NEWSPAPER LABOR.

Very few Of the myriads who daily pc.
ruse tho columns Of our public journals
form any idea Of the amount Of labor rep
resented by the print before them. To en-
ter upon mll statement Of The whole
s,in,.total Of toll, from the moment that
the copy SO called, or original tex, from
which the reproduction is made In type,
comes to the hand Of the compositor until
the completed newspaper is laid before its
readers, would be more complicated task
than we propose to undertake ut this time.
Our theme is simply the quantity Of sheer
scribbling performed by the newspaper
writer-the individual who furnished the
daily pabulum of facts and comments,
which are embodied in tho articles furnish
ed to the press.
This branch alone yields details that will
convince the most skeptical or careless
thinker that no member Of the community
more faithfully tolls for whatever need Of
fame and emoument he may get than the
conscientious journalist.
A regular practical writer who prepares
daily what would make two hundred lines

- Dan Rice tells one his big stories in
some Northern paper, about his late South
ern tour. He says:
In Mobile the Tumnr was started that Dan
Rice led the advance guard of GriersOn' 5
great raid as guide. The story assumed
plausibility from the fact that he was well
acquainted with the country, and from the
positive statements of persons who said they
recognized him as one of the raiders So
strong was public opinion against him from
these stores, that threats We're made on his
life, and one evening large number attend

No matter what differences of opinion
may lead the political opponents Of this dis
tinguished man in paths different from
those he pursues, there can be nothing said
against his conduct III private life, or a dis
creditabIe thing concerning his political ca
reer. All admit that his purity of character
and honesty of purpose lend to all his po-
itical actioMFthat color of ftruthfulness and
sincerity which is characteristic of, and in
separable FROM such a man Viewed i'll this
light his recent speech, delivered before the
Legislature of Georgia Hpon the condition oI
the country, carries with it a weight and a
significance which is felt even in the North
and sinks deep in the hearts of those among
us who respect his virtues and have conf,
dence in his wisdom and foresight. He
speaks to the Georgians IN the calm and dis
passionate manner of philosopher who has
studied his subject and mastered it. There
is nothing of the politician in it. 1t is calm
grave, dispassionate, and reads rs if il
was delivered with pathos arising from an
earnest conviction of the proper course to
pursue, and a firm belief in the principles
that should guide that course. His speech
reminds us of the times when the ancientS
used to listen to the lessons of their wise
men, or the times when the sovereigns and
parliaments sat quiet and garnered the po
itical teachings of their favorite states

rE- There is something in the following
remark of the Mobile Tribune on the CON-

roads in our country:
We are certain that it is not at all posi-
bic to please everybody in this world-es-
pecially in this late "eo-called Confederacy'
for now men are striving mainly to make
money. Good for them to do it honestly
and any act of the railroad which interposes
between them and their purpose, of course,
is not for moment to be tOlerated-must
not be tolerated the tenth part of small
second-for to tolerate it that long We're to
bring confusion to the whole universe.

war in the United States whose duration
would be four years. That for seven years

haps the civilized world would be convulsed
with these wars and rumors of wars, and

The New York World says: 1t is gratity-
ing to note that, ever since Henry Ward
Beecher made a study of the doctrine of eter-
nal punishment. his views on national affairs
have become more conservative. In his
green and salad days" before his judgment
ripcncd ne was red hot Radical and given
to very eccentric notions on morals and the
Ology. Bat when the subject of hell fire was
presented 10 him, although he expressed
some doubts as to it's literalness, yet it
effected a happy change in his politics. He
evidently made up his mind that, although
there might be no such place as hell, he had
better So shape his conduct that he would
never go there if he was mistaken. We
commend this idea to Stevens, Sumner and
Greedy. When they feel uncharitable and
malignant towards their neighbOrs, let them
consult BeecheT on hell fire, and govern
themselves accordingly.
