The Cash System.-The Editors Of tho
Augusta Chronicle s; Sentinel have deter
mined hereafter, 10 pursue n cash system,
so far as relates TO subscriptions to that
paper. This. after all, is the only way in
which the business of publishing pewspa-
pers can be carried on successfully, unless
j, is with those who print for glory and the
good Q: their country and mol for their bread
aud butter. Being among the latter class,
we adopted the cash system some months
since with subscribers out Of the city. and
have gel had no cause TO regret it. To he
sure, when we commenced. we were obIi-
ged TO erase many names from our books,
among whom, no doubt, there were sever
al who were perfectly able 10 pay but as
we did mol know them, we could make no
distinction, and therefore served the good
and bad alike.
We are sorry Thus to have offended un-
intentionally many good subscribers who
were able and willing TO pay, ou, as they
did not do so. we had 10 infer ihcy did not
want 10 continue their subscription and we
pursued uniform course. Our number
has since been more than made up, aud
our subscription list is constantly on the
increase. We know now who our sub.
scribers are, and can therefore depend up
on receiving quid pro quo for our labor.
We also ceased sending the paper gralui-
tousIy TO any one, being determined TO make
our paper worth the subscription price as
kcd for it. Those, therefore, who wantil,
have to pay for it, and those who do not,
do not put us 10 Il needless expense. BE
sides, the man who takes paper without
paying for it, gives no proof that he apprc-
ciales in and therefore pays its editor yc.
ry poor compliment.
Our experience teaches US that the cash
system will have 10 be adopted by the
corps generally, throughout the State, and
the sooner they make up their minds to &c
into il, the better for all concerued.-S6.

Attempt to destroy our Var Steamers on
Lake Erie.-We mentioned briefly in
recent number Of this paper, desperate
attempt which was made OH the morning
of the I7lh ul,., TO destroy II. Nj. steam
vessels Toronto and Mines, then lying al
anchor at Chippewa. The following par
ticulars may be relied on as strictly cor
rect.
At about 10 minutes before 3, A. NJ,
the sentry on the forecastlc Of :he Toronto
saw light approaching the vessel, appa-
rcntly two or three hundred yards ahead.
He hailed il twice, but received no answer;
he was in the act ofcailing the attention OF
the sergeant Of The watch, when II cxplo-
led with tremendous noise, sinking the
ship TO her cenire-and as il afterwards np-
peared, breaking the windows in several
houses on shore. As the smoke cleared
away boat was seen pulling with great
swiGncss toward Grand Island. She was
Immediately pursued by boa, from the
Toronto, but without success.
The next morning cask was seen stick
lug lli tuc Hluu CiVsc w tbS pu'o hSo' w"
spot where the explosion took place. On
examination it vas found TO be full Of pow
der. inseniously fitted into kind Of plat
form 10 make i, float steadily. aud with
fuze half burnt, fixed in The bung-hole.-
To The cask were attached several futhoms
ofwhae line, by which il must evidently
have been connected with the one that ex.
pioded-and the use of which was no doubt
to take across the bows Of the vessel, so as
TO bring cask on either side OF her as
they noatcd down with the stream.
On the arrival Of Commodore Snndom,
on the 23d ult., an inquiry by board oil
magistrates took ...;ce, and several deposi-
,ions of parties wcre taken; tho only cir,
cumstance ofimporance that was elected
was, that on the same morning farmer
on Grand Island, in going round his fields
found four men lying asleep in shanty
and boat hauled rp on the beach close by
the men were armed. aud one Of them he
knew to be from Buffalo, and an accom-
plice of The notorious Lett-who has sine.
openly expressed his regret at the failure o
the attempt. The barrel bore the mark o.
n brewery in Buffalo, and contained up
ward Of 100 pounds Of gunpowder. A
musket shot was fired from The upper eut
ofNavy Island, at the Toronto's boat, a,
she passed in pursuit.
