Enlargement or the Times.

Through 'smuch tribulation" we have at
last succeeded in getting our new CottrelI
y Babcock press in operation and have
the qualification of printing this issue of
the TIMES upon it. Thus far we are much
pleased with the working of "the machine, y
though being new it works yet little
rough. This however will soon correct
itself, and as we become more familiar
with its management we anticipate much
rellef from the arduous labors which we
have heretofore been obliged to undergo
IN the running of our old hand press We
are however principally gratifed because
we are now enabled to give our readers
much more matter, both reading and adj
vertising. Heretofore we have been very
often obliged to leave out temporarily
many of our yearly advertisements in order
to make place for new. and current bust
ness. The issue Of the TIMES of to-day,
1t will be seen, by any person who will
take the trouble to compare it with the
late numbers. contains fully eight columns
more OF matter. We will thus be able to
accommodate all advertisers and at the
same time give to our readers more vari-
-fd ndlarae.- aSsnrtm elaA Of sfncruf news
and miscellaneous reading. We have it
IN contemplation to otherwise improve
the TINES, when we get better fixed and
settled in our new office. We have made
the OUTLAWS incident to these changes in
time of great depression of business of all
kinds, but we have done so because our
business required it and because of our
flrm faith that better time is coming.
1t has always been our ambition to pub
lish paper in every way worthy of the
appreciation of our patrons, and we flatter
ourselves that the TINES is no laggard in
the race for public favor in which we, with
SO many of our able contemporaries of the
country press, have entered At all events,
we have tried our best to keep the TIMES
up to the times. If we have not had sue
cess we have done more-we have deserv-
ed it. We believe our efforts will be duly
appreciated by the people among whom
we have lived SO long. and for whose in
terests and enjoyment we have labored for
thirty-two years. We hope they will show
this appreciation in so substantial man.
ner that we may be stimulated to new
efforts in their behalf.

The south and Negro Labor.

Our neighbor, the Independent, in its
last weeks issue publishes shy request, y
an article from the Manchester England
Guardian, which says that "the Southern
ers. or at Least some of them. are still un-
able to conceal the pleasure it would give
them to make clean sweep of the blacks. y
AS an evidence Of this the Guardian al
Iudes to pamphlet issued sometime since
by one A. G. Murray, Of Georgia, in which
he gravely proposes that the negroes should
all be shipped to Africa by the Govern
ment. This pamphlet Of Mr.. Murray's was
published some months since and at the
time elected some comment from the press
of this country, mainly because of the fact
that MI. Murray was Radical, and in
