EV We have another contribution from
the author of without and WiLhin,"
which will appear next week. A mote en-
closed reads as follows: ~
"MR. TnoMsoN,-The article entitled
Without and Within sent you was original.
and the first of my productions ever sent
to the press, except como sercps of poetry.
did not know IL would be printed; so l
withheld my name. and should prefer to,
should l send any thing in Iuture--at
least until have written more"
a word just here, for the benefit of all
who write for the press. For very many
obvious reasons, it has become a general
rule among editors, to reject every com
munication not accompanied with the name
of the author-no matter upon what sub
jecl it is written, or what are it's merits.
We have many times seen editors open
communications, and finding no name en-
closed, throw them in the fire without
reading line. We have done SO ourself.
1t is right to do so. We have departed
from this rule but three times, and,
in those instances, it was rather the result
of accident than design for we did noi tn
tend to read them, but having nothing else
to do at the moment, we did read them;
and finding they had merits, were COR
rectly written, and contained no personali-
ties, we published them. But for every
one we have thus read and published, we
have thrown fifty aside, without even ex.
amining the title, because the author was
afraid to trust us with his name.
Another rule among printers and editors
is, never to tell the name Of an author
without his or her consent and we have
known editors who have been confined in
Jail, rather than violate this rule. 1t is
considered impertinent to ask an editor
the name of an anonymous contributor.
If those who write for the press, there
fore, wish to secure the attention of th'
editor, they will enclose note in thei
contribution, giving their name, and telling
the editor whether they prefer to keep i
secret or not.
Our reason for making these remarks il
that we have heard of complaints made
against us for neglecting correspondents
and we wish them to know at least one o
the reasons. We desire to encourage lit
erary efforts on the part of our neighbors
Nothing but such desire could have in
duced us to break over a general rule o
the craft in any one instance.

of Fred. F. Rempel, in another column.
In private letter, Mr.. Rempel informs us
that he has applied TO the Department at

coach service between Pomeroy & Athens.
Some such change is much needed. Az

any body of travelling. No one will ride
in them who can get any other convey
ance From Athens to Columbus it is
very much BETTER and we doubt not has
been greatly improved under Mr.. .Rempel's 5
management. We have travelled from
Pomeroy to Columbus by four different
routes, several times. BY any route, 1t is
easy enough, except in getting from Pom
eroy to Athens. BY river to Cincinnati,
thence by railroad to Columbus, the dis
lance is about $50 miles, and the cost
about S8--time about day and half or
