have almost forgotten where it came from. By
its appearance, however, We judge it to be from
the Chicago Press. 1t states fact which is
both gratifying and worthy of reflection to
those who are contemplating the future useful
ness of the Western newspaper press -
Tim was when the course of newspapers
was entirely westward liza western paper was
taken in the Eastern States. it was only an oc-
casional struggling copy. The time is APP
preaching when Western papers will be extern
svely taken in the Eastern States as the New
York papers arc now taken at the West. AS
an earnest of this, We yesterday received club
of subscribers from Sussex county. n. }. The
people thereaway are becoming interested in
Western matters. and they very wisely con-
cluded the best way to get correct information
was to take Western paper. We will give
them the worth of their money"

Mr.. CAMPBELL. Is COMING We are happy to
announce that the Postmaster General is about
to make western tour. BY all means let him
not fail to come up the river as far as Minncso-

way he has neglected us, and send him back
wiser ifnot a better man. He appears never to
have been outside of a Philadelphia law Office
until called to his present position to tickle
the fancy of certain church influence; and a
western town will certainly greatly expand his
views upon the ADMINISTRATION of the Post Office
Department, if they have any elasticity what
ever belonging to them. The Galena Advent
ser speaks OF this more of Mr.. Campbell as fol-
lows:
ave arc informed that Mr.. Campbell, the Post
master General, intends to visit this part of the
country during the coming season. This is n
good notion Ofhis. After seeing the country,
he can Judge better of our wants in connection
with his department. and he will sec the prOpri-
ETY. of promptly correcting some of the evils
that now exist. Besides Mr. G. has been men,
toned as the Democratic candidate to succeed
Mr.. Pierce for the Presidency. if he can; as the
party got so badly taken the last time in their
candidate, they may feel anxious for a closer
intimacy in the future with the man for whom
they VOTE lest the error be repeated. We hope
nothing may occur to prevent his visit"
PAIXIIAN GUNs.-In a long letter to the Paris
ct, to,t hot flo prc
slams in their attack upon Sinopc, used chiefly
the guns which bear his name, and that the
Turkish rigatcs were armed only with ordinary
54-pOunders. lie disapprorcs of the huge
thrcc-dcckcrs and towering linc-ofbattle ships
of the French and English navys. like the Ma
polcon, (Which, by the way, has been sent back
to TOulon an utter failurc) and gives decided
preference to frigatcs and single-dcckcd ships,
armed with guns Of great calibrc. The vast
double or trcble-deckcd ships, he says will suf
fer more under fire, and do less damage to their
opponents, in proportion to their ornaments,
than the frigatc-built ships. Independent of
Il err greater cost and that few wcll-managcd
guns oflargc size will be generally decisive in
any future naval action.
GI- Mr.. IIolford, who recently died in Lon
don. after willing the entire of his property to
the Prince of Wales, is said to have held bonds
and mortgages in the city of New York to the
amount of over two millions of dollars. If the
reported will is true, the heir to the throne of
England is now a large holder of American Sc
curitcs. lie might hold less welcome cOmmO-

adan steamer Ottawa, Capt. McGrath, from
