Newspaper Etiquette.

Surely, there is something between
rose-water and bilge-water in which
the editorial pen may be dipped. There
are various methods of self-defence.
Tigers have theirs polecats theirs
and decent men theirs. Vituperation
is not force, and abuse is not the most
effective argument The foolish per.
sonality which calls journal by the
name Of it's editor springs from lack
Of editorial comfy, that gains nothing
for any paper and loses something for
all. Honest indignation, caustic sat-
ire, incisive argument, stern denuncia-
ton, all these are weapons that every
editor may honorably employ. But
there arc such things as scurrility and
calumny, and of these no public jour
nal, which aims at any thing higher
than the applause of mean and igno-
rant men, would be guilty more than
y private gentleman would be. The
power Of the press ahould be carefully
used. To pillory private or public
person by name before the country !;
to accuse him of dishonesty and to
6lo,o upon his character, is SO tremen-
dous responsibility that it should be
assumed only upon the surest knowl
edge. To do it hastily, vindictively,
or wantonly, is to wound fatally the
power and fame of the newspaper.

Two u. S. Marshals have arrived at

While digging coal in a mine near

wood was found in a second strata of

Several Indians of the Musquawka
tribe have been prowling about town
the present week. They enter dwell
ling houses unlimited, in pursuit of
food and clothing, and seem to think
they have an ownership in whatever
they choose to lay hands upon. Poor,
miserable, filthy creatures. They are
too lazy and mean to procure sub
sistence except by gambling, begging
or stealing. Can these be the noble
savsges we read about?
