rne New.paper nu.iness.

We clip the following very sensible remarks on
the newspaper business, from the Montgomery Id
rertiSeT:
Few persons imagine the constant labor and ex-
nense attendant upon conducting any kind of news
baDers hut especially dailies. Many appear think
Il is as easy to keep one up it is for them TO read
it This. we assure them, is great mistake as is
evidenced by the frequent failure Of newspaper en-
terprises Everybody thinks, before gong into the
newspaper business that he can manage 1t better,
and make more money than others. Experience
soon teaches men better Money has been made.
and can be made out of newspapers as well as any
thing else but it must be made precisely IN the same
way viz by knowledge of the business ard ener-
getc attention to it. Too frequently neither Of these
requisites is fulfilled in new establishments, and
hence many Of the failures we see. Newspapers
the hardest things in the world to build up, and
the hardest to break down. We would rather buy
an Old establishment, at any disadvantage than to
take a new one as a gift.
Il may be proper to remind the public that others
besides editors and propretors have duties to per-
form during financial crisis such as this. Patrons
should pay their bills, far they can do so MUS
uce TO themselves and other creditors. Newspapers
are at heavy cash expenditure, while the charges
are m small amounts which might well be paid first,
instead Of being put off the last as Is too frequent
ly the case.

A Non SeQu1tuF In E6c0BOAIAEs
A Charleston correspondent of the Boston Post
INDUCES in the following comments upon the posi-
ton and feelings of the people of the South:
The vote of Lincoln has nailed the proof to their
minds that the North is Thoroughly A5Olitionized
They do not realize that the real Abolition element
of the Republican party is comparatively small
They do not and can hardly be expected to believe
that onethird at least of the rank and file of the
Black Republicans is not more friendly TO Abo-
ton than you, Mr.. Post, and that when the Seward
policy comes to be attempted in practice his own
followers would back down IN thousands and tens
Of thousands; they read Mr.. Stewards speeches
and forget that they made to catch votes rather
than to indicate policy they do not see that the
masses in Pennsylvania and the Northwest have all
been influenced quite at as much by local politics
and local interests by Republican ideas in throw
! ing their votes for Lincoln. But in their eyes
| Northern man is an Abolitonist unless he can be
proved TO the contrary. just as in Massachusetts,
Southern man is slavery propaganda unless he
can be proved to the contrary. This sentiment has
taken hold of this people in such way that il is at
present ineradicable. And the most reluctant are
compelled to believe that the people of the North
and the people of the South are so radically differ
ent in their ideas that separation is inevitable that
it may as well come now as ever.
We clip the foregoing letter from the Boston Post
of December l. not only to show that the South, in
the assertion of her constitutional rights, has true
friends in the North but also to express ouI aston
lshment at the reasoning of the Posts eofrespon-
/ dent.
He says "they. (the people of South Carolina)
read Mr. SEwARDs speeches, and forget that they are
made to catch uoes rather than to indicate policy dc.
Now we wish it 70 be understood that we of the
South not only 5eleUe; but we kno,o that there are
thousands of wise, just, and true in the free
| States who not only acknowledge the Justice and
eOnsttutonality of all the claims which have ever
been urged by the South; but they have labored. Tin
many instances at the cost Of political place and
power,l in defence of those Claims and they get Ia
Dor IN that behalf
But we submit, if it is not incompressibe, that
the large majority of the Northern people should be
opposed to abolitionism and yet that Mr.. SEWARD
and Mr.. LINCOLN should find that the way to catch
their votes is to make ultra Abolition speeches. and
to adopt ''irrepressible conflict" doctrines.

THE VoTE OF VIRGINIA CAST FOR BELL.-The
Electoral College of Virginia assembled in Richmond
last Wednesday. The six BRECKNRIDGE Electors
who were chosen through techncalities in the law,
declined to serve, and the majority proceeded to fill
the vacancies with BELL and EVERETT men. The
vote of the College was, therefore, cast unanimously
for BELL and EVERETT
