sPIRITOF THE MORNING PRESS.

SfIhIx OF lh6 MOhflLVo = AsASSS'
The I'm on, remarking upon the tone OF the
press Of the country in commenting on the
Message, says:
The Presidents inaugural has dissipated
all question Sc to his future policy, and the
lovers of the Union are fast joining the ranks
of his supporters All minor considerations
are yielding to the great question Of sustain
ing the Union and crushing out its enemies
In the North and South, and East and West,
the principles Ct the Inaugural have met the
most hearty approval. Strong partisan papers
have been compelled to assent to the cogent
considerations which il presents. The number
of querulous Black Republican dissents are
almost too Insignificant to form an exception.
The tone Of the great mass Of the public pres
indicate that all lovers of the Union, in all
quarters, intend to sustain the new Admins
trstion with Sincerity and efficiency. The dis
unionists alone will be its opponents. An Ad-
ministrstion thus sustained cannot fail to
secure the most happy consequences to our
whole country"
The IHtelIigsneer says Of the proceedings Of
the Supreme Court on Saturday:
son Saturday morning last Mr.. Justice
Mclean delivered his opinion in the case of
bred Scott eS. Sanford, involving the consti-
nationality Of tho Missouri Compromise. 1t
was in dissent from the conclusion Of the ma
jority of the Court. Mr.. Justice Curtis then
delivered his opinion in the same case, which
also dissepts from the judgment of the major.
ity Separate opinions, concurring in the
Judgment pronounced on Friday by Justice
fancy, were read by Justices Daniel, Grier,
Campbell, and Wayne. These opinions were
listened to with eager interest and profound
respect By the Court and Bar and o larger
number than usual Of attentive auditors"

A Democratic Newspaper, pu6lishsd at Rich
mond, V.ygtnia.
Before the close Of the present month, the
subscriber will issue the first number Of .
newspaper which he proposes to publish in
Daily and Semi weekly editions, and which 10
intends to devote to the service of the South,
the interests Of the State, and to the support
of the principles of the Democratic party.
But the paper Will not be so exclusively po-
Iitical, that its columns will only interest the
politician; nor SO subservient to party as to
spare the misconduct Of bad men; to betrsy
principle for the sake of power, or to disguise
its convictions at the suggestion Of expedisncy.
i shall endeavor to commend 1t to intelli-
gen: persons Of all classes, by diligence in the
collection of news, by imparting something Of
agricultural, commercial and literary interest
to its columns, and by venturing an Outspoken
and emphatic opinion on the topics Of the day,
no matter what the hazard Of conflict with
prejudice or of offence to the self appointed
leaders of party. The organ of no clique, in
the interest of no faction, and with no partial
purpose to serve, the paper will address itself
TO the honest judgment Of the people, and for
support will rely upon their appreciation Of
energy and enterprise and their love of plain
talk and independent opinion. There may be
particular individuals to whom this sort Of dis
cussion will not be very acceptable, but il 1
can concilate the favor of the masses, may
survive the opposition of ignorant or interested
critics. No doubt servile spirits will be shock.
still 1 have the consolatory assurance that
there are plenty of brave and true men in
Virginia, upon whose sympathy and support
l may rely with absolute security. And so
believing, I embark upon the enterprise, with
no misgiving as to the result.
"The South" will be of an equal size with
the leading papers of the city, and will be
furnished to subscribers at the following rates:
Daily seven dollars year. Semi-Weekly five
dollars payable IN Advance
Money may be sent by mail to the address

A BRAVE BOY.

A prisoner named VAN GoRDER dart
ed past the jailor at Warren, Trumbull
county. the other day, and made for the
woods. A boy of sixteen, named Aus
TIN WrER, the son of the jailer, gave
chase, aud soon came up to the prisoner.
The Chronicle says;
Young Wier struck him with peice
of light board he had picked up while
running, but did not stop him. He then
picked up a stone, and as Van Gorder
was climbing fence, hit him over the
left eye, and brought him to the ground,
He bled profusely, but recovering him
self, again started, having now nearly
reached the woods. When he got to
the last fence, he was again overtaken
by the boy. and having a stick in his
hand, showed fight but wier told him he
would mark his other eye, with stone
he had, if he attempted to cross the
fence. By this time several others came
Up, and he was brought back.

feet of the King, and confessed the trick
which the lurdane monks had fallen up
on to escape their. EN- mbarrassment; and
the King, being highly amused at the
