SToP NY PAPER-The following remarks
are too good to be thrown to one side
without, at least, passing notice. They
are true to the latter, und suitable to all
localities. We are of opinion that the
weakest capacity cannot fail to understand
them.
It's astonishing what exalted notions some
persons have Of their own Importance.
They seem to imagine that they are alto
geiher necessary 10 the onward roll of our
little world, and if by any means they
should be showed out Of the way, the screws
would be 50 loose, that the old machine
would no longer hold together; and of
course, if such important personages only
say to an editor, stop my paper" the
whole establishment muse 60 to nOught
instanter
We have often laughed in our sleeve
though outwardly we looked us grave as
an owl-when one of these regulators Of
the world has marched into our sanctum
aud ordered dscontinuance Of his paper.
And it always does us good to see the
starch taken out of him while the editor
smilingly replies, certainly, sir, with the
greatest pleasure, just as soon as the clerk
has entered a dozen or more names which
have Just been sentin." The mighty man
willis down like the narrative of whipped
spaniel, and he shrinks away, muttering to
himself, "Well, I'm afraid that stopping
my paper has not ruined him after ALL"
These swels who stop their papers on
account of some milf which has found its
way into their Uranium, are sure to borrow
their neighbor's copy to see if it does not
contain the editors farewell address to his
readers.
We once knew minister who in describ-
ing Christians character, and the circum'
spection of his walk, said the way TO heaven
required as much care as it did for cat
to walk on wall covered with broken
bottles. 1t is somewhat so with 0n editor,
if he pleases everybOdy.-Ldncaster Wing.

OLD Dr. BEEcHEAs RULE-One of the
hest practical observations | ever heard,
was made, about year ago, in meeting
in this city, by a venerable minister whom
all good men appear ready to honor and
love If do not quote the words exactly
he will hardly censure me. They were
nearly as follows: "When yOu hare aHy-thing
10 do, don't tell Il, beforehand, the derH reiLi
be sure TO gel up some opposition TO IT," II,
said the patriarchal counsellor, / hare 0e.
complishod any good in my life, il has been By
acting upon The rule, tchen had anything 10
do, Of going and doing H7 My own ex-
perience corresponds precisely with the
former part Of this statement. Nothing
is more common, than for the simplest plans
Of usefulness to be opposed by purblind or
intentional mysifcation; and the frank
expression of a pleasant hope, to be perver-
ted into grand impracticability that con-
templates extravagant demands on the
pockets Of the DEVILS stewards. say the
devils stewards, for the sake ofdue discrimi.
nation; for Gods stewards are, or ought to
be, well acquainted with Gods signature;
and it is too serious a crime to he idly i'm
pnted to any of them, that they would take
advantage If such tricks to dishonor His
drafts.

that pensioned hirelings had in the cause
of special privileges, in the centre Of
which the United States bank stood
predominant. In this struggle, central
ism and democracy met each other beard
to beard history gives the result -
After this controversy, there sprung up in
the minds of certain disaffectcd politicians
such an idea as opposition to the sub-treas-
ury scheme. Despite all opposition, the
cardinal doctrines of the democratic party
have been sustained.
! The election is over-a President has
been elected Whether for veal or woe,
the United States will soon experience.
Since 1928, the question of special priv,
ileges has been obsolete. A new turn has
been taken in the management Of affairs
and it remains for US, in this far-of west
to dictate terms of agreement with either
q Northern or Southern Confederacy
Should it so occur that on Tuesday last
Fremont has been elected as our President
for four years, we would certainly trembe
at the organization of our government
through such dynasty. The opinion
would be hopeless, that any Of the south
ern States would be represented in The
cabinet or elsewhere. Whatever might be
his ability, no man entertaining southern
views would seek for alliance with either Il
Fillmore or Fremont administration.
We would not be asking too much, to
ask the east, for once at least, too look to
the west. Insolence may be borne, from
time to time, until forbearance ceases t.
be virtue. Unredressed grievances may
exist until it becomes tiresome aud painful
to recount them In the course Of human
events, such thing might occur as that
the north and south, getting each other by
the hair, should determine to kick the west
ont. In such an emergency, where can
the west go? In this region oEeountry
we can have nothing whatever TO do with
the miserable question of abolitioniSm,
which in the States rises paramount to oil
other subjects.
With the telescope in his hand Pres
dent might discern, looking towards this
western slope, q ne,O New England. The
broad Pacific before US, crowded with a
thousand islands, giving assurance Of all
the elements Of greatness which any mighty
nation might desire. If the north is deter
mined to kick the south out Of the Union
in consequence of domestic question,
what would then become of the Pacific
slope Can We go to the north Can
we affiliate with the South ? Will either
of them support US +?

BG- The history of the wild woman,
who caused so much excitement in Cincin-
natl recently, has at length been found out
J. w. Northcott, the person who had
charge of her, has for many years been q
resident Of Shreveport, La, and his real
name is Joe Williams, while the wild
woman is Ann Eliza Paul, well known in
that town as the mistress of Williams.
The whole affair was a scheme got up by
Williams for speculation. Having Ovailed
himself of the description Of the capture Of
Il wild woman some years ago, which was
written for the purpose of playing of q
hoax, he adapted it to Ann Eliza, and

ABOUT THE TERRITORIAL ADMs.--On the
first page of to-day's paper the reader will
find communication from r. NJ. WALKER
Esq, on the subject of the arms of the
Territory, and in reply to an allusion mad,
by us in that connection, in this paper o.
the Gath alt.
The article to which the writer takes
exception was certainly indicted in the
most innocent spirit in the world-wi,lout
an intention, unjustly, to cast censure OF
obliquy upon any person. Sophistry, how
ever, will not avail at this time. Assaults
of character foreign to the question will
not lead US into controversy with any
person who seeks personal controversy.
For the purpose of closing controversy
in its infantile situation-as all the explu.
nation necessary for our former remarks
and which called forth the communication
of Mr.. W., we will state, that we were in.
formed by gentleman that should be fu.
miliar with the facts that thai portion oi
the Territorial arms which had been in the
hands Of the volunteers during the cam.
paign were rusty, dirty, and unfit for ser.
vice in their present condition. 1t was then
our impression that the public arms were
kept in the building formerly occupied as q
repository for the goods Of the Indian de.
partment With this impression, we would
inquire whether we have not right, and
whether it is not our duty to institute the
inquiry whether that building is safe, iu
view of confagration, &C., as depot fol
the arms, ammunition, &C., of the Territory
No one can deny but that it was subse
quent to the notice which we made about
the arms that the cleaning up of then
was commenced.

ApvERrIsING.-Fro an article in the
Boston Herald, we clip the following sensi.
BILE remarks upon the advantage of adver'
tisng:
Notoriety or publicity is an indspensa.

mechanic, or manufacturer, who would give
a speedy and wide distribution to the com
moditics which he seeks to exchange for
money. lie may have capital, skill, con
yenient position, punctuality, industry and
honesty-cvcry possible fitness for his bust
neSS-and all is nothing if he have not Sut-
iccnt notoriety. This notoriety, let it cost
more or less, he must purchase or provide
Tor as carefully as he purchases or manu-
raclurcs his stock Of goods And it must
IN extent bear certain relation TO the
business he would do. 1t must he both
positive aud comparative. People must
not only know him and his business, be-
cause otherwise they will not fnd him, but
they must know him. because otherwise
they will find and trade with those who are
better known.
Customers, like sheep, are gregarious,
and flock where they see others 60 lfno-
body else were engaged in the same bust
ness, it would he important for our dealers
to advertise in the newspapers, because
people are tempted to buy what they read
Of 1t is like having salesman with sew

your wares 10 tens Of thousands of people,
perhaps ut the same moment. never Offend
ing, never obtruSiye, never tired. Such II
salesman might he worth one, two, three
or five thousand dollars year TO you
according to the number of his voices
might he not?
=" But if others are engaged in tile same
business, even il they do not advertise, it
becomes the more important for our dealers
to do so and if they do advertise, it be-
comes doubly important. 1t becomes, in
fact, ruin not to he known as extensively

width is equally astonishing. From side to
side of her hull she measures SO feet, and
across the paddle-boxes her breadth is IA
feet Mr.. Brunel, the eminent constructor,
has decided not to trust to any single pro-
pelling power, but has three-the screws,
the paddles, and the sail. Her paddle
wheels, So feet in diameter, will be propell-
ed by four engines, the cylinders of which
are six feet four inches in diameter and the
stroke fourteen feet. The motive power
Of these will be generated by four boilers,
and, enormous as are these engines, having
nominal power of 1000 horses, and
standing nearly fifty feet high, they will be
far inferior to those devoted to the screws.
These, the largest ever constructed for
marine purposes, will Ge supplied with
steam by six boilers, working 10 force Of
1000 horses, the real strength Of the com
biued engines being equal 10 5000 horses.
The ponderouS shaft Of metal destined TO
move the screw, is $50 feet in length, and
weighs 60 tons.
