i THE BUND BOV.
An editor front whose selections wo Uke tbelo!-
r lowing lines, lias beant'.fuliy said, that, forhimselt,
be could not see to reed them through :
It waM a b'es&ed summer’s day,
The flower* bloomed, the air was miU.
The little b:rd» poured forth their lay,
And ererything ia nature ami‘e-1.
In pleasin', though*. I wandered on
B-netth the deep woods’ simple shade,
Till suddenly I eimeupcn
Two children who had thither strayed.
Jost at an aged Leech tree's foot,
A little boy and girl reclined ;
His hand in her’a he gently pot,
And then I saw the boy was Wind.
The children knew rot I was near;
A tree concealed me from their view ;
But all they said I well could hear,
And I could tee all they might do.
“ Dear Mary !*’ said the poor blind boy,
14 Thatiitle bird sings very long,
Pay, doyoaseehim !n hU joy, I
And is he pretty as his rong?”
“ Ye-, Ed»ard,yes,” replied the maid,
“ I see the bird on yonder tree; "
The poor boy sighed and gently said,
“ Sister, I sriah that 1 could see!"
“ The flowers, you say, are very fair,
And bright green leaves are on the trees,
And pretty birds are singingthere—
How beautirolfor one who sees' ”
“ Vet I the fragrant flowers can smell.
And I can feel the green leaf's shade,
An 1 1 can hear the notes that swell
From tbose dear birds that God has made."
“ So, sister, God to me is hind,
Though sight, alasl He has not given;
But te ime are there any blind,
Among the children up in heavens ”
“ No, dearest Edward, there all see,
But why ask me a thing so odd?"
“ Oh Mary, He’s so good to me,
I thought I’d like to look at God I ”
Ere long, disease his hand had laid
On that dear boy so meek and mild ;
His widowed mother wept and prayed
That God would spare her sightless child.
He felt her warm tears on his face,
And said, ” Oh, ne *er weep for me—
I’m going to a bright, bright place,
Where, Marysays, I God shall see.”
“ And you’ll come there, dear Mary, too:
But, mother, dear, when you come there,
TeUEJivard,mother, that ’tisyou—
You know I never saw you here!"
He spoke no more, bnt sweetly smiled,
Until the final blow was given ;
When God took up that poor blind child
And opened first his eyes—in heaven.

Translated for the Literary Museum, front the Vanish of
Mans ChrisUiin Anderson.
‘Whenever a good child dies, there comes one
of God's angels down to the earth, who takes tho
dead child on his arms, spreads out his broad
whito wings, and flies with him all over tho places
where tho child has lived, and gathers a globe
handful of flowers, which he carries up to God,
where they bloom much more beautifully than on
the earth. The dear God presses all tho flowers
to his heart, and each one that lie loves most he .
kisses, and it becomes vocal, and can sing with 1
groat joy.’
Bee ! all this was said by the angel of God, as
lie carried a dead child to heaven, and tho child
heard as in a dream ; and then went over to
home-places where the little child had played,
and they camo through gardens with beautiful
flowers.
‘Which will wc now take witli us, aud plant it
in heaven J” asked the angel.
And thero stood a tall, beautiful rose hush; but
un evil hand had broken the stem, so that all the
branchos, full of large, half-blown buds were dried
up. ,
‘The poor rose-bush!’ said the child; ‘take it and
let it come and bear blossoms near God.’
And the angel took it, and embraced the child 1
for it, and then the little one ha.f opened his
eyes, lie placed the rich blooming flowers, and
also tlie unnoticed Inittorcups, und tho wild i
pansies. ,
“How we have flowors,’ said tho child; and the i
angel approved, but did not go immediately to i
God. Ii was not—it was entirely still; ilioy ro- j
muined iu the great city. I
And they flow over one of the small streots where i
there w ere groat heaps of straw, ashes, aud sweep- ,
iugs, for the diiy, hud been a great time of moving. |
There lay broken pieces of plates, plastering, rags, j
and old hate, which were worthless.
And the augol saw iu all this worthless mot'er, j
some pieces of a broken pot,and iu a lump of t
earth, which had fallen some roots of a field flower, <
which were regarded as wottiilcss, and cast out ,
with tho rest. * f
‘Tako that with us,’ said the angel, ‘I will toll t
tliee why, during our long flight.’ j
And so they new, and the angel said : t
“Down in that little street, in that low collar, ,
lived a poor sick boy; from his infancy, ho was (
always nod-ridden. When he was strongest, he <
could only walk across his poor little room once or <
twice on crntclios, that wus all. A few days in
summer tho sunbeam ; penetrated for a half hour ;
to the floor of the collar; and then, when the poor (
boy saw tho warm suu shining, and tho red b ood t
iu his little fingers which ho held before bis face,
ho said : ‘Yes, to day he is out!’ He only knew
tho glorious green of tho spring woods by tho
boecuon buds Drought him by a neighbor’s son,
and lie placed them over his head and dreamed
thutlio was among beeches, whore the sun shono,
and the birds sung. One spring day, the uoigh
bor’s boy brought him sorno fl .Id-flowers, and one
had a root, and tho littlo boy planted it at tho win
dow by his bod. And the flower was well plant
od, for It grew and put forth now twigs, and each 1
year bore flowers. So the sick boy had a flue
garden,his only treasure hero on tho earth; lie
took care of it, and tended it, and thought of it,
until tho last sunbeam shone through tho window,
and the flowers grew in his dreams, grew lor him,
shedding its fragrance, and rejoicing his eye, until t
God called him to die. One year he has been with I
God ; ouo year has tho flower been forgotten in the c
window, and it has witbored aud been caatont in
to tho dirt of tho street. And tbis is the flower—
the poor withered flower—wbicii wo have taken
into our bouquet, for this flower has caused more <
joy than the linost in the gardon of a queeu.”
‘Hut how know you all this I’asked ihoxliild
whom the angel wob currying to lieavon.
‘I know it,’ vsid tho angel, ‘for I was myself the
littlo sick child that went on crutches. 1 know t
my own dear flower!'
And the child opened his eyes, and looked into 1
the angel’s glorious, beautiful faco, and at the
aunio moment he found himself in God’s heaven,
where joy and happiness arc. And god pressed
tho dead child to his heart, aud ho received wings
like tho other angel, and flew hand und hand with
him - And God pressed all tho flowers to liis
hoart, but bo kissed the poor forsaken Hold-flower,
aud it received a voice, and sang with all tho an- i
gels which surrounded God—somo very near, J
others lar off, but all alike happy. Aud they all (
sung, small and great, übout tho good blessed (
child, and the poor field-flower which had lain j
withering and unnoticed in the gutter among the 1
dirt of the small, dark lane.
A Cheebful Heart. — l onca hoard a young lady i
say to ail individual! “Your countenance to me ia 1
liko tho rising snu, forit always gladdens rna with ]
a ehcorfnl look.” A merry or cheerful coonte- j
unnoo is one of the things which Jeremy Taylor 1
said his enemies and persecutors conld not take j
away from him. There are some persoitß who ]
speud their lives in this world, as they would j
spend their lives if shut up in n ditugeon. Every- !
thing ia made gloomy ona forbidding. They go ]
mourning and complaining from day to day that j
they have so little, aud are constantly anxious lest j
wlint thi-y should have oaeape out of their hands.— :
They al ways look upon tho durk side and can never •
enjoy the good. Religion makes the heart cheerful, ,
and when its large and benovolout principles are 1
exercised, man will bo happy in spite of himself. J
The industrious hue does not stop to complain that ■
there aro so many poisonous (lowers and thorny i
branches on its road, but burses on selecting honey ’
where ho can find it, and passing quietly the
places whero it is not. There is enough to com- ■
plain about and find fault with, if men have tho
disposition. Weoften travel on a hard aud un
even road, but with a cheerful spirit, and a heart
to praise God for his mercies, wc may walk there
in with comfort, and come to the end of onr jour
ney with poaco.— Dr. Dtvxy.
Who was tub Gentleman (—“Please, sir, do
not push so.”
It was in endeavoring to penotrato the dense
crowd, that nearly filled the outrance and blocked
up tho doorway, after one of onr popular lectnres,
that this exclamation met ray attention. It pro
ceeded lrom a little girl of not more than ten years,
who, hemmed np by the wall on one side, and the
crowd on the other, was vainly endeavoring to ex •
tricßtc henst-lf.
The | ersouaddrossc-l paid no attention to the
enircatiesofthclitUeonc, but pus e-t on towards
th* door.
“Look here, sir," exclaimed a man whose coarse
apparel, sturdy frarno and toil-embrowned hands
contrasted strongly with the delicately gloved fin
gers ourliug locks and expensive Droadcloth
yf the former. “ Look you here, sir, you’re
jamming that little gai’s bonuet all to smash, with
thenrclbows o’ yourn.”
“Can’t help that," gruffly replied tho individual
thus uddres- cd; “I look to’ number one."
“Yon take care of number one, do you I Wal,
that’s all fair; so do I,” replied the honest coun
tryman ; and with these words he took the little
girl in his arms, and placing his broad shoulders
against the slight form of tho other, he pushed
him through the crowd, down the steps, landing
him with rather more liaste than dignity in the
street below.
The young gentleman pickod himself np, bnt
rather intimidated by the stout fist of the stranger,
and abashed by the laughter of the crowd, conclu
ded it was “übont time for him to go homo.”
Iu polite society, the former would be oonrted
and admired, and the latter overlooked and de
spised, but “who was the gentleman f”
Ou a raw, blustering day, a few days sinee, a
girl, with a small basket on her arm,entered odc of
our stores. After making a few purchases she turn
ed to leave. Two grntknu n stood up in the door
way, whose appearance indicated that they thought
themselves “considerably” if not more; whose
sott, sleek coats and delicate hands were apparent
ly of the same quality as their brains.
’ As they made not the slightest movement as she
approached, the young girl hesitated a moment,
bnt seeing no other way, she politelv requested
them to stand aside. They huily moved a few
inches, allowing her barely room to pass ; giving
her, as she did so, abroad stare, that brought the
color to her cheek aud the fire in her eye.
In stepping upon the icy pavement, her foot
slipped, and in endeavoring to save herself her
basket fell and the wind scattered its contents in
every direction.
At, this the two 'j<ntltvun burst into a loud laugh:
and seemed to consider it vastly amusing.
“Let me assist you," exclaimed a pleasant voice,
aud a tad about sixteen, whose hands showed that
they were accustomed to Übor, and whose coarse,
well-patched coat indicafW that he was the child
of poverty, sprang forward, and gathering up the
a tides, presented them with a bow and smile that
would have graced a drawing room. “ J 17.0 n™

Boys I you ate all ambitious to be considered
gentlemen. That is a!! very natural, but remem
ber that neither your own nor yonr parents’ posi
tion in life, yonr tailor, vour bootblack, or your
barber can make you one. The true gentleman is
the same everywhei c. Not only at the social party
or ball, but in the noisy mill, the busy shop, the
crowded assembly, at home, or on the elreet.—
Never oppressing the weak, or ridiculing the un
fortunate. Respective andattontive to his supe

Completion or Ui« Census of I*so.
The final report upon the Seventh Census is now
passing through the press. It will be the moat
important statistical work ever published in the
L nitedSlates. To produce it has required the un
bounded means of the government, the ability and
zeaiof two gentleman as superintendents ot the
work, enjoying the highest reputation for skill ia
the collection ai d preparation of statistics, and the
labors of a multitude of intelligent subordinates,
during three years and a half.
The work will be entitled “Statisticsof the [fai
led States,™ aud lias been prepared in conformity
with the act of Congress directing the method of
publishing the Census Tables. It will consist of
a single volume of 1200 pages, aud will be ready
for distribution at the opening of the next session
of Congress. The form adopted is quarto, in
which respect the work will possess an advantage
over any other document of the same class pub
lished by the government. All former ones have
bjen thrown together iu a shape so inconvenient
as to preclude their general use, and the money
expended, with the object of multiplying those
valuable memorials ‘.four progress, has proved a
useless expenditure.
W e are glad to see that Mr. De Bo w has availed
himself of oue clause of the act prescribing the
general plan of bis labors to illustrate his work
with notes aud commentaries, which give it the
character it ought to possess, that of a statistical
history, rather tbuu u rigid aud wearisome array of
figures. This portion of his report will occupy
between seventy fivo and cue hundred pages. \vo
transfer to our columns a portion ot the most
valuable aud ioteresliDg matter to be found in thia
introduction to the tables. The Superintendent
has prepared and included in this division a
useful abstract of the results of all the Censuses
from 1790 to 1850. He has also given the
forms and schedules adopted for collecting and
condensing information in each Census, together
with a complete view of legislation on tlie subjec'-
sin-c the foundation of the government. This
will be valuable tor reference, and will greatly
abridge the labor* of Cougross when hereafter
called upon to amend or add to existing law.-.
The cost of taking and printing the different
Censuses since 1790, have been as follows ;

Following those statements is a digest of ull the
circu ars and instructions issued from the State
Department and from the Superintendents of
Census to tho Marshals engaged in taking the
Census, and the persons employed in compiling
the returns. The utility of this digest is evident.
We then have a well prepared description of tho
“European Census System,” showing at what
times and in what manner the population and sta
tisticsof tho different countries of that Continent
are obtained.
From tlio introductory details relating moro es
pecially to the Census of the United States, for
1850, we cx'ra't the following statements :
TERKHOBIAL EXTENT Or THE UNITED STATES.
Table 11. The following table was prepared for
tho Census Office, by Col. J. S. Abort of the Topo
graphical Engineers.
Square Miles.
Area of the Pacific Slope or of the region water
ed by rivers falling into the Pacific 778,266
Area of the MUallslppi Valley or of the region
watered by the Mississippi, Missouri and their
tributaries 1,287,811

Total of the Atlantic Slope, or of the regions
whose waters fall Into the Atlantic 977,576
Total Area of the United States and their terri
tories in 1853 2,981.158
This estimate of Col. Abort has somo c'aims to
authenticity, which cannot bo urged for those
moro commonly used, but wc observe that in a
subsequent part of tho introduction, the aggroguto
nroa of tho Union given by Slates and Territories,
is B,Bo6,ooosquare milos. Tho lattcrainonnt is tho
result of an examination of various official reports
from the Land Office, Congress, and the Stato De
partment. Tho sta'oinent given in the Census
Report 1852, of the Territory of tho United States
is 3,23 ',572 square miles.
Mr. DoUow remarks upon the foregoing table as
follows : Tho Territorial extent of the Republic is,
therefore, nearly ton timos as large as that of
Great Britain and Franco combined ; throe times
us large as France, Grout Britain, Austiia, Prussia,
Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Holland and Denmark,
together ; one and one half times as large as the
Russian Empire in Europe ; one sixth less only
than the area covered by the fifty-nine or sixty
empires, states, and republics of Europe ; of equal
extent with tho Roman Empire, or that of Alexan
der, neither of which is said to have exceeded
8,000,000 squaro miles.”
The area cf all the States of Europe is given as
8,288,882 square miles. The areas of the dis
ferent countries on this continent, arc given as

In the letter, eommuuica’ing hia report to Con
gress, Mr. Deßow refers to the rejection,-by the
ist act of Congress, of the valuable statistics on
manufactures, and the returns of deaths—and re
commends that authority be requested lor a foil
compila ion of the tables on those subjects. It can
not be doubted that the Secretary will adopt this
suggestion of the SuperiutendeDt, and that Con
gress, recovered from the discrcpitable delusion
which led to the suppression of the returns allud
ed to, will authorize their publication in an appro
priate form.
Mr. Deßaw likewise suggests the establishment
of statistical bureaus by the State Governments
and their encouragement by Congress, so far as to
facilitate their connection with foreign govern
ments.
The Superintendent has in eourso of prepara
tion comparisons between tlie returns now "pub
lislied aud those of former censuses, which, to
gethur with other matter authorized by law, will
foim a Supplementary Koport, which will be ready
during the coining session.

Season cf mist anil yellow fruitfulness.*,
Close bosom friend of the matnriag suit,
Conspit ing with him ho e to load and bteea
With fruit the vines that roan I the thatr It-eaves ran i
To bend with app’ea the mossed cottage trees,
And fid all the f nit with ripeness to the oore;
To swell the gourd, andplu-spthe hazel shell
With a sweet kernel; to set buddiog more.
And still more, later flowtrsfor the bees,
Until they think warm days wiH never cease,
Vor summer has o'erbrimmed their ealmy cells.
Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store ?
Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find
Thee sitting careless on the gra ary floor,
Thy hair soft lifted by the winnowing wind;
Or, in a half-resped furrow, sound asleep,
Drowsed with the fume of poppies, while thy hook
Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers;
And sometimes like a gleamerihou dost keep
Steadily the laden head across a brook,
Or by a cider press, with patient look,
Thou watchest the last oozings hour by hours.
Where are the songs of Spring ! Aye, where are they ?
Think not of them—thou hast thy music, too,
While barred clouds bloom the soft dying day;
And touch the stubble plains with rosy hue;
Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn,
Among the river shallows, borne aloft,
Or singing as the light winds live or dies;
And full grown lambs loud bleat from h lly bourn;
Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft
The red-breast whistles from a garden croft,
And g .'.hiring swallows twitter in the skies.

Thu following account ot tho organization of the
lauious New York Company, (famous tor the ma
ny miHiom) it hits discovered in empty purses,) is
tukou Irom tho Herald of Sunday. The l.st of Di
rectors shows plait ly onough what sort of capital
tho Company depends on to build tho road. It is a
list, with low exceptions, of weather-beaten politi
cians—men of talent, known to tho country, skilled
in tho curious ways of getting appropriation bills
through Congress, and thoroughly indostrinated
in tho art of all artß—the art of humbug. Weox
pect great things from this Company. It will con
trive to absorb about halt tho time ot the
next session of Congress, and if it does not
absorb a like pioportion of the moneys in
the Treasury, it will bo the fault of somebody be
sides tho President and Directors of the Company.
It is very interesting to know, after all the flou
rishes about tho complete subscription of the capi
tal stock, that tho Company have generously
“reserved considerable portions for tho citizens of
other States, who have not yet bad an opportunity
to subscribe!” Such b.nevolence, iu these hard
times, is truly roviving. t’orhaps tlioy would even
sell a little, for a reasonable premium. But we
submit the document:— Charleston Mercury.
The Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company.
—This company, which was chartered by the Legis
lature of New York at its last session, with u capi
tal stock ot otto hundred millions, perfected its
organization, in this city, during the past week.
At a large mooting of tho stockholders, L. S Chat
fluid, tho Attorney Geuerul of this State, was
olected president; F. M. Dimond, tho present
Governor of Rhode Island, vice president; W.
W. Leland, secretary ; A. C. Flagg, tho Comptrol
ler of this city, treasurer, and W. J. McAlpine,
now State Engineer and Surveyor of Now York,
engineer iu chief. The board of directois is com
posed of strong and influential men in different
[tarts of tho Union —among them uro Robert J.
Walker, late Secretary of the Treasury ; Isaac E.
Holmes, now ot California, and long the represen
tative ot tho Charleston District in Congress,
Philip F. Thomas, late Governor of Maryland;
and now Collector of Baltimore ; Anson Jones,
originally a New England man, and President ot
Texas at tho lime of annexation; George Ashmun,
recently a member of Congress from Massachu
setts ; Gen. Green a member cf the late Senate of
California, and formerly a representative in the
Texan Congress, and a general In its army of inde
pendence ; T. Butler Kit g, of Georgia, well
known throughout the Union ; Lieutenant Gover
nor Church of this State ; Caleb S. Woodhull, ex-
Muyor of this city ; Major N. T. Green, a wealthy
and leading railroad man of North Carolina; Col.
Moore, a membor of the Executive Council of
Maine, identified with the railroads of that Stute,
Dr. J. Fowlkes, a large and enterprising capitalist
of Memphis; Wm. Norris, the well known
engine manufacturer of Philadelphia; Alfred
Gilmore, a membor of the last Congress from Penn
sylvania; Gen. Orville Clark, of this State; Mossrs.
Spetman and Wagoner, extensively identified
with tho railroads*? Ohio; Gon. James Luca*, of
St. lK>uis, one of the wealthiest capitalists in tho
West; Edmund T. Bridge, an influential railroad
man of Now Jersey; Dr. Levi Jones, extensively
connected with railroad enterprises in Texas; Ex-
Chancellor Farnsworth, of Michigan; Mr. Under
hill, a leading member of the Alabama Senate;
Col. Ward, of Texas, largely connected with the
railroads of the Southwest.
Having completed its organization, the compauy
will immediately enter upon the great enterprise
of constructing a railway to the Pacific, by the
shortest and most feasible route. Col. A. B. Gray,
au accomplished engineer, well known for hie con
nection with the running of the northeastern
boundary lino—of theboundary lino between Tex
as anil the United Stateß—and who saved to this
country the Meailla Valley, while eugagodin sur
veying the boundary between Mexico and tho
United States, under the recent treaty —he is on
theeve of starting with a competent force to com
plete tho small romaiug poitiou ol tbe surveys of
the compauy, preliminary to fixing tho line of the
road. His report will be ready to lay before Con
gress and tho country at an early days Several
membeisofthe directorship have started forTex
a», Arkansas and Californio, to present the plans
of the company to the Legislatures of those States.
The most nattoriug assurances have been received
from the influential sources in those States, and
large grants of laud to tbo company in aid of its
plans arc confidently anticipated. Though con
siderable portions of the capital stock of the corn
patty hove been subscribed, and assessments paid
in, yet the commissioners who have in charge the
distribution of the stock have reserved consider
able portions for the citizens of other States who
have not yet had an opportunity to subscribe. The
work being national in its character, it is intended
that tho whole country shall have an opportunity
to participate in its prosecution. What aid Con
gross will oxteud to an enterprise so important in
all its bearings, and so eminently adapted to bind
together tho different members ot the confederacy,
remains to be seen. Tbo oompany have establish
ed au office in the city of New York, where all
communications may boaddressed to Mr. Chatfleld,
the President.
Wo find tlio following iu the European corres
pondence of the N. Y. Tribune, received by the
Africa :
“All the reports from Turkey are unanimous os
to the good behavior and discipline of tho Turkish
armies. That of Asia is under the command of
Abdi-Pasha, a native of Circassia, who will soon
try to effect a junction with Bellamy 1. Abd cl-
Kader has been offerod the command of the irreg
ulars, and Seffir Bay, one of tlio Circassian Chiefs
who, several yearn back, escaped from a Russian
prison to Turkey, where lie received a pension
from the Sultan, will likewise be employed iu Asia.
The Mohommedan clergy have placed their trea
sures at the disposition of the Sultan. The Sheriff
of Mecca, the Bey of Tripoli and ail the semi inde
pendent mountaineer tribes iro n Albania !o Kur
distan . how tlio -aim* eiithtu-iuMu un i readiness in
defending tlio Empire. The Armenians and even
the Greeks have waited upon the Porte by depu
tations, offering money for the present crisis, and
the Prince ot Servia has declared that the contin
gent of Ills Province, thirty thousand men, are
ready to take the field, ana to defend the Princi
pality against any inroad, either of the Russians or
Austrians. Such being the case—entirely contrary
to all tho previous statements of the London Times
and of tho shallow politicians in the Cabinets, who
have always represented Turkey as lacking vitali
ty, and held together .only by the protection of
England and France—the Czar wishes to go out of
the scrape as soon as possible, but after bis big
words, he cannot do it without losing all his pres
tige. Austrian mediation has likewise become
stale, but Lord Aberdeen thinks it might now bo
possible to put Prussia into the place of Austria,
and to issue a second edition of tbo Vienna note
from Berlin, where the Emperor of Russia has al
ready prepared the ground for more treacherons
negotiations iu order to gain time. He succeeded
admirably when he transferred the scat of the con
ference from Constantinople, where he dreaded
the cunning Lord Kedclittr, to Vienna, well aware
that Lord Westmoreland, the British Ambassador,
is a blockhead, who does not care for anything but
his fiddle. Ido not doubt that he will succeed
again, and we shall have some new diplomatic
blunders to report from Berlin. Yet no human
power can stay the war longer than till spring,
though it is scarcely credible that it can be delayed
even so long."
Mr. Waleer’s Outfit.—The Philadelphia Penn
sylvanian intimated that Mr. Walker has paid back
the S9OOO he received as an outik 'for the China
mission. As we have supposed an opposite state
of facts to be true, we should bo glad to hear tbe
Pennsylvanian's assertion verified. Though it has
been repeatedly stated that Mr. Walker retained
tbe outfit paid nim we have seen no denial in the
Washington Union or Star. Cannot those papers
ascertain and report the facts in the case ?
Flour Trade of Koch ester.— lt may be of in
terest to those abroad, says the Rochester Union,
who have never visited the floor mills of this city,
tokuow something ot the extent of their opera
tions at this reason of the year. There are 92 runs
of stones in motion here, all engaged in mer
chant grinding. They manufacture daily 7000
barrels of flour, for which they take in 31,000
bushels of wheat, the total value of which is over
$41,000. To putchaee the stock and operate these
mills, oversl,2>)o,ooo are drawn trom the banks
every month.

Water for Washlvsion.— lt affords ns great
gratification to be able to state that to-day ground
was formally broken in the work of constructing
the aqueduct through which the water ia to be
brought from the Great Falla, for the supply of

accompanied by tbe Secretary of War and his pri

Trotting vi. Pacing.—Union Coarse, Rhode Island.
A match for $6,000, play or pay, ten miles out
came off yesterday afternoon, between the 1 rotting
horse Prince, driven by Hiram Woodrutf, and the
pacing horse Hero, driven by George Spicer. Tit
trotter won the race, tho pacer giving up the cun
test at tbc end of the ninth mile.
This iB tho second ton milo rare between tbe-c
celebrated horses, the trotter proving victorious in
bot.i. In tho tirs race, it will be remembered, the
pacer broke down on the Bixth mile, which wa<
caused, it was said a. the time, by his not bei g
quite up to the mark in condition ; but it was tin
speed at which he was forced along in the second,
third, fourth and fifth miles of that lace that fold
the tale—the pace was killing to both; but tin
trotter managed to live the longest, aud won. T‘ e
pacer was driven differently in this race—he trail
od the trotter throughout, going no faster than
was prudent; but with allthe nursing and mauag ■-
meitt of bis skilful driver, his bottom full out when
it was most needed, aud ho came to a stand stiL
after going nine miles.
There was a very largo concourse of people at
the track to witness the raco—probably throe thou
sand— vho went out in every conceivable con
voyanoe, from a six horso omnibus to a butcher’s
cart, and the roads from the ferries to the race
oonrso presented a lively appearance, both goiusr
and returning. Sevoral breakdowns occurred; n
wheel run off a six horse omnibus, whieh was loft (
deserted, the passongers having to look up better
conveyances, while the occupants of others ecru
spilled by their horses running away, or similar
mishaps—ail tending to add to the perils and
pleasures of life on the road. i
The betting on this groat raco was decidedly in i
favor of the trotter, and almost any odds was
givon on him—tho current betting being about a <
hundred to twenty. There was, however, nothing
like the amonnt posted whieh changed hands on
the previous race. Time bets were scarce, the few
made being on twenty-eight and under, which (
were lost. ,
The track was in capital order, no pains being ,
spared to make it as smooth as a ball-room flour ;
and as the weather was udtnirably suited for tho ,
contest, a rapid race was anticipated.
First Mile. —Tho horsca came up very si wly for ,
the word, and were started at about a four minnie ,
gait, the trotter on the inside ; aud before he got |
around the turn the pacer droppod in behiud him,
and when the trotter reached tuo half mile po!o |
time I.Bo—the pacer was abou. two open lengths ,
in the rear, where ho lay until the trotter crossed ,
tho score. Timo 8.01.
Second, Mile.—The trotter sharp ened his gait as j
he left the score, aud drew away from Hero throe |
or four lengths; but finding that tho pacer intend- (
ed to take the matter ousy in tho early stages of ,
the game, he also adopted tlte saving system, and
jogged along a quiet exercising gait. The pacer .
drew closer in coming up the horns stretch, letting
Prince go to the staud about three lengths in front, ,
in 2.52.
Third Mile. —The pacer droppod off again on
leaving the stand, Spicer being determined not to
put him over a 1.50 gait uutil further in the race.
Hiram drew away some halt <loz n lengths on llt«
upper turn, to which Spicer paid no attention,
keeping his horse at ease, well knowing that he \
could make up a few lengths at any time, so long j
as the trotter aid not get~below 2.40. The trotter ,
made this mile in 2 49.
Fourth Mile. —The owtter of Princo now called ,
to Hiram to Bend him along, and he qoiekened ills
pace lor about a quarter of a mile; but finding that ,
the pacer still rctainod his position of about six or
eight lengths behind, he took the*rotter up again,
and ca tne to tho score i n 2.453*.
Fifth Mile. —On leaving the stand, the trotter
dashed off at a rapid rate; and the pacer seemed
also incliucd to loosen himself from the pent tip ,
ait at whicit ho had boon driven, aid he drow a
ttle closer. The trotter went very fast down the
back stretch, passing the half mile point in less
than 1.20, and it was supposed that the struggle
for mastery was about setting in. Spicer, how
ever, kept his position, aud would not be drawn
into a contest. Tho trotter crossed the score this
time in 2 41, abont thirty yards in front, without
appearing in the least distressed. The pacer also
looked fresh, and some otfera of thirty against a
hundred were picked up by the backers of tho
trotter.
Sixth Mile. —The trotter took it more leisurely
around the upper turn this time, and the pacer
kept his distance in the rear, as usual, not going
any nearer than before, and they jogged along
pleasantly, completing the mile in 2.463*.
Seventh Mile— Hiram looked tiko mischief as lie
left the stand, and lie let is horse loose, going to
the quarter pole in thirty eight seconds, and to t> e
half in about 1:18, which brought the pacer tu a
greater exhibition of speed than he had previously
shown. He closed up three or four lengths of the
gap, and appeared so vigorous that hta backer:
began to feel comfortable and talk knowingly of
his powers and speed. Tlte trotter cros-ed the
score in 2:Bs3*.
Kighth Mile —Spicer had now to resort to tho
forcing principle. The pacer was evidently think
ing it about time to stop the fnn, as lie had had
enongh to satisfy any reasonable man that he was
not only a fast horse, but one of extraordinary
bottom; but the trotter was twenty yards ahead,
and going strong and well in hand, and to relax In
the least would amonnt to a back down. Spicer
worked the bit abont in his mouth, and endeavor
ed to liven him in all possible ways; but coming
up to the score, it was palpable that ho could not
hold out much longer. The time of this mile was
2:42>*.
F'mth Mile—The trotter broke away again on
leaving the stand, and passed the qnartcr pole in
thirty-nine seconds and was at the half in 1:18,
and endeavoring to get awayas far as possible from
the pacer; and ne seetnod to have very little trou
ble ill doing so, as the legs of tho latter tsicame
\cry much entangled down tho hacks:t, tch, and
much more ou the lower turn ; and, as ho c»me on
the homestretch, he appeared to he looking for a
hole in the fence to get out at. He had enough—
he was whipped— he knew it—and by the lime his
driver got him to the stand, be was also satisfied
that his chances wore out. The trotter dashed
over the score at the top of Mb speed for the last
and the deciding brash, making this mile in 2:40.
Tenth Mile— The pacer being stopped, Hiram, as
soon as he became aware-of the fact, took up his
horse and came slowly home, amid the Bhouts ot
his fricuds and the winners on the race.

at those places where the theory and art of teach
ing are beat understood, where the qualifications
of teachers are the most rigidly scrutinized, and
when found to be of a high grade are the most
highly appreciated. After the let of March next
most of the teachers in the various public schools
in Boston are to have their pay increased. The
salaries of masters in the Latin and High Schools
will remain as at present, $2400. Masters of the
Grammar Schools are to receive SIBOO per annum,
instead of SISOO, as at present. The salaries of
snb-masters of Grammar Schools will be increased
from $llOO to sl2oo—or SIOOO for the first year’s
service, $llOO for the second, SI2OO for the third
and thereafter. Ushers of the Latin and High
Schools will receive SISOO, instead of SI2OO. The
salary of ushers in the Grammar Schools will be
increased from SBOO to S9OO. Head assistants in
Grammar Schools (females) will receive $450 per
annum, instead ot S4OO, and the present pay of
$350 to female assistants will be changed to S4OO.
The salary of the master of the Normal School is
fixed at $2400 per nnmm.—FathmUt Banner.

London, Wednesday, Nov. 2, 1858.—Tho Times
in a leading article, says “There is no reasons to
doubt, that on the 27th of October, 8,000 Turkish
• infantry and 2,400 cavalry crossed the Danube
and occupied Kalafat, and that a large number of
1 troops were still passing over in barges when this
1 news was despatciied.
i “ The Russians were gathering on tho point at
tacked, aud it was expected that a collision would
take place on the 28th. For tho moment there ia
an end to notes and diplomatic conferences. Omar
Pacha's movement appears the extremity of rash
ness, but he is probably forced to move in order to
I preserve tho authority of his relation to the
troops.” After the ferocity of the hostile nations
has been satisfied by the sangninary offering of a
u>cless and objectives battle, it may perhaps be
possible to reassert tho claims of justice and hu
inanity. Whatever may be the reanlt of this con
test, it cannot alter the duty of tho Western pow-
ers in this emergency.
“ Whether Omar Pacha be successfulor whether
he be driven back, we are equally bound to main
tain rights of Turkey. Let the wargoou as
it will, England and France ean never permit
Russia to reap the fruits of hor duplicity and vio
lence. It will not discharge France and ourselves
trum the duty of preventing these fino countries
from falling under the heavy yoke and grasping
ambition of the Czar. Victors or vanquished, tho
Turks have still tho same right and claim on the
Western Power; and wo do uot doubt,” con
tinues the Times, “ that tho same language will bo
held by them whether the first operation of the
war shall terminate in victory or defeat to our
allys.
“We sincerely trust that the efforts which will
to doubt be employed to light from thiß conflaga
toii the flame of civil discord throughout Europe
may fail of success, nnd that diplomacy may ex
tinguish the fire before it be the means of setting
the oontineutin a blaze.
“ At any rate we shall have the satisfaction of
thinking that no efforts on our part have been
wanting to stem the tide of hostile passions, and if
we are forced at last to enter the conflict oursolves
it will only bo after having used every conceiva
ble means to avoid it.”
The other morning papers contain a dospatch
from Semlin, (obscure) roceived iu Paris, stating
tlm’. 20,000 Turks crossed the Danube on the 2Stli
October, near Widdin, and occupied Kalafat,
which had boon evacuated by the Russians. No
encounter took place.
From the London Times.
Constantinople. Oct. 22d—The Austrian envoy
lias submitted to the Sultan a draft of a noto with
the collective guarouteo of tho four powors. It is
stated that this noto has been accepted by Russia.
On this subject the Times of Novomber 1 has the
following, which wears a mote peaceful aspect. It
is scarcely uecossary to say that it was written be
fore information had been received that tho
Turkish troops had commenced crossing tho
Danube, though alter tho Russian flotilla bad
forced its way up the Danube, as reported by
previous steamer: —
The intelligence of the armistice botween the
Turkish and Russian forces has been substantially
confirmed, and the event appears to be precisely of
thatcharacter which we yesterday delineated. The
interval assigned by Omar Pasha for the evacua
tion of the Dnnubian Principalities was to expire
oil the 24th alt.: but although the reply of Prince
Gortschakoff to the Ottoman summons had been
considered at Constantinople, as equivalent to a
relttsa', tho Porte had consented, st the request of
the Ambassadors of tho Four Powers, to prolong
the term of preliminary peaoe, until this day, the
Ist of November.
We have reason to believe, as we before stated,
that this movement of the European represents-*
fives was not made without well grounded ex
pectations of a benofioial result, and, as the assent
of the Porte to the proposition bespeaks in itself
a desire to avoid extremities, we have good ground
for confidence that this last effort in the cause of
peace will prove successful.
The Times on the Ist of Novomber expresses
the belief that the Turks will make the first move
ment, whioh the above dospatch verifies; and also
says that no doubt the Sultan, having mado formal
declaration of war, to commence on the 24th ulto.,
would probably make some movement on that
day to support that declaration, but tho Times
nevertheless believes, that such movements not
withstanding, the matter will yet admit ot and be
arranged by negotiation.
The morning Chronicle of the Ist has the follow
ing by submarine telegraph:
We do not think it right to withhold the follow
ing telographic despatch, whioh we have receivod
trorn our correspondent at Vienna; but, like him,
wo attached very little credit to it, and regard both
the statements which it contains ns in a high de

meswar states that 26.000 Turks havo crossed the
Danube, and oceupiod Kalafat.
From Orsova, another despatch says that 62,000

menced.
The nows is believed in, although not authenti
cated.
The saute paper has also the annexed :
Vienna, Monday.—Tho tollowing is authentic:
30,000 infantry and 400 cavalry, under tho orders
of Omer Pasha, passed the Danube at Kalafat, on
the 27th inst. A great number more wore in tho
act of passing.

Paris, Tuesday morning, 8 o’clock.—Genoral
Baraguay d’Uilliers is, by a decree in this day’s
Monsieur, appointed Ambassador Extraordinary
and Miuister Plenipotentiary at the Sublime Porte,
in the stead of M. de la Cour, called to other du
ties.
The Shipping Gazette of the evening of that day
referring to tho despatch in the Chronicle says:—
“We publish, in another column, some impor
tant intelligence received this morning from the
East, to tho effect that tho Turks had crossed the
Danube, and that hostilities had actually common
ced. We should not havo attached much impor
tance to tlio report, but wo find it confirmed, in a
very material degree, by two Greek houses in tho
city, who have also received telegraphs of u similar
nature to those of our contemporary, as to the
crossing of the Danube by 90,000 Turkish troops.
On the othor hand, tho accounts from Paris dcs
cribe tho Eastern question to be in a very fair train
of speedy and amicable arrangemou', through tlio
ntervention of the other European Powors.”
On farther examination ot our files we find thut
the Sultan’s orders for postponing hostilities until
the first of November, was to be considered os void
if hostilities hadcommoneed when tho order reach
ed the Turkish commsnder-m-chief.
The Paris correspondent of the London Times
says—
General Baraguay d’Hilliers, whose nomination
to Constantinople I announced some days since,
will set oat forthwith tor his post. The Afoniteur
will no doubt very soon announce his appointment,
and it is probable that his departure will tako place
the same day. He takes with him, I am told, rat ;or
a numerous penunnel and what is not unworthy of
notice, his secretaries and attaches will be all, or
very nearly all, military men, belonging to dilfe
rent arms of servioo and of various grades; in fact,
a regular staff.
There was some difference of opinion in the Ca
binet as to the selection of an Envoy to Constanti
nople, whether be be considered as extraordinary
or as a successor to U. do la Cour—for on this
point I learn there exists seme difference. One in
fluential member of the Ministry inclined to the
selection ot a civilian, or, at all events, of some one
else than the person m question; but the opposite
opinion prevailed, and General Baraguay d’Hilliers
has been accepted and has accepted.
It is true that Baraguay d’Hillers goes in the
character of a diplomatic envoy, and Eis compan
ions as secretaries or uttachee ; but if anything
should occur at Constantinople to require the ser
vices of military men, or should the Porte renew
the application it made some time since of having
some general-officers of tho French army, they win
bo found on the spot instead of having to bo sent
from Paris.
On the wt ole, I regard tho nomination just made
os a fair comment on the note in the Mauittur the
other day; and it may, perhaps, be token asa proof
that French diplomacy in the East has entered in
to a new phase, in conformity with the change the
question itself had undergone.
General Baraguay d’Uilliers is more a military
man than a diplomatist, and it is possible that he
has eeu selected to carry into execution plans that
have already been adopted, rather than to perform
the duties involved in the drawing up of notes and
protocols. lam pretty sure that the Turks at all
events will so understand the mission.
The General it appears, paid a visit this day to
the Turkish Ambassador, and only waits for his
last instructions, or for those which are to be sent
to the two admirals to set out.
Belobade, Oct. 18.
Omar Pasha being informed that the Kussians
had evacuated Kalafat, sent a patrol to that place,
which encountered a detachment ot Don Cossacks.
The two parties were equally seized with a panic,
and each evacuated the place in great disorder.—
The Turks, however came back with fresh forces,
and fortified an island in the vicinity es Widdin.
The Kussians are still concentrating their troops
at Bucharest.
The fleets of Great Britain and France were to

Los nos, Nov. 1, 1853.
The rebound which has been anticipated for
some time past, lias at length occurred in the En
glish funds, and the money market altogether wears
a new aspect. After the experience of the past six
months, during which the improvement of one day
has been invariably followed by an aggravated de
pression on the next, there is, however, a disposi
tion to view the change with caution.
Still there is one influence in operation that can
not be counteracted even by fears of war. namely,
that of a considerable amount of money seeking
investment. The direct cause of the rapid advance
which bus taken place, since the departure of the
last packet, consists in the fact of an armistice of a
week, that is to say, from the 24th of October to
the Ist of November, (this day,) having been con
cluded between the Turkish and Bossion armies,
but the unemployed capital that has for some time
been accumulating on the market is the real source
of the animation observable whenever the slightest
intelligence arrives to give any pretext for confi
dence.
At the last date, consols were quoted at 91%.
At the report of the armistice they advanoed to 98,
and yesterday the upward movement was con
tinued until they reached 94%. From this there
was ouly a slight reaction, the c'osing price being
94. To-day the Stock Exchange is closed, the
transfer book at the Bank being always shut on
the Ist of November, the day upon which the
books of the establishment are balanced. Some
transactions, however, have taken place in consols
at 98%, owing to a report that 30,000 of tho
Turkish troops crossed the Danube on the 27th
instant.
The satisfaction felt at the armistice botween the
troops on the Danube was consequent upon a na
tural inference that a new note of adjustment must
have been prepared, with an understanding that

it isi likely to be acceptable to all parlies, and that
nothing was wanted out the short period of delay
*r® c j Bc 4 to enable a formal sanction to it to be
obtained.
it was mentioned in the last advices that a
strong impression prevailed in Londou of some
favorable intelligence having been recoived, al
though its nature had not in the slightest degree
transpired, and there can be little doubt that it
related to the fresh agreement now being at
tempted.
Toe Russian Ambassador here was known,
several days back, to have said ho was “now oer
tain there would be no war and this statement
was probably made from his knowledge of the new
terms proposod. At the same time, however, it
would not be wise to place too much reliance on
any remark from snch a personage, since the un -
deretanding with regard to tho declarations of
Russian diplomatists amongst people of expe
rience is, that thoy are usually to be read back-
Under existing circumstances the next few days
will be a timo of great anxiety, and as far as the
funds are eoncerned, tho fluctuations may again bo
considorabio.
When tho order for tho armistioe was despatch
ed from Constantinople, it was accompanied by a
condition that it was not to tako effect if, upou it*
arrival at the Turkish camp, hostilities should bo
found to have already oommonood. Until this as.
tornoou, however, the belief was entertained that
there was little danger of such having been the
oase. It ia true that accounts had boon received
several days previously of some Russian steamers
and gun boats having sustained considerable loss
from tho flro of a Turkish fort, but this at the
worst can only, it is tiionght, bo regarded ae an
affair of outposts, and it is not yot ovon quite cer
tain that tho statement of its occurrence is to bo re
lied upon.
Still, there is tho possibility to bo apprehended
that Omar Pasha, who is supposed to be oagor to
oommenco an attaok, may find means to precipi
tate matters so as to cause the armistico to arrive
apparently too late. This is the peril that inva
riably arises when large bodies or fanatical men
aro brought face to faco against oach other.
The stronger tone ot the money market lias slbo
at length been aided by a turn of the weather,
which shows somo indications ot pernmuonco. Tho
last few days have boon all that ooaid be desired,
aud if the improvement should bo maintai red for
u fortnight or three weeks, tho fears regarding a
bad seed time wriKhliVo bcon removed. Mean
while, the grain market remains without altera
tion. There was an active business yesterday, at
former prices, no further advnnco being obtained,
although tho quantity brought to market during
the week was not large eithor of home or foreign.
If the paeifio course of polities Bhould not do
shaken, and any very largo arrivals of wlioat should
tako placo, a decline may fairly bo lookod far, al
though not to any violent extent.
The arrivals of gold within tho last fortnight
havo been very large. Tho quantity from tlio Uni
ted States has been moro than £600,000, wlillo
from Australia it has beon about £1,000,000. The
money market, which was already becoming moro
easy, has of course boon greatly beucfltted. and
discounts can bo obtainod without difficulty ot
tfi or per cent, being one half per cent, below
the Bank ot England rate. Tho Lombard stroot
houses aro indisposed to tako money at call upou
the exiting terms, and altogether tho unxioty
with regard to any further pressure lias groatly
subsided.
Tho papio reportod by tho last arrivals to liavo
occurred iu the Now Y'orkstook market haß caused
groat surprise among tho looksrß on upon this
side, who cannot seo anything but prosperity in
atoio for you from tho European demaud for bread
stuffs, while it is not supposed that tho amount of
American stocks sent over to Now York for salo, in
oonsoquenco of the increasod value of monoy hero,
can liavo beon of sufficient importance to produce
such marked results. It is consequently concluded
that tho movement must havo been mainly promo
tod by speculators, and that tho nows of a rapid
ro action may bo oxpectod.
Throughout England trade ooutinuos in a per
fectly houitliy ttntc, and thero is still a total ab
sence even of the smallest rumor of commercial
distrust in any quarter. Not a siuglo failure is
hoard of, and perhaps there never was a timo in
which so many mouths passed with an entiro free
dom from such events.
Employment is still general and in muny parts
the complaint of a want of hands yet prevails. In
Lancashire thero are moro than 70,000 operatives
out ot employ, but this is simply a consequence of
their own inconsiderate condnot. An advance of
10 por cent, in their wages having been conceded
to them, they soon demanded another inoreaso of
like amount and gave notice ot a strike, if It were
refosod.
Tho state of tho market would not warrant tho
manufacturers in complying, and rather than sub
mit to claims so unreasonable, which, if grunted,
might only havo boon tho signal for fresh ones,
Thoy resolved to got the start of the men by shut
ting up their mills and dismissing them. This
oossation of production happening at a time when
lolitical and tlaanoia! difficulties were increasing,
jus proved most opportuno in proventing tho fall
in the prioes of goods that mußt otherwise have
taken place.
Tho course adopted by tho mill-owners had be
como essential in self-defonco, and is similar to
that which was adoptod by tho onginocring ffirms
in London two or throo yours back with completo
success. Tho plan of the operatives, through their
trades-onions has been not to striko in|»ia.«e«, but
for tho workmen at individual mills to eommence
tho process. They thus compelled the mill owner
particularly seleotod to accede to their terms, be
cause being supported by contributions from the
great body who remained at work elsewhero, thoy
oould hold oat any length of lime.
Ae soon as triumph was gained in ono caso, an
other mill was selected, and in this way all tho
firms were oonqnercd in detail. To prevont this
tlie employers have combined ip. turn, by all agree
ing to shut thoir mills at the sometime, and thns
cutting off the funds, which, under other eiroum
staucoH, the employed operatives oould give to
those who were un-employed. Tho romody on the
principle of like cures like is thus perfect, combi
nation being cured by anothor combination, not of
an identical, but of an analogous description.

Shipwreck.— Two hundred and fifty Lives Lost.
—Letters from the overland muil convey intelli
gence of the lamentable wreck of a British ship,
supposed to be the Lady Evelyn, and a fearful
sacrifice of life. She was a fine vessel recently
built, 748 tons burthen, commanded by Cupt.
M’Lellan, and was tho property of Messrs. Her
ring, of Liverpool.
On her last voyage from England she was
bound to Port Philip, and on her arrival there she
was taken up for a run to Calcutta and China.
Sho was then chartered for the conveyance of 250
Chin- so emigrants to San Francisco, and departed
in every apparent safety with her living freight.
The catastrophe is reported to have occurrod on
the night of the 20tb July on oneof tho cluster of
islands known as Typongson, in tho Eastern or
China Sea, situate some 14 miles west of Loo
Choo. She quickly went to pieces, and we regret
to add that out of 290 souls who were on board
including the crow, only six European sailors and
20 Chinamen were saved. The advices furnish no
further intelligence. The ship wasinsured.
Intelligence lias been received of the steamship
Great Britain, from Liverpool for Australia, which

by the lanthe, arrived at Cqrk, from Buenos Ayres.
She had no steam up, but wus making way under

Desthcotion op an Australian Suir by Gun

Princess Victoria, while on her voyoge from Lon

covered to be on fire, and, having as many as 400
barrels of gunpowder stowed away in her hold,
the crew, as may be imagined, were seized with
considerable alarm, and at once took to the boats
and succeeded in getting beyond the reach of
danger, when the explosion took place, shivering
tho ship into atoms.
Forturaiely, a ship was attracted to the spot by
the intense light of the explosion and picked up
the crew in the boats, who were landed at Mel

warded to tho Mint for coinage, where it was as
certained that two of the boxes were filled with
bullets and shot—an adroit robbery having been
effected, prbbubly while the boxos wore in transitu.

the spurious boxos wero a trifle larger, and that

Tho New York Herald, under the caption of ,
“wonderful improvements In the newspaper
press,” says:
We have been engaged for some weeks p;st in
examining some improvements in the now-paper
press which aro almost miraculous, and arc hardly
to be believed without actual demonstration.
Thcsoimprovemcnts comprehend—first, a new pro
cess in paper making; second, s new system of
type making, or stereotyping; third, a new prin
ciple in the construction of the printing press. All
these improvements aro in such a stale of forward
ness as to put thoir success beyond the possibility
of doubt, while they present aggregate results
which are perfectly astonishing, even in the pres
ent advanced state of practical science and skill.
With the application of these three improve
ments in tho manufacture of newspapers we will
bo enabled actually to print and issue—with less
expenditure of capital than we now have to employ
—at Uatt one hundred thousand sheets per hour.
This miraculous issue of -u hundred thonsand
sheets in an hour, may appear impracticable and
impossible, but wo hsve tho strongest confidence,
derived from our own examination of these im
provements, that in tho coarse ol six or nine
months, we will bo actually enabled to exhibit
this pieco of enterprise in the issue of the New
York Herald.
It is no idle or visionary project. Wc cannot
moro particularly specify matters at the present
moment; but take the statement wo have already
made os the basis of future operations, and it will
enable us to establish an original journal on the
plan of the Herald—and on our own capital—not
only at Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Boston, but
also to establish subsidiary journals commensurate
with the population of towns of such magnitude
as Washington, Riobmoud, Cincinnati, Bt. Louis,
Detroit and Buffalo. Wo aro convinced that we
are only in the first stage ot the development
of the newspaper press, as applied to the social,
commercial, and political, uffiiirs of s great repub
lic like that of the United States.
