pliment to Northern enterprise and ingenuity ::
1--WE believe they are the first English type
brought TO this city from London since 1926,
when the late Mr.. Richie, OF the Enquirer, i'm.
ported font for his paper. Since then up to
the war the Yankees supplied the South with
types. We are gratified at being able to lead on
with the English manufacture now, and will be
yet more pleased, after the war, to dress our
paper in types made here in Richmond. In
deed, q foundry was in existence here when
the war began, and our paper was printed then
on Richmond made type; but the founder was
a Yankee, and went of through the lines under
the promise TO return and bring some articles
much needed by publishers and the govern.
