livery of the Message to readers in this city, j
says:
-• Such enterprise ou the part of our At- I
lanta friends is commendable, and we beg i
the readers of the Stuiulord not, to forget ;
that our extra containing the Message in i
full, was delivered to subscribers in this i
place, on the afternoon of the same day, and
sent to those in the country on the next day j
m jnHi four dai/s after it irrts delivered in :

Augusta, two days after it was published in j
Charleston, ou Ihe same day of its puhlica- j
tion in Savannah, and one week nr advance ;

In connection with the above, we would i
add, that although our neighbors of the

ing the Message printed in Augusta, fur- :

the Message was set up and printed at ihe j
Intdliycncer office on the otb. In addition j
to printing enough copies for our subscri

On the night of the 19th ulc., us the. U.
8. steamer Washington was ..proceeding
along the British channel, --lie was run into
by a brig "under full sail, boring with its
bowsprit a hole as large as a man iu her
left side, leaving therein the broken spliu-
lers of lior bow. Striking again, Iter brok
en timber bored, in another part of the
steamer, a second hole with such a force
that the whole bowsprit of the brig remain
ed in the steamer. Happily, this damage
in the steamer was six feet, above the water.
A letter in the N. Y. Tribune, says: >
“ You can easily imagine what an excite
ment soi led upon everybody. But the offi
cers did not lose their presence of mind ;
and thefirst tiling ordered was to post a watch
near the boats, armed with, loaded pistols, to
siio.it any one who :h ..ui i try to seize upon
them without an "order from riio captain.—
Tn the interior of the vessel tho chief engi
neer directed the necessary repairs, and by
his orders the holes were stopped with mat
tresses outside. The captain himself,, sus
pended on ropes above the water, worked
for hours, until the work was done. The
brig was lost sight of in the darkness of the
night,”

The High Price of Paver,—The great
advance in the price of paper within tho last
six months has put the publishers, of news
papers to serious reflection how to counter
act the evil. It is'suggested in the West,
among other things, that publishers reduce
the size of their papers ; demand advance
payment in all cases : out off “dead-heads,”
anil prune exchange lists. The effect of this
would be to reduce the consumption of
white paper and enable the printer to live.
It is now stated that rags cannot be had in
sufficient quantity, aud the reply to this is
that an increase in the price of paper will
not supply the deficit. Advance payments
would remedy a host of evils attendant on
publishers.
Here is a beautiful thought of that
strange compound of Scotch shrewdness,
strong common sense, and German mysti-
c-ism, or uncommon sense—Thomas Carlyle:
“ When 1 gaze into the -tars, they look down
on me with pi r \ front their serene and silent
spaces, like eyes glistening with tears, over
the little lot of tuan. Thousands of genera
tions, all as noisy as our own, have been
swallowed by time, aud there remains no
record of them any more, yet Arcturus and
Orion, Sirius and the Pleiades are still shi
ning in their courses, clear and young as
when the shepherd first uoted them from
the plain of Sltinar! What shadows we are,
and what shadows we pursue!”

A Remedy for Abolition.—The St . Louis
Intelligencer of ihe loth inst., discusses at
some length the evil of slave-stealing, to
which Missouri is in an especial degree sub
ject, and proposes as a remedy far the mis
chief such an additional supply of negroes
as will at once satisfy tlie wants of the abo
litionists of Illinois, and of the planters of
Missouri. The editor concludes his article
thus:
“ There is one mode only of meeting this
difficulty. Abolish the existing laws against
the slave trade, and vegulato it henceforth
and license it. The poor barbarians of Af
rica will be vastly benefitted and thorough
ly Christianised by the operation. In fact
it is only through slavery that the African
has ever had a ray of light, of reason, or of
religion poured into his darkened mind. It
was the penalties against the slave trade
that made it horrible. Make it legal and
respectable, and then we can have plenty of
niggers for our own use, aud can spare to
Chicago as many as her citizens wish to
steal.
