THE MYSTERIES OF A NEWSPAPER.
Henry Ward Beecher writes of 'the Office
Editors" as follows:
The world at large do not understand the
mysteries of newspaper; and az IN watch
the hands that are seen are but the passive
instruments of the spring, which is never
seen, so, in q newspaper, the most worthy
causes of its prosperity. are often least oh
served or known. Who suspects the hene-
fit which paper derives from the enterprise
the vigilance and the watchtul fidelity OF the
publisher? Who pauses to think how much
of the pleasure of reading is derived from
the skill and care of the printer: We feel
the blemishes of printing if they exist but
seldom observe the excellencies. In like
manner, how few of all our readers dream
that the Independent owes a great deal OF
its excellence to the springs that lie coiled
IN in the Office, named Ofhce-Edltors. IN

L. w. BABBIrT.-There are some
men IN the community who seem to
make it their peculiar mission to cir
culate the report that L. w. Rabbit,
the Democratic candidate for Lieut..
Governor, is q Mormon. For what
purpose such an unfouuded story may
be circulated we are unable to know.
The man who first set the thing afoat.
whether wilfully or from insufficient
information, must be very anxious to
enslave himself to his party. There
seem to he some Americans who
swore indefinite hostility to foreigners,
that swallow Rusch and call Rabbit q
Mormon. In such men cannot long
er remain spark of political honesty
We state tor the benefit of all that
Col. Babbitt "never was, and is not
now, Mormon" Though he resides
in community where there are many
Mormons. he has no affinity for their
rdligiou, but on the contrary has the
Mormons more for his er emies than
his friends. We hesitated some be-
fore We made this statement, suppos-
ing euch an unfounded rumor would
die of its own falsity, but some have
been induced, from very questionable
motives we imagine, to propagate it,
and this week We give it q public de-
NAL of it, truth. A cause must be at
its lowest ebb when it has to be de-
fenden by such resorts.-Democratic

Beauties OF W aP.

An army correspondent, writing from
the battlefield of Montebello, says:
"Our officers kept US back; We were
not numerous enough to charge npon
the enemy. This was, moreover, most
prudent, for this murderous fire, 90 ia
tai to the white coats, did US but little
harm. Our conical balls penetrated
their dense masses, while those of the
Austrians whistled past our ears and
respected our persons. 1t was the first
time | had faced fire. nor was the
only one. Well, l am satisfied. True,
l lodged the first balls, but Henry Nv ;,
they say, did the same at the begin
ming Of every battle. 1t 10, in fact, a
physical effort independent of the will.
But this tribute paid, if you could only
feel how each shot electrifies you. It
is like a whip on = racers legs. The
balls whistle past you,turn up the earth
around you, kill one, wound another,
and you hardly notice them. You

DANIEL WEBSTER.
To J. B. NoNrs, Esq, New York.
The letter from Mr.. Everett was ad-
dressed to our minister at Berlin, un
der date of l4th January, 1853, in
reference to several cases which had
been presented by that minister. "The
question raised," Mr.. Everett writes,
has received the particular attention
of the President" The following cx-
tracts sufficiently state the doctrine ::
II, then, q Prussian subject, born
and living under this state Of law,
chooses to emigrate to a foreign coun-
try without obtaining tn Certificate
which alone can discharge him from
the obligation Of military services,
he takes that step at his own risk
lie elects to 60 abroad under the bur-
den of q duty which be owes to his
government. Hrs departure is Of the
nature Of an escape from her laws; and
II, at any subsequent period, he is in
discreet enough to return to his native
c. untry, he cannot complain If those
laws arc executed to his disadvantage.
His case resembles that of a soldier or
sailor enlisting by consumption or 9TH
or compulsory process in the army or
navy. Ifhc should desert the service
of his country, and thereby render
himself amenable to military law, no
one would expect that he could return
to his native land and bid defiance to
its laws because in the mean time he
might have become a naturalized citi-
zen OF a foreign State.
For these reasons, and without en-
tering into the discussion Of the ques-
ton Of perpetual allegiance, the Presi-
dent is Of opinion that, if subject Of
Prussia, lying under a legal obligation
in that country to perform certain
amount Of military duty, leave his
native land, and without performing
that duty or obtaining the prescribed
certificate Of immigration" comes
to the United States and is naturalizcd
and afterwards, for any purpose what
ever, goes back to Prussia, it rs not
competent for the United States to
protect him from the operation of
the Prusslan Law. The case may be
one Of great hardship, especially if the
omission to procure the certificate
arose from inadvcrtance or ignorance !;
but this fact, though just ground for
sympathy, does not alter the case as
one Of International law"
