An Editor on Editing.

Artemus Ward, alias G. F. Brown,
gives the following advice to young
men who aspire to become editors of
newspapers
"Before you go for an editor, young
man pause and take big think Do
not rush into the editorial harness too
rashly. Look around and see if there
is not an omnibus to drive-some soil
to be tilled-a clerkship or some meat
cart to be filIed-anything that is re-
spectacle and healthy, rather than GO
ing for an editor, which is bad busi-
ness at best. o.. .--,s--
We are not horse and have con-
sequently not been called upon to fur
nish the motive power for threshing
machine but we fancy that the life of
the editor who is forced to write, write,
write, whether he feels right or not, is
much like the steed in question. If
the yeas and neighs could be obtained,
we believe the intelligent horse would
decide that the thrcshing machine is
preferable to the sanctum editorial.
The editors work is never done. He
is drained necessarily, and no wonder
that he dries up prematurely. Other
people can attend banquets, weddings,
&C., visit halls of dazzling light, get
inebriated, break windows, lick man
occasionally, and enjoy themselves in a
variety of ways-but the editor cannot.
He must tenaciously stick to the mill.
The press, like sick baby, must not
be left alone for minute. If the press
is left to run itself, even for day, some
absurd person orders the carrier-boy
to stop bringing that "infernal paper.
There's nothing in it. / won't have it
in my house." r~et
The elegant Mantalina, reduced to
mangle turning, described his life as a
"dem'd horrible grind" The life of an
editor is all that. %
But there is good time coming, We
feel confident for the editor-a time
when he will be appreciated; when he
will have a front seat; when he will
have a pie every day, and wear store
clothes continually; when the harsh
cry of Stop my paper" will no more
be continually grating upon his ears.
Courage, Messrs. Editors.
Still, sanguine as we are of the COM
ing of this good time, we advise the
aspirant after editorial honors to pause
ere he takes up the quill as the means
of obtaining his bread and butter. Do
not, at least, do so until you have been
Tilted several dozen times by a like
number of girls-until you have been
knocked down stairs and soused in a
horse-pond-until the gushing feelings
within you have been thoroughly sub,
dued-until, in short, your hide is OF
rhinoceros thickness. Then, u, aspl-
rations for the bubble reputation at the
press mouth, throw yourself among the
Iinkpots, dust and cobwebs of the print
ing Office if you will.

ST. LOUIS, Saturday, Aug. 81, 1851.
The following proclamation was is
led this morning:

SUED THIS morning:
"HEADoUARrEns OF THE WESTERN DEp'r,
''Sr. LOUIS, Aug. 81, 1861.
circumstances, in my judgment of
sufficient urgency, render it necessary
that the Commanding General of this
Department should assume the admin
istrative powers of the State. Its dis
organized condition, the helplessness of
the civil authority, the total insecurity
of life, and the devastation of property
by bands of murderers and marauders
who infest nearly every county in the
State and avail themselves of the pub
lie misfortunes and the vicinity of a
hostile force to crafty private and
neighborhood vengeance, and who find
an enemy wherever they find plunder,
finally demand the severest measures
to repress the daily increasing crimes
and outrages which are driving off the
inhabitants and running the State. In
this condition the public safety and the
success of our arms require unity OF
purpose, without let or hindrance, to
the prompt administration of affairs.
''ln order, therefore, to suppress dis.
orders, to maintain as far as now prac-
ticable the public peace, and to give
security and protection to the persons
and property of loyal citizens, l do
hereby extend, and declare established
martial law throughout the State OF
Missouri, The lines of the army oil
occupation in this State are for the
present declared to extend from Leav.
enworth by way of the posts of Jeffer.
son City, Rolla and Ironton, to Cape
Girardeau on the Mississippi River.
"All persons who shall be taken with
arms in their hands within these lines
shall be tried by court-martial, and, i
found guilty, will be shot. The prop
erty. real AND personal, of all person.

To the Fallen.
BIZ RALPH RANDOM,


Oh! mourn for the vanquished,
Oh mourn for the slain, NON y
Whose blood in deep torrents 4i
Now reddens the plain E
See the legions of darkness r
Are trampling them down,
On the fields that have echoed r
Their fathers renown.
Oh! mourn for the vanquished,
OH mourn for the brave,
Who for God and for freedom
Have gone to the grave ie.
See !! they sink all despairing
On the far distant plain, Tse
Where now they are bleeding,
And bleeding in vain. rr.r-
Oh! mourn now, my country,
Thou chosen of earth 4Jf
For the torch of demon, raa g
Is red on thy hearth ra
And the wall of bereavement,
The shrek of despair,
From thy heart-broken daughters,
Is filling the air
One prayer for the dying,
One tear for the dead .l
Then strike, o my brothers!
For the heroes that bled:
Arise in your fury,
Arise in your might,
And down with the foeman
OF God and the Right e.
