SENATOR BoRLAKD The Hon Scion Borland, who
was recently appointed governor OF New Mexico, has
declined that honor and has subsequently been appointed
by the Presden, minister 10 Central America in place OF
Hon. Mr.. Sde who declined to accept this mission.
The appointment OF Mr.. Borland to this important po-
sition we regard excellent one. He served his
country with great distinction in the war with Mexico
and since he has been in the United States Senate he has
exhibited ability and industry well calculated TO fiji
him for the position that has been assigned him.

TO OUR BRETHREN OF THE PRESS.

Our Acknowledgements are due, and we pre-
sent them most cordially, 10 our brethren OF the
Press, for the kindly greetings we have received
at their hands We have been little tardy,
perhaps, in expressing our thanks, but have
waited a few days in order to thank all at once
To our nearest neighbors, the presses Of this
city, we feel particularly obliged for their prompt
and complimentary notices Of the !" Sentinel"
If we shall prove to be deserving of half only
of the kind things said of MS, we will be con.
tent. He is, indeed, a lucky man who is well
reported Of BY all, and he must needs be vain
man who expects to find universal favor. We
are not Of such, and We doubt not that we shall
soon receive some hard hits and some SHARP
rcbukes. Well if they be but gentle taps, We
viii try to b. patient and accomplishing; but
II they should turn out blows, instead Of taps,
we will be compelled to muster mp our courage
and hit right heartily in return. "Tit for tat
is recognized all the world over as good rule
We thank our friends, one and all, and shall
strive TO merit their good opinions

.poor Richardn Regulated.

A writer in Blackwoods Magazine comes
down upon the over.prudent men of the day in
the following style:
We have no hesitation in saying that we
consider the man who does not expend more
than half his income as a catiff and losel
How he expends it, is altogether different
question:; but except in the way of gross i'm.
morality, we are decidedly of opinion that
scale Of expenditure is public blessing. We
have an intense antpathy to the mean apo
thegms which we occasionally see quoted, we
presume, from the margin of Miser's Almanack,
"Waste not, want not" "a pin day is groat
year," "A penny saved is a penny got y
"There are forty sixpences in a pound, and a
pound is the Seeding of hundred" No
doubt there is germ Of truth in all these pro-
positions for it is as absurd to be recklessly
extravagant as it would be to eat Bank Of
England notes with your bread and butter;
but the reiteration OF them is offensive, and
they sound like the maxims Of scavenger.
One coat in the year may be sufficient to cover
your nakedness; but if you can afford them
by all means get three or four. In the first
place, your appearance will be materially i'm.
proved, which, let us tell you, is often no mean
consideration, in so far as your own interest is
concerned. Many a clever fellow has been
doomed, through sheer seediness, to hard strug.
giles and disappointment and has most I'M
justly blamed his stars, whereas, in fact, the
fault lay with his apparel. We are acquainted
with mertorious Wing who has three times
been cruelty used by his party on account Of
the inveterate greasiness Of his garments In
the next place, You have the comfortable con.
viction that YOU are contributing your Just
share to the support Of a score of excellent in
dividuals, including the farmer, manufacturer,
and Snip, the tailor who looks to you for his daily
sor Of stock of old clothes, which, if you have
the feelings Of q gentleman, you will bestow
upon some INDECENT Christian, instead of basely
bartering them to Levite.

nov. DANIEL $. DICKINSON.

The National Era of This city, the recognized
organ of the abolitionists, contains an attack
upon the Hon. D. S. Dickinson, because Of his
course with regard TO the anti.slavery agitation.
As the National Era does not circulate
among those whom we desire 10 take our pa
per, it may appear work of snpererogation for
rs TO defend Mr. Dickinson against an attack ema-
mating from that quarter. But the condition OF
public affairs is such that We feel il 10 be our
duly to place on record the feelings we enter
tain toward citizen who has rendered most
eminent service to the country and whose char
acter and motives are the subjects of illiberal
criticism and unjust assault.
We remember well the time when every pa
triot looked with eagerness and fear TO the pro-
ceedings Of Congress. Party passions were in.
famed, and sectional jealousies almost convulsed
the nation. Even brave men held their breath
in view of the black cloud which lowered over
rs. The cords which bound the Union together
were strained 10 their utmost tension, and the
people Of the south were stung to madness by
the often repeated assertion, that the northern
and southern democracy were disunited and
separated. and that there was nowhere in the
north men who would breast the strong current
of anti-slavery agitation, and stand firmly by
the guarantees OF the Constitution.
We remember, also, how Daniel $. Dickin-
son, then a Senator from New York, bore him
self in that dark and trying hour. Firm, erect,
acknowledgements of all personal aims
he faced the threats of faction with q cool,
calm courage, worthy of Roman senator in
the palmies, DAYS of Rome. Casting away
from him all selfish purposes-trampling under
| foot all mercena.y motives--he stood forth as
the representative Of the whole country, advo-
eating the Constitution, maintaining the right,
| and striving 10 awaken and rekndle those feel,
ings of amity and friendship which carried the
colonies through the Revolution, and united
them in one confederacy when their liberties
were achieved.
Regarding Governor Dickinson as we do, it
tries our patience 10 see him abused by faction.
| ists-hy the dsorganizcrs whose miscellaneous
purposes would shatter the Union into fag-
ments. The whole country owes him a debt
of gratitude for his noble efforts to defeat tho
men who now assal him. Those efforts were
not Intellectual. Peace and tranquility were
restored TO the country; but now the very men
| who brought the great trouble upon US, instead
of repentng their miscellaneous policy, come
forward with puritanical professions Of purity,
md attempt TO strangle those who thwaried
their iniquitous purposes.

Hon. r. H. Stanton has become one Of the pub

acceptable to its readers, and useful to the de-
mocratic party, We shall accomplish all that we
propose to do, or that could be expected from

How DUMAS wRITEs-In his way of working
he is as eccentric as in everything else.
Whether owing to his African blood, or to some
popularity of constitution know not, but he is
afflicted with great natural heat of body, and has
difficulty in bearing clothing upon him. So he
strips to his shirt-yery often discarding even
that, and sits naked, with the exception Of short
thin drawers. He establishes himself at large
table, which he sprawls upon rather than sits at,
in the middle of a large room, and before him
are large sheets of paper Of uniform size.
From practice he knows exactly how much
tcuilleton each of these sheets will make. Over
this paper he crouches, in his state of almost
nudity, looking like huge. halfbleached negro,
as he is, and scribbles away with the speed Of
a locomotive. He writes clearly, and rarely
makes corrections or alters even word. As
each sheet is full he throws it from him, until
the floor is Uttered with manuscript. In this
way he will get through half volume in a
night-French volumes, certainly, with very
few lines in page; but still the quantity is
enormous for the time. On one side of him he
will have heap of oranges, on the other plate
of raisins-those being his favorite refreshments
when working. From time to time he takes a
bit Of an orange, and then on again, toiling
against time.-London paper.
