CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL.
~7 AUGUSTA.
Monday Morning, Feb. 6.
Yesterday and the day before were two of the
coldest, if not the very coldest days we have had
this winter.
The Express Mail failed yesterday to bring
our usual supply of slips. Wo do not wonder
that man and horse should both fail such weath
er as Saturday night.

The letter adds “before this reaches you the

The editors of Virginia recently held a ern
vcnlion at Richmond, at which the following re
port on subscription to Newspapers, from the pen
of Mr. Rutus, editor of the Farmer’s Register
was adopted. There is no class of business men
in the world more imposed upon than Editors,
and our own experience bears full testimony lo
the truib of every lille litis '■report. It is not
uufrequent that men, and men of pecuniary abili
ty too, take a newspaper lor years without pay.

state, leaving the Post Master lo inform the Edi
tor that his paper is not taken out of the office.
It is a crying injustice and one for which, to far
as wc aic concerned, we intend to Jcvito a renie
dy.
Mr. Rufus from the committee appointed
yesterday, under the Ist resolution, presented
a Report and Resolutions, which after some
I debate and amendment, were adopted in the
! following form:
The Committee to whom was referred the
subject of the relations of publishers and
their subscribers, with instructions to report
the existing evils, and to propose suitable
remedies, submit llieir views in the follow
report, winch, with the resolutions annexed,
they rccdmi'Adff;! t-y be adopted by the (Jott
voiilioti.
It has long been generally understand and
admitted, that the arduous labors and large
cxuetulitures requisite for publishing nowspa
peri-and other periodica s, have been paid fur
by the subscribers, on the general average,
with less punctuality and certainly, and with
more abatement of the just amount, by par
tial dr total losses ol dues, and by the cost ol
postage and ot commissions, and other ex
penses of collections, than in any other trace
or business of importance and access ty to
the public.—Tne principal causes of the
greater losses sustained in this brunch of in
dustry, are presented in the following circum
stances.
D Ifercnt from every other kind of business
the furnishing of newspapers and magazines
lo those who subscribe lor them, is done (m
thiscbanlry) almost woolly on credit—ami,
lodrcovet, the debts so incurred, are for very
tffiall sums, due from hundreds or thousands
of dilferent individuals; remotely located and
widely dispersed—who are, tor the far great
er number, altogether unknown to their cre
ditor, and wire, therefore, of course, are final,
ly often tomul tube entuely irresponsible tor
such obligations. Tito magnitude of these
causes ot loss has not been appreciated, and
scarcely can be properly appreciated, by any
except those who have sulfered ihe conse
ouetil injuries. Rut, it n he but supposed
that any other business—no matter in what
department of industry, and though now it he
among the most prosperous and profitable—
-8 weft placed on the like footing, us to the
S small amount of each customer’s annual pur-
I chases, the great number and small amount
I of the debts so made; and the general absence
( of any real accountability of tbe debtors, or ol
n the means of enforcing payments—then it
I will be readily understood and conceded, that
I the previous prosperous and sale condition ot
1 the supposed business, would bo speedily amt
a cerlgmly changed lo loss; embairassmeui;
and dually to bankruptcy.
Owing to such causes, lire heretofore usual
and average losses ot s .bsenptiou money
sustained ill conducting newspapers,and oth
er periodical publications, have not been less
titan one fourth of the whole amounts sub
scribed and legally due. Many publications,
iVvitb subscr.puoti lists promising lair prolits,
Imvu lo t much more tnan a fourth. Ret tins
former and usual rate of loss, has been greatly
augmented by tbe recently produced, and
stili ex stuig disordered state of the currency,
and general depreciation of bank paper, and
the pecuniary embarrasmenla of the country
in general. Every trade, and indeed every
siidtviiluai, Ira.- sustained enough ol I he current,
cy, to form some conception ol the enormous
addition o! loss that it must make to what
ever was bo fur l .' imposed on printers and pub
-13 imhers of periodicals. The greab r and irrega
t-Jiir depreciation, within tins State, if il.e
i'-l Rank paper of most other .Sta’ea, lias opposed
HI a new and considerable diriicuky in making
H payments lor subscriptions, even to the must
■ p unctual and eoiiev.tnt;ouf us rcmeic >1- i tc*r -1
, —... , » 1 .
anil il iius lunlisheil a plausible excuse tor
delay and failnre of payments, winclt lias
been fully availed of by many of a different
character.
, Tiiegenaral credit system which lias been
, established in the printing business, and the
r long extensions of time for winch debts lor
■1 subscriptions have been permitted to remain
unsettled, and \Vilholn the debtors be ng even
heard from, have served to give importance
and great increase to another class of losses.
Many poslmasletf, alike disregarding the re
quisition ot the law and the instructions under
which they act, their oath of office, and the
plainest moral obligations, suffer publications
s to be sent 'o tlieir respective Post Offices
1 for times of considerable length, and some
times even tor years together, directed to
persons who have moved away, or are dead,
; or who otherwise fail or refuse to take the
r numbers sent to them. In . any eases a sub
scriber is tlius made, by the misconduct of
the Postmaster, to appear to he an unfaithful,
or fraudulent debtor, when, in fiicf, he bus
been guilty ot no fault, sivo the carelessness
of trusting to a Postmaster to discontinue Ins
subscription,who lads to do so—- ir afterwards
- to give to Inc publisher iho proper legal no
, titc, strictly enjoined in every caso ot a pub
, lieation bemg addressed to a person who re-
I fuses to tails to lake it from the office. Vvhtft
j out such notice, and under the existing l.ix
credit system in ail such cases, the journal la
columned to he sent, anil it ;s only perhaps,
. after one or two years, that the publisher
. learns, by chance, nr by a tardy notification
from the delinquent Postmaster, or hta suc
cessor in office, that lie has been so long cle-
I traudeu of his labor and property, mid has no
; means of redress wor.ii resorting lor ii. foro
the discovery is made, perhaps the supposed
j, (and unconscious) debtor bis been lung a re
sident til a distant ..state, or is dead—and even
the Post Uilico directed to, miy have long
5 been discontinued, and the continuation ot
the ncjleet or Iraud he then carrying on at
1 some, other place, and by another person.
Many of the loss s incurred belong to, and
mo inseparable from, the business of pub
lishing journals o i subscriptions. But there
me many others which may be mitigated il
not entirely guarded against. Among the
, causes ol loss the most important and iiijun
. oils is the very blainablu and absurd facility
with which publishers have periinticd debts
tor subscriptions to be contracted by remote
. and unknown individuals, and to remain due
for years before payment is made—if ever,
an universal in this trade, has become this
1 loose system of giving and continuing creJ
r its, that no one publisher could adopt a dit
i lerent and proper course, Without giving
offence tit, and loosing the support ot, many
t subscribers who arc both honorable in conduct
and responsible in estate. And as no single
publisher has dared to commence urelurniu
• ton ot the general bad usage, all have aided-,
lo t'dfabiisli, by tlie.r excess of indulgence, a
mode of carrying on tlieir business winch all
deemed injurious to their interests, and which
every considerate subscriber would admit io
' be improper and excusable, in every point ol
view. To remedy these evtis, in some
measure, the following regu atioiis are pro
posed:
1. All subscriptions shall hereafter be cm J
sidored as incurred and due in advance, aou
fora year’s publication, unless specially or
dered for a shorter lime, and pa.d for in ad
vance lor tnat shorter t inn, when so ordered.
2. Au pnblic.it on shall be sent io the order
ofajiy new and uni nown subscriber, unless
paid lur in advance; or s itismetury reference
be unite to some known and access.bio per
son in regard to the subscriber or. his pay
ment. But, in cause ul an order tor a pub
lication, with out payment', I'm in a new sub
scriber who is unacquainted with the condi
tions, a single number may be sent, contain
ing, or accompanied by, a copy u: lii a regula
tion.
3. The names of all subscribes whose abili
ty to pay may be unknown to the publisher',
and who may remain indebted on open ac
count at the end of two years, from the time
when the advanced payment was due, shad
be erased from the list of subscribers.

Great expectations had been fomied ot the move

framed last May when the suspension act passed,
ought to convince any man of the evils of small
hanks, ft is notorious that ail the cri.is in En-
I gland have been brought about by the Joint
, Wtdck Banks orßanks of small capitals. It is
not in the nature of a small amount of capital to
realize a living profit, without the combination
of productive labor. Large caj Hals, and they
• alone, like a huge spovv bull, possess ilie capacity
: of gathering largo musses of profit, when rolled
across the field ut trade. This opinion in gain

’ Hence a deep routed objection to the proposed

spring up under such a statute, and cause greater
I evils than ever. If the western members can

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3U, 1837.
The Pre-Emption Bill has at last passed the
Senate, after a contest of great keenness and in
terest. The session was prolonged to six o’clock
in the evening; when the final vote was taken,
and in a quorum of forty-eight Senators, there
was found to io thirty for the Bill, and eighteen
against it.
The debate was commenced to-day by Judge
WHITE of Term , who spoke w ith great intelli
gence on the subject, and urged with strenuous
ness the importance ol il, to the general interests
of the West,
He was followed by Mr. WALKED of Miss.,
wht) busied himself chiefly with replying to Mi.
Olay.
His remarks called up the distinguished Sena
tor from Kentucky again, who maintained his
ground gallantly, and with unabated spirit. He
inveighed strongly against tho measure as sanc
tioning the most gross and flagrant violations of
law, and rewarding encroachments on the public
property. Hu dwelt at length on the assumption,
that it would he impossible to execute the law,
against those intruders; and contended that it was
perfectly practicable. Ho declared moreover,
that had the Piosident done his duly, ai d execu
ted the law, these squatters would not have accu
mulated as they have.
There was quite an amusing dialogue in the
course of the day, between Mr. Clay and Mr.
Walker. Mr. C. asked where is this pre-emp
tion to end ! There is a Wiiitb House in this
city, occupied by a very little mart; Now, sup
pose a squatter should intrude into the East
Room, under the notion that a portion of (hat
splendid apartment is sufficient for the accommo
dation of a man of the President's dimensions!
This, ho contended, would not ho a worse case
than lho-e provided for, anil rewarded by tho Bill.
He added his belief, that the President would not
he so lonesome in these latter and trying limes,
if some of the honest fellows tu'ogw.ed so highly
in the Senate, would bo allowed to play the pait
of sociable companions to the President,
Mr. WALKER said that he did not know
before that the while house was up at auction!
| lie certainly believe that there had been but unc
I soil alter in that house, unit he was there against
I i/ tC wishes of the people! (A hard hit this at

it Mr. CLAY, alter a lew remarks, said that iu
. I re"srd t.) the occupancy of the white house, he
j had been in it lately, and found very few of tho

sented a mcmoiial from Ofailoston, praying fur
ther aid ot the government to the completion of

ton, S. (d,, which was referred, to the post office
committee, Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Preston spoke
. of the advantages which this.fond would present
l for expediting the great, southern mail; and rep
. resented the extreme sluggishness with which
| that mail is now conveyed; and the frequent tm
neerssary delays it meets with on the route.
. They both ashed the most careful attention ol
t the committee to tho snhjoet.
! Tiro Secretary of tho Treasuay transmitted a
re;iort in reply to the call of Mr. Webstar for in
, forinatioir in reference to the payment of pensions
- and fisherman’s homilies in notes of tlio Com
monwealth Hank of Boston. ’l’ho Secretary
ami his nthordinales go on the ground that the
payments in the notes of the broken pet weio
voluntaiily received.
Mr. WEBSTER pre.u'nlprl an affidavit of a
rnernhor ol tho .uassrte.hu-mlis I-gisialuro to show
that these notes were not taken voluntarily; hut
on the contrary were forced upon the pensioners
and recipient* of tho government bounties;
contrary to their wishes, demands, and instruc
tions. Tho Secretary’s report, and tho affidavit
were ordered to he printed; and Mr Wehsiorsaid
he would at a future d, y make a motion in re
ference to l .cm.
do the House, th« Mississippi Flection case
was the principal business; Mr. l.egaro made
the only able speech which has yet been made
in support of the silling members, Ilia taste
and genius, however, were not so signally dis
played on this occasion as nt other times.
Mr. EVANS of Maine, made a coflent reply to
him, and tho speeches ol Messrs. Foster, Hron
son, and Pnnnyhackcr.
Mr. CUSHMAN then moved the previous
question : hut withdrew the call, on the roinon
etnmeo of Mr. Wire, who said Mr. Prentiss
wished to reply.
Thai gentleman then look the floor, but tho
hour being late, f;e gave way to a motion lo ad
