TIE CHA1LEsToHER ZErTUNs.-In the lei.
tung OF Saturday it is announced that this e1-
ceilect journal will, in future, be under the
editorial charge OF the Revs. A. ]. Hoffman
and Z. Muller, assisted By other gentlemen.
The new editors, in modest and well written
a-tic.e, say that they have great confidence in
the future of the Zeitung. ana that they will
give their best endeavors to making it thor:
oughly good German paper. They return
thanks to the retiring editor, General Jno A.
wagener, who, with his customary enc: gy ano
ability, had resuscitated the journal and con-
Quoted it up to the present time. They make
no general: declaration OF principles, as they
are but temporary helmsmea, and they
prudently remark that they cannot tel
what they will sa7 or do, as they do
not know themselves. The Zeitupg is to be
made thorough newspaper, and while it will
show the current OF opinion, it will not hesitate
to oppose the popular will where truth and
principle require it. The object OF the zetung
Is not political. It is tied to no party, and will
be steadfastly directed to securing ths good
and happiness Of the city and State. All short
eomings the editors desire may be laid to theiI
inszperiencs,; and not to Their want OF good
will. .....s :, e,-,e
We regret that the connection Of Gen. Wag.
ener with the Zeisung should have been dis
so,vadssa to our German contemporary,
under issnew leaders, wish the fullest measure
OF success. ~
ST. MIcHaKL,s CLocx.-The late Council,
feeling the necessity Of soma public monitor
to mark the gaeeting hours, determined that
st. Michae.'s clock, which had been very errat-
ic in it's movements toc some time, should be
overhauled, regulated, and put in complete
running ORDER The contract was awarded to
Mr.. Henry Summer, an experienced horolo.
giss, with the understanding that the clock
should not only b, ma lie to keep time, but 10
strike as in days OF yore. Mr.. Summer has for
SONS time been engaged in the prosecution OF
this work; the hands we're removed, aad the
whole internal machinery taken ousiand clsan'
ed. Several important wheels were found 10 be
badly worn, aad had to be replaced with new
ones. The clock had not bes1 c.esned 70,
ovcr twenty sears, aad the dust had settled
80 thickly on the works in that time tha
it was found impossible to put it in ru,-
ming order as speedily as had becn hopd.
a survey was taken on Saturday BY sE-
eral gentlemen who are interested in he
progress Of the work, and Mr.. Summer x.
pressed himself confident Of his ability to IN
ish his undertaking By the arst OF Aug 9t.
Some little change will be made il the arrange
mint O.. the bells, bat the difference will lot
be noticeable. The worSs snd striking apa-
t1s have been examined by experienced ne.
chanics, who stats that, with few: triaingex-
captions, they are asr good as new. 40
