The Spy is decidedly to be preferred Ell
ther to the Saturday Courier or Evening
Post. For further particulars, see the Pros
pectus which we publish 10 day.
T We wish that the Spy could be re-
ceived one day earlier than it is, as we are
in the habit ofcribbing many short articles
Of news from its columns. We see that il is
published on Saturday morning, but we do
not receive it till Tuesday, and some times
Wednesday evening. It should come from
New York to this place by Steamboat, in
stead oStaking circuit through Connecti-
cut. This would make some two or three
days differenc in its arrival, as well as many
other papers which we receive after this
manner, and which we might receive two or
three days earlier il sent by Steamboat
mail.

railroad, and some of the townsmen. We

consequences of this outrage on peace of

Of citizens was appointed to take measures to

leve that the disorder will not attack them, mel.
thet would they spread it, although they might
cume in contact with others not protected. even
if the small pox matter covered them. Notwith-
