re- The New York Tribune a short

re- The New York Tribune short
time since entered upon the 2lst year of
its existence, with a much larger circu-
lation than any other paper in the coun-
try-numbering nearly $4,000. The
paper is now printed from stereotype
plates, the first ever cast of similar di-
mansions and form. The process OF
taking the cast is given as follows by the
editor
The page to be stereotyped being prepared
it is covered with sheet of a peculiar kind OF
soft paper, in fact but little more tenacious than
paper pulp. This sheet is delieately but firm
" beaten with a hair brush, to indent the type
thoroughly into the paper. While yet wet and
soft other similar sheets are laid upon it and
the indentation repeated This process is con
tinued until the layers of this paper are suffi
cient to make a strong card board upon the
page, thoroughly compacted together and in
denied to proper depth with the type of the
page. Passed over steam table, this indent ed
cardboard is rapidly dried Taken out, it is
easily removed from the type, and is ready fol
the last process, which is the reception OF ho
fluid type-metal, poured into the indentation:
made by every letter, word. sentence and par
agraph of the page.
The gain from this new method is thai
it saves the wear and tear Of type. The
rapid working of SO large quantity o
paper as the New York dailies issue
wears out font of type in three or fou1
months, thus involving great expense
The wear upon the type in taking the
mould for the stereotype plate is very
slight, and the plates will, therefore, fol
years have all the clearness and sharp
ness of new type, making the printing
fresh and legible. The Tribune esteem:
the invention valuable, as it doubtless il
to papers of large circulation.

$1,000 More Troops Called for.

Gy- The government has issued call
for $4,000 hoops, in addition to the 49,
900 first called out. They are divided
as follows Volunteers for three years
service, 10000 (; Regulars for five years
service, $4,000 Seamen for five years
$4,000. This makes total of l58, 200
men, sufficient force, we have no doubt,
to effeclually crush out the rebellion
Ohio alone has offered 10000 troops, and
Pennsylvania puts $4,000 in the field. -
New York also enrolls $4,000, and those
three States would doubtless be glad OF
the opportunity 10 furnish the whole
number demanded by the President. No
requisilion will be made on the several
States for quotas of the 10000 vol
unteers last called for, and all regiments
offering, from whatever quarter, will be
accepted until the full mum Der is enroll

From Great Britain the following news is very
interesting DR. Russels latest letter to the Lon

narrowing between slavery and abolition. He
thinks that the President will soon declare all the
slaves within the limits of the United States army
Free The Times editorally advises compromise
between the North and the South. The ship Thos.
Watson, Captain Allen had cleared from liverpool
for Charleston, South Carolina. There are some
curious circumstances connected with this vessel.
About the time the blockade was first being en-
forced, the Thomas Watson, supposed to contain
contraband articles, was suspicously wrecked on
the coast Of North Carolina. She was afterwards
foated off, and left Wilmington for Liverpoofwith
a cargo of naval stores. She now again sails for
a rebel port. and will doubtless try to run the
blockade. 10
The intelligence from Bermuda, bearing date
August 80, gives the information that an officer

clined by the owners The rebel officer pro-
ceeded to st. Thomas on his way home
1t is also reported that suspicious looking
schooner had been lowering around the Bermuda
Islands for several days, refusing to take pilot.

disposal an army of $4,000 men, with which, on
board the feet, he could operate against any
portion of the Southern coast where an oppor-
tnnity offered. 1t would serve rs a sort of
fankipg force to strike at uncertain points, and
thus keep the enemy continually in state of

his troops to defend the coast, weaken his army

force on the line of the Mississippi. We hope
this policy will be carried out vigorously at
