THE PRINTER.
From the Knickerbocker for Sep,emb

1.-THE printer, IN his folio, heraldeth the
world-Now come iidings of weddings. ma
kings, mummeries. entertainments. jubilees.
wars. fires, foundations, ihefts, murders. mas
sacres, meteors, comets, spectrums, prodiges,
shpwrecks, piracies, sea-fghts, lawsuits.
pleas. proclamaiions, embassies, trophies, tri-
umphs, revels. sports, plays; then again. as
if in new-shfted scene, treasons. cheating.
tricks, robberies, enormous vilanes Of all
kiads. funerals. burials. new dis coveries. ex-
petitions; nov comical then nsgieal matters.
To-day we hear of new offences created, to-
morrow of great men depossd. and then again.
of fresh honors conferred; one is let loose.
another prisoned: one purchaseth, another
byeakeih he thrives, his neighbor turneth
bankrupt; now plenty. then again dearth and
famine one runs. another rides, wrangies,
laughs, weeps. and so forth. Thus do we
daily hear such like, both public and private
news."--OM Burton.
He stood there alone at that shsdowy hour,
By the swinging lamp dmly burning:
All silent within, save the ticking type.
All without save the night watch turning;
And heavily echoed the solemn sound,
As slowly he paced DER the frozen g. round.
And dark were tho mansions so lately that shone,
With The JOY Of festvity cleaning,
And hearts that were beating i'll sympathy then,
Were now living it DER in their dreaming
Ys,,he Printer still worked at his lonely post,
As slowly he gathered his mighty host.
And there lay the merchant all pillowed in down,
And building bright hopes for the morrow,
Nsr dreamed he that fate was then weaving wand
Tina, would bring to him fear and sorrow;
Yet tho Printer was there in his shadowy room,
And he SGT in his framework that rich mans
doom!
The young wife was slseping,whom lately had bound
The ties that death only can sever;
And dreaming she started, yet woke with smile,
For she thought they were parted forever!
But the Printer was clicking the types tia,
On the morrow tho truth of tina: midnight spell
Aad there lay the statesman, whose fevcsish brow
Aud reaiess, the pillow was pressing,
For he ielt through the sIadowy mist of his dream
His lofliest hopes now possessing;
Yet the Printer worked on, md silence and
gloom,
And dug for Ambition its lowliest tomb.
And slowly that workman went gathering up
Hi. budget of grief and gladncss;
A wreath for the noble a grave for the low,
For the happy, a cup full of sadness;
Strange stories Of wonder, 10 enehan; the ear,
And dark ones Of tie rror, to curdle with fear.
Full strange are the tales which that dark host shal
bear
To palace and cot the morrow;
Oh, welcome, thrice welcome to many heart.
To many bearer Of sorrow:
1, shall go like the wind and wandering air,
For life aud its changes are impressed there.

bout 100 600 tons. Unconsumed.
From The increased activity Of our manufac-
tories. and from the decreased imports OF for
eign coal this season. an increased consump-
lion Of anthracite coal may DO counted upon
TO the extent Of l22. 900 tons, or IL pe! CEN
tum. The consumption Of anthracite coal may
then be set down at 10000 tons for this
year.
To keep prices from advancing in the win
ter, the oserstock 10 yard cannot safely be much
less than 100000 tons more Than the esIlma-
ted receipts.
If the dem and were active. the Sehuylkill
mines might yet make up the one half OF The
deficiency. and the Reading Railroad can
make good the balance during the winter
months The defnsnd, however. is not active.
II will be evident, 10 the attentive reviewer,
that the coal market will not be b0rdened with
an overstock, az il has been for few years
past. And he who considers The extremely
low prices Of coal at this time. in comparison
with the aspect Of the future market. will see
that be has nothing 10 lose By securing hts
winter fuel without delay. AsrHEAx.

DISCOVERY or A MARalr QuARRy IN Via.
GINIA.-The editor Of the FredericLsburub
recorder gives us an Interesting account OF a
marble quarry recently discovered there. "a
follows: 1--WE have had two or three speci-
mems OF very pretty white and variagatcd mar.
BILE, quarrled on the farm Of Mr.. Edwin, E.
Gibson, OF Orange. 1t is very hard and clear,
and almost entirely free from shakes; indeed,
as Tar as we can see. i, is susceptible of as 6ne
apolish, and as valuable for many purposes,
az the White Mountain or Italian. We un.
derstand the quarry is ineihausible."

LATEST FROM MKxrco.--Tbe New Orleans

LATEST FROM MExIco.--Tbe New Orleans
Picayune of the 18th ult., gives later news
from Mexico than of the previous dates The
schooner Riebaud. Capt. Everson, arrived
there On the llth inst. from Tampico. She
left on the Sd inst. II is denied that Santa
ANITA intends 10 close that port. There came
two escaped Texan prisoners on board her.
Their names are Samuel w. Walker, native
of Maryland. and John Dalrymple, native Of
the city of New York. The latter was one
of those taken al San Antonio, and made his
escape from the castle Of Perose with Gen.
Greene and others. Instead of coming on the
sea-beard as they did, he made his way to the
city Of MEXICO, and by representing himself as
a Canadian to the British Minister, succeeded
in obtaining from him passport. under the
protection Of which he travelled to Tampico
without let or intolerance. The former WAL
kerl was one Of the Mier prisoners, and was
so confined in the prison of Tacubaya, near
Mexico. On the Sd of July he and two 9TH
ers--D. F. GRATIS, native of Alabama, and
James c. Wilson, native Of England--con.
trived to make their escape. GRATIS is gore
on board schooner to New York, and Will
son remained behind sick in Mexico. When
they left there was not word about the re-

were still in chains and the guards watched
over them with increased vigilance. The ru-
NOR of their release. received by way Of Tex.
az, must therefore be premature. Although
they do not expect 10 be released, except in
the event Of treaty Of peace; still their cry is.
s.et no dishonerable condition nothing shor.
Of full and perfect national independence on
the part of Texas-be sssen!ed to-"
Previous 10 the 4th Of July they wrote TO
Santa Anna requesting TO be unloosed from
their chains for one day--to be allowed TO
be allowed TO celebrate the anniversary Of the
freedom of their native country without being
reminded by the clanking of their letters that.
though having the minds Of freemen, they
wore the livery ofslaves. Santa Anna grant
ed the request, in consideration, he said Of the
admiration in which he held the institutions
of the United States and his respect for its
Government. They then celebrated the 4th
Of July on the high. pressure republican pria-
ciple. The Declaration Of Independence was
read. they had an Grafton, and set of resolu-
tions which breathed the spirit Of freedom as
unrestricted and untrarnmeIled as if their an-
thors. instead Of being the jewellers Of dun
geop, spoke from out Of Liberiy's temple.

THE SMALL Pox.--A very interesting
article on the discovery and treatment
of the Small Pox, contained in the Lou"
isviIIe Journal, closes with the following
Ia comparing Baron's life OF Jenner
with the observations of recent writer's
on the subject in various parts of the
world, we were struck with the amazing
completeness Of Jenner's discoveries
Scarcely n phenomenon has been seen
in vaccination, that was not either known
TO or foretold by Jenner himself; and
his cardinal principle, that true vaccine-
ton is protection to the system against
small pox ever afterwards, will be found
a true one by all those who take the
same pains that he did in performing tho
operation. We do not purpose to give
any directions on this point, because it
is the business Of the medical faculty to
attend to it with proper sense of their
responsibility. The first thousand vac.
cinated by Jenner and his immediate dis
ciples were thoroughly tested with small
pnx, and not one took tho disease who
