TIE HERALD AND GENERAL BUTIxR's RENO
vAI--The HERALD has ever been remarkable for
that highly important feature which best es-
tablishes the value Of q newspaper, the early
announcement Of news In which the public are
most interested. As one case in point among
thousand, we might mention the fact that no
other journal in the city had the news Of Gene
raj Buffers removal on Tuesday morning ex-
cept ourselves. All the other papers were
completely beaten; but this Is not remarkable,
for the HERALD always publishes news Of i'm
portance just in the same way. The intelli-
gence Of General Buffers removal from COM
mand was doubted by many republicans be-
cause IL appeared only in the HERALD. Some
Of them, perhaps, doubt its truth still,
for they were astonished that Il did
not appear in the republican journals,
