What he Is pleased TO say about lazy papers, and

be surprised TO know that those sieepy edtos wouid

The american further proceeds to wedQe that
the news in Baltimore three days before 1t appeared
in that paper but that the delay caused by the ne.

the news to the papers, The New York papers are

Captain Walter then addressed the following letter to
the editors of the Ame,ioda:-
GENTLEMEN In your paper of this date notice your

70 ask Of better taste and Of justice sufficient
room in your columns for a reply.
The facts in the case very simple The bark PhAu-
tom her veyage from Rio to Baltimore fell in with the
British ship Cambria in sinking condition. and rescued
her entire in safety. Upon arriving a Cape Henry
the LIST INSTANT landed them, with the aid Of 3
pilot boat the captain being csrous to land at the rst
port where he could confer with the British Consul.

This letter gives curious insight into journalism ia
the third city Of the Union II seems that the ship
departments Of all the papers IL edited by clerk in
the Reading Room, and that sometimes when he sends

copied from the HERALD, pretending that the news arriv-
cd in New York Grst Great place, Batmore-but very
slow--yery slow.
