Every now and then some conceit-
ed person takes it upon himself to
advise us how to conduct newspa-
per. The latest is suggestion that
it is best to say nothing about per-
sons if we have no good to speak Of
them. Now, we are ready to &C
knowledge that this is excellent ad-
vice to be followed by parties III pri-
vate life. and would rebound to the
credit Of any and all PERSONS none
more so than those who offer the ad-
vice. For the benefit of these kind
bodies we will state that our concep-
tion of the duty of newspaper edi-
tor is to advocate the right and cen
sure the wrong. This we endeavor
to do, without regard to who ap
plauds or who objects to our criti-
cisms, and we expect to continue the
even tenor of our way until we receive
more certain proof of our error than
the idle vaporings referred to. Que
thing we have noticed, viz: those who
complain loudest at censure are gen.
orally the most tickled at compli-
mentary notices in the newspapers.
Nothing gives us more pleasure than
to say good of persons when they
deserve it, but this is certain, we shall
never refrain from censuring mis-
deeds in high or low places for fear OF
mourning the offenders displeasure

A case of smallpox il Alexandra
is reported by the papers Of that town.
The victim is Cot N. L. McGinnis,
who was taken down with the dis
ease on the 10th of April, shortly az
ter his return from a two weeks stay
in New Orleans. Stringent measures
have been adopted by the board Of
health to prevent it's spreading, and
the medical fraternity think there is
little fear Of other cases. News from
Alexandria of the 10th reports that
Col. McGinnis Is the only case up to

for alarm among our citizens. As a
