kind, we think there is an error as respects the
manner of effecting the object aimed at. IL
should not be done in total disregard of the de-
sires and will of the employers. Sound pohoy
and kindly feeling unite to enforce tne' we
think that instead of sudden resolve 10 40 no
more work on the Sabbath day-espeeially IN
view Of the not wholly groundiess argument that
an urgent necessity for 1t sometimes exists-the
printers should have used gentier and equally
eficacious mode of producing the desired result
For instance: the immediate addition Of twenty
per cent. to the price of all Sabbath work, and
the addition Of ten per cent. every month, until
loube wages should be exacted--at which point
the increase might be suspended until experience
would determine the wisdom of the measure
would, in our opinion, effect the purpose without
begetting in the mind of any one desire to de-
feat it. BY this means time would be allowed to
each publisher to adapt himself to the new cir
cumstances, and in such manner most probably
as not to prejudice his interests. The work to
be done would be carefully scrutinized, and no
thing would be performed that could possibly be
dispensed with; and if an ascertained very small
quantity should be found absolutely necessary,
it's execution would not be criminal, the men
who would perform it would be very literally
compensated, and but brief hour of each Sab
bath day would be devoted to the task.
Our friends of Richmond both parties Of
them-must pardon us for obtruding our advice
upon them. Our apology is, that although we
have been speaking of this particular case, our
remarks are designed for more general applica-
ton We have heretofore had occasion to allude
to this subect and we design to continue to
press it upon the attention Of all the printers of
the United States, until they adopt the plan we
propose, or some efficient plan of effecting the
wished-for reform. No trade has ever been so
much abused by the prevalence of pernicious prac
tees as unreasonable and absurd as they are OPP
pressive. A little manly resolution, a little for
titude, little effort, will set all right. No re-
form has ever been made by working men not
designed and executed by themselves. The present
will prove no exception to this rule, except that
the good wishes and the support of the whole
community of every city in the Union will be
more decidedly with the printers now than upon
any occasion in the history of all the reforms
they have achieved.

THE COMMERCE OF THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
Lieutenant Maury, in his letter to the South
western Railroad Convention, predicts that
soon as there is commercial thoroughfare across
the Isthmus, which will unload, handle, and
transport the breadstuffs, with the other heavy
produce of the Mississippi Valley, across the
Isthmus, and put them on board ship in the
Pacific for less than it costs to get them far as
Cape Horn on the way around, that moment is

Death on the Railroad.

The first newspaper we opened this morning
contained the following notice.
A young lady, yesterday, standing on the Bath
track, at Brunswick, waiting for the Kennebec
train to pass, was killed Immediately by the Bath
train backing over her. The whole train passed
over her, except the engine. Her name was Lin
coin, the daughter Of widow Lincoln, of Bruins
wick, about eighteen years DID,, and very beauti-
full Her body was horribly mangled.
Portland (Ae.) argus, ION inst
We scarcely ever open a newspaper that does
not contain some such notice. The mortality on
the railroad track is fearfully great The aggre-
gate number of deaths of this character in the
United States in one year would. startle every
one. Neither war nor pestilence could prove
a source of much greater terror. The steamboat
disasters appal us by the number of those who
perish at time; but the isolated cases on the
railroads are so frequent as to make n fearful
count of numbers when added up.
Are there no means of producing greater safety =?
Can no regulations be adopted to enforce greater
caution? Here is fitting field for benevolent
legislation. May it receive prompt attention.
