WONDERFUL IxrRovEMESr IN THE NEwspA-
PER Pass. have been engaged for some
weeks past in examining some improvements
In the newspaper press which arc almost mi.
raculous, and are hardly to be believed with
out actual demonstration. These improve
ments comprchcnd-frst,a now process in
paper making; second, new system of typo
making or sterotyping; third, a new princ-
! pie in the construction Of the printing press
| All these improvements arc in such state Of
forwardness ss TO put their success beyond
the possibility Of doubt, while they present
aggregate results which are perfectly aston.
ishing, even in the present advanced state OF
| practical science and skill. With the appli-
cation of these three improvements in the man.
ufacture Of newspapers, we will be enabled ac-
tually to print and issue---with less cxpendi-
turc Of capital than we have to employ at least
| one hundred Mousaad shtcts per hour. This
miraculous issue Of hundred thousand sheets
in an hour may appear impracticable and i'm
possible; but we have the strongest confidence,
derived from our own examination of these Inn
provements, that in the course of six or nine
months wc will be actually enabled to exhibit
| this piece Of enterprise in the issue Of the Now
York Herald.
II is no idle OF visionary project. We can
not more particularly specify matters at the
| present moment; but take the statement we
have already made a. the basis OF future ope.
rations, and il will enable us to establish an
original journal on the plan of the Herald
and Oh our own capital---not only Mt Baltimore,
! Philadelphia, and Boston, but also to establish
subsidiary journals commensurate with the
population Of towns OF such magnitude as
Washington, Richmond, Cincinnati, st. Louis
Detroit and Buffalo. We arc convinced that
we arc only in the first stage of the ticyelopc
ment Of tl,c newspaper press, as applied tt
social. commercial. and political affairs Off
great Republic like that Of the United States
} During the last few years the independent
journalism Of this country has been an impor
tant element Of the government, more power
ful than il. aud now beyond the reach OF mere
party factions and men. In few years NOR,
