THE NEVADA JOURNAL. SRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 27th, 160. . C—O Charlesten Convention, Tats body assembled in Charleston on Monday last, and probably at the date of this writing the unwashed groundlings are making themselves hearse with hoorahs for the victorious nomittee, and numberless negroes, it may be, from behind cotton bales look on in astonishment not having the gleam of an idea what all the noise is about. Perhaps the excitement, like that in a camp meeting, may be infectious, and these selfsame negroes wititout knowing why may jeia in the jubilee. While all this sound and fury $s going on in the Palmetto State, we are keeping wonderfully quiet here—as quiet at least as might be expected under the circumistances. We, Administration men, eonteat ourselves as best we may, thaking pteiessions of unalterab’e fealty to the party, and if ever caught discussing politics, We are found to confine ourselves to general principles, with an extra oath how and then against the Black Republitans. The fact is we rather fear Douglas is nominated, and would rather be in a transition state, preparatory to any emergency, Miss Mutison’s Lectures. We attended the first lecture of Miss Munson at the Theatreon Sunday last “What is Man,” was the theme of a discourst an hour anda half in length. The fait lect. rer appeared ohthe stage at the appointed . hour, passed into the trance state in a few moments, and with closed eyes proceeded . to deliver an address couched in fine lan. guage and replete with science and atgument. The lecture was, to say the least, a_ goodone. The theory advanced was similar to that in the “Vestiges of Creation,” in some respects. Any event which shal! provoke discussion is not without benefit to the human mind. The novelty of the entertainment afforded . by Miss Munson attracts an audience, induces thought and must redound to the advantage of the public, whatever may be said of the doctrines advanced or the man. ner in which they are taught. The bigoted . and intolerant will listen to no new creed, nor countenance anything out of the old, . beaten track in which their fathers started . them on the journey of life. The man of . liberalized ideas will prenounce nothing a} humbug which comes fairly endorsed, until . after investigation. We have witnessed some of the so-called . Tue Wagon Ruap Brit Lost.—The bill to appropriate $50,0¢0 for the benefit of the Placerville route was called up in the House on Tuesday: Several amendments were of. For the Journal. . Mu.

The bill was lost. Nir. Conness gave notice that on the fol. lowing dey he would move a reconsideration . ; of the vote just had. There is a chance still of the bill going to the Governor. Aw Exproning Party.—A party of ten men and twenty animals from San Francisco . under the charge of Capt. R. Leonard, passed through town yesterday, on their . way to Western Utah. The party is fitted out with six months provisiens, and have with them surveying instruments, chemi. cals and complete assaying apparatus.

But, like the man who ate a-erow seasoned with Scotch snuff, on a bet, we can eat crow, but we'll be derned if we hanker after it. We, Douglas men, however, do not feel as easy as we might. satisfied they are what they purport to be. . We are by no means prepared to say these . . phenomena are produced primarily by the . plorations for the precious metals about one . hundred miles east of Virginia City, extending their observations north to some dist.

The Grass Valley Na. stuck out for principle how are we going to support an Administration nominee whose course, we think, bas been outrageously in violation of principle anddecency. There's the rub. The name of the party is a dear one, and we are more than half inclined to imitate the boy who clung to a jack-knife in remembrance of the donor, his grandmother, till it had three new blades and as . many new handles. We know a rose by another name is just as sweet. Principles re principles, and right is right wherever . seen. Still, old associations almost persuade us to cherish the form without the substance. The Democratic party is broken in pieces, but You may shatter the vase if you will, The scent of the thing remains round it still, he inculeates very good morals, and if the Christian world be any judge, very whole; some doctrines in the main. Indeed we are . ataloss to know the cause of the enmity existing against spiritualists by the clergy. . . Ministers have been preaching since the . . time of Christ, and exhorting unbelievers to become members of ehurches, believe in the scriptures, and conform their lives to scrip. . ture requirements. During near twenty . . centuries but little progress has been made. . . A large majority of mankind in most civil . ized countries are not members of churches, . . and, if our reverend brothers are correct in their assertions, on the road to perdition on . account of unbelief.

BGS” The Democrat denies that Jef Davis. Brown and Alex. Stephens are representative men of the Democratic party of to-day, . and asserts that Douglas is, being the choice of three-fourths of the Democratic voters of the Union. The Democrat is drawing largely on its own imagination—a thing it charges us with doing. For, if Douglas is the choice . of three-fourths of the Democratic yoters . why bas he not more than one-half the delegates in the Charleston Convention secur. ed to him, and why do all Douglas men fear the two-thirds rule? pocus somewhere if Douglas is euchred at Charleston, if the assertions of the Demo-. trat be true. Either the Democratic masses did not think well enough of their great . leader to turn out at the primary meetings, . the ballot-boxes have been corrupted, or . men elected as Douglas delegates are proving treacherous if he has no more positive . strength than the Democrat gives him. . Douglas being the choice of three-fourths . of the voters of the party, if that party is . properly represented at Charleston, he has . nothing to fear from the two-thirds rule. The editor of the Democrat must too be aware that there are thousands upon thousands of Democratic voters who despise the . course of Douglas, have and do condemn Kim asa renegade from the faith anda } breeder of dissensions, whose attachment . to the party name is so great that seeing . searcely a hope of electing any Democrat, they are forced to concede the necessity of . hominating Douglas. Fairly considered he {s their last choice, and in times of party . unity and strength his chances of obtaining their favor would be about equal to a mu-. tilated feline in the great reservoir of cal-. ofic we read of. ProcrastinaTion.--The Sacramento Unicn . of Wednesday has some very judicious re. marks on the practice of crowding import. ant bills into the last hours of a session.— It will be found on examination that a majority of ill digested laws, and those bills commonly denominated stealing bills, are . passed during the hurry and excitement of . the closing hours of a legislative session. . The practice should be thecked in some manner, and speedily. The State has suf. fered enough from it already. Important . bills are often held back by the laziness or . design of a committee till the last moment . and then reported with amendments which . are well but unharmonious with the re-. mainder of the bill. The friends of the bill, the well disposed members of the body, . rally to perfect it, and while engaged, an } an interested party calls up a swindling con.

Jesus Christ. Itseems to us that the clergy . should hail the advent of Spiritualism with . . joy, as a coadjutor in a great work, since, . . judging from the past, there are powers to . subdue beyond their reach. What boots it, . . we ask, by what process a soul is brought . to recognize the existence of its God, to see the evil effects of sin and the reward of virjtue? Is it not better that another reaper . should enter the field when nearly the entire . Or de our reverend friends object to some crop of souls is going to destruction? truths unless all are aecepted, and by one mode and that mode theirs? . We are teld the Spiritualists must be ctedulous to believe what they do. We are . . ineredulens, we sre free to confess. and, . perhaps, too prone te be skeptical on all . . questions not demonstrable to the senses. . . But we cannot see why any greater credu. lity is necessary to believe a being may hold i communion with the spirit world in the . present age than is requisite to believe the . If there ever lived a prophet in the days we read of, the evidence, except to the eye of faith, is It only exists in the form of wri. tings, while before the Spiritualist stands periments, is insensible to pain, whose con. sciousness is seemingly extinct, and whose . . language commends itself to their understanding and judgment. This beingin a natural state they are gatisfied is a lover of . truth and abovedeception. That being tells . them of spirits seenand conversed with. Is for them to} believe, and no stretch to accept as truth . what is reported to have happened three . thousand years ago? Skeptics may reject everything not tangi. ble to the senses as false, but he who professes to believe in the interposition of di. vine power in the affairs of men will be equally as indulgent to the present age in . the exhibition of his power as in times an. terior to ours. Tuat Pracervire Bitt.—We have the fullest confidence that Governor Downey . the improvement of the Placerville route, . should the thing unhappily pass the Assembly, which we very much doubt. The reasons set forth in the Governor's veto of the . Omnibus bill.are sufficient of themselves to induce him to crush the Placerville bill, let . alone the favoritism of the thing. While . the Governor is satisfied there are other . lower and better passes in the mountains, . he cannot approve of the expenditure of a large sum of money from a depleted treasury upon a route he igs not satisfied is the best one of all. If there is so large a sum . . ted. . the mountains east of Kerii tiver. tional combats the $50,000 bill fot the benefit of the Placerville route manfully. We agree with our neighbor in pronouncing the scheme one of . plunder and injustice to the other portions of the . State. But we dissent from the sentiment con. tained in the artiele in last week’s National, as . follows:—* Let $50,000 be appropriated to each of the routes, and we will not grumble.” As well wishers of the State we would grumble if an appropriation were made for any cr all of the routes. The financial condition of the State will not allow the appropriation of a dollar. If . roads are needed private enterprise will build them. The State has no need of bankrapting herself for the benefit of mountain passes, and especially where favortism is designed. Ay Acr ror tHe Reuier or G. W. WirrMwAn.~-We notice in the report of the Senate’s preceedings of Tuesday, that Senator Chase had introduced a bill for the relief of Col. Whitman ex-Controller of State. We presume the design of the bill is to refund to the Colonel the expenses incurred by him in the trial for impeachment in 1857. As the Controller at that time was honorably acquitted by the Senate, and pronounced cause, he can present a better claim upon ture than hundteds who have obtained rehief at the same source. 2 The editor of the Bulletin has paid the mines at Washoe 4 visit. sources of the new mining region such as destined to astonish the werld. of Western Utah he thinks marvelous. advises small capitalists to invest with caution, as the country is infested with sharpers, and because there is an abundance of ore looking as if rich in silver which contains nothing but the baser metals, The large prices paid for some claims ate but a small fraction of their value if the leads continue good, but any number of re. puted sales at large prices are never made for near the reported sums. ore worth as high as $56,000 a ton. IyterestinG Discovert.—A Mr. Gwynn, engaged in working a marbie quarty seven miles from Auburn, in E} Dorado county, struek upon acave last week which is a wonder.

Remains of furnaces and other evidences of mining are found on the ground. Great expectations are excited by the discovery. . A party of San Franciseo capitalists have become interested in the mine. Strate Geo.ocist.—The Governor has approved an act creating the office of State Geologist. We presume it is similar to the bill lost for want of agreement between the two houses, some time since.

It is quite . } simple in its construction, and occupies less than a thitd of the room of the mammoth. The type . are placed upon two cylinders, which alternately print both sides of the paper, so that as the press casts off the sheet, it becomes a complete . newspaper. Topacco.—To show to what an extent tobacco is used, it is calculated that the entire world of smokers, snuffers and chewers, consume two million tons of tobacco annually, or 4,800,000 pounds per day, as much in tonpage as the carn consumed by ten millions ‘of Englishmen, and . actually at a cost sufficient to pay for all the . bread corn eaten in Great Britain.

Or Epitors.—Many people estimate the abil. ity of a newspaper, and the industry and talents . of its editor, by the quantity of editorial matter which it contains. It is comparatively an easy task for a frothy writer to pour out daily, columns of words—words, upon any and all sub. jects, Ilis ideas may flow in “ one weak, washy, eveflasting flood,” atid his command of lan. guage may enable him to string them together like bunches of onic#, and get his paper may . be a meage? and poorconcern. But what is the labor and toil of such a man who displays his . “leaded matter” ever so largely, to that imwho exercises his vocation with an hourly con} sciousn devotes himself to the conduct of his paper with the same care and assiduity that a sensible lawyer bestows upon a suit. or a humane physician . upon a patient. without regard to sl’ow or ditsplay ? Indeed, the mere writing part of editing a paper, is but a smiatl porticz: of the work.— The indwstry ic mot even shown there. The . care, the time employed in selecting, is far “ore . important, and the fact of a good editor is better . shown by his selections than anything else ; and . that we all know, is half the battle. But-as we . have said, an editor oxgkt to be estimated, and . 1is labors understood and appreciated, by the . per—its uniferm, consistent course—its principles—its aims—its manliness—its dignity—its propriety. To preserve these as they should be preserved, tf enough to occupy fully the time and attention of any man. ff to this be added . the general supervision of the newspaper establishment, which most editors have to encownter, the wonder is how they can find time or room to . write at all.—Alerandria Gazette. “Worse THAN the Witxor Proyiso.”—The mean and damnable doctrines of Squatter Sovercignty has now but few advocates. A dogma j that tolerates the absurdity of permitting a few . Abolition vagabonds and thieves to exelude the property of the slave owner from territory won . by the common blood and treasure of the nation, is so monstsons and revolting that the American people are tarning from it with unspeakable loathing and disgust.

Douglas, and a confidence in his patriotism and statésmanship, camsed many to praise and glorify his name, while he was hold. ing to their unsuspicious lips the deadly poison, distilled in a heart surchasged with all that is despicable. This misplaced confidence im Doug las, together with his specious sophistry, induced absurd vagar¥y.

Another fact of . this kind occurfed to me while being detained at . a particular place, where our favorite amusement . was trapping wild anitinals. Our mode of doing . this was with a spring gun connected with a) bait, which, when touched produced the explo. sion. One instance showed us that a fox, either from observation of a eonspanion’s fate, or from . hard-earned experience, had gone up to the gun, . bit off the cord connected with the bait, and the . danger being thus averted, wert and ate the meat in undisturbed comfort. And it is a common occurrence for the fox to make a tretch up _ to the bait, seize if, and permit the charge to pass over his head. . Ree ee ee ee .

THE NEVADA JOURNAL. SRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 27th, 160. . C—O Charlesten Convention, Tats body assembled in Charleston on Monday last, and probably at the date of this writing the unwashed groundlings are making themselves hearse with hoorahs for the victorious nomittee, and numberless negroes, it may be, from behind cotton bales look on in astonishment not having the gleam of an idea what all the noise is about. Perhaps the excitement, like that in a camp meeting, may be infectious, and these selfsame negroes wititout knowing why may jeia in the jubilee. While all this sound and fury $s going on in the Palmetto State, we are keeping wonderfully quiet here—as quiet at least as might be expected under the circumistances. We, Administration men, eonteat ourselves as best we may, thaking pteiessions of unalterab’e fealty to the party, and if ever caught discussing politics, We are found to confine ourselves to general principles, with an extra oath how and then against the Black Republitans. The fact is we rather fear Douglas is nominated, and would rather be in a transition state, preparatory to any emergency, Miss Mutison’s Lectures. We attended the first lecture of Miss Munson at the Theatreon Sunday last “What is Man,” was the theme of a discourst an hour anda half in length. The fait lect. rer appeared ohthe stage at the appointed . hour, passed into the trance state in a few moments, and with closed eyes proceeded . to deliver an address couched in fine lan. guage and replete with science and atgument. The lecture was, to say the least, a_ goodone. The theory advanced was similar to that in the “Vestiges of Creation,” in some respects. Any event which shal! provoke discussion is not without benefit to the human mind. The novelty of the entertainment afforded . by Miss Munson attracts an audience, induces thought and must redound to the advantage of the public, whatever may be said of the doctrines advanced or the man. ner in which they are taught. The bigoted . and intolerant will listen to no new creed, nor countenance anything out of the old, . beaten track in which their fathers started . them on the journey of life. The man of . liberalized ideas will prenounce nothing a} humbug which comes fairly endorsed, until . after investigation. We have witnessed some of the so-called .

The bill was lost. Nir. Conness gave notice that on the fol. lowing dey he would move a reconsideration . ; of the vote just had. There is a chance still of the bill going to the Governor. Aw Exproning Party.—A party of ten men and twenty animals from San Francisco . under the charge of Capt. R. Leonard, passed through town yesterday, on their . way to Western Utah. The party is fitted out with six months provisiens, and have with them surveying instruments, chemi. cals and complete assaying apparatus.

But, like the man who ate a-erow seasoned with Scotch snuff, on a bet, we can eat crow, but we'll be derned if we hanker after it. We, Douglas men, however, do not feel as easy as we might. satisfied they are what they purport to be. .

The Grass Valley Na. stuck out for principle how are we going to support an Administration nominee whose course, we think, bas been outrageously in violation of principle anddecency. There's the rub. The name of the party is a dear one, and we are more than half inclined to imitate the boy who clung to a jack-knife in remembrance of the donor, his grandmother, till it had three new blades and as . many new handles. We know a rose by another name is just as sweet. Principles re principles, and right is right wherever . seen. Still, old associations almost persuade us to cherish the form without the substance. The Democratic party is broken in pieces, but You may shatter the vase if you will, The scent of the thing remains round it still, he inculeates very good morals, and if the Christian world be any judge, very whole; some doctrines in the main. Indeed we are . ataloss to know the cause of the enmity existing against spiritualists by the clergy. . . Ministers have been preaching since the . . time of Christ, and exhorting unbelievers to become members of ehurches, believe in the scriptures, and conform their lives to scrip. . ture requirements. During near twenty . . centuries but little progress has been made. . . A large majority of mankind in most civil . ized countries are not members of churches, . . and, if our reverend brothers are correct in their assertions, on the road to perdition on . account of unbelief.

BGS” The Democrat denies that Jef Davis. Brown and Alex. Stephens are representative men of the Democratic party of to-day, . and asserts that Douglas is, being the choice of three-fourths of the Democratic voters of the Union. The Democrat is drawing largely on its own imagination—a thing it charges us with doing. For, if Douglas is the choice . of three-fourths of the Democratic yoters . why bas he not more than one-half the delegates in the Charleston Convention secur. ed to him, and why do all Douglas men fear the two-thirds rule? pocus somewhere if Douglas is euchred at Charleston, if the assertions of the Demo-. trat be true. Either the Democratic masses did not think well enough of their great . leader to turn out at the primary meetings, . the ballot-boxes have been corrupted, or . men elected as Douglas delegates are proving treacherous if he has no more positive . strength than the Democrat gives him. . Douglas being the choice of three-fourths . of the voters of the party, if that party is . properly represented at Charleston, he has . nothing to fear from the two-thirds rule. The editor of the Democrat must too be aware that there are thousands upon thousands of Democratic voters who despise the . course of Douglas, have and do condemn Kim asa renegade from the faith anda } breeder of dissensions, whose attachment . to the party name is so great that seeing . searcely a hope of electing any Democrat, they are forced to concede the necessity of . hominating Douglas. Fairly considered he {s their last choice, and in times of party . unity and strength his chances of obtaining their favor would be about equal to a mu-. tilated feline in the great reservoir of cal-. ofic we read of. ProcrastinaTion.--The Sacramento Unicn . of Wednesday has some very judicious re. marks on the practice of crowding import. ant bills into the last hours of a session.— It will be found on examination that a majority of ill digested laws, and those bills commonly denominated stealing bills, are . passed during the hurry and excitement of . the closing hours of a legislative session. . The practice should be thecked in some manner, and speedily. The State has suf. fered enough from it already. Important . bills are often held back by the laziness or . design of a committee till the last moment . and then reported with amendments which . are well but unharmonious with the re-. mainder of the bill. The friends of the bill, the well disposed members of the body, . rally to perfect it, and while engaged, an } an interested party calls up a swindling con.

Jesus Christ. Itseems to us that the clergy . should hail the advent of Spiritualism with . . joy, as a coadjutor in a great work, since, . . judging from the past, there are powers to . subdue beyond their reach. What boots it, . . we ask, by what process a soul is brought . to recognize the existence of its God, to see the evil effects of sin and the reward of virjtue? Is it not better that another reaper . should enter the field when nearly the entire . Or de our reverend friends object to some crop of souls is going to destruction? truths unless all are aecepted, and by one mode and that mode theirs? . We are teld the Spiritualists must be ctedulous to believe what they do. We are . . ineredulens, we sre free to confess. and, . perhaps, too prone te be skeptical on all . . questions not demonstrable to the senses. . . But we cannot see why any greater credu. lity is necessary to believe a being may hold i communion with the spirit world in the . present age than is requisite to believe the . If there ever lived a prophet in the days we read of, the evidence, except to the eye of faith, is It only exists in the form of wri. tings, while before the Spiritualist stands periments, is insensible to pain, whose con. sciousness is seemingly extinct, and whose . . language commends itself to their understanding and judgment. This beingin a natural state they are gatisfied is a lover of . truth and abovedeception. That being tells . them of spirits seenand conversed with. Is for them to} believe, and no stretch to accept as truth . what is reported to have happened three . thousand years ago? Skeptics may reject everything not tangi. ble to the senses as false, but he who professes to believe in the interposition of di. vine power in the affairs of men will be equally as indulgent to the present age in . the exhibition of his power as in times an. terior to ours. Tuat Pracervire Bitt.—We have the fullest confidence that Governor Downey . the improvement of the Placerville route, . should the thing unhappily pass the Assembly, which we very much doubt. The reasons set forth in the Governor's veto of the . Omnibus bill.are sufficient of themselves to induce him to crush the Placerville bill, let . alone the favoritism of the thing. While . the Governor is satisfied there are other . lower and better passes in the mountains, . he cannot approve of the expenditure of a large sum of money from a depleted treasury upon a route he igs not satisfied is the best one of all. If there is so large a sum . . ted. . the mountains east of Kerii tiver. tional combats the $50,000 bill fot the benefit of the Placerville route manfully. We agree with our neighbor in pronouncing the scheme one of . plunder and injustice to the other portions of the . State. But we dissent from the sentiment con. tained in the artiele in last week’s National, as . follows:—* Let $50,000 be appropriated to each of the routes, and we will not grumble.” As well wishers of the State we would grumble if an appropriation were made for any cr all of the routes. The financial condition of the State will not allow the appropriation of a dollar. If . roads are needed private enterprise will build them. The State has no need of bankrapting herself for the benefit of mountain passes, and especially where favortism is designed. Ay Acr ror tHe Reuier or G. W. WirrMwAn.~-We notice in the report of the Senate’s preceedings of Tuesday, that Senator Chase had introduced a bill for the relief of Col. Whitman ex-Controller of State. We presume the design of the bill is to refund to the Colonel the expenses incurred by him in the trial for impeachment in 1857. As the Controller at that time was honorably acquitted by the Senate, and pronounced cause, he can present a better claim upon ture than hundteds who have obtained rehief at the same source. 2 The editor of the Bulletin has paid the mines at Washoe 4 visit. sources of the new mining region such as destined to astonish the werld. of Western Utah he thinks marvelous. advises small capitalists to invest with caution, as the country is infested with sharpers, and because there is an abundance of ore looking as if rich in silver which contains nothing but the baser metals, The large prices paid for some claims ate but a small fraction of their value if the leads continue good, but any number of re. puted sales at large prices are never made for near the reported sums. ore worth as high as $56,000 a ton. IyterestinG Discovert.—A Mr. Gwynn, engaged in working a marbie quarty seven miles from Auburn, in E} Dorado county, struek upon acave last week which is a wonder. A chamber more than one hundred feet in length and hung with countfess stalactites that glistened in gor. geous beauty, was first entered. chambers are connected with it. Two other The caves are to be preserved, asd doubtless the spot will be . famous as a place of resort.

Better pass the bill, boys—the people want it. Give us an actof some kind, andif it be safely drawn the majority, or if need be, three-fifths will approve it.

We have few fears that the bill wilt receive the signature of the Governor. More StrvKr,—The Stockton Democrat edi . tor has been shown a fine specimen of silver ore taken from a huge vein recently discovered in The vein is said to have been known and worked by the old Jesuit priests.

A word to the wise is sufficient. One more annoyance of the . kind and the authors of such disturbances will hear from it-in a manner not. relished . by gentlemen. — “Tue Booxse.ier.”’—Those enterprizing . and reliable dealers in Literatures, and pub. lishers, H.

Wilkinson claims to have invented a printing press, combining features . not in any other. It feeds itself, cuts the sheets . as they pass from the cylinder, and lays them . off straight—thus dispensing with the large force of feeders required to work at the rotary press now used by the daily papers. It is quite . } simple in its construction, and occupies less than a thitd of the room of the mammoth. The type . are placed upon two cylinders, which alternately print both sides of the paper, so that as the press casts off the sheet, it becomes a complete . newspaper. Topacco.—To show to what an extent tobacco is used, it is calculated that the entire world of smokers, snuffers and chewers, consume two million tons of tobacco annually, or 4,800,000 pounds per day, as much in tonpage as the carn consumed by ten millions ‘of Englishmen, and . actually at a cost sufficient to pay for all the . bread corn eaten in Great Britain. Five and a} half millions of acres are occupied in its growth, chiefly by slave labor, and the product, at two . pence per pound, would yicld £37,000,000 sterling. .

Or Epitors.—Many people estimate the abil. ity of a newspaper, and the industry and talents . of its editor, by the quantity of editorial matter which it contains. It is comparatively an easy task for a frothy writer to pour out daily, columns of words—words, upon any and all sub. jects, Ilis ideas may flow in “ one weak, washy, eveflasting flood,” atid his command of lan. guage may enable him to string them together like bunches of onic#, and get his paper may . be a meage? and poorconcern. But what is the labor and toil of such a man who displays his . “leaded matter” ever so largely, to that imwho exercises his vocation with an hourly con} sciousn devotes himself to the conduct of his paper with the same care and assiduity that a sensible lawyer bestows upon a suit. or a humane physician . upon a patient. without regard to sl’ow or ditsplay ? Indeed, the mere writing part of editing a paper, is but a smiatl porticz: of the work.— The indwstry ic mot even shown there. The . care, the time employed in selecting, is far “ore . important, and the fact of a good editor is better . shown by his selections than anything else ; and . that we all know, is half the battle. But-as we . have said, an editor oxgkt to be estimated, and . 1is labors understood and appreciated, by the . per—its uniferm, consistent course—its principles—its aims—its manliness—its dignity—its propriety. To preserve these as they should be preserved, tf enough to occupy fully the time and attention of any man. ff to this be added . the general supervision of the newspaper establishment, which most editors have to encownter, the wonder is how they can find time or room to . write at all.—Alerandria Gazette. “Worse THAN the Witxor Proyiso.”—The mean and damnable doctrines of Squatter Sovercignty has now but few advocates. A dogma j that tolerates the absurdity of permitting a few . Abolition vagabonds and thieves to exelude the property of the slave owner from territory won . by the common blood and treasure of the nation, is so monstsons and revolting that the American people are tarning from it with unspeakable loathing and disgust. An ardent admiration of Stephen A. Douglas, and a confidence in his patriotism and statésmanship, camsed many to praise and glorify his name, while he was hold. ing to their unsuspicious lips the deadly poison, distilled in a heart surchasged with all that is despicable. This misplaced confidence im Doug las, together with his specious sophistry, induced absurd vagar¥y. But now they cowsider it like the veil of the terrible Mokannahbright and glittering, and fascinating, but hiding beneath . its treacherows folds the hideous features of a . fiend. For thivteen years the Demoericy have . beer warring upon the Wilmot proviso, and . having strangled that iniquitous monster, a measure stili more odious must not be substituted . in its stead. There is not the toss of s eepper'’s difference between the Wilmot Proviso and Squatter Severeignty, for by the former the South was to he kept out of the territorial domain by direct Congressional interference; by the latter the same . end is to be reached quite as effectually by indirect or territorial action or non-action, as may . be most convenient, or as the exigencies of each ease may demand. By the one, we are to be . throttled and robbed—by the other, chloroformed and swindled, Of the two methods we prefer the . former.— Memphis Avalanche. A Toven Story.—In a recent lecture upon . his experience in Arctic life Dr. Rae sid: “ On the journey I saw a very curious instance of the . sagacity of the Arctic fox. .Conseious that I was aiming at him, he tucked his tail under his legs, cocked up his ears, and endeavored to look as much like a bear as possible (which is an an. imat comparatively worthless). Another fact of . this kind occurfed to me while being detained at . a particular place, where our favorite amusement . was trapping wild anitinals. Our mode of doing . this was with a spring gun connected with a) bait, which, when touched produced the explo. sion. One instance showed us that a fox, either from observation of a eonspanion’s fate, or from . hard-earned experience, had gone up to the gun, . bit off the cord connected with the bait, and the . danger being thus averted, wert and ate the meat in undisturbed comfort. And it is a common occurrence for the fox to make a tretch up _ to the bait, seize if, and permit the charge to pass over his head. . Ree ee ee ee .
