Some Of these prints let off their cAagrin at our
success, and the loss Of their own patronage in
something like the following strain, taken from the
" Courier and Enquirer the opinion OF that inn

All this is probably correct and applicable to

a fine specimen of the opinions held Of each other.
Thus again, the Wall street press fully and une-

The increase Of our circulation arises from the
pcrior industry, TALENT and enterprise engaged by
.he Herald. We have six men Of talent, all employ
ed in the editorial department, besides coiec
tors, boats, steam engines, men and boys, number

This, it is true, is one oil, the greatest weeks we
ever had, but il marks also the rapidity Of pro-
gress. Our net income now averages from $4,000
to OOOa year. II is idle for the Wall street press
to change their system and get int wake with
any prospect Of success. We can expend $4,000
on any improvement necessary TO throw them be.
