TIE NEWSPAPER.

The newspaper, which few years ago was
a luxury is now, at least in America, a neceS-
sity. The vast amount of labor and talent be
slowed upon the leading journals Of the day,
the close attention paid to their numerous de-
partmpnts, when combined with the pXtraordi-
nary facilities enjoved for the rapid communi-
cation of intelligence, now about being rendered
worldwide BY submarine ielpgraphic commit
nication across the Atlantic, effect an end which
realizes one ofthe grandest conceptions of the
human mind.
Among the most mysterious and unfathoma-
bic attributes Of the Deity are those which en-
dow Him with the power of beholding all things,
and Of being everywhere at the same time. II
required centuries OF human advancement be-
fore any invention could be made TO render
these qualities even in the slightest degree imi-
table bv man. Bouadless space spread ont be-
fore him in wearyng pprpl~xitv, separating the
human family and the localities of the earth, bv
barriers surmountable only through protracted
and wearying toll But now, reader, behold
what, through the agency of the newspaper, as
sisted by the magnetic telegraph, has been ac-
complShed The world is summoned up in
Judgment before YOU. Your mornings paper
furnishes yon with concise history of the
transactions, near and remote, of the previous
day. An infinite number Of sharp eyes have
watched every interesting phase OF life, and you
are daily presented with the result of their OBJ
servations. We gave long been accustomed to
the perusal Of telrgraphic dispatches from every
portion ofour widely iextended Confederacy;
but the advancing march OF science is about to
bring the whole civilized earth equally within
o,lr Intellectual uraSD
The newspaper is the daguerreotype of the
world. The 3rping shadows ofits grave and
gav, tragic and comic, wonderful and common
place, scenes and doings are adroitly seized,
permanently fixed, and a brilliant panorama Of
human life presented every morning.
The great purposes served by newspapers
are familiar to all, and need not BE- recIted
here It is impossible 10 estimate their inHu-
cnce upon the human mind and upon human
