In presenting our readers to-day with our First
Annual Statement of the Trade and Commerce Of
Baltimore it affords us no little satisfaction to add
what Is not mentioned among the Statistics
which wepublish on another page-that the News
paper-busneSs in this city, has thriven within the
past year to an extent wholly unprecedented-as
may be inferred from the following paragraphs
clipped from the Editorial columns of two of our
morning contemporaries
THE CARRIERS OF THE SUBTLE Declaration of hide
fendence-The Carriers of The Sun favored us with
an advance copy of their New Years Presentation to
their subscribers. 1t is fine steel engraving executed
IN very effective STYLE comprising in the centre copy
of the Declaration Independence with fac s;ne of he
signature of the patriots by whom immortal
given to the world This is surmouned by view of
the Hall of Independence and the Of delegates
by whom the instrument adopted The fidelity of
this picture to the painting of which it is copy and the
accuracy with which the portraits brought out will
strike every observer who has retained
the original In addition to this margin is occupied
by medallion portraits of all the Presidents of the United
States from Washington to Buchanan the faithful re-
semblances will be acknowledged by all. The whole
engraving presents at glance the foundation of our ma
tonal existence the Great Charter OF independence
the heroes by whom it established and the Executive
officers under whose successive administrations has been
maintained and illustrated before the world"
" In this enterprise we recognise commendabIe aud
progressive spirit on the part of the carriers of The Sun
The project is NECESSARILY costly one and the more
credtable as the expense has been bestowed upon sub
lec which addresses itself to the patriotism all classes
OF the people The carriers have ountered the cost
with view OF distributing the important document in
scrbed upon the picture throughout the community in
such form as will conduce to its preservation relying
upon the favor they have usually experienced at the
hands of their subscribers for the remuneration of their
enterprise. The plate is well worthy and
if promptly placed in the hands of picture Trainer be-
fore it is soiled been roughly handled it will cons
tute becoming and consistent ornament of American
household.
We observe by this mornings Sun that Mr-a
young man in the business advertises glaze
the plate neatly at the moderate price 46 cents each

"We have been requested by Postmaster Morris to In

In view of these fourishing announcements of
our neighbors it gives us pleasure to state that
own Carriers unwilling to be out-done by those of
any other paper-have resolved to present to every
subscriber on their respective routes-not an en-
craving, but book and that work of the high
est value-being nothing less than a complete
volume of THE DAILY EXCHANGE for the year
lS59-to be delivered in numbers-one every
morning Sundays excepted at the ridiculously
low price OF two cents per copy. Such volume
we need scarcely say-will be eminently worthy
Oh preservation, and if promptly placed in the
hahus OF the binder before the numbers have been
Ihsialu or stolen-will constitute valuable addi-

becoming ornament to every centre-table. We

fortunate possessor of volume will fail to do0;ro

commendable proceeding on the part of our Car.

among the Book-binders, as our neiobbor ybs
Sun, seems to anticipate among the Picture
