Harvey, the letter writer of the cabinet is

A NEW SOUTHERN PREss.--FfRsr SrEP.--Some
time ago, sixty-thIee members OF Congress issued
J701luncidmeato on Southern rights and the news
paper business, and the result now comes out, in
the shape Of a prospectus of the Southern Press,
which will be found in our columns We thought
that he members of Congress had enough 10 do to
attend TO their public duties, without entering upon
the thorny and perpleXing path Of journalists.
They will have their hands fail, not only with po-
ltics, but with lterery criticisms, original essays,
general news, both foreign and domestic, and the
other departments which they intend to supervise
and collsts for. They viii find il curious bust
ness, especially for green hands. They don't say
whether they viii insert poetry, epigrams, cpl
logues, ecologues, deaths or marriages, &c. &c.
However, to give them every possible chance to
start well, and to make good appearance, and TO
work of upon the public mind large editions, we
can recommend them to the Messrs Hoe, of this
city, for one of the latest steam presses, which will
do execution remarkably, at the rate of Il, 567
sheets per hour-to James Conner, for the type
and Persse IL Brooks for the paper. These are
the chaps who supply us, and assist so much the
public demand for our sheet-for which we pay
them cash on The nail and sometimes cash before
the nail is in sight. They should do likewise; for,
by paying cash, much is to be gained besides the
large aniecedent shave. 1t is the true basis of
success. If money is not plentiful, they should
make claim upon the treasury. They have as
much RICH, as Crawford to hundred thousand
dollars, or mere, and should have no scruples at
getting it, by hook or by crook, as has recently
been done. The treasury is full now of gold dust,
and can afford to spare some OF lis useless funds.
Try II on.
BY the way, in looking over the prospectus, we
ind Mr.. Tcombs is of those at the head Of this
new newspaper. Is not this rather curious five

ed, the floor Of Congress, all editors and every
body connected with the press, set of scurvy
knayes, and no gentlemen. Has any great change

it COED policy TO turn journalist and editor, we

newspaper writer. lie viii soon be able TO DO him
