Since tae institution Of a postal embargo
mon all mail matter coming from the enemy's
country, we have been painfully compelled for
the most part to forego The pleasure of Perus-
ing the interesting columns Of the various in
cendiarv journals that, bat a while back were
tie daily visitors Of cur sanctum. Exchanges,
almost without number, yet crowd our table,
and lie scattered upon our hoor-but there is a
singular yet loyal monotony in The sentiments
thsy advance, and in the unsxsnplsd earnest
ness with which they rally to the support Of
the South, that almost Iuils Us with it's narcotic
influence into the dangerous sleep OF an undu-
titul sentinel. They all have turned their
"masked batteries upon that decayed old
government, whose columns have crumbles m
der the tread Of tyranny, and whose sanctuary
has bsea violated By the denominations Of a po-
litieal and religious infds|ity.
But our editorial table has become a
stranger 10 all those fussy, frettiBg, f~anatical
organs Of negropholism that were wont so
often to obtrude their obRoxiou contents upon
our celumns-sometimss, perhaps, making a
successful forsy upon our e~quEnimity. We
caansw only occasionally enjoy the privilege
OF scanning the columns Of that venal,
versatile and vicious sheet, the New York
Hzrald which, but a few months back, was
sid y the newsboys upon the streets Of The

hckle and timorous reAsctor OF the opinions
Of all that portion Of the northern people,

missing in politics, it moulded rather than re-

there's the World, a tricky, trsitorous affair,
which set out upon the journalistic sea emf

dirty p~artizsn issues. We witnessed
the madness Of faaatieisn in The gradual
growth Of its moral obllquiiies, and wondered

edited By that fierce specimen OF a gooss-quill
warrior, RAYMOND, sometimes eludes the
