TIE WAR AND THE NEW YORK NEwspAPERs.- The N. I. correspondents of the Philade phia Ledger says:
 The mutations of journalism in this city, since the commencement of the war. has certainly been of q very marked character. First. The Morning Express stopped; then the good Churchnlan that had been the pet organ Of the high church of Episcopal hans for nearly querter of 8 century, gave up the ghost for want of sup port; then followed the Courier and Enquirer; then the Irish American; then the Daily News; and then the Day E pok. To save itself from sm liar fate the Journal of Commerce curtaied its dimensions, and so did the Daily Tunes. A few weeks ago the Tribune dlac utinuel its Sun day editions, and to-day the daily publication III tkes its appeareDce IL reduced size. Last, but not least, the Sun, that shines for al sold d auctron, to day, for the sun ot S3j,OU0. Thr- sale 1t Is presumed, WAS mere pro yorn,G ai fsr, preliminary tO q re organization ot the es' tabl,hnent, winch ought to be worth five time> that amount. Mr. 4. M MJrris1u Was the pur- chaser.

 Should you, however, disregard my advice, the severe visitation of war shall De meed to re- bels and their allies. shall then be convinced that your arming for protection is sham, and rest assared that traitors, when caught, shall re- ceive a traitors doom.
 The cup of mercy has been exhausted. Trea- son hereafter VII be treated as treason. The massacre of innocent women and children by the black hearted traitors who lately burned the bridges on the St. Joseph railroad, has satisfied us that 8 traitor will perpetrate crimes which devils would shudder to commit.

Clippings and Comments.

Last week We copied an article from the Fort smith Times iu regard to the Granby lead mines in Missouri.
 By reference to our paper of week before last it will be seen that the Bellah mine, in Sever county, has passed into the hands of Mr Starr, man of energy and enterprise who has gone to work. This mine will supply South Arkan. sas, Texas and the Indian country.
 A correspondent from Johnson county tells n' that Col. Steel, of Newton county, brought jJO lbs. of lead to that place and ,oll it at B cents. This smeted out of a og heap, and they have two or three tons of very r.ch ore re.dy for smelling. With proper furnace Col. Steel could supply the coniedrracy. There is no doubt the lead mines of Arkansas are equal in extent and richness to those of Missouri.
