H1- The following very sensible and
valuable notice TO correspondents of news
papers, we find in the Mobile AdUerdssr:
To CoRREsPoSpENTs.-W have within
the last few days, received a number OF
communications on various subjects, seve-
raj OF them well written and on topics OF
public interest. but unaccompanied by
the name of the author We have so
often announced our determination not to
publish communications not vouched for
by responsible name, that we supposed
it was generally understood. We are
gratified at receiving the favors of our
friends. but to secure attention, our cor
respondents must conform to the follow
ing well established rules
l. Only write on one side of the sheet.
. Let your name accompany the COM
municaties.
3. If YOU address us through the Post
Office. be sure TO pyeDgyr you postage.
4. 1t You desire your Ms. preserved, if
not published, be careful to say so when
you send it.
5. Study point and brevity in compost
tion, and be careful TO avoid personal
ties.
1t often happens that communications
written with due regard to printers rules
are nevertheless not published at all, or
are considerably delayed. This may arise
from various causes. For example, com
munication may be well written, and with
a good purpose, but it may not be timely
or prudent to publish it-or it may be
crowded out by pressure OF matter OF
more immediateinterest, oritmay be based
| upon a mistaken view Of fact tending to
/ create erroneous impressions, etc, etc.
Now, it is the editors province to de-
eide all these matters, and correspondents
| have no right to take exception to his ac-
/ ton in the premises. They may be sure
/ that his reasons are sufficient, although
they may not understand them; and
/ besides, it must be remembered that a
newspaper is prjyafs property, and ali com
munications, if inserted at ALL are pub
/ lished as matter OF public interest or of
/ personal favor and not of right.
