NoS-PAYING SUBsoRIBERs.-The Editor Of the
Richmond Enquirer says that he is owing the banks
from 10000 to $4,000 dollars, and they are calling
him for their pay. His subscribers, he says, are
indebted TO HIM ten twelve times that amount,
but neglect to pay him. We are Of the opinion that
very many of the non-paying class Of subscribers,
might be found in all parts OF the Union. We are
quite there some in "these diggins," but
hope ere long, for our own benefit, that they may
be "iew and far between"
