A contempt rary newspaper pnblisher has discovered that it takes money to run a newspaper, as any other business, and no paper will succeed financially that carries on the dead-bead system. He has come to the conclusion that ‘Any mention of the people’s affairs that they are a -xious to see in print is worth paying for, and when printed, is generally as bene ficial as tiny other investment of thc same amount. The newspaper business is very exacting on all connected with it, and the pay is comparatively small; the proprietors risk more money for smallor profit, and the editors and reporters and printers work harder and cheaper than the same number of men in any other profession requiring the given amount of intelligence and train ing and drudgery. The life has its charms and pleasant sociations scarcely known by the outs de world; but it has its earnest work, and anxieties and hours of exhaustion, which, likewise, are not knowD to those who think the business all fun. The idea that news- paperdom is a charmed circle, where the favored members live a life of ease and free from care, and go to the circns at night on free tickets, and to the springs on a free pass in t ie Summer, is an idea which wa desire to explode practically and theoreti cally- Business is business; and the jour nal that succeeds itrtife one that is run cu a square business footing,the same as bank ing, or building bridges, keeping hotel or running a livery stable.’ Maesailes.

Tocas, Nov. 16. Among the prisoners captured at Orleans is the nephew of Tann, the Prussian General who was Governor of Orleans during its occu pation. The city of Chartres is again occu pied by thc French. There was a Dutch woman whose hus band, Deidrieli Van Pronk, kicked the bucket and left her inconsolable. Folks said grief woulu kill that widow. She had a figure of wood carved that looked very mueh like her lute husband, and placed it in her bed and constantly kept it for sever al months. In about half a year, she he came intcresied in a oung socmaker, who got the length of her foot and finally mar- rieiher- He had visited the widow not more than a fortnight, when the servants told her that they wereont of kindling-wood and asked what should be done.

Quite ax Ornament.—Thc handsome Star sign in front of Rosenberg & Brothers’ popu- ular Star H use is quite an ornament to the sidewalk, and would of itself attract the at tention of the passer by to the full and busy store before which it stands. The Brothors Rosenberg arc doing a large and fair business —they sell cheap and warrant their goods.

Go it ye little fishes —we suspected all thc while that little Drugy and Grubbs were not doing all that dirty work for nothing. Little Dingy says, “Thc Concordia well know how to present the lighter dra mas on thc stage.” It do, do it and aren’t you a pretty fellow to talk about sending a grammar to any body. Gibbon In Love. Mr. Gibbon was at that really dramatic passage of t is life, in thc middle of the year 1787, when he was completing his history, and on a certain night in June he had written the last page of the great work Great as it is, it seems now to be regarded more with respect and awe than affection, a feeling that Mr. Dickens has very rapid y expressed when he made Mr. Boffin choose it for the work with which he was to make his first acquaintance with litera ture. Very familiar is the description of the almost solemn act performed in a pavillion at the end of his garden. Laying down his r-cn. he took several turns m the ‘acacia alley,’ with a feeling of joy at getting his liberty after this long and arduous servi tude. but dazed with a certain melancholy, as he thougbt.however lasting might be the reputation of the book, the days of the wri ter might be numbered, Lady Elizabeth Foster, who afterward became Duchess of Devonshire,arrived shortly after,and struck him, as she struck all, with the eleganse of her form and manner, her esprit cleverness and,above all, thc nice apropos of her com pliments. She took a great interest in that dramatic completion of tho great history, and was one morning asked to breakfast to inspect tho very scene. In the meantime Mr. Gibbon had interpreted her “sweet ness” and elegance, and all the compli ments, as so tuaDy proofs of the impression he was making upon her heart. And it seemed this occasion would do exceedingly to br-ng on a denouement. After break fast was over, he brought her out to look at the famous acacia walk, and the view of lake and mountain which it commanded. She was enthusiastic in her delight, and ex pressed herself in all the raptures becoming admiration for scenery, when the historian affected to become suddenly jealous of the praise bestowed on snch objects, electrified her by an eloquent and passionate declara- ion.at thc same time falling on his knees.The astonished lady could hardly believe at first, thenburst into a fit of laughter.The situation must have been ludicrous indeed, the un wieldy lover still pouriDg out his vows, and she remaining a few paces off and trying to sooth him. At last he nnderntood his mistake,and then she bid him to get up.But this was impossible, gaut, enormous fat, and rheumatism ut'erly incapacitated him. The brilliant lady, cruelly ignoring the ro mance of thc situation, came to his aid and tried to raise him, bat it was in vaio, and it was determined that she shonld go for assistance, and givo out that Gibbon had fallen She went, and two stont peasants of the place came up, raised him between them, and landed him in his familiar easy chair. The Atlanta Oonstitntion is still stirring np the monkeys with his “iron-wood shub- ble.” Here is the summary its has made of Peterson Thweatts,expotc. Bollock’s Administration—The Legis lature. In the place of onr next article on the Bullock administration, we give to- lay a communication from Colonel Peterson L. Thweatt, comparing the cost of the sessions of Governor Bullocks Legislature with past General Assemblies. He shows that while two years o( this Legislature cost nearly a million,nineyrars of honal Initiation in Democratic timet, from 1855 to 1862, cost only $866,385 53, or $12,679 47 less. Ponder upon it tax-payers. It is well worthy of your prayerful rumination. It shows well the difference between cor rupt Radical rale and honest govern ment. He follows it ont and shows that for six years the General Assemblies were a third larger that Bullock’s costly concern. He shows also that the clerk hire for fonr of those honest Legislatures, aggregate ed only $43,896, while clerk hire of on- of the five sessions of Bnllock’s body was over $82,000, nearly double. The comparison is terrible. Will Geor gians vote to continue the corrupt dynasty in power ? Red Cloud charges the President with ly- ag, and proves it cn him.

Cotton Factories in the South.— correspondent of the New York Times who has made an extended tour through out the Southern States writes as fol lows of their capacities for mannfactur- The comparatively few cotton tactories which are now in operation at the South, are immensely profitable to their stock-hol. ders. They tun night and day, and find agree- dy market lor all the g -ods they can make, and are every year adding to their capacity and inreeasing their wealth. There is a mine of wealth in the wasted water powers which runs through the cotton fields of Georgia, which if utilized, would confer countlets favors on millions of people. New Haven has so much poor and un salable whisky on hand that the liquor deal ers fear they will be compelled to doctor their stock with opium and import tho Me riden t mpcrance editors to drink it out o the way The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Gazette says in his letter of the 31st nltimo to that paper that Attorney General Akerman has returned to Washing after completing the organization of bis jn dicial forces in New York city. The pro ceedings were conducted in secret. The Jlarshal’s own corps, as well as the United States troops, will act on the day of elec tion undersecret instructions from the War Department, dictated by the President him self. I learn, also, thet a new order for the retaking of the census in the city of New York has fir its object a specious gronnd for rejecting tho Representatives to Con gress, sure to be elected. The next return will be manipulated to order; Akerman set tled all that daring his late visit.

The London Times this afternoon has a Berlin special of to-day, saying the French movement towards Chartres is apparently in tended as preliminary to attack on the wes tern flank of tho German armj now around Paris. The French are treating captains of mer chant vessels which they captured as priso ners of war. Bismarck demands the surren der of these forty captains and threatens re- taliati n upon an equal number of the French nobles. Nzw York, Nov. 16. A telegram special from London says ves sels of war have been recalled from every for eign station except such as are absolutely needed in toreign waters. A concentration of ships at Portsmouth is already apparent, and the greatest activity prevails in all Eng lish naval depots. A powerful fleet will be immediately dis patched to the Medeteranean sea. Best informed circles think the pretensions of Prussia render a general European war in evitable. It is also believed that Russia and Prussia are in close alliance against the rest of Europe. Florzncz, Not. 16. Russia’s repudiation of the Paris treaty causes intense anxiety here. London, Nov. 16. Stocks and securities of all kinds lower, and markets flat in view of the crisis on the Eastern question. There is uneasiness in all circles.
