TIN lloRS SHOWS HIS BRAVERY AND AT

Thursday evening last, while we were oui.
etly passing along the Sidewalk on York
street, mentally engaged with our own pri-
vate affairs. we heard from behind us the
un1a'teripg ncomium-"H Here, YOU G-1

you - Turning hurriedly around, a fist
came somewhat awkwardly in contac with
the side of our face. The shock very nat

certainly have endangered the good looks
Of our physiognomy. The attack was pro-
nounced by all who saw and heard of it,
one of the most unhea,d Of cowardlv and
brutal kind, for it came from ole of supe~
Fior weight, and from an unseen source
taking US by complete surprise. Nothing
but characteristic cowardice could possibly
have provoked it.
Since much has been said of this affair
already, we may be permitted to add
few words. The nominal cause the COW

the article which was published in our las,
week issue, in which we portrayed the
miraculous escape Of the brave and peer

the bath-house, and the case Of ,he two

APoLoGETIc.-It mas annoyed us of late as
much as it possibly could the subscribers to
the Press, TO know that il has not been de-
liyered as early in the morning, in some por-
tions of the city as is desirable. We are now
working daily over 240o copies of the Press,
and the number is constantly increasing. We
are rearranging the routes of our carriers, to
reduce them in extent and increase them in
numbers, so as to overcome the annoyance
referred to. No pains shall be spared to fur
nish the readers of the Press with their morn
ing paper as early as possible. The paper is
put to press at four o'cock-as early as it can
be without excluding telegraphic matter-and
1t is utterly impossible, with our platen press,
driven by steam and working as speedily as
any good press in the city, to work the edition
so as to make sure of the morning mails, and
secure the delivery of the paper to city sub
scribers at as early an hour as is desir-
able. We are taking the necessary steps to
secure reliable cylinder press, that shall be
adequate to all demands made upon its speed,
but we cannot command such u machine-one
of sufficient size and that will ensure good
work-without some delay.

Mes,rs. Breed q Tukey's Kid Manufaetory.

Messrs. BREED & TUKEY, Union street, are
well known and well established Manufacture
ers and wholesale Dealers In Boots and Shoes,
and they entered upon their business with a
purpose to stand up against competition, no
matter from whom or from what quarter. Mr.
Breed had been extensively engaged in SINH
lar business in Lynn, and he became satisfied
that this branch of productive industry could
as well be carried on in this city as elsewhere.
But the enterprising firm soon encountered a
practical difficulty that needed to be over
come if they would play no second part to
Mass, and would be prepared to maintain po-
position credible TO themselves and to the city.
The difficulty referred to was this: For the
large amount of kid stock necessarily demand
ed for their operations they were dependent
upon the manufacturers of other States. They
were obliged TO pay manufacturers profit on
such stock to parties in Lynn, and not only so,
but they were barred against furnishing such
stock to other manufacturers and dealers in
this State, because such dealers could pur-
chase from first hands on quite as favorable
terms as they could themselves. To meet this
difficulty, Messrs. b & L. concluded to add to
their former business that of manufacturing
their own stock, thus not only having per-
formed at home the labor of dressing the
green skins, but saving the profit paid to out
side manufacturers, and at the same time en-
abling themselves to supply other manufac-
turers of shoes and boots with kid stock, on as
favorable terms as they could purchase in
Lynn or elsewhere. 1t is gratifying to know
that in their new enterprise, they are NEE ting
with alb undant success, and have already crea-
ted one of those industrial streams which are
so indispensable to the prosperity and growth
of an industrial population.
We learn from the Price Current that they
have secured the services Of Mr. John B.
Souther, of Lynn, Mass, one of the oldest and
most experienced kid and morocco dressers of
that city, and have introduced the requisite
m achinery, together with competent and ex-
perienced workmen who have had large expe-
rience in the business. Taking the raw hides
as imported, they are tanned, dressed, and fin
ished up into five different styles of kid and
goat leather, known with the trade as brushed
kid" "glazed kid" brushed and glazed goat"
and also "pebbled goat" All the modern ma
chinery is applied in the finishing department,
andth stock turned out win compare favorably
with any manufactured in the country, and al
though it has been but few months since they
commenced operations, yet they already have a
dem and for their kid exceeding their ability to
supply, and are considering measures to in
crease their facilities for manufacturing.

boxes, bales, crates, etc, landed at the depot
in this city for the cars on that road, we judge
that our merchants find 1t no mean outlet for
their trade. We learn that the Trustees pro-
pose to lay several hundred tons OF re-roled
iron the present season, which will put the
road in the most thorough repair. The super.
intendent, Mr. Cushman, is man who fully
understands his business.

ran gave the countersiga, as well as his own
name and rank, but Col. X. refused to let him
pass, and even called him by an opprobrious
name. As at first reported, the act was little
better than deliberate murder. If this state
ment is true, the judgment of the public will
be materially modified.

CAPT. BURBANK SPILLER.-Capt. Spiller,
of Co. G, 9th Maine regiment, died in Ray
mond on the 18th inst, at the age of u years.
Captain SIS name at one time appeared in the
papers as one who had left the army and was
at home without cause, but the facts came out
that he was sick, and had received an honora-
BILE discharge. He came home about Thanks
giving time, the subject of camp fever and
chronic diarrhea, and from that time until his
death he was a great sufferer, but he bore his
affection with true martyr spirit. We have
1t from one who was intimate with him on the
Peninsula, that he was possessed of gallant
spirit, that he was brave and generous, one of
natures noblemen, and one Of Gods noblest
works-an honest man. Bnt he sleeps his last
sleep, aud is as worthy to have his name em-
blazoned on the list of Liberty's martyrs, as
though he had fallen upon the field of car
mage, and filled a grave in the swamps of the
Chiekahominy.

THE KING OF GREECE.-After the grand
popular demonstration, by which Prince Al

resulted in disappointment, it seemed best to
avoid the dangers and difficulties of election
by the people. The throne is now offered by
avote of the National Assembly to Prince
William of Denmark, brother of the Princess
of Wales. The Danish papers are generally OPP
posed to the acceptance OF the profiered
crown; but it is understood that the King of
Denmark will consent, provided that Prince
Williams right Of succession to the Danish
throne be not thereby impaired Prince viii
liam is in his eighteenth year. The Greeks
have made only one condition, and that is in
no respect embarrassing-that the successors
of the King elect must adopt the creed Of the
Greek Church.

far as practicable those now building, will be
required to be constructed in accordance with
the terms of an additional specification, drawn

lron-clad fleets can be destroyed as well as
forts. Fort Sumter, although somewhat pit
ted to-day, is, We believe, as strong as it was
when the fight began. The enemy fired about
eighty shots, mostly l5-inch, and steel pointed
shells at Fort Sumter; forty-one struck the
fort. One l0-inch gun was temporarily disa-
bled by shot.
One Columbiad OF old pattern burst One
finch riied gun was dismountcd by recoil,
and one gun was disabled for few minutes
by fracture of the elevating screw through re-
coil. Not person was killed in Fort Sumter
from any cause.
The Mercury states that five persons were
wounded slightly. All are doing well, and
there is no danger of losing life or limb
There was but one casualty at Fort Moultrie,
caused by the falling of the flagstaff, shot
away by one Of the monitors. Battery Bee
was not in any way injured, nor were there
any casualties there.
