The San Jose 7rtJuae, rebel journal, having
asked who this Mercury editor is, the Mercury man
comes back at him thus:
&" Who is the editor Of the T5}upe? An Irish

other Government than that under which he was
reared who uses the columns Of his paper to
viliiy and traduce the institutions that foster
him and warm him into lite and then insists on
using the Governments mails to disseminate his
treason, who catches at every sentence published
by the British press disparaging to our people
and Administration, and republlshes the speeches
OF public men in our own country in open sym

.T5lll FROM the ftlclmonu wing July 19.
The high rates still demanded for all ar
ticles of subsistence soldtin tue city mar
kets is justly regarded as an eVilwhich de-
mands the application, if possible, of some
corrective. We have heretofore opposed
the establishment of a tariE of rates, and
still believe that it would be inexpedfeut to
prescribe prices at which produce must be
sold; but we must say thatthe competition
among sellers, which, when left unrestrict-
ed, usually regulates prices, according TO
the supply of aud demand for any article,
has not developed that effect here to any
great extent. The only competition we
hear offs o dishonorable and Rvaricious eff
fort on the part of market men to get high
er prices for the articles they offer for sale
than any one else. No matter how large
the supply of any article, they manage by
some means to keep prices iupito the bigb-
est notch; aud, it is said, that any surplus
