o.,,rtosr and decorum 1t has for more than nifty
roers heen one of the leading papers of the coun-
try has enioved most extended circulation, and
at times welded large influence. Its circulation
has been rapidly diminishing for some time past,
and latterly its influence has almost, if not alto
gether, ceased to be felt. Commenced,
as it was, in the infancy of the Republic,
it will probably cease to exist with the dissolution
of the Union upon which that Republic was
founded.
The hateltigencer is, however, not the only Jour-
nal which has felt most seriously the disastrous eff
fects Of our domestic troubles. From our ex-
changes we gather the names of over sixty papers
that have already been compelled to sus-
pend, considerable number of which
were published in the Northern States.-
Even the leading journals of New York,
whose circulation is far more widely extended than
that of the papers of any other city, have been
obliged to reduce every possible expense, and il
some instances the size of the papers has been Gu
down in order to lessen the cost of publishing
This plan has already been resored to by several
the daily papers Of this city. The Patriot and thu
! Republican have both reduced the size of ,hei
sheets considerably; and following their exam
pie, the american, as a matter of prudent necessi
ty, has also Topped one column from each of ii
pages, and has modestly RETAINED from direct
ing public attention to the fact The Phils
| delphia North AmericQn has res0rted to the sam
ezpedient Some New York papers have stoppe,
their afternoon editions All have reduced sala
ries and force
To those not acquainted with the cost of pub
fishing daily paper, it may not be uninterestn
to learn few facts as TO the real charges attend
ant upon such an undertaking. For paper a
large as the Exchange, the cost of paper, typ
setting, printing and distributing is so heavy
that, in the absence of advertisements, daily sal
| OF less than Is, 900 copies would not pay fo
these items alone. Add to this the numerou
salaries of assistant editors, reporters correspond
ents and clerks and the cost of kilograms, hous
rent and other extras, and some small idea ma
be gained OF the immense outlay which ha
to be. provided for by the receipts of h
advertising columns. For paper of II
size of the New York Herald, where til
cost of material is grea err and the expense
of correspondence and kilograms are muc
larger, the aggregate expenses are so enormous
that one paper to have the combined circulf
ton of all the Others issued daily in that city
which may be estimated at $50, O00 it would NJ
more than pay the actual current expenses, if i
receipts were derived solely from the sale of Ii
paper.

Departed this life on the 9Th orNovember, 1860,
after an illness of about Thirty years, Uncle Sam.
The deceased born in the United States OF
America on the 4th of July, l776, and was cnnse-
ouently little upwards of 81 years of age at his
death. In his earlier days he was greatly dstin-
gushed for his many noble virtues, his enterprise,
integrity and other high and lofty traits of charac-
ter. His career marked with signal success,
and he soon established for himself a world ide
reputation, and we know of none who was ever
more honored. admired and respected by his CO
tempOraries. But the fairest flower of earth is doom
ed to fade. About the ifty-fnurth year of his age
he seized with insidious disease, which
finally terminated in his premature death; the
remedy of this fatal maadY since its first ap.
pearance had been the study Of Doctors of Political
Economy; but their every endeavor failed and they
had the sorrow of seeing their distinguished pa
tient perish in the midst of their praiseworty re-
searches The demise of one widely beloved and
esteemed will bring pang home to many heart
and blight the hopes and prospects of thousa nd.
who would otherwise have set out in life sanguine
of success. He has gone to his long home; may he
rest in peace.

TIE FIRST NAPoLEoNS OPINION OF THE TINE RE-
ouIRED TO TEAM A SoLDER.-If the opinion of Ma
poleon, quoted by the historian Alison, be cor
rect, it is evident that the Federal Government will
not be able 20 bring any trained soldiers into the
field with the exception of the small force Of regu-
lars, that have seen considerable service. The
same difficulty undoubtedly applies to the Confed-
crate forces, but it is generally conceded that the
Southern army is composed ofthe best fighting ma
trial. and that it Is, for the most, better COM
mandtd by officers of superior ability. We quote
the extract from Alison:
In discussion respecting the naval CONSUMPTION.
Truget observeG: "Much longer time is required
to form sailor than soldier. The latter may be
trained in all his duties in six months" Napoleon
replied:
"There never so great mistake. Nothing
can be more dangerous than to propagate such
opinions if acted upon, they would speedily lead to
the dissolution of the army. At Jemappe there
were $4,000 French against 0 600 Austrians Dur
Ing the first four years OF the war, all the hostile
operations Conducted in the mos. ridiculous
manner. 1t was neither the volunteers nor the re-
cruits who saved the Republic, it was the $50 900
old troops of the Monarchy and the discharged
veterans whom the revolution impelled to the from
tiers. Part of the recruits deserted part died; a
small proportion only remained, who, in process OF
time, formed god soldiers. Why have the Romans
done such great things? Because six years instruc-
tlon were, with them, required to make soldier.
legion composed Of three thousand such men was
worth thirty thousand ordinary troops. With fiji

everywhere beat forty thousand. You will not

Amusing Lave Aa.lr.

The London correspondent Of the New Or

:, A. GOOD sell is related OF a wealthy banker
here. Who Is very good natured. but is inclined
10 be a trifle fast in his views Of life. He had
a fayorite clerk, young man about twenty ty-one,
remarkably handsome, modest and higely intel

every one, and the banker did not escape the
general feeling OF good will. o sai "a b9min

The clerk fell upon his knees, and was upon
the point Of making clean breast of 1t, when
the old man rose and left precipately, 70 avoid
q scene. The young man considered and acted,
and the consequence was that the. next day
week there was no daughter at the dinner table
Of the banker at the country house. The house
was In CONSERVATION, and the search made for
her in all directions. A note, however, was
found on her dressing table, conveying the Gus
tomary prayer for forgiveness, and a note, en-
closed from the young clerk, stating that, be-
lieving the banker meantto give him hint with
regard to his daughter, and was not able TO give
his public consent, owing to appearances, he had
acted on his own suggestion, and that ere "his
iather-in law" had received the letter, he (the
clerk) would be bis son-in-law. Jla- 1rri

Jewels and Jewelry worn in New York.

All works Of art are pleasant to the eye of an
educated person, but the laboratories OF the
precious metals and stones which demonstrate
