The st. Louis Republican pitches in
to President Lincoln for pardoning Sher-
man NJ. Booth Of Wisconsin. who was
in prison under sentence of the law for
helping to rescue a fugitive slave. The
paragraph copied at the head of this at
tack shows that the pardon was signed
on the Cd inst. 1t seems odd that The
Republican should not have reflected
that Mr.. Buchanan was President OF
that day, and that it was he who pardon

Taxes in Mississippi.

"Our neighbors of Mississippi are already
experiencing the benefits of secession. AT
the start off special tax of only fifty per cent
is levied but If they, as well as the property
holders OF the other Seeding States, get
through their career without having their
taxes increased more than Eve hundred per
cent, they will come out well indeed. The
following is the circular of the auditor efpub-
lie accounts to the sheriff OF the respective
counties in regard to the special tax:

An Editor on Editing.

Artemus Ward, alias Brown, late local ed.
itor of the Cleveland PlaiDdealer, gives the
following advice to young men who aspire &c
decome editors of newspapers:
Before you go for an editor young man,
pause and take big think! Do not rush
into the editorial harness rashly. Look a
round and see if there is not an omnibus to
drive-some soil somewhere to be tlled-a
cerkship of some meat shop to be filled
anything that is reputable and healthy, rath-
err than going for an editor, which is hard
business at best.
We are not horse, and consequently have
not been called upon to furnish 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 tile steed in question. II
the yeas and neighs could be obtained, we
believe that the intelligent horse would de-
eide tia. the threshing is preferable to the
sanctum editorial.
Tile editors work is never done. lie Is
drained necessarily, and no wonder that he
is used up prematurely. Other people can
attend hanquets, weddings, &C., visit halls
Of dazzling light, get inebriated, break win
dows, lick man occasionally. and enjoy
themselves in variety Of ways; but the ed
itor cannot. He must stick tenaciousy to
the quill. The press, like sick baby,
mustn't be left alone for moment. II the
press is left to run itself, even for day. some
absurd person Indignantly orders the carrier
boy to stop bringing that internal paper
There's nothing in it. | won't have it in the
houseV
But there is good time coming, we fell
confident for the editnr--a time when he will
he appreciated; when he will have front
seat, when he will have pie every day, and
wear store clothes continually; and when the
harsh cry of Stop my Paper ! will no more
CRATE upon his ears. Courage, Measeurs Ed
tors.
Still, sangnine as VIC are Of this Jolly time
