To THE EDITOR OF THE PREss: -Fo1 .'.f-i5-ll ~
Your correspondent "Old Fogy-pefhapsa
was aware of the danger of treading on the
toes Of an editor, and hence breatnes freer al
ter the slight sail, of wit upon his "old fogy-
lam while he is truly obliged for the second
reading given his communication, which led the
editor to acknowledge that his correspondent
was about right. But one word more, Mr..
Editor, if you please. I did not intend to com
vey the idea that you should exclude your tel
egraphic dispatches altogether, but expressly
stated that if intelligent correspondents were
employed to forward only such matters as
would lose interest by delay, such as markets,
election returns" &C., that publishers would
be saved from much unnecessary and expen-
sive night work, and your readers would be the
gamers, inasmuch as they would in all proba-
bility get articles of interest at length, whereas
they now get only synopsis. The very items
you reproduced yesterday to show what 4
would exclude as of no interest, sufficiently
substantiate the position take, viz, that such
news would lose nothing by delay, especially
SO in regard to the arrival of the steamer upon
which two deaths had happened. The simple
fact of the arrival and the deaths was announ-
oed, but no further particulars given. Now I
contend that it would be better to delay such
intelligence until you can give the facts most
interesting to know, viz, the names of those
who have died. But enough from = '---'

The Railroad Engineer.

One Of or railroad engineers, some
years. since, was running an express
train of well=filled cars It was in the
night, and very dark night too. His
train was behind time, and he was put
ting the engine to the utmost speed Of
which it was capable, in order to reach
certain point at the proper hour. He !:
was running on a straight and level
track, and this unusual velocity, when
conviction struck him that he must
stop. "A something seemed to- tell
me- he said, ''that to 90 ahead was
dangerous, and that must stop if I
would save life. I looked back at nv
train and it was all right. I strained
my eyes and peered into the darkness,
and could see no signal of danger, nor
anything betokening danger, and there
in the daytime could have seen five
miles. 1 listened to the working of nv
engine, tried the water, looked at the
scales, aud all was right I tried to
laugh myself out Of what I considered
a childish fear: but, like Banquo's ghost,
it would not go down at any bidding,
but grew stronger on its hold onme.-
thought of the ridicule / would have
heaped upon me if I did stop; but it
was Of no avaial. The econviction-for
by this time it had ripened into a CON.
vietion-that [ must stop, grew strong

and blew the whistle for brakes accord
lngly. | came to adead halt, got off,
and went ahead a little without saying
anything to anybody what was the mat
ter. I had a lamp in my hand, and had
gone about sixty feet, when I saw what
convinced me that premonitions are
sometimes possible. I dropped the
lantern from my neryeless grasp, and
sat down upon the track, utterly unable
to stand z SO
