A SHORT NEWSPAPER GATE.
CISAI.

A writer more philosophical than
popular, in some periodicals recently
proposed the theory of educating men
for the editorial profession symtemati.
cally; deeming it as important to haze
qualified persons in charge of the pub.
l!c press, as at the bar, in tho pulpit, or
the sick room. Although the projects
not altogether practicable at this mo-
ment, still the time may come when it
will be expedient to require such pre-.
paration; and with view to aid the Cd
itorial tyro, the following manuel cate.
chism is submitted:
Question. WHAT'S daily ncwspa-
Ans,rer. tits diurnal compcndi-
um of general intelligence.
@. What are the principal ingrcdi-
ents of newspaper?
A. Fancy, Fiction and Fact?
q. How are these materials arran.
gcd?
A. That portion which comes un.
der the head Of Fancy is the editorial
department. (properly SO callcd.) en-
bodying the editors various f,vorite
theories, chimerical, rcformatory, polit-
ical and otherwise, together with cogi
tations upon miscellaneous subjects
all Of which are proposed as germs of
public opinion. The ingredient Of Eic.
tom IS that which treats of horrible mur-
ders, dreadful conaagrations, terrible
catastrophies, births, deaths and maria.
ges, notices Of new books, commcnda-
ton of arts, sciences, inventions and
medicines, and general scandal, filled
out with numerous incidal topics of
great interest to nobody. The portion
allotted to Fact embraces the advertise.
mcnts, usually with such expansive and
and comprehensive ardor, as to occupy
scven-eighths of the entire sheet.
Q. What is an editor?
A. An editor is an imaginary char
acter supposed to preside over the gen
eral arrangements, and to assume the
responsibility, as well as praise or odi-
um of all articles not otherwise provided
for.
Q. What is subsciber?
4. A subscriber is aparty contrac-
ting with the publishers, who agree to
find in tho paper quid proquo for his
money invested.
9. What arc the rights Of subscrii-
bers2
"A. Subscribers are entitled to re.
ceive their paper regularly, and if ad-
vertisers, to have their notices prompt

duly presented.

DEATH OF COL. CROGHAN.

"This distinguished officer died last eve.
ming from the effect of disease resembling
cholera, which he suff red to remain upon him
for near two days, before calling in medical as.
ss,ancc. He was attacked on Saturday, but
paid no heed to his complaint ill towards noon
on Monday, when his symptoms became so
distressing that medical aid was summoned, but
no relief could lie had from the most skilful and
considerate treatment. He fingered till night.

When he felt the hand CT death upon him he
gave directions as to the disposition Of his body
with the greatest calmness, intrusled various
messages with surrounding friends, and closed
his eyes forever. E.
"CoIonel Croghan was the son of Major
William Croghan, Of the revolutionary war.
His mother was the sister of the celebrated
General George Rogers Clark, who overran
the Northwestern Territory during the struggle
for American independence, and achieved sr
the United States the title by conquest by
which that immense tract of country, now sub.
divided into States aud tceming with thrifty
and hardy population, became a part Of this
confederacy. Both upon the father and the
mothers side he Inherited the blood Of The
revolution.
"Upon the breaking out OF the last war,
Col. Croghan entered the army. At the early
age of nineteen he made The gallant defence Of
Fort Sundusky. BY this brilliant feat he in.
scribed his name upon the scroll of fame. He
married and resigned his commission shortly
after the peace. But during the administration
of Gen. Jackson he returned to the service
with the commission Of inspector general, which
was rendered to him by that illustrious COM
mander. lie held this office up to the time of
his death H. was in his fifty. ninth year, and
leaves behind him a wife and family.
"It was scarcely hoped That he wo7ld live
through the day yesterday. 1t was the glorious
eighth OF January. and as the booming of can
non wsuld shake the chamber Of death, thoughts
of the olden time would come over him, and he
would straightway revive. He had heard such
sounds long ago, and they spoke to him of the
past. Towards evening he weakened as the

Our Town.

We remember to have heard, that Director of
the Rail Road was astonished to hear that upwards
1000 packages OF Merchandise had been received
at the Depot here in one day. For the information
of those at distance who are in the habit of
thinking of our venerable Town, as an insignf.
cant place, we beg leave TO state, that more than
thirty thousand bales of cotton have been already
shipped on the Camden Branch Rail Road this
season. This is the number assumed as The maxi
mum of yearly receipts by the proprietors OF this
enterprise; and yet we are assured by intelligent
and extensive Dealers in Cotton, that this amount
will be at least doubled Besides this, the Steam
er Wateree has made number Of successful
trips, carrying full freight of Cotton. Our
streets are crowded with wagons and present
most lively appearance Of business and we have
little doubt that our Market will continue to afford
such inducements 10 the Planter as to insure the
continuance of this increased trade.

A FRIEND IN NEED.

The colored race in this country never want.

friends, who wish to see them comfortable, safe

and safety which they have ever enjoyed since
they left the land of Cush, is in what is called
siheis slavery in the Southern States; and this
comfort and safety they are about to be robbed
.ofsbya host of sympalhizing politicians, calling
themselves free soil men and the friends of the
coored race.
Here, at the North, the poor blacks are not
permitted to work alongside Of the white man.
