THE S1IHHEE.
We think that all who have subscribed
for, or borrowed and read this journal
for tbe last year, will bear us out in tba
statement that we hev* made a good pa
per. Wo have lost money entry month in
doing this, and wa did not complain, be
cause we felt that every subscriber, not
borrower, for borrowers have neither
money nor brain*, was doing bi* or her
best to make, by appreciation, this jour
nal a success. We lost from the first
day. Our business bss been lorn from tbe
start, and continuously. We have loat
thousands of dollars by men who took our
paper, read it and refuaed to pay when
we wonted money. Were we very wealthy
wo would continue, but there ia * limit to
our moans, and we think snbsoribem and
borrowers should pay for onr paper. We
hoped after buying the Nun to increase
the size of this journal, bat we find that
subscription and advertising have fallen
off since then. We received, last week,
two letters saying that our loss and onr
troubles are attributable to the (sot
that we choose to be Yankees. We do
not belive this, and were it trne we would
not change it—for we acme Booth to win,
end only e Divine interpoaition will pre
vent onr doing to. Frudenoe, however,
calls on us to trim sails end make our
expenditures nearer to onr reoeipta.
Hereafter the Suanxi Enquiskb-Sum will
be tbe size of the present doily, and on
end after the let of May the daily will be
out down four columns. Those who have
paid in advanoe, can have their money
btok, if it doea not suit. Wa think it bet
ter to have a ainall paper filled to the six*
of Oolnmbus, rather than publish a paper
with the pretensions of a city vf enter
prise, when we have to advertise five col
umns “To Let." We have too many old
fogies—“foasila,” aome would oall them ;
so do wo—and when they die, aa aome of
them soon will, thank Heaven, we will fill
up with pleasure their obituaries in the
blank spaoes—some of the notioea are
written end laid by.
We shall try to make tha smaller paper
as uowsy as ever; and if we oannot keep
it up, we propoao to make it en exponent
of Columbus, if we have to cut it down
to the Bize of a postage stamp. So long
aa we publish it, however, it will be filled
with nows, aud so thoroughly indepen
dent that, as heretofore, cowards, drunk

OBSERVATIONS FROM THE MOON,
NO. a.
Well, Mr. Editor, “Monsieur Tonaon
has come again, ” and as many think (per
haps yourself among them) he does not
etund upon the order of hia ooming. He
just throats his nose (and his fingers) im
pertinently into othor folks' business at
snch regular and stated intervals, tbst
many expect him as a periodic pest, and
would willingly, us in oase of a obill or an
aguo, take oomething to guard against bia
return and break him of hia egotiatio
scribbling. But you must not expect to
rid yourselves of the old curmudgeon that
runs this Moon,for a long season to come;
for when you think ha ia in the last ego.
nies, and is noar dissolution—when you
already breathe more freely, as ia custo
mary upon the happy riddanoe of a bore,
be oomes liko his planet in a form whioh
you are compelled to acoept as new, no
matter in reality how old. The case
stands simply thus:
You all know it as and old saying and a
truo one, that what is onoe granted aa a
favor beoouies by usage to be demanded
as a right; aud if suoh be the faot in its
application to your part of the universe,
why, niuoli more, ought it to be predica
ted of one, who, as ha admits, may have
been spoiled by tba absence of a solitary
soul hero to oontest his assumptions
Well, then, as I said on u former round,
it boing admitted that I am the only per
son bore, it’s natural that I should seek to
•nlargo my phylacteries, and think my
self capable of managing the affairs of
othor worlds. Now laugh just sb much as
you pleaso at the Man in tbe Mooo for
his self-constituted appointment as public
censer. Whether he docs in fact exercise
tbe functions, is not material; it answers
hia purpose if be thinks so; aud he ia juat
as complacent in the thought, as the In
dian chiof you hare read about, who after
bis frugal meal of herbs was wont to Btep
out of bis wigwam, point out to, and in
struct Ihe Sun aa to the course be must
take for the day, and then in the sound
ing of a horn inform all the lesser princes
aud potentates of earth that they
would now bo permitted to Bit down and
aatl
It may be, however, that in tha oourse
of time these claims (mine, not the In-
dian’s,) shall be deferentially considered,
for the Man in tbe Moon ia on such fine
terms with that gentleman, and so highly
estimates his own productions, that he
oan searoe oouoeive a continuing olash be-
twoui the public and hiuaaelf. He hopes
to become in the end (if not before) e wel-
ootue visitor; and confidently counts that
eveu if weary to exoesa and for tbe mo
ment outraged by the never oeasing intre
pidity of his iupudenoe, you bid him, be
gone, from the columns df your city dai
ly. You will expect him, nevertheless, to
understand it in a Sanaa pnrely Piokwiok-
iau, and like that intended by the young
lady who waa seen to slap hor lover with
her fan for bia gaiety and impertinanee
before oompany, and heard to order him
from hor presence, but who took espeoial
care to pull l.iui gently by the sleeve every
time he attempted to take himself away.
In Bhort, the Man in the Moon expeoto
you to feel if you do not say to him:
In alt thy humon whether grave or mallow,
Thou'rt ouch a pleaaaut. touchy, tatty fallow,
Bath ao much truth uni mirth aul ipleau about
thco,
Them to uo liviux with thee—nor without thee.
Now who oan fail to see, that all thi*
mode of thought leads me to talk fraaiy
to yon (for I'm not near through yet)
about the'genaral and particular vain* of
iaapudaacu, or aaaurane*—to US* o most
courtly phrasal Ah, wall, yon aay, the
Man in tba Moon has at laat removed tea
rubbish and the debris, w* nnugral
him (or Ithw eataelxoa) that ba is aboot
to loy the foundation of hi* stmotnre—
that ho ia at teat to bia snhjaut. Don't be
too fast nor nekon without your boot
neither. I do thing* in my own way—
you've been told that before. The Man
in lb* Moon, in ooming to the point, is
like certain Indian tribes in hunting
game. They oollect in Urge numbers
where gam* is abundant, and form in a
oircle around a larg* area. Than moving
round and round they contract the diam
eter of the drcl* until the game, aur-
rounded aad iaeludad in a small space,
becomes an easy pray. Tha Man io> the
Moon of oourse travels in a circuit und
1 dure say—hia readers being the judges,
the analogy between hte plan and that of
the Indian tribes, fails in this, that while
they do Hally reach a certain point, he
nevar does.
Ideteanttd at considerable length on
ly test round upon tha general necessity
for Ur* human rao* to bestir themselves
unoaasingly, aa a condition precedent to
raooem In every calling; and let it be
also known to sublunary people that no
ipital yields ao constant an increase as
wall-timed impudanoe. Of course, a
given quantum of brains must back it;
otherwise, tba whole machinery of the
man will lack its proper balance.wheel
and will ultimately run itself to pieces.
It must not ba of that kind which the
poet described when he said ‘ fools rush
in where angola fear to tread”—it must
have due regard to Him, pteoe and oir-
oumitanoa; mutt “strike wbil* tha iron
te hot,” and most not take Oliver Crom
well's risk of making the iron hot by strik-
ing.
If you era a Doctor, whan tbe ocoasion
te opportune “throw to the dogs” at least
that physio which has not been prescribed
by yonnelf. At one time stroke your
ebin, and exhibit outwardly that innate
wisdom that knows when to be taciturn;
ut another, shoot off tbe whole dispensa
tory at your rabjeet, wrap him bead and
heels in tbe technical clothing of the pro
fession, and make ell present think that
TEieulapitu himself waa'but a quack in
comparison.
If a lawyer, whan eiroumstances sug
gest it, prononnoa Coke a granny, Hale a
fanatio, Blackstone a fool—aad always as
sart your adversary’s innocence of the
law, or at leaat sot it ao that it will be
readily perceived by (he bystanders.
If a tradesman, pnff your business, and
make it stick out, without saying so in
words, that your rival aoross tha way and
your next door neighbors are little better
than lioenaed robbers that prey on the
public. In fine, whenever it is necessary,
whatever may be yonr calling, to join in
the ery, “Greet is Diana of the Ephe
sians"—let it ba ever understood that
yonr place of business ia tha goddess’
temple.
Now, don't quit me in disgust—keep
your seat. Listen patiently to an anec
dote that illustrates an asanrance that
knew when to assert itself, and I will thou
promise to leave yon—for tbe present.
The conversation turned with a group of
men upon the aubjeotof war and soldiers.
A man of well-balanoed assurance, sug
gested tbe good judgment of tba First
Napoleon, who, aa tbs speaker asserted,
carried to Moaeow site hundred thousand
men, all measured and weighed, the min-
irnnm being six feet in stockings and one
hundred and seventy-five avoirdupois. A
generally modest man present, was rather
brought up on this statement, end ques
tioned whether ao largo a number—two
hundred thousand higher than the moBt
approved estimates—oould have been
found among even thirty millions of
people known to be of smaller stature
than the Anglo-Saxon race. “Ah !" says
tha first, in no wise daunted by the doubt,
“the French as yon now sea them are
indeed a small, short people, and the
reason te apparent—tbe large breed were
all killed out in Napoleon’s wars, and tbe
present rase ia dwarfed in consequence!"
Among the others present, none of whom
knew anything abont it, there passed
aroand an evident chuekle over the dis-
oomfiture of the modest man, who hung
bis head and accepted the situation—
which you all must now do nntil it is
presented in another aapeot by
Tnx Man in the Moon.

Bank.
The Seeretary of tbe Treasury sent to
the Honae e report of the Bank Examiner
(Meigs) upon the condition of tha Freed
man's Bank and ita branches in various
cities of tbe North and South. The lia
bilities of the inetitution, including those
of its branches, are $8,888,896. Ita re
sources are $3,181,008, of whioh $106,-
500 are donbtful debts. There is a dis
crepancy between the deposit books and
the general ledger of about $400,000, but
the Examiner thinks it the result of care
lessness in currying accounts forward and
opening different aeoonnts.
The by-lawa were amended on January
1st of the present year aa to all of the
depositors. Only anoh interest as the
profits of the institution will furnish is
warranted. The examiner says that de
positors will exercise reasonable forbaar-
anoo for six or twelve months. Under
the rogulatiuaB,it will give the institution
opportunity to recuperate from the mis
fortunes of tbe past, and add largely to
the safety of depositors.
