snow storm ofast week, which laid up the rail-
roads, we would, undoubtedly, have received the
news by the Herald express, on Friday, p. M, at
four o'clock-woud have sent 1t South and West
one day In advance of the Holy Alliance, and
would have been ready TO close career, and re-
pose, for the remainder OF our life, our laurels.
But the snow came, the wind blew, the ice made,
and the devil assisted the Alliance, and we were
somewhat outrun-not beaten-only two or three
hours, with all these disadvantages against us.
In consequence Of this defeat, we, the Napoleon
of the press, put journal into deep mourning for
one day, and have given directions for every one
around our establishment to wear Grape on their
hats and on their left arms for the space of thirty
days. We are also resolved on next Sunday to ex-
press our feelings in proper way, and to prepare,
by temperance, tasting, and houghfulness, to enter
on that new career Of glory, which we yet fondly
hope awaits u.s. before kick the bucket finally and
forever.
But while Fulton street is a house OF mourning,
there is great rejoicing in Wall street Satan is in
his glory. The Holy Alliance Of the newspaper
press, that have been for the last ten years. on one
hundred occasions, compelled to bite the dirt by our
superior enterprise, out of their senses with Joy
and rejoicing We understand that they intend to
celebrate their victory by a splendid dinner, and
have selected either Castle Garden, Hale's Taber-
nacle, or the Five Points for the fete We also
learn, from what we believe to be good authority,
that they have resolved to illuminate their windows
for three successive nights in the present week and
at the dinner which is TO be given there will be
speeches and toasts, and great rejoicing. We shall
endeavor to send corps of reporters there and give
full report of all the sayings and doings on the in
teresting occasion.
Yes, let them rejoice while they may. We are
not yet quite demolished One partial defeat to a
for the future contest; and we give them warning,
counter greater energy than they ever thought or
dreamt of in their philosophy" En- apant
SINGULAR BLACK MAIL DIscLosuRE.-H will be
recoected that some days since the Evening Mir
ror contained mean attack on Templeton, the great
vocalist, who is now on his progress to the south,
and that an attempt was made to nsinuate things
against him in relation to certain persons in this
city.
The feeble attack made on Templeton astonished
us at the time and we accordingly noticed it as it
deserved, which had the effect to bring out state
ment, by which ii was revealed that certain musical
critics attempted to black mail Templeton while
here. We understood at the time who the persons
were that were engaged in this business. We have
now before proof of the positive kind that the
charge made against the Mirror office is true, and
the evidence consists in two extraordinary letters
dated at the Mirror office, and sent to Mr.. Temple
ton, demanding Of him levy Of fifty dollars for the
musical notices which had appeared in that paper,
and pleading poverty for the necessity of making
such demand. 1t appears, too, that soon after
these letters were written, and nothing came forth
from Templeton, the same Mirror from which the
letters were dated, came out and made an attack on
the great vocalist.
Here Is the evidence of mean and despcable at
tempt in the Mirror people to levy black mail on the
distinguished vocalist, and we dare them to deny the
facts which are now charged on them II they do so,
we will forthwith convict them before the community
OF the truth Of this statement in its fullest and broad
est extent. Here, therefore, is a revelation of the
character, and the pretensions and the principles OF
those persons who calumniate the Herald, which
has never been concerned in these dirty and mean
attempts to levy black mail on any person whom
soever Il is also proof that there must have been
something !" rotten in the state Of Denmark" TO
cause General Morris to leave that concern in the
hasty and abrupt manner he did.
We have every reason to believe from this reve-
lation, and from facts which have come to our
knowledge, that General Morris came to the con-
cusion to cut his connection with that establish
ment, in consequence OF those mean and detestable
practices which we have described, and which are
now for the first time revealed to the world We
trust the amiabe Brigadier-Po Poet who is now en-
gagged in attempting to establish new paper, will
receive the support of his friends in that spirit of
liberality and generosity which his manliness and
spirit merit.
We have more to say on this subject at the proper
time. In the meantime we ask the Mirror concern
whether the facts which we have now stated in re-
lation to the claim made Templeton are not cor
rect And whether the neglect of Tempeton to
answer that demand did not enter into and mingle
with the motives which prompted the recent attacks
on him, in connection with hair dresser of this
city, Out with the truth
WALL STREET MovEMKNTs-Jacob Lltte. the
