London, Jan. 24, 2:45 p. m.-The ex- 1feme tension caused by what may justly be designated the most anxious pause since the war began, had not bcen relieved up to the time of writ ing by anything save the daily stock exchange rumor, which happens tc have been started by the bulls, who assert that Gen. Warren has captured EpiOn Kop. Anxiety in regard to the Dews is visible on all sides. The war sifice was besieged at an early hour. and the clubs and other resorts liable So receive early news have been crowded with eager inquirers.
 Recognized Fact.
 It is generally recognized that the Boer position, if ever taken, can only be captured at a tremendous cost.
 A dispatch from Pretoria, dated Tuesday, January 23,. somewhat am. paifies the dispatch of Monday. Janu- sry g. from the Boer head laager, sabled Tuesday evening. It says:
 -Four or five times during the day the British replaced their wearied soldiers by fresh ones. The Boer cas- ualtics to date are one man killed and two men slightly injured. Our men are in excellent spirits. There is large daughter of the British.

 -Gen. Botha is now in sole com. nand, Gen. Cronje having been sent elsewhere"

The paper was published for while as tr!
weekly and the name changed to the New

This editors recollection Is, that Thos. P

publication OF the Rising Sun about the last
of February, 1856. The motto was: "1i
Shines For ALL" l went from Laurens, where
l had been employed on the Herald. to New

column of type for the Rising Sun. The origi
nal intention OF Slider & Crosson was to
commence the publication on the first o.
January, 1856, but owing to the extreme cold
the transportation was interfered with. The
press and the type did not arrive until, say
the 10Th of February.
