The Press of tho South.


The Press of tho South.
1t is always delicate subject to touch the press
or to deal arbitrarily with it in times Of peace. 1t
is thus not perhaps quite free from danger for
ournilitnry chiefs in the Southern States to inter-
fcre wth,it. Thus far they have done very well
in the exercise of their new powers Gen. Sicklcs
especially has acted with good deal of judgment
and wisdom in many respects, although we do not
altogether like his modelling in that flag business.
1t was rather too small an affair, inasmuch as 1t
was a mere matter of taste. Different people like
different flags in public professions; some affect
red, some black some blue some notified and some
striped. Taste in burners and standards, Ike cos
tunes, is of the medley order. For instrnce, the
Mosems on certain occasions carry a horses tail
Occasionally we find pair of unnentionabes pre-
ferrcd a woman's rights procession might most
appropriately adopt a peticoat for the device on
their standard Gcsslcr, the tyrant ofSwtScrland,
insisted upon the people bowing down to his cap.
1t is always better 10 leave these things to shape
themselves.
General Schofcld, commanding Virginia, who
is very able man, and has good deal of sense,
has, VIC perceive got into collision with the Rich
mond press If he would leave the press TO COR
rect the press he would save himself vast deal of
trouble The best and most effective answer to
foolish or violent article in newspaper is squib
from another paper. 1t is too paltry a business
for distinguished general to try to conduct any
paper The more violent journal is, the more
certain and speedy the reaction. During the war
the Richmond papers were full of the grosscst
abuse of Abraham. Lincoln, :fhc Yankees" and so
FORTH When we got batch of them always
published the most violent of their articles, and
had a good laugh at them for the next two days.
We never got angry We took their attacks in
the best of humor. Therefore, We advise our mil
itary chieftans in the South--Gieneral Sckles,
Schofeld, Pope and the rest-not to mcddle with
the press Let the bad taste of one paper be cor
reccd by the good taste of another. They will
find this much the best cure in the end.-~N I.
Herald
The Hollywood Memorial Bazaar.
The New York HeraiTs Richmond correspondent,
after visiting the Bazaar on Saturday writes:
The Hollywood Memorial Bazaar is having
brilliant career of success To-day the tllTong of
fair ladies and gay cavaliers was bright and gilt
tcring in the extreme Richmond has seldom seen
so dazzling an array of Southern beauty assembled;
or has ever had bazaar that has gained such gen.
eral.sympatly and liberal patronage. The memory
of the Confederate dead is cherished from the Po-
tomac TO the Rio Gra,idc with fervor of senti-
mcnt that breaks forth at intervals with singular
unanimity Each Southern State has a table in the
bazaar, pillarcd and canopicd with flowers and en-
twining evcrgrecns, and presided over III every IN
stance by bcvy Of refined and beautiful indies
gentleman of economic disposition enters with
fear and trembling for as he pursues his devious
course through the fashionable asscmbhgc scduc-
tive and irresistible eyes meet his, and unless his
heart be hard or his pocket light the willy fair ones
obtain pccuniary sacrifice. The articles of b.
jouteric and embroidery are of costly kind, and
so arranged that when one enters the selection is
seen at glance. The coup d Ga of the BAZAAR
as witnessed from the entrance to-day. was pano-
rama of rich toilets, lOvciucss, costly paintings,
prizes of silvcry sheen, the whole made animated
by the fitting to and fro of petite and graceful
figures and the buzz Of laughing voices.
Some on Circulation.
There has been good deal of gasing and blow
ing about newspaper circulation, lately, but the
following from the Louisville Journal, settles
things considerably:
.sThe daily circulation of our paper-to actual
bona .dde paying subscribcrs-is just five million
six hundred and twelve thousand and forty-two
sheets. We have employed upon the paper five
,lrn1a ,lnnr nu
editors, nine hundred carriers, three hundred and
,wclyc mailing clerks and other aidcrs TOO numcr-
ols 10 mention. We have taken special charge Of
the falls of tho Ohio, and use them exclusively for
.wctting down our paper. We have eleven paper
mills in constant operation, the smallest of which
turns out two hundred thousand bundles of paper
duilv 1t requires seventeen ninelecn-sory Hoe
presses to work off our vast edition. and we are
compecd to engage all the coal that is mined IN
Iebirh valley rs well as contract f)r all that comes
down the Ohio river, to supply or engines with
fuel Our correspondents are all graduates OF the
first universities and colleges III the world and are
stationed in every city, town, and hamlet on the
habtable globe
Well bet the Journal man would not s~ear TO
that, even to secure the post office printing though
we know he is Il prolanc man and much given al
times, to cussn.
