Special Correspondence Of the Sentinel.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 15.-It is said
4 that by Its Hewspapers city is known.
This assertion is most undoubtedly
true, and finds practical illustration
in the bright and enterprising jour
pals that are springing up in those
sections of the country which are now
n their budding infancy, and which
have made themselves, of late, known
TO the world by their industries
through the medium of their we'll
conducted and brilliant papers. This
has reference more especially to the
western cities that have in compara-
lively recent times loomed up into
prominence, and also to those growing
cities of the Sunny South which
though older in years than their Wes-
tern sisters are only now recovering
from the devastation and havoc of
the late war, and are pushing forward
energetically to the front rank. By
The newspapers a town is made known
to the outside world, and by judicions
advertising the individuals are brought
TO the notice of the public. The pros
porous condition of the South, the in
crease in the number of manufactur-
ing establishments, and the healthy
condition of all branches of industry
are, beyond question, in great meas
ure due to the excellence of the Jour
mails in setting forth the virtues of
their special towns. In this connec-
tion it may be mentioned hat Balti-
more has unfortunately lost the
brightest and spiciest of its evening
papers Ill the second suspension of the
Day, which has not met with the IA
vor at the hands Of Baltimore adver-
tisers that its merit entitled it to, and
without which support no journal can
hope to succeed. Its success was also
hindered by the unfortunate associa-
tions clinging to it as the successor of
Il still more unfortunate morning pa
per known as the Gazctte The first
suspension occurred last November,
but publication was resumed about
two weeks before the HOLIDAYS the
hoped-for and well-merited reward in
the shape Of paying advertisements
was not however bestowed upon it and
it again succumbed this week to the
tenderiess mercies Of adverse fortune
It is to be hoped that it will find
friends to tide 1t - 1:n-~i-..
and start it again on Its career, as 1t
was undoubtedly one of the best jour
mails ever published here. Its efiitori-
ais were brilliantly written, and its
comment on local topics pungent and
fearless.
