tual power IN attaining and discriminating correct in
formation, without parallel in the history OF the
newspaper press. AT my office the double cy Under
press, driven by a steam engine, is in motion nearly
night and day to print off greater edition than any
newspaper in the world attempted before. Saddle

veyance put in req lison facilitate this unpre
cidented improvement in the press.
| One hour after shutdown on Monday night, we had
the returns from every ward in the city, thing which
| neither the Masonic or Tammany Committees had.
TheWall street papers actually stole the returRs from
our Bulletin Boa:d, by set of loafers they sent TO
Little Wall street TO see if they could pick up any of
the crumbs that fell from our Intellectual table.

| HIsTonY OF THE HEBREW WoMEN.-We intend
in few days. to give brief and comprehensive his
torca sketch Of the beauty, genius, and exraordi-
nary character of Hebrew Women, from the time Of
Sarah, down to the present day.
A philosophical history of the female character,
will illustrate two thirds of the genius of that cviIza
| ton which enjoy at the present day. Among the
| Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, the female character
was in shackles. The civil polity of Egypt, on this
peculiar point was borrowed by Moses, but after a
struggle Of several ages the liberty and genius of
woman were a triumph in the reign Of Augustus
Cesar.
Through all the ancient writings of the Hebrews,
the humanity and civlzaton-ihe genius and heroic
character of the Hebrew women burst out with brill
liancy, without parallel among nations. Who has
forgotten the song of Marian 2 who the singular he
rosm and ambition of Esther7 who the bravery Of
judith and Susanq Throughout the whole history of
the Jews, up TO the destruction Of the temple by the
king of Babylon, the events among that people
sprung from social contest between tho spirit of the
sexes for an equality in mutual endearment and social
existence After their reurn from their captivity. no
to the time Of the Virgin Mary, and her mysterious
conception the history Of the Jews presented an un.
interrupted series Of vulgar contests, party fcuds, and
bloody civil wars. Towards the age Of Augustus,
the general belief Of approaching Messiah, caused
TO up myrads of preenders, until John and Je-
sus both appeared in the great movement Of revela
ton. At this time the peculiar character of the He
brew women broke out with astonishing splendor
To the early instructions of Mary the Virgin, whose
character model Of purity, dignity good sense,
and great mind, we may suppose her son was in
debcd for his peculiar love, esteem and respect for
| the character of the sex.
The first germ Of real civizaton-to say nothing Of
revolution, which we leave to the clergy-was deye-
loped in the assembages Of female converts and fc-
male disciples who maintained and followed the
great being through the winding wales of Palestine.
In the sermons of this extraordinary parsonage
be seen the first germs Of the emancipation of wo-
man, from being slave to be the equal and friend Of
man. This feature may be considered the great So
cial movement begun in that age accumulahng in
energy and power, I'LL il united with the mysterious
spirit of the Germans of the nsrth and produced the
age of chivalry. From that day up to the present,
the Hebrew women living under the old dspensa-
ton Of Moses, which Egyptian in its origin, have
occasionally shown symptoms Of claiming their
brthright and * showing the same spirit of their
,raordnary counlrywoman, the Blessed Virgin, the
beau ideal OF all the chvalry of the middle ages and
in point Of fact, one Of the most original female
germs that ever appeared in the world.
We have SEINE notions Of our own on these cxcit-
ing topics which we shall reveal and explain at our
leisure. To Mary Of Bethlehem are the women Of
the present age Indebted for the very position they
