Old NEWSPAPERS.

The following extract from an article in a
late magazine. entitled "Ihe Press in the
United States" expresses the Importance Of
preserving files of newspapers:
"ln future ages, these innumerable sheets
which float so lightly on the surface of our
civilization, will form impershabe records
of the manners, habits, occupations and the
whole intellectual existence of our people.
They are so numerous that no accident can
destroy them all; and they will present to
the future student of history the most lively,
natural and perfect pictures-the very NOV
ing panorana-of the busy and teeming
life Of the present generation. No exhumed
relics Of buried cities, no hyroglyphic in
scriptions upon ancient monuments. with
whatever skill and genius deciphered, nor
oven any labored description of past ages,
which may have survived the ravages Of
times, will be equal to these memorials, in
their power to recall the daily work, the
amusements, the business, and in short, the
whole material, intellectual, and social being
Of our people. The types and footprints Of
creation, imprinted on the rocks and imbed'
ded in the strata of the earth, giving knowl-
edge OF The existence and habits of extinct
species OF animals, and teaching how geo
logical periods have succeeded each other,
with their causes and concomitanls are not
SO plain and distinct to Us, AS will be these
daily etfusions advertisements and business
notices Of all kinds in the ordinary news
papers in the country, to future generations
of men, who shall then seek to learn the
successive and gradual steps by which the
social fabric shall be built up on the founda
tons Of human thought and action. Call
to mind the interest taken in poring over
newspaper half a century, twenty, or, per-
haps in California only ten years old, and
the Importance of preserving files of the
newspapers Of the day will be apparent to
every one"

The Guvmas Story.

Concerning the report of the capture Of
Guymas, the call says:
The telegram published, stating that eight
III, rsand French troops had invaded Sonora
and taken Guvmas. is SO absurd and beyond
The possibility of belief, that one is surprised
that it should have been seriously telegraph
ed across the continent. 1t is simply impos'
sibIe that such an army could have reached
the Pacific coast, except by two routes-one
by sea, around Cape Horn, an the other
across the continent. Now, it is beyond
dispute, that no French Amy has ever cross
ed the Mexican Sierras. The only military
road from ocean to ocean, through Mexico,
is that by which Corles, and afterwards
Gen. Scott conquered that country, viz:
from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico, and
thence to Acapulco That is the only mill
,ary route through the country over which
the immense trains of provisions, stores, am
muniton and forage necessary to such an
army. could cross. The French know this,
and are at this moment vainy struggling on
the Atlantic slope Of the Sielras, to reach
the Capital. 1t is therefore simply impossi
BILE that the alleged army could have reached
Sonora hy land--for no one supposes that
they would have crossed from the Rio
Grande. where it is stated French force
was located some two months ago. A fleet
requisite for the transportation of such an
army around Cape uorn would consist OF
such number of vessels AS would have made
its departure from France fact notorious
to the world. But no accounts have yet
been received of the fitting out or sailing OF
any such armada Besides we have news
here as late as that relating to the alleged
French invasion of Sonora, and nothing is
known of any such event. 1t is probable
that the news of an exaggerated account o.
the Acapulco affair, which like all other in
credible Stories grows as it goes. 1t is pos.
sibIe, not probable, that the French have
made some demonstration upon Guymas
from their picayune feet-the same that
perforated the prodigies Of valor at Acapul
co, but even that is doubtful.

The Battles of the Past Year-Losses OF
Both Sides.

The Battles OF the Fast Year-Losses or
Both Sides.
A Philadelphia journal sums up the ag
g,ega,e of battles, skirmishes, etc, and
naval engagements, during The yast year as
follows:
Skirmishes, 80; battles, 228; naval en-.
gagemenls 81. A grand total Of 6l9.
The New York Commercial says:
Our table Of the engagements during the
year 1862 give an aggregate rebel loss OF
COOS, killed, l767l, wounded, $685. prs,
oners. Added to this is 1892 reported
losses, in killed wounded and prisoners,
which makes grand total of 95,400. The
aggregate federal loss during the same peril
od is l2,4O8 killed, 5542O wounded and
S22l prisoners. Added to this is TO re-

trs, making grand total of lo6, 6,sl9
II must tie remembered. however, that
hese are by no means official firurps-n-
deed. there are very few, comparali ely,
official reports of losses. Nor do the
above figures comprise all the losses. The
battle Of Fort Craig, Texas, and VaIverde
unIonbledlv resulted in a rebel loss of 3 900
in killed, wounded and prisoners, while the
Union loss IN the first battle must ave been
at least 1000.
The losses of Pope, in his disastrous cam
paign in Virginia must have exceedel 90.
600, while the rebels escaped with a loss
not exceeding 5000. At P-rryvlle the
enemy probably lost 5000. The battles in
Arkansas have doubtless resulted in rebe
loss Of 10000, while the Union losses have
no: exceeded 5000. This increases the
grand total of rebel losses to lOS 7O7, and
that of the Uoion losses to 1850. This
is exclusive ofdeath by disease in either arm y
which must reach II very high figure.
