However much of evil may spring from the present civil war, there is one class of men “in the east to whom it must prove a very mine of weulth. We mean the newspaper men. The big dailies of New York .City must be fairly coining money. Each has its correspondents at Washington, whose busiess is to worm out of the government officials all the facts they can, which facts, plentifully glossed with the varnish of fancy, re showered upon the reading public, and for these showers of bejizzened facts the reading public pays most L:borally. Some of these currespondeutse—vld veterans who understand all the intricacies and myat-ries of their trade -rely upon their own brains for the manufacture their war items, knowing that falsehoods are just as saleable in the news market as truths. The younger and less experienced fry, however, not well. up in the art of news-making, pester, the public funetionaries most horribly in-search of the staple article of their trade. The public functionaries, who dare not make enemies of these tlewspaper locusts and dare not reveal the exact truth, tell them any kind of lies to get rid of them. These lies are thrown proad-east over all the Atlantic cities, aa fast and furious as steam and lightning-can do it — Thas, it is not uncommon to find ihe Tribune. Times, Herald, and World, of New York, of the same date, making the most contradictory statements about the same thing and the same man. Onone occasion these papers disposed of Gen. Beauregard in a most extraordinary mauner. They had him in Charleston, Richmond Harper's Ferry, and Manassas Gap, all on the same day! These newsmongers, just now, must annoy Gen. Scott and his‘ subordinates dreadfally Among the multitude of fulse reports they are instrumental in fabricating. they occasionally give currency toa truth, which, “« for the benefit of the public service, ought not to be known beyond the. circle of the high chiefs of the government. Every movement of the government forces, the number of men in each regiment,and the location ang destination of every division and brigade is duly published to the world much to the gratification of the secessionist leaders, whe have no need of spies while they have acerss to the New York papers: Jeff Davia and his generals permit nothing ef this sort in the southern papers. The Richmond editors and news reporters are num as death in regard to all contemplated operations of the _ southern troops. It Gen. Scott would shoot or imprisun the whole gang of newspaper correspondents in Weshington, he would do himself and the aaeicuredd an immense servivee. The news that Peaches California, by the pony, is, iu the main, a condeneed haso of the original melange inthe New York papera, and is proportionally diversified with truta and falsehood. As the southern papers ure not permitted to revelin the military secrets. of Jeff Davis and expose his designs, but little relinble intelligence can reach ua of the state of affairsin the secessionist army. With no other wutbority than the New York “papers, we are ot a profound loss te know whut ty believe ubout that same secessivnst army. Siwetimes it contuins eke buudred thousad, sudsowetimes less than fitty thoueand. Qne day it ia starving, and the next luxuriating on the fatofthe lind. In the morning it may be utterly demoralized aud suffering irom diseuse, and in the evening fullo! robust health and military arder. It is a thousand pities Gur intelligence from the east has so much of the apvcrypha! in it ; but we are ubhged to-let it .come.im such abi pe as pleases Heaven and the Wasbington neWemuakers. In short, to tuke it, as ~ ‘we take wives. for better or worse.” ‘Lavy FRAxKLIN.— This celebrated and Wythe, the Muniater of Fu ent go mot y by McKinstry, who the Inw to provide for the condemnation of private property for the use of the Federal Government is unconstitutional.— The Snpreme Court hold it.to be constitutional, and the effect of their decision willbe, that the land at Lime Point will be condemned, its value assessed by a jury, and taken for the use of the United States for military , purposes.

In the present crisis there exn be but one issue—ourGorernment must be sustained or it will go down. There can be no middle ground. He who is nut for it is against it. Such was our progress in all the attributes of nations! greatnesg and power, that no statesman, however Wise, no human sagacity, however profound. could have formed the least conception of the high position we were destiued to hold among the powers of the globe. Must all this be lost to us aud to.the world? Shall we aid the madness and folly that now seeks the destruction of the greatest and best government ever devised by human wisdom? No loyal citizen ean give butone response. The laws -tnust be executed and the Government sustained at every hazard—no matter by whom administered.

The Independent dds: ~ Az it is seldom that misfortunes come singly, especinlly in a poor man’s family, we msy alse mention another sad affair which happened te a younger brother of the above, a few dayaago: the boy, along with some others, were amusing themselves near Riley’s so:p f etery, and being thirsty, he went to a large keftle of potash lye which was standing outside, and tock a hearty draught, thinking it was water, which soadieg him severely, doing serious, if not fatal injury, inwardly. “RivLe ReeimMens.—fhe Alia says that Col.
