Ut all the s fierce wars and faithful loves
that ever the Muse has sung, there are none
more furious or more tender than those of our
pugnacious craft As if--besides worrying or
adoring everybody else and serving every ones
hates, loves, vanities, interests, projects, kinks
quarrels-they had not their hands forever full,
they are constantly ready to handy blows with
each other and to take private tits among them
seves-their little episodes of internecine strife,
while the general atfray, for which they are
psrpetually in arms, is going on. The harmo-
nions reciprocation of invectiyes in which the
SWANS of Virgil and other pastoral poets in
dulge, with alternate verse; the dialogues Of
contending fishwomen, the mutual yituperation Of
village scolds, are all polite, peaceful and
placable, in comparison Had dIsraeli, the
elder, thought of them, when he collected OF
rather (for that was his praetice) stole his
"Quarrels of Authors he might have made a
book bigger and more belioose than the sc Naval
History of Great Britain or the French '' En-.
oyclop6die DIES Batailles; p besides that, by
coming to this country, he might have writ a
copious continuation and published it as a
Monthly Magazine Of current contentious The
latest bulletin Of one Of these learned engage
ments that has reached US is the following. The
champion, it will be perceived, does not disdain
the good old practices of biting and gouging.
On the whole, this may be considered good
specimen of that style of pugilism which the
Greek authors called the Penetration and the
Virginian entitle the Rough roll and tumble -
A CARD. In a late number of the thing at
-, which aspires to be q newspaper,
see the following paragraph
g We have been obliged to discharge one fore
man-who began to think he was the -,
and bring out our paper with three lads,
the eldest Of whom only commenced the business
with the ------- in September last We
think our present issue does him great credit
considering"
Having, until recently, been in the -
office, endeavoring to infuse some life, spirit
and good sense into the mass of stupidity
which envelopes that concern like blanket,
and having left in disgust after discovering that
all my good seed was sown in barren soil,
presume that am the ssforeman'' referred to-
Ifso, think it my duty to contradict the asser-
tion that was g discharged and to inform the
public that i 6 discharged my duty there as
furnishing myself, and then 6 discharged Mr..
Tor Doctor y , and his pitifnl office,
from my patronage and protection
The editor says that began to think that |
was the -. l not only thought
SO, but knew that was, and every body else
agreed with me- If there was any -----
about the concern, | was ------- exclu-
siyely; for, as every body in A. knows,
Doctor So has not the first -------
feature about him. He is mere maker of
badly formed pills and retailer OF drugs and
dye-stuffs, and knows no more about the science
of Q newspaper than dog does of o holiday
That his last paper was brought out by
three lads, the eldest Of whom only commenced
the business in September last is very proba-
BILE, from the looks of it--and it is likely that
all the editorials were written by the same
" lads That they are more competent to make
a good paper than their boss, feel very certain
because THEY made some progress under my in
strnetions, while HE made none at all
Inc whole matter in dispute between DIR.
-, and myself was just this: He wished
and putting sheet for his nostrums while was
determined, SO long as | was in charge Of it, to
make u hlgh-toned journal, with expanded
views and an extended range of usefulness.
Respectfully, -------.
