mitlee consisting ofMessrs. Wilmer,
Clark, Strachan, SilaWood and others

arrangements for futs meeting in the
Merchants Exchange.
The meeting was hihly gratilied by
the explanations of orr of the Illinois
commissioners, from Wish we have every
reason 10 anticipate the bst favorable re-
suits. The greatest chidence seemed
to prevail at the mee6g. Should the
commissioners he successful in their ne
gocations, the faith and ltdit Of Illinois
would be again restored. in our Judge
ment it would be the intetst of the bond
holders of every descriptd ia join in the
loan to complete the canal as in such an
event. they may rest will, onfdence that
they did not hold mere noiinal interests
in the state. The wholelength of the
canal from the Illinois rivs to Lake Mi
chigan is about 90 miles, { which more
than sixty-ive miles are tilkhed of ca
pacity equal TO the navigaon of vessel
of one hundred tons, andAs this water

Newspaper S pongas.-The editor o. the Rich
mond Star, who has been not only cheated, but
positively assaulted in the street by a newspaper
sponge, whom he had exposed in his columns,
thus expresses his deliberate opinion 4 the whole
race. 1t is about right
We have horror of spongers. The whole
history OF the newspaper press is history of toll
and intense wretchedness and suffering. The
public do not dream Of the amount of misery to
which publishers have been subjected, not to mem
ton the extent OF ruin and loss that has fallen
upon hundreds of establishments, solely through
the conduct of suckers and spongers. The life Of
a faithful editor or publisher is than that of
a slave. He has no rest no recreation, and the
usual indulgcnccs that even the slave has, are shut
out from him. BY far the majority depend alone
upon their industry for success; and by that they
rise or fall But the suffering and anxiety OF
which the public cannot know, has been caused in
the majority of cases 10y spongers; men who Pc
tr0mze these hard toiling individuals. with the
design to cheat them out of their pay. Thcsweat
and labor OF the editor is given to raise the means
to furnish these spOngGrs with what they want
and hundreds, by these means, have hcen led on
to ruin by apparent success, So derived. They
have lost their means aud their labor their time
and their health, and lived and died wrctched and
miserable, solely 10y the acts of that class which
we call spongers

and during the afternoon and evening succeeded in

place we learn that they visited Ladies Far on
Saturday afternoon, and made good many pur.
chases taking care to receive large proportions Of

far as ascertained, was in fves. We understand
that they have also left their tracks in New Haven
