EXEMPTION OF PRrNTERs.-The Richmond Dis
patch has article on this important subject FROM
which we make the following extract:
We are not aware of single country on the
face of the earth in which printers are not ex-
empted from militia duty, except in Virginia and
some of the Southern States. 1t is so in Europe,
where notwithstanding the existence of mon.
archical governments the importance Of the press
to both the Government and the people Is SO well
understood, that printers are exempted from q
general levy of the population. Much more should
It be in free country where the press regarded
as the palladium Of liberty. We are not surprised
to hear that it is decidedly the sentiment Of the
Southern States now here in Congress that laws for
the exemption printers from militia service should
DO enacted
