NEWSPAPER FILEs.-Even the poorest ne wspa-
per published in the World is worth being filed
away for future reference. They are sure to come
up some day as important "reminiscences. and even
as evidence in important lawsuits We see this
daily illustrated Persons are constantly calling
to examine our files, and not circuit court is
held but that some one-and often two or three
connected with our office, receives summons to
attend, with files of the paper to be used in evil
dence. This subjects us at times to 10 little an
noyance, besides loss of time We do not notice
the matter, however, for the purpose of complain
ing. but to suggest that the archives of every
county in which a newspaper is published should
contain file of such paper, and that some provis-
ion should be made by law to make it the duty
of the probate judge clerk of the circuit court
or both. to provide and preserve these files. Such
is the law in several of the States of the Union
and such law should be established in Alabama

Arraignment Of the Insurrect;on;.t.

| Jas. Dyson. the school-master and the slave
Albert, belonging to DR.. Rushton, were yesterday
brought up before Recorder Winter, and after the
affidavits charging them with having conspired
to create an insurrection against the white inhab-
ltants oil the city were read to them. they plead
ed not guilty, and were remanded for examina-
tion on Wednesday next. Dyson is a tall, thin
faced man, who has on several previous occasions
been before our Courts on criminal charges. He
is SAID to have been connected with the robbery
OF Mr.. Shaw by his confidential slave Spencer a
year or so ago. He said he hoped that he would
be confronted by his accusers on examination day.
when il he was not mistaken, a very different
story would turn up. He also asked permission
to send the key of his school, house back to its
owner Albert is short thick-set mulatto. and
is unusually intelligent The story of his being
under the influence of defirimm trcnpns is simply
ridiculous as much so at least as it wonld be II
