have so many irons in the fire, that
frequently a eonfrerc of the press calls
to see him, and he is not in. The re-
suit il, if the confrcre writes d com
mnnication to his paper, he makes no
mention of the courtesy Of the Com
cts editor" faculty which above all
others we pride ourself upon, and will
measure noses with any man in Chris
tiandom. Another thing, is, that Tow
ing to our frequent absense from the
front Office az before said) we lave not
the felicity Of meeting such as call on
on us, and consequently they are not
noticed in this exemplary paper, which
(when they are) is passport for them
into the elite and fashionable world,
forever. Now it is, that we desire to
give notice to all interested, that we
have desk with pen, ink and paper
always on hand, and such Of our con
frers as enll lin order to get notice)
can take the said pens, ink and paper
and notice themselves. Such notices
shall always 60 in veybatim ct liter
atim. We have french mirror over
the said desk, upon which man has
only to look second, to find an un-
qualified approval Of what he says of
himself.
The editor Of the "Southern Jour
nal' New Orleans paper, was here
the other day, and after making the
usual stereotyped remarks about our
city, the lack Of eatables, and drink
ables, the peculiarities Of our Aeas, and
mosquitoes, he comes to notice tho
city press Of which he very truly says:

furnished to the daily mental appetite
Of the Baton Rougeans. We are not
acquainted with the principal or assis-
tant editors, but can speak with conf
dence of the gcntlemanly qualities Of
one Of the proprietors, now in the
North. The Comet" we have crst-
while had occasion to comment on in
The Journal We deem it, as its cdi-
Tor, rather erratic in its course, and
withal inconsistent. The Know Moth
ing sentiment pervades both his and
The daily "Gazette's' editorial articles
and selections.
We can inform the editor Of tho
Journal, chat had We known Of his pre-
sence in town, we should have certain
y noticed the fact, which wyuld have
,auscd him, (perhaps) to have modif-
ID his notion about our being an ter
ATTIC and inconsistant Know-Noth-
ng." The New Orleans editor of the
'ame, publishes the following chaste
,uH Of himself from our neighbor, on
church street, in the same column
With his Baton Rouge correspondent:
We had the pleasure, this morning,
If meeting with Mr.. MoREpEAp, the

Il, published at New Orleans. Mr..

'ellow fever. We hope be will find
he present pure and healthy stmos.
