Moments like to these

"A correspondent writing from Jefferson
City, Mo-, on Saturday, says:
A member Of the Legislature remarked that
never, in the history of any State, had such ty.
rannical, despotic bills, taking away all rights
of the people, passed, as there had been by this
Assembly since the reception of the news from
st. Louis. They would disgrace even South
Carolina. The people Of the State must expect
the worst invasions Of freedom and rights. AT.
ter the arrival Of the papers last evening from
st. Lonis, the excitement somewhat quieted
down.

The Newspaper.

How few, says the Philadelphia "Press, who
read It bestow a thought upon all the labor.
mental and physical, necessary to produce q
newspaper. The public read it, as a matter Of
COURSE without any reflection upon the heads
and hands which have worked together to this
result, but are not slow nor silent in their con-
demnation Of the omission or insertion of even
a comma which changes the meaning of sen.
tence. Cowper spoke Of the newspaper as "the
folio Of four pages" Ii is more-it is true
Microcosm-a living history-at once recording
and commenting upon events. Sick or well,

paper must work at their constantly recurring
occupation. The labor Of Sisyphus was a baga-
telle compared with this. Noallowance made
for headache or heart. ache, or any of the thou.
sand natural ills that flesh is heir to.
There are two sorts of excitement connected
with the production Of q newspaper. The first
anxious, feverish, intense-as much of appre.
hension as of belief, as much of fear as of hope.
The second-calm and CONSTANT mitigated
feeling. The first is experienced when a new
journal is being launched upon the world, and
such on overpoWering sensation it lie, that one
might say;
Moments like to these
Rend dmen's lives ioto immortates."
The other excitement occurs, more or less,
on every day of editorial life. The newspaper
man opens his own paper, each day, with hope
that it is 'all right" and gives great sigh of
relief, after he has rapidly glanced over ita
columns, at finding everything in them exactly
as they should be.

The people Of the North are In grim earn

with unanimity and devotion Of which
history furnishes no parallel. The battal-
IONS that are now moving South think that
they are engaged in no holiday parade.
They mean fight and fight to the bitter

arms and be content to live under the Con.
Fitution established by our fathers: until
such traitors as jeff. Davis and Floyd are

The men who have melted this rebellion
must never return to the councils Of the

EXTREMES INERT 80 DEPEND
XHE AE2UR4IE.

1Ge perfect 5nSl0l OF all paftles and
secs into one great patriotic mass Of the
North, may be set down as the greatest
marvel Of the age. The Puritan and the
Catholic, the 6keptic and the Orthodox,
the Republican and Democrat, the Radical
and the Fogy. have all united and laid aside
their prejudlces and differences, and Joined
in the work Of crushing the treason against
the Republic. One Of the strangest instan-
ces Of s'cxtremes meeting" was witaesseda
few DAYS since in Boston, where two such
representative men IS Wendell Phillips
and Rev. Nehemiah Adams made speeches
to the same aud:eneein Music Hall, and ad-
vocated the same platform, viz; "The
Union, the Constitution, and the enforce
ment Of the laws They both exhorted
the people to save the Government and to
punish treason; to make any sacrifice of
blood and treasure to quell the wicked re-
belhon; to follow blow with blow, until the
head OF the serpent was crushed and the
last spark Of vitality extinguished-
It must be an urgent national necessity
and Il Just and righteous cause which
brings such men together. The lombard
ment Of Fort Sumter was the wand Of en-
chantnaent which fused into one patriotic
mass twenty millions Of people. When
the National Emblem was smitten down,
and made 10 succumb to traitors, cry Of
vengeance resounded across the continent.
