I EDITING A PAPER.
i- . i- i ' : ,! I s i- M.:;
; aear what the National Intelli eencer
says bpul editing a newspaper: ,! !
i Mitny people estimate tbe ability ojr
newspaper, and the industry and talent of
its editor by the editbrial mailer ii con.
tains; It is comparatively ah easy task
for a frothy writer to, pour out daily coll
qrnns of words words upon any and all
subjects. His ideas may flow in one
wishy-washy everlasting floodand bis
command of language may enable him to
stringj them together like bunches of on
ions ; and jyet his paper may be a meagre
and poor concern. But what is the toil
of suh jrjian who displays his leaded
matter largely, to that imposed on a judi
ciousj wellj informed editor, who exercises
his vocation vith an hourly consciousness
o his responsibilities and. duties, and de
votes jhimself to the conduct of his paper
vvith.he same care and asisiduity that a
sensibile lawyer bestows upon suit, a hu
mane physician upon a patient, without
regard to show or display! i'lhdeed.thf
mere jwritihg part of editing: paper t
but a small portion of the work. The care,
tbe tifne employed in selecting, is far more
impoijtant,j;ban the fact of a good editor
better! known by his selections than any
thing jelsH,j and that we all know is half
the battle.; Byt as we have said, an edi
tor oqgbt to be estimated, arid his labors
understood and'apprciated, by the gener
aj conduct of his paper, itston,lts princi
pie arid aims, its manliness, its dignity antl
propriety. To preserve these as thev
should be preserved, is enough to occupy
fully the time and attention of any many.
If to this be added the general supervision
of the newspaper establishment, which
most editors have to encounter, the won
der is how they find time to write at all.
"SKY HIGH, SIR, SKY .HIGH!"
Wherever the news of Gen. Pierces " Home
views1 on the Fugitive Slave Law and the in
stitutions of the South has extended, it has pro
duced a prodigious sensation. In Charlottes
ville, a;; public meeting was forthwith held, and
the changes rung upon tbe shameful fraud will
immense effect. People are beginning to won
der, in; all quarters, that they could have been
imposed upon so long by such gross impostures!.
- Tbe revelations from New Boston exhibit
the Locolocos in the very act of playing a Yan.
kee lrik upon the South. 1 They have -don0
the thing before, but they bave escaped detec
tion until afier its consummation. ; Now, like
a thief caught in the manor, they have no loop
hole of escape. They knew their man Pierce
they' kne w that Van Buren, and Hallelt, and
Rantoul, and Bryant, and Dix, and ihe rest of
the Free Soilers, were going for bim with " a
gush of enthusiasm." He was nominated be
cause he could obtain that support and as he
was able to obtain it, because he was known
to Van Buren Co. to LOATH El he Fugitive

been .uied. j The subject bits jbeejn made: k
matter ff inquiry by tbe jauihoritlei, and th
following are some of the facti reported by the
committee s. , '
! "Thl minimum flow of tbe tjroton durioo;
a drought is less than 27,000,000 of gallons in
24 hours. Now all that flow is brought to this
iCity, and yet the supply is now dovrn in the re.
iceivingf reservoirs more than three feet lower
jthan th top water line, and tbe distributing
reservor isr not full by ten feet. The quantity
jthat ca,i bejdelivered in one day is limited to
the capacity of two pipes of three feet diameter;
so that if the Croton river could afford us any
greate rf supply, we could not gel out of the diffi
culty for some lime. The committee state that
the cosi per; gallon is three-fourtbs; of a cent,
and that the daily loss by waste amounts to
8500,000 per annum. , The committee coof
clude ibeir report by the suggesting that, unless
ihe citizens' voluntarily refrain from the waste,
it will be necessary to pass an ordinance stop
ping the supply of water to all steam vessels ;
to interdict the use of street. washers for two
or three months, and to close ail public and
private! fountains, and to compel the street
sprinklers to obtain their supply from the riv.
ers."iI: H v. f ty: 1 ' ;r.j!
The Kew York Times thinks ;it better to

. From the FayeUeville Observer, f
A Great Discocerij for North Carolina.
A writer in the Washington Union
mentions prodigious .results to flow, partic
ularly to the turpentine region of North
Carolina, from the discovery of a process
to make oil frorrtirosn.i It is stated that
two barrels, of the refuse rosin, now gen
erally thrown away, as coiling more to
get to market than ft will produce, will
make one barrel of oil ; that tbe oil is
worth 40 cents a. gallon, at which price
the demand for it, is greater than the sup
ply ; that the cost of making the oil is tri-
It is estimated that $50,000,000 are an
nually expended n the United States for
sperm pil, for rail roads, factories, &c,
and in consequence the price of animal
oils has; materially advanced. A commit
tee appointed by the Lowell mills has re
ported that "one-half less power is reaui-
site to drive heavy machinery lubricated
with a mixture of this rosin oil with its
bulk; of sperm oil; the mixture costing but
three-eights of the price of tbe sperm re-
quired Men used alone. Now when,
we estiQie the saving thus effected not
onlyin he cost of the material, but the
advantages to result from the saving of
power required when the mixture is used,
it will be perceived that one of the most
important industrial results known to the
present century is being brought through
the means of the discoverv to which
we refer above. Its effect ort the value of
property and labor in the pirie-bearing re
gions of North Carolina and Georgia can
not fail td be wonderful indeed. While
it tends': to cheapen the necessaries and
comforts of life 4n manufacturing regions.
it must eventually quadruple the value of
lands producing rosin, which are now or
may in tinie become accessible." .

and the plow hit a stump which measured just
nine feet and a half through it, hard and sound
white oak. The plow split it. and I was mi
straight through it when I happened to think it
might snap together; aifain. so I threw mv feet
out, and do sooner done this than it snapped to
gether, taking a smart bold of ihe seat of my
pantaloons. Of course I was ihibt. but I held
on to the bandies : and. though the
did all thf y could, lhat team of eighty oxen
could not tear my pantaloons, nor caiuse rne to
let go my grip. At last though, after! letting
tbe cattle breathe, they eave another tronff nall
altogether and the old stump came; out about
the quickest.: It had monstrous long roots too,
let me tel you. My wie mad tbe cloth for
tnem pantaloons, and I haven't worn anvmh-r
kind sincej. The on;ly reply made to this was;
"I should have thought it would hav onm
bard upon your suspenders." "Powerful hard."

Look Out ! Our town is flood d with
pamphlets, sent tot qqr citizens under the
frank of Members of Congress from Indi
ana, New York, &c. We have one now
before us, addressed to a highly respecta
ble Whig merchant of this" town, franked
by Daniel Mace, whom neither the receiv.
er of the pamphlet nor ourselves had ever
heard of before, ii requiring a search over
the whol e list of Members of Congress to
find out Whether there was such a man in
Congress at all. It was finally ! discover
ed that there is such a Loco foe o member
from Indiana. :
The pkmphlet is headed "The Whig
Abolitiobist attack ! Whigs and Aboli
tionists gainst Pierce." And as the au
thor seetbs to have supposed that that was
so barefaced a falsehood it would require
constant reiteration to make any body,
even hirrtself, believe it, his first sentence
isas follows: "The abolitionists are bit
terly opposed to Franklin Pierce."
The enormity of this falsehood is appa
rent to eyery man of the least information.
Does any body deny! that John Van Bu
ren has j taken the stump in favor of
Pierce? That Martin Van Buren, the
candidatp of the Abolitionists for Presi
dent of the U. States at the-last election,
has written a letter to the Locofocos of
Tammatjy Hall, declaring that f he lives
Pierce shall have his vole Does any
body deny that Gov. Cleveland of Connec
ticut, and; Preston King of New York, and
Robett tiantoulof' Massachusetts, and Da
vid Wilmotof Peiinsylvania.all df the very
highest standing , in the abolition party,
all eminent leaders of that party, are
w .
Does
facts,
open in
their support of Pierce ?
any body deny these well known
we ask again ?
We have not had time to read tbe pam
phlet entire,' but setting out with such a
glaring falsehood, we have no doubt that
the whole is in keeping with such a be
ginning. ;
We would like to know how many of
these pamphlets are franked into Northern
States? Not one! , . . ,
At a meeting of the Cape pear and
Deep Rii'er Company, at Pittsborough, on
Thursday last, a committee of VVays and
Means recommended the borrowing of
$30,000 ; that all tbe day laborers be dis
charged.and the hands hired by tlpe year be
put on the lower works; that the other ex
penses of the company be proportionally
reduced and that the Legislature he me

An Itenfor Geologists. A letter from
Lake Superior says that a wooden skid
was lately found rtwenty feet below the
surface, iipon whicbJ was resting a mass
of copper weighing more thanrfive tons.
Two copper tools, and several hammers
of stone, together with coal and ashes of
wood, were lying around it, as fresh to
all appearances, as though they had been
made last year : and yet there was six
feet of vegetable soil above them, sur
by a tree which, on being cut,
proved to be tit least five hundred years
old.
