NEW AMERICAN ENCYCLOPEDIA.

We have received from Mr.. w. Dean Cole.
man, agent for the States Of Indiana and
kentucky for the publications Of Appleton &
Co., of Now York. prospectus ofthe forth
coming new Cyclopedia, in course Of publ
cation by that enterprising firm, under the
editorial supervision of Charles A. Dana and
George Ripley. The work is published by
subscription, in fifteen large octave volumes,
each containing seven hundred and 6fty
double column pages, and is issued ut a price
80 low as to place it within the reach Of all.
dia IS strictly original-not rchash Of sim
liar publications. The articles have been
furnished by men who have won distinction
in their respective departments. and embrace
every branch of scholastic cruditior. The
natural and abstract sciences and the indus
trial arts will be fully elucidated. CRYING to
the work such o practical character az to
make it indispensable to persons Of every call
ing in life-to the nsechanic and working
man, as VOL as to the scholarand tho pro-
fessor. In history it will give not mere
| skeleton outline, but copious narrative Of
the principal events in the annals Of the
world. AL the important discoveries, and
the results Of Investigation, in Natural His
tory. in all its various branches, will be Civ
en- under their appropriate heads. The bio
graphical department will embrace not only
the lives Of men eninont in the past, but
also sketches Of distinguished characters of
the present day. Agriculture also will re-
ceive the attention its Importance demands.
Distinguished members of the various reli-
gious denominations have been engaged to
contribute articles on the history of their
respective sects; and on the subject of Reli-
gion, and the controverted theological quss-
tons of the day, the utmost impartiality will
DO maintained. Eminent members Of the
medical and legal professions have been en-
gagged to furnish contributions to the depart
ments of Medicine and Law. In short, no
branch OF human knowledge will be neglect
cd. We predict for the New Am9rican Cy-
,clcpedia an extensive ejaculation, and q
place in the libraries O. thousands who Lave
hitherto been prccluded from possessing
works Of similar character from inability
to pay the very high prices for which they
sell. The moderate price Of the present pub
LEGATION will enable all to add it to their Ii
braries. Mr.. Coleman is also agent for the
sale Of Benton's Abridgement Of the de-
bates in Congress Cyclopedia ofwit and
Humor, by Burton-Ures dictionary of Arts
Manufactures and Mines; and all other stand

THE DELINQUENT Llsrs

The Enquirer admits chat it received
$Se5 for printing the delinquent list last
year, and that the German paper got
$685. for the same job this year; and
justifies these outrageous flchings uoon
the publ &c treasury, by saying that the
charges Of the JOURNAL for advertising
against the county are at . higher rate
than the prices paid for the printing OIL
the delinquent lists. Our charges fol
advertising for the county are the same
as We charge individuals for the same ser.
vice. But we will print the same mat.

weeks. And in this consists the iniqui!
tous imposition upon the public; the dc;
linquent lists are published in 8 handbill
form, and charged for at the highest rate
of advertising in newspaper, though
they have no more connection with the
newspaper advertising than any other
handful posted at the corners OF the
street. The iniquity is made still more
monstrous by the fact that the printing
is not done by those who fitch the pick
ings. 1t is given out by the auditors
to personal or political favorites, who 60

the work on the largest li-t, is done for

ed 500 or S90O-the difference being
pocketed by the favorite, for attending to
the business which the Auditor could
and ought to attend to himself. In ma
nv instances these extortions from the
delinquent tax payers are shared be-
tween the auditors and ostensible prin-
ters but in our county, by confession
of the Enquirer. it appears Mr.. Hall
has pocketed the entire sum. and made
a profit out of the county Of $50 on an
expenditure of Sl2O.. These impositions
have been connived at by the auditor.
and when these gentlemen present them
selves again for the suffrages Of the Dem.
ocracy. let the people apply the old and
true Democratic test, have they been
honest and faithful in the discharge oI
their former trusts to the people? Let
the delinquent tax payers, and all other
voters recollect that the Enquirer con.
iesses that Mr.. Hall received 1855 fol
printing a job that cost him not ovel

: could have had printed for the latter sum
1t is always thankless duty to ex
pose public abuses, especially amonl
members of our own craft; but in thu
instance the evil is SO crying one as Il
make the duty, however ungrateful. al
imperative one. No present persona

timated by the Enquirer. for We con
demned these practices lore than yea
ago, among the first articles we wrot'
for the JOURNAL. BY the neglect Of a
