himself master of a princely fortune. Who has not known or heard of the fortunes gained by the patentees of medicine, or the promulga- tors of panacens, vermifuges, ague tonics, pills, &c .? The secret of their fortunes lies not alone in the intrin- sic value of their nostrums, but in their availing them- selves of the means of making them known. Their medicines would have remained with them, and gone with them to the grave, had they depended upon their curative powers, without making them known to the world. A few patients might have made known their virtue to several neighbors, and the custom would not have justified an extensive manufacture. Thus it is with business of every branch in existence. Publicity must he gained through the press, or the establishment like a body without a soul, must return to the elements from which it sprang. Such are the views of Mr. Palmer, and I think them correct ; and I congratulate you on having your name on his list. He is a real busi- ness man. He makes himself responsible for the pay of all advertisements sent by him, and he exerts himself nobly in the diffusion of his principles, which, from the most discouraging results of the first two years, have at length gained him the assurance that his views are correct. I might express a surprise that editors have hitherto remained so dormant on this subject, but like every new practical theory it must find its way to the understanding by trial, and until its utility is as appa- rent as noon-day, it must step by step, grope along an untrodden path under the glimmering light of a few ad- vocates.


Truly, yours, IZZARD.


THE


STREET DIRECTORY


OF


THE CITY OF NEW - YORK.


(Corrected June 1st, 1847.)


Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1847, by JOHN DOGGETT, Jr., in the Clerk's office of the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of New-York.


EXPLANATION.


If you wish to find the location of any dwelling house or store, -for instance, No. 80 Allen- street, on consulting the Street Directory, you will observe that 68 Allen is on the right-hand of that street and on the corner of Grand, and 88 Allen on the right-hand corner of Broome : hence the desired number, 80 Allen, will be on the right-hand side of Allen-street, between Grand and Broome.


Or suppose that you are going up Broadway and wish to take a cross street so as to call at 128 Bowery : on examination (see Bowery) of the corner numbers in the Bowery, you will observe that 127 Bowery is on the corner of the Bowery and Grand ;- hence, by passing from Broadway through Grund-street to the Bowery, you are opposite to the desired number, (128.)


NOTE .- The streets above Twelfth-street are divided by Avenue 5th, into East and West-as East Thirteenth, West Thirteenth-and the streets located as above described will be found, therefore, in this work, under East and West. Some have supposed that Broadway divided these streets into East and West-but, it is a mistake.
