TORNADO IN NEW JERSEY.

The Sussex Register, gives an account of tor
nado which visited Newton and its vicinity on Tues
day of last week. The Register says
On Tuesday afternoon last storm of wind and
rain, accompanied by lightning, swept this
gon Of country with great violence 1t was of short
duration, but left many traces of its progress About
mile of this village the rise of a tornado was
first discerned, which, passing in northeasterly d.
ion, swept the farms of James Dazely,
Amos Petit, David Ryerson, John Dunn, Catharine
Green Joseph Warbase &C., prostratng fences,
trees and outhouses and occasoning much other dam
age. Part of the roof of Ryersons ousc Occupied
by j. H. Main,) was blown off, and carried about two
hundred yards. A son of James Dazely had an arm
broken and otherwise injured by the falling of
tree. An old house on Mrs. Green's farm was much
scattered some of the weather boards being torn off
and lodged half mile distant. The barn of Mr. Petit
was blown down, and we note it as very remarkable
that although man and three horses were in it at
the time they all escaped uninjured. We have heard
of further damage worthy of particular specifca-
ton. The track of the tornado was from three to
five hundred yards in width and some five or six
miles in length. similar tornado was felt about
seven miles south of Newton, the same afternoon
producing a like effect upon fences orchards, &c.
Among the sufferers we have heard the names of
Martin Kishpaugh John V. Vansyckle, and John
Durham.

THE COURIER AND MR. MARSHALL.

1t seems that Mr.. Marshall, at some past time,
spoke of the Courier "pensioned press" allud-
ing probably TO the $52 1000 This expression the
Courier took in high dudgeon, and on
Mr.. Marshall's presence here upon benevolent
rand, to attack HIM with the most violent personal
abuse. 1t even talks swaggeringIy it always Does
about genlemanly satisfaction and all that. This
language of the Courier CRATE upon the ears of
those who have listened with much admiration to
the eloquent appeals of Mr.. Marshall in favor of total
abstinence from the intoxicating drinks which in
times past have done him and thousand others of
our most talented men much mischief The city
is not responsible for the Courier still, think our
citizens will feel that the of that paper is little
credable to the hospitality good of the city
or its press. Mr.. Marshall is among US under cr-
which ought at least shield him during
his visit from personal insult if there were much
better ground for it than in this instance.

INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT.

We are sorry that the committee Of the Sc
nate to which this subject was referred, have
determined to report unfavoraby to the interests
of authors. At this moment, when the claims
Of every other branch of industry to protection,
receive much attention from the public and
the ajoriy ofourlegisators, I'VE think it peculiar
ly hard that those of authorship should be disre-
garded. The productions of mans mind are
as much his property, by the laws of nature and
justice, as those of his hands, and it is entirely
wrong in law gvers to refuse securing them to
him.
We observed, a few days ago, in the Penn
sylvanian, an able article on this subject, in
which the writer showed that it is not British
authors alune that suffer from the want of an in
ternational copyright law; American authors
come in for share, and, in many instances, no
small one, Of the injury. The Pennsylvania
adduced several noted instances of this We
will mention one which it did not notice--that of

stance, must have been considerable, will APP
pear from the fact, that the work has been ste
reotyped, continues to be periodically issued in
thousands of copies, by publisher in High

ever received from the European publisher was
a present of fifty copies from the one last men

THE PRESS AND IT'S COURTESIES.

We may be mistaken, but it appears to US, that
great deal of unnecessary unkindness exists among
number of the public journalists of the present day.
1t not essential to our purpose to point out any par
ticular But if were to believe half that
is said by some Of our contemporaries against each
other, the public would be very apt to regard jour
nastt any thing but disnterested, high-mnded,
honorable Our own view is, that editors, political
or otherwise, may differ in opinion with perfect pro-
priety, may combat each others arguments with
force and emphasis, and yet avoid any thing dscour-
teous personal To be spirited spicy, it is by
means necessary to be violent and abusive. The
public at large very little for the personal affairs
of editors, while there is manifest improperly in
mngng up such affairs with matters of a public or
editorial nature. Philadelphia for number of
years, has been remarkable for the kindness of inter-
course which has existed among the conductors of
its press especially during moments of high political
excitement. They have differed frequently, have
argued together week after week, have endeavored
repeatedly overturn the positions assumed by each
other and not unfrequenly ave dealt out very hard
knocks. But the instances have been rare in which
they have violated the rules of editorial courtesy or
have descended to personal attacks or unmanly inu-
endoes in their assaults or replies.
Even during the last Presidential contest when
politics were pretty warm, and politicians were not
very particular as to the weapons resorted to- the
press of our city preserved its temper maintained its
proprety and dignity, and the editors who the
most decided in the expression Of their political opn-
ions, or as political antagonists, not the less
friendly and urbane in their private ard personal in
tercourse. The effect sautary in every point of
view. Much asperty prevented, and many par
tsan inventions were confined to the demagogues
with whom they originated. The contrast too, be-
tween the journals of this city and some other sec
tons of the Union was decidedly in our favor The
press here was regarded as more to be depended
upon and its conductors respecting themselves were
respected by others. This is the true system, not
only with regard to politics. but all editorial SUBJ
iects and speculations. 1t is just essential for
ournels to preserve the courtesies Of life in the col
umns of his newspaper, in refined and intelligent
society. We repeat that all are likely to err
sionally, and to differ in opinion; but errors, when
detected, should be promptly corrected, and men

CONGRESS-.

In the House, on Friday, resolution was
adopted authorizing the appointment of a select
committee to inquire iAto the contracts for fur
nishing furniture for the New York custom
house, with authority 10 send for persons and
papers.
MIR. Fillmore having read letter from the
Secretary of the Navy urging the necessity OF
immediate appropriations for the Navy, moved
to go int Committee of the Whole and take up
the Naval BILL The motion prevailed, and Mr..
Clifford was called to the Chair
To the first section of the bill appropriating
$3, 195,432 for pay of commission and warrant
officers, Mr.. Merlwether proposed substitute
allowing but $2,336,OOO for the same object
This sum was allowed for 1941, and he deemed
the same amount sufficient for 1912.
Mr. Fillmore was himself surprised by the
increase in the Navy estimates, but on the
examination of certain documents, his surprise
had ceased. These had given him the reasons
of the increase The employment Of home
squadron, the addition TO the number of ships,
the enlarged expenditures for receiving vessels,
accounted for it.
Mr.. Torrance opposed the extravaganza Of
the proposed appropriation. In time of peace,
he maintained, it was unnecessary, and assert
ed that the People would no more submit to be
taxed for the support of large naval establish
ment than for large standing army
Mr.. Fillmore replied, and the debate was con-
tinued to greatlengthby Messrs. Charles Brown,
Everett, Profit, Wise, &c. The necessity of a
strict inquiry into the pay Of Naval officers was
urged with much earnestness and plausibilily
Many officers, it was said, are in the receipt OF
high pay without the performance of any duty,
or the expectation that they would be ever
called on to perform any. system of favort-
ism in the appointment of officers, was said to
exist; and Mr.. Brown particularly objected to
the part of the apprentice system which de-
bars the promotion of apprentices TO the rank
of commissioned officers.
Mr.. Profit, first, and Mr.. Wise, afterwards,
more deliberately replied to the various ohjec-
lions made from various quarters, especially by
Mr. Meriwether.

a smart chance Of fire and fury, from Mr.. Benton in
relation to the recent nomination of Colonel Chur-
chill Postmaster at st. Louis, which winds up with
complaint that President Tyler has appointed three
members of Judge Washs family to Office in a single
year. Does Mr. Benton know that the people know
that he induced General Jackson to appoint three
members of one family to the three most lucrative
offices in Missouri, and continued them there for
twelve years. We suppose not if he did, he would

FROM CANTON.
| The ship Oscar has arrived at New York from
Canton, and brought Macao papers to the 18th Of
January These are not as late by about week as
those which have reached from England, and were
received there by the overland mail; they therefore
contain no intelligence in regard to belligeran opera
tons worth copying but the paper of the 18th says,
that the latest intelligence from Canton is, that pan
ic had seized several British merchants, caused by
some vague reports that the newly erected forts in
the Canton river would be attacked, and that they
hastily left Canton that the consequence sud-
den and great fall in the price of teas of it is said
and taels, and teas were hastily purchased at the
deprecated rates and shipped off to Whampoa, to be
put on board any ship that would receive them.
The report was unfounded and every thing seemed
quiet.

Captain Turner, and Ariel, Captain Dodd, schooners
of 80 tons, arrived some time since from the United
States, both making capital passages. Notwithstand
ing which it was doubted by many if such diminu-
tive craft was capable of working to wndward at
against the strong winter monsoon; but trial
proved them at least equal to any sailing vessels
which had visited these waters. They were de-
spatched in strong norther-the Anglona to Ma
moa accomplished her 7oyage in little over five
days, going up in the very "teeth of the gale' in
three and half days. The Ariel went to Manila.

They went Oft in fine style at Oh 52m with a strong
north wind, which continued about three hours,
when the Anglona had gained 8 miles to windward.
1t afterwards became quite moderate when the
Ariel established her superiority in light winds, by

years, and scale of duties that would furnish
the requisite sum. The main principle of the
bill is rerenue; but that is not the main principle
of the Gazette. Daily accustomed to pour
out its malignant condemnation OF the Presi-
dent, The editor fancies he sees something in
this letter that may afford ament to generate

The Clay party are in favor of high protective
tariff. This editor would insinuate that the
Secretary agrees with them heart and soul-but
that they will probably be defeated in the at
lainment of their object by the President This
traction and destruction of the Administration is
the watchword
But he does not inform his readers, IN the
first place, that the scheme of the Secretary
contemplates retention of the proceeds of the
sales of public lands for the uses of the Federal
Government. In the second place, that such
estimates are understood to proceed from the
Department., supposed to be in consonance
with the views of the Executive, but without
minute examination Of the President into
all their details. That they are furnished by
the Department, in obedience TO call of Con-
gress on the Secretary of the Treasury. That
the Presidents immediate action in the premi-
ses only occurs when the bill is submitted to
him for his signature.
There was not particle of excuse for the
inslnuaticn. Itwould seem to be unjust both to
the President and the Secretary.
