The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1842-12-06

mediately on the arrival OF Adamss and Handlers
express lines with our foreign papers.
Aren't wanted for the Herald, I'm Pitts
burgh, PA.
Having removed the agent for the sale of the Ne1o
York Herald in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, we in
wife applicants for assuming that profitable point in
the newspaper and literary business. To young
man of small capital, say from 800 to $500, this
vacancy would furnish fine chance 10 commence
business BY uniting with the agency of the He
raid, the sale of cheap periodical literature of all
kinds. and conducted on the cash principle entirely
a capable and active man might make an annual In
come of $1,000 or more, per annum, and in time
make fortune provided he he honest, faithful and
attentive.
The decentralization of the present times Is so
great originally inflicted on the country by the cor
rupion of politicians, fnanciers and bankers, that
nothing but the strictest adherence TO the cash sys-
tenn will renovate the country. Our late agents
at Pittsburgh and St. Louis were lax in complying
with eur rules OF busness-and the former has had
the folly to write an impudent letter to US because
called upon him publicly TO attend to our rules.
We accordingly have removed him from the agency
in Pittsburgh, and any other agent who may exhibit
the same laxity cweessness, shall be superseded
as promptly as he has been. We never shall give
any agent of the Herald, the chance again to serve
us as Curns of New Orleans, or Mitchell Of New
Haven, has done.
In this inhexibility to the principles which we
conduct and manage the Herald, we believe we are
doing society service II is the only way to call
back the men of business of the present age, 10 the
old fashioned and strict habits OF former times
Look at the gross audacity OF our exagen In New
Haven He not only refuses TO pay his debts, but
he has the assinine impudence to publish " cards"
in the New Haven papers, accusing us of being an
aristocrat," because we ask him to pay his debts
By this code of morals honesty is the most awful
species of arstocracy, and should be punished in the
State Prison. Let the young of the present day,
just entering upon business, take care how they
make a start in life. If they initiate the conduct
the manners, and the ways of those who by theii
own folly, ndiscrston, and extravaganza, swell the
lists OF bankruptcy, and 'call honesty species Of
"aristocracy," they never can succeed.
This is the most propitious time in the world to
begin business-but it must be began on the right
principles-wth the proper temper-the highest in
dustry-the coolest sagacity-and, above all, with
an lnfexible adherence to ru Tn, integrity econo-
my, and cash down, whether it is democracy, or
aristocracy. We have had some little trouble and
lost little money by the folly recklessness, auda-
city, and dishonesty of agents-but we believe we
have lost less than any of our contemporaries,
arising principally from our promptiude in check
ing the first wrong step, at a considerable ex-
pense. If all agents will follow in our footsteps,
they will never fail to make themselves men of
worth, responsibility and property. 1t is the easiest
thing in The world TO attain these distinctions in a
free, liberal, and energetic country, such as this
happy and comfortable land is
LITERARY INTELLIGENcE.-We understand that
the publishers of Mr. Cooey's very interesting work
onMOdem Egypt, intend to put new edition to
press Immediately, the first edition being now en-
tirely exhausted
It will be recolleced that this book created
curious and amusing controversy last sum-
mer among various critics and antiquarians
Mr.. Gliddon, formerly connected with the Ameri-
can Consulate in Cairo, made savage and funny
attack upon the book and the author. This caused
every body to enquire for the work and to read i
with great avdiy. The controversy will still con
tinue in some shape or another. Mr.. Cooley, in hi
second popular edition, will probably add something
10 the brochure, touchng the character of the recent
explorers in Egyptian monumental history, which il
now considered TO be entirely hostile TO the authen.
Mr.. Glddon proceed to Boston, in order to give a
series of lectures these antiquities, before the
Sapans of that city; afterwards he will deliver the
same course in this city We would advise Mr..
Cooley to review the lectures and lecturer.
We should like to see the general subject of Egyp-
tian antiquities, and the character and tendency Of
discoveries, fully discussed before the public
Mr. Cooley has written one of the most graphic anc
agreeable works on modern Egypt that we ever
read-in that respect surprising all his cotempora
ries, from DrMott, round and about to Mr. Stephens
We want full development of its monumental his
tory-an explanation of those vast remains that We
astonish the world-and their connection with Jew
ish history and revelation fully illustrated or sepa
rated. We do not know any person who has su
perior tact In this department to Mr. Cooley.
