PARTISAN SERvuEs.--The Morning can re-
marks
The position of deputy hod carrier, at TWEEN
ty-five cents day, is far preferable and infinite
/ ly more honorable than that Of editor of q mod
ern partisan sheet
| We reckon the Calls legs would weaken about
the third pilgrimage up the ladder. Besides, if
the above be understood as applying to the news
papers protesting politics. it is very offensive and
unjust. Though included in that class of news
papers our estimation of the so denominatcd in
dependent press is not immeasurably exalted
We have seen independent presses made the in
strumcnts OF bad principle, defamation and NAL
ice, and when we hear sudden outcry about the
indcstructible virtue of the independent press ,
and the inevitable serviliy of political newspa.
pers we always stop to think. What but services
have been those independent presses that sent
thousands to sweat and starve on the barren
rocks of Frazer river? Without even protesting
the advocacy of any creed or abstract principle
without the privilege Of a fattening place at the
leak Of the Custom House, they have been seduc-
ed from trnth by prospect of multiplying the
might've shillings that Tighten in beggar's
dreams.

FOUNDING HOsPrrAGs.--S and despair are
fearful prompters to weak woman, who hears,
in her anguish, the fiery hiss of the world scorn,
and beholds its mocking finger pointing her out
as n lost one. And many a tender and gentle
woman, whose soft white hand never before innic-
ted injury on living thing, has, in a moment of
mental agony and moral bewilderment clutched,
with grasp Of frenzy, the neck Of her infant,
and crashed out its little life in the hope Of hiding
one crime by the commission of o greater.--.Ma-

VALUE OF STRONG WAIIs,--Iu Dcccmbcr-we

thing drap' on the top of his head, and few sec
onds more discovered monsrous bear standing
over and making preparations to devour him
The blow from the animals paw had sent the man
under the vines, so that he was in some degree
protected from instant death, and in that condi-
ton, while the bear was tearing at him through
the vines, the negro drew his knife and stabbed
the monster through the heart. The first blow
was mortal, but the negro kept plying his knife,
until when he crawltd from under his dead enc
my and appeared at the edge Of the thickct he
was covered from head to foot with blood. The
bear weighed nearly thousand pounds, which
the victor sold for dollar pound, and while

JOE. MCKIBBEN-A number of little people,
who profess near relationship to the Administra-
tion, but who, we reckon, are not on Mr. Buchan-
ans visiting list, arc very abusive of McKibbon
because of his anti Lecompton principles. They
undertake to rdcule his assertion that the mud
sils of California took him hom coyote hole
and made him q Congressman Though not lit
orally correct, the assertion was substantially
true. We knew McKibben as a working miner,
from which occupation he passed, with only a
short interval of law practice, to the State Senate,
and thence, by an almost uninterrupted official
graduation to his present place. He has always
been noted for his manlincss and Independence
of character which has been strkingly manifested
in his opposition to whath he supposed was national
wrong doing, In the depths of great soul he
will dcspsc the small atoms in community which
are so agtatcd by his presence. We have never
considered Joe. so great statesman as Richecu's
Lysander, but we do consider him an honorable
man and politician, and one whose intelligence
creditahly represents us-an individual citizen
whose principles are not corrupted by monopolce
and whose face, unlike that of one of our Scna
tors, does not bear the marks of grovcing ava
rice. McKibben has always been an unwaverng
consistent Democrat and the unmcritcd abuse
now piled upon him by Administration writer's of
shaky antecedcnts' will give him greater promi
nenco, and in a corresponding degree will sink
the vitnperatng atsailants to more hopeless
depth Of servile degradation. No man of liberal
mind, or stability of principle, would thus de-
nounce public officer for single eccentrici;y
from Administrative measure.

greatest orator we ever heard used to begin with

auditor would observe the increasing food of So

smote down the citadel OF the soul. Then unex-

forgot the orator. The last sentence was remem
