FINE PLUMs.-Our friend Byars must knock un-

they were, are beateH-that is, we have received
frem Our friend ID. K. Gaitney, few of another
variety that is superior to his larger and, to our
taste, better. They called the Yellow Gage,
and the few that were brought to us. from tree
only three years old, considerably larger than
taose mentioned last week. Friend Byars must
try again. though his plum of that variety were,
no deebt, as fne as the world ever produced.

was stated that the attacking force would
consist of fifty three thousand, and the list
of regiments engaged was enumerated.
From other sources, it appears that Scott
had so admirably planned his attack that not
a thought of defeat was entertained
He expected to march upon our left wing,
turn it with ease, get in the rear of our little
army, and with his overpowering forces, sur
round and cut US to pieces. Several letters
found upon the field and along the lines of
retreat, state this fact in plain words. Others
which l have read request of distant CORES
pondents, after Sunday next, to mail future
communications to Richmond or Manassas,
as the case may be. Another indication of
their contemplated success is in the fact that
a large number Of ladies and gentlemen fol-
lowed the rear of the army to Centreyille, the
former to welcome the " heroes" on their re-
turn, and the latter to witness the fight.
Many of these were members of Congress, and
have heard it mentioned, BY gentleman
lust from Alexandria, that Senators Wilson,
Wade and Foster, of Connecticut, were among
the number. The last named is said to have
been killed by stray ball, and Wade nearly
so BY a similar messenger, which whistled
near his head. These brave senatorial
knights stayed only long enough to witness
the commencement of the disastrous result,
and then turning their carriages, drove in all
haste to the city Of Washington.
The same gentleman, from whom l have
gathered the Allows details, also states chat
the time of several thousand Of the volunteers
expired on Saturday bat they were informed
that they could not be paid of until the en-
suing Monday, and would not then be dis
charged, unless they participated in the for
ward mesement Of Sunday. Thus forced
into the hattie and defeated, Il IS no wonIer
that when thar retreated, they wentstraight

chat they might return 20 their homes.

1t is true, there are some among Us whose
situation and circumstances arc such that
they cannot now contribute any aid to the
Government, simply because they have not
the means at their command. Such persons
should be excused and we should regret
with them their inability to participate in
the glorious privilege of sustaining those
brave men who are at this moment fighting
for our liberties. But of those, if there be
any such, who have the means, and, regard
less of ali the inducements and appeals that
passing events present to their view, WILL
NOT set apart a portion of their abundance
to aid their country in this its hour of trial.
! have no word of reproaeh-no denunciation
to make, but [ would leave them to that
sure and inevitable punishment arising from
the estimate which their fellow-citizens
will place upon their conduct now and for
all time to come.
1t is objected that this plan for raising .
revenue for the Government does not ope-
rate equally upon the people; and taxation
is recommended. Well, this is the only
plan we have offered to u.s. Taxation has
not been resorted to. 1t is only under this
plan that we can now aid our Government.
We must adopt this plan, or our Govern
ment must be without means for its support.
This, perhaps, IS . sufficient answer to the
objection But I must say, approve the
plan; think it is the wisest that could be
adopted.

The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1861-09-21

The circulation established by the above tables
is greater than that Of any other daily journal in
the civilized world. In France the largest daily
issue ever attained by newspaper was that of
10000, reached by La Presse during the Revolu-
ton of ls4s. The average daily circulation of the
London Times is $4,000, and in times of great
political excitement it has once or twice issued
6o,000-never more. That of the NEW York
HERALD exceeds the circulation of all the
daily newspapers Of this city-morning and
evening-put together. The marked increase
which has taken place in it during the last
trade of the city and country, paralyzed
FOR time by the rebellion, is reyiving.
Business Of every sort is rapidly resuming
Its wonted activity, operatives finding less
difficulty in obtaining employment, and the
advertising columns of the newspaper
the best index of the times-daily exhibit, in
large progressive addition to their trade
prosperity. We need scarcely point out to those
who find it necessary to aid the impulse thus given
TO their business by more extended publicity, the
advantage of advertising in the journals which have
the largest number of readers. One advertisement
thus published is worth dozen distributed amongst
newspapers of inferior circulation and influence.
