NEW YORK. Jan. IL, 1861.
! Mr.. Editor Your most welcome pioneer
| daily, comes regularly to hand, and am glad tx
learn that your list of subscribers is largely the
| increase.
There is nothing very new here, just now, anc
the public almost dying for some excitement
A batch of seven counterfeiters were arrested
| last night and taken to the ''Tombs Hotel"
| The " North Star" arrived at her Dock las
evening with passengers, mails, &C., from Cali
fornia She brings no news of interest.
The Cotton sales closed on the 18th at 115 fol
| Uplands. Southern Corn sold at S2a S9c.
| Yesterday news reached here of an awful catas
trophe, which occurred at Lawrence Massachu
setts, the fall and burning of Factory, there 'the
Pemberton Mills by which there was some two
hundred lives lost besides hundreds wound
girls, and other white slaves, who had toiled day
| after day to enrich their masters 1.-The Factory
Lords,'' of Massachusetts. The scenes of the suf
fering and despair of the victims, it's said, was
most horrible. Columns of the Boston papers
are filled with the terrible story.
] see it is said that the South debt OF
gsatitude to the Express, Day Book, journal OF
Commerce and Herald for their defence of the
South" Let say to you that far the
New York Herald is concerned l think the writer
of the above is clearly wrong, which opinion can
be easily sustained, for It's evident that with all
its pretensions the Herald seems eager to give
publicity to all and every line Of incendiarv ia
natcism that it can get hold of, and thereby does
full much HARM if not more, than the abomina-
BILE Tribune " itself. This is done, however,
under the cloak of simply giving 1.-The news.
The Herald is truly a newspaper. But SO
far as its honesty Of principles are concerned,
where is its consistency? See its fulsome praise
of Gen. Scott, within the last month or two, and
contrast it with the daily TRADES of abuse heaped
upon g the brave Old General; eight years ago.
He was then according to the Herald odd
Fuss and Feathers and any everything mean
that the inventive genius of Biingsgate Slang''
could originate to convey the low estimate the
Herald then held him in. Yet now forsooth there
is no equal to General Scott for the Presidency.
But in politics. as other things the ''Herald's -
chameleon hues > are proverbial.
With regard to its Black Republican proclivi
ties witness its gaily echo of the g Tribune's ''
incendary lies. What can be more incendiary,
ask, than the Herald of to-day, January 18th? +?
and III fact see any number issued within the last
three months, and judge for yourselves, people of
the South. repeat that the Herald does more
harm both North and South than even the So Tri-
bune " itself; it reaches every nook and corner
South, with the " "Tribune's'' articles, when the
" Tribune" dares not be seen. Is this not
so and whose fault is it2 Let the South
swer.
Besides it is read by tens of thousands North,
East and West, many of whom, would no doubt
be conservative in principle, it not for the
teachings of Janus faced - sheet.
The weather for few days past has been quite
mild and tbs streets have been one sea of mud.
But early this morning snow storm commenced.
now the streets clad in white and the icy
breath of winter howls around while here and
in their rags, while they are iosted by the Z" fur

smiled upon-such IS life
