The FARMERS AND TIE NEWSPAPER PREss.-
The newspaper press in the United States and
particularly in New York and other large cities
has become SO essential an element of society,
that it could scarcely exist without it. The man
who does not subscribe to paper and read the
news of the day, is looked upon by his ie-
low-citizens as one hopelessly fallen, and de-
graded below the ordinary standard of hui
manity. The advantages which the press con-
fers on the country are innumerable The high
est and the lowest over the whole country are
benefited by it; and the man who would stand
up and deny the moral power that it exercises,
would be considered insane.
Although every class is benefited by the press,
there is one class more benefited than any other
and that is the largest--wc mean the agricultural
part OF the community and yet, strange to say
the press is less indebted to them for the patron
age it enjoys than TO any other class. The farm
ing interest Of the United States has been saved
hundreds of thousands of dollars during the past
year by the efforts which the Herald made, and
successfully, to defeat the wel-laid plans and
stratagems Of the spectators TO obtain late ac-
counts of the markets IN Europe in advance Of
the regular channels. We expended a great many
dollars within twelve months past, in running cx-
presses, and obtaining late news from the old
world. II We had not done so, the Spectators
would have succeeded in fleeing tie farmer
out Of his grain and other produce at low prices.
But we did SO, and the consequence was that the
spectators plotted in vain, and the farmer OBJ
taincd the highest market price for what he had
10 sell.
In no instance, for year past, has the Herald
been beaten in obtaining news, while on many
occasions our subscribers were placed in posses
sion Of the state of the foreign markets, before
they were informed of il from any other source.
II il by such enterprise this that our patron
age hus reached its present enormous extent,
and it is by the same kind of enterprise tina, we
expect to have it twice as large as it now is

The Child and the Autumn Leaf.

BY SAMUEL LOVER. IS -
Down by the river bank stray'd
Upon an autumn day; ~ I'll Il
Beside the fading forest there is,
| saw a child at play. aar ie W.
She play'd among the yellow leaves H
The leaves that once were green,
And flung upon the passing stream
What once had blooming been: ass
Oh! deeply did it touch my heart w
To see that child at play ;s m
1t was the sweet, unconscious sport 1, -
OF childhood with decay. $gs
Fair child, if by this stream thon'stray,
When after years go by,
The scene that makes thy childhood's spor
May wake thy ages sigh; 4
When fast you see around you fall
The summers leafy pride,
And mark the river hurrying on
In ne'erreturning tide; III
Then may you feel, in pensive mood,
That life's summer dream;
And man, at Inst, forgotten falls
A leaf upon the stream.

The total loss Of the Mexicans in the tire

number Of their wounded is unknown. Gu
total loss was II killed and ~ wounded, tire
of whom have since died.
On the 25th ultimo, Captain Hendley (of Col
WiIlock's BartalionO who was in command 0
the grazing parties on the Rio Moro, marched
with 80 men, to the town of Moro, to suppress
the insurrection there, and arrest the murde
rers Of .Messrs. Culver, Waldo, Noyes and 9th.
ers, who were massacred at that place.
| He found body OF Mexicans under arms
prepared to defend the town, and while forming
his men in line for attack, small party OF
the insurgents were seen running from the hills
"a detachment was ordered to cut them off,
which was attacked by the main body of the
enemy. A general engagement Immediately
ensued, the Mexicans retreating and firing from
the windows and loop holes in their houses
Capt. Hendley and his men closely pursued,
rushing into their houses with them, shooting
some and running others through with bayo-
nets. A large body of the insurgents had ia
ken possession of an old fort, and commenced
fire from the loop holes upon the A mericans
Capt. H., with small party, had taken posses
sion Of an apartment in the fort, and while pre-
pairing to fire it, was shot by ball from an ad-
joining room. He fell, and died in a few
minutes. Our men having no artillery, and the
fort being impregnable without it, retired to
La Vegas. The enemy had rs killed and II
taken prisoners. Our loss, killed and 2 or
wounded.
On the Ist inst, Capt. NORM, who had been
ordered from Santa Fe by Col. Wilcox, to sue
coed Capt Hendley in the command, proceeded
with body of men, and one piece of cannon,
to Moro, and RACED the towns upper and low er
Moro) to the ground, the insurgents having fed
to the mountains. Several Mexicans were
captured, supposed to be concerned in the mur-
der of Messrs. Culver, Waldo and others, and
after many threats, were forced to show where
the bodies were buried. Seven of them were
found and carried to La Vegas for interment.

CASE IN PoINT.-The mode in which the
War Department interfered with the officer
under Gen. TAyLoR's command, was mucE
stronger case, than the one which called fortl
the following orderfrom Gen. JACKSON. In tn,
former case the army was not only in the field
but engaged in active hostlities in an enemy'I
country, where such interference might have
compromised the whole plan of the campaign,
and the safety of the entire army-in General
Jackson's case, it was period of peace, when
no such results could have followed, and if
Gen. Jackson was Justified in issuing such an
order, how much greater has been General
Taylor's cause of complaint, under all the cir
cumstances Of the case Nv o. Bulletin.
The Uay Gen. Jackson did it. - When, in
1917 the Secretary undertook to transmit or
ders direct to officers under his command, Gen.
Jackson promptly met it by the following coun-
ter order. Read it.

H. @. DIVISION OF THE SoUTH,1
MashrllLe. .4prlL %. 1917. {

The commanding general considers it due to
the principles of subordination, which ought
and must exist in an army, to prohibit the ODE.
dience of any order emanating from the de.
partment of War to officers of this Division
who have reported and been assigned to duty,
unless coming through him as the proper organ
of communication. The object of this order
is to prevent the recurrence of circumstance
which removed an important officer from the
Division without the knowledge of the COM
handing general, and, indeed, when he suppos-
ed that officer engaged in his official duties,
and anticipated hourly the receipt of his offici
reports, on asubject of great importance to his
command. =
Superior officers having commands assigned
them, are held responsible to the Government
for the character and conduct of that command /;
and it might as well be justified in an officer,
senior in command, to give orders to guard
on duty, without passing that order through the
officer of that guard, as that the department Of
War should countemand the arrangements Of
commanding generals, without giving their or
ders through the proper channel. To acquiesce
in such a course, would be a tame surrender of
military rights and etiquette; and at once SUBJ
vert the established principles of subordination
and good order. Obedience to the lawful
commands of superior officers is constitution
ally and morally required: but there is a chain
Of communication that binds the military COM
pact, which, if broken, opens the door of dis
obedience and disrespect, and gives loose to
the turbulent spirits who are ever ready to ex-
cite mutiny.
By order Of Msjor-General JACKSON.
