The author of the above work, in common

TROUBLE AMONG THE Observation-Disclosures
FIGnT.-We refer our readers this morning to a
bulletin in another column, coming from what
is called Woods Christy's Minstrels, which lifts
the curtain in reference to some historical mat
tiers connected with these minstrels, and shows
a great deal Of the fire-eating propensity to in
dulge in row. This bulletin may create some
amusement among those who patronize such
places. The first gun is fired by the new line !;
Of course the old line must reply. All that we
require of both lines of minstrels is to be short
in their manifestocs, pungent sensible to the
point, and, above ALL let them drink nothing
but cold water during the row.

LAUNCH OF TIE STEAMSHIP YANKEE BLADE-Mr E. Mills's
new steamship Yankee Blade will be launched by Messrs
Perrine Stack at Williamsburg, on Thursday next, at
half-past three O'Clock. She is . very handsomely
modelled vessel OF $50 tons burthen and will leave the
ways with her machinery board, which was supplied
from the Alaire Works She leaves here on the goth
December for Aspnwal TO connect with the Uncle SAM
at Panama.
THE GRxAT RrPrBIc.-We learn that this magnificent
ship will leave this port in two three days for New
York, where she will load for Liverpool. On her arrival
there is very probable that she will be sold but if
not she may take freight and passengers to Australia
Capt. L. Mckay formerly of the Sovereign Of the Seas
will command her.-Boaon advertiser, Nov. Z.

WONDERFUL IMPROVEMENTS IN TIE NEWSPAPER
PREss.-We have been engaged for some weeks
past in examining some improvements in the
newspaper press which are almost miraculous,
and are hardly to be believed without actual
demonstration These improvements compre-
hend-irst, q new process in paper making; Sc
cond, new system Of type making, or stereo-
tipping; third, q new principle in the eonstruc-
ton of the printing press. All these improve
ments are in such state of forwardness as to
put their success beyond the possibility of
donbt, while they present aggregate results
which are perfectly astonishing, even in the
present advanced state of practical science aud
skill. With the application of these three i'm
provements in the manufacture Of newspapers
we will be enabled actually to print and issue
with essexpenditure of capital than we now have
toemploy at least one hundred thousand sheets
per hour. This miraculous issue of a hundred
thousand sheets in an hour may appear imprac-
ticable and impossible; but we have the strong
est confidence, derived from our own examina-
ton Of these improvements, that in the course
of six or nine months we will be actually ena-
abled to exhibit this piece Of enterprise in the
issue of the New YORK HERALD.
1t is no idle or visionary project We can
not more particularly specify matters at the
present moment but take the statement we
have already made as the basis Of future opera
tions, and it will enable us to establish an orr
ginal journal on the plan of the HERALD-and
on our OVID capital-not only at Baltimore, Phil
adelpbia and Boston, but also to establish sub
sidiary journals commensurate with the popula-
ton of towns of such magnitude as Washington.
Richmond, Cincinnati ST. Louis, Detroit, and
Buffalo. We are convinced that we are only in
the first stage Of the Development of the news
paper press, as applied to the social, CONNER
cial, and political affairs Of great republic |
like that Of the United States. Daring the last
few years the independent journalism OF this
country has been an important element of the
government, more powerful than it, ard now
beyond the reach Of mere party factions and
men. In few years more it will be the prin-
cipal acting and living government of the land,
and the legal government at Washington will
merely register the DEGREES Of the American
mind as first promulgated by the independent
journalism OF the land.
We are, therefore only in the first stage of the
great age Of intellectual Development and Of
mechanical wonders.

PROBABLE TRIUMPH OF THE MAINE LAW
MOVEMENT According to all appearances, and
in the confusion Of all the old factions In this
State, it is highly probable that the friends of
temperance will carry majority Of both
branches of the Legislature that Ia to meet at
Albany next winter. If that should turn out
to be the fact by the election Of to-day, it will
operate with wonderful effect on the mind OF the
present Governor of the State. Governor Sey-
mour possesses talents of high order, with
strong tendency to temperance in everything,
and the purest morality in life. We rather
suspect, therefore, that should the Legislature
pass law similar to that which has distin-
guisfcd the State Of Maine and other States, in
respect to whiskey- drinking and rum-guzzling,
that Governor Seymour will interpose no diff
culties, but sign the law ct once, in opposition
to the remonstrances of those who arc interested
on the other side Of the question This being
the practical view we take in one raint Of the
result of the election in this State, It might be
as we'll for all persons who are interested either
for or against temperance, who have capital in
grogshops or who have capital in opposition
to grogshops, to guide themselves accordingly;
for we suspect we will have, during the next
few years, to go, in this State, into cold water
regimen. Well, we are not much offended
personally at that, for we have been a
good deal of a cold water parsonage
for great many years, though we willnot give
up the right to drink when we please, and how
much we please. In that point Of view we are
decidedly in the same frame Of mind os the late
Chancellor Kent. who said: " ] am temperance
man, am cold water man; have always been

[ Alhoun, and imprudently ascribel their eleva-
ion to the result Of acontemptble coalition be-
tween q few spoils-seeking hunkers and spoils-
seeking barnburners at Baltimore. Is isnot natu-
raj that so gross an Insult offered to the common
sense of the people of this country by their
rulers, SHOULD have bred general feeling of
recklessness among minor politicians, with re-
gard to principle? Seeing it thrust out of the
way by the first men in the country, was it not
inevitable that their followers would come to
regard it as q matter Of no consequence what
ever, and to think that right and wrong, loyalty
and treason, fidelity and disaffection, were con-
vertible terms? Can we wonder that the poll
tics of this State should have degenerated into
a game at hazard, when the politics of the
Union are directed by an administration pos
sessing not one single element of conference,
and holding together solely by the cement OF
the spols?
We offer no advice to the public with regard
to the course they should pursue to-day. Some
may possibly overcome their instructive disgust
at the intrigues of the past few months, and
visit the polls. Those have our sympathy for
their courage. Others, and they will comprise
the bulk of honest men, will shrink from conta-
minating themselves by contact with the knaves
who are battling for the State and City spoils.
These will commisserate with US our fallen po-
litical condition and, in view of what is pass
ng around us, will steal from anger moment
to devote to sorrow.
Sorrowful, indeed, it is to contrast the pic
ture offered by November 1852. with that
which this present month presents. A sor-
rowful study to inquire how an adminstra-
ton, which was raised to power by the joyful
acclamations of millions of loyal citizens has,
in one short year, not only forfeited every claim
it had to esteem and popularity, but has actu-
ally succeeded in demoralizing parties through
out this Union, and lowered the politics of this
State to an unparalleled depth of degradation
melancholy task to philosophize on the
rapidly with which lack of principle spreads
through a country, and to speculate on the
ultimate results it may achieve before it is
checked!
How long the Administration shall continue
to exercise such baneful influence on the
morals Of the country, the people and Congress
will soon be called upon to determine. We do
not anticipate their verdict. But if there be
any love for honor or principle feft in this land
the Administration that has brought this dis
grace upon us, ought not Cannot, must not
stand.

TIE NAVIGATION OF THE AMAZON We have received com.
muncaon on the subject of the navigation of the ANA
zon in Peru asking what effect the recent protest of the

ment declaring the river in its territories free to the c
zens OF all nations with which she has treaties can be Of
any practical effect long the Of Brazil
Is withheld, inasmuch to reach Peru by the Amazon
requires to pass the whole extent of Brazil And
the act itself provides that persons awaiting
OF Its provisions must FIRST obtain the sanction of Brazil
The government OF the latter empire does not seem in
cned however, to grant such facilities to Foreigners
30 that in fact the Peruvian decree is virtually nuty
and of no real avail company in this city some time
since sent out ship there with ahs materials for con-
structng one or moro steamboats,, but we apprehend
they will be stopped in their project by this inimcal
sentiment of Brazil
We also find, as we stated day two since that the
treaties concluded by General Urquiza with the repre-
sentatives Of France and the United States have
been protested against by the Of the province
Of Buenos Ayres.
