It Is scldoin in so modem a country as
onr own, an indirnloai connected with a
newspter can say that lie lias coiitroled
its columns for nearly half - a century, or
been uninterruptedly engaged iu the me
chanical duties tertaining thereto. The ed
itor of the Portsmouth (,X. H.) Journal,
however, caii say this, and we take pleasure
in eiringi from his paper of Feb. 37 th, the
following in reference to has experience as a
printer and editor:
Iu comparison of ibe common term of hu
man lire, this is long period to be in the
constant and regular exercise of one em
ployment. The recurrence of the 16th of
f February, last week, remind ns that on
that day terminated forty years since we
made our entrance into this oGSce to learn
the art and mystery of printing:. And from
the morning of the 16th of Feb. 1818, to
the present time, we have been a stationa
ry fixture never for a day during all that
time being disconnected from lbs office; but
aa apprentice for six years, journeyman for
one year, and Tor thirty-three years proprie
tor, we have gone on hand and baud with
the establishment. Once in the time we
were absent a month from sickness; but on
no other occasion hare we ever been absent
more than ten days at a time. It will be
seen that the regular yearly volume in the
head of our paper is lxix. When we enter
ed the office it s torn I thus; Vol xxix. From
1821 (when the Portsmouth Oracle took
the name of the Portsmouth Journal,) to
the present time, have we personally made
up the paper, and with our own fingers hare
made the annual changes in these Roman
charneter. Long aciinainttincc with types
has not, by daily familiarity, taken from n
that admiration of their beautiful mechan
ism, so square, to equal in bight, standing
so regularly iu lines, which was excited in
us the 6rst day we handled them.,
Bnt howeVer thick personal in-door rec
ollections may i-laster around, there are oth
-rs which arise from the out-door progre.ts
f onr country and the world, while we
hare bit-n made a printing office medium,
between the people and the events.
Forty-nine years ae", the Stits of our
Union numbered twenty of which Indiana
ami MiMSMppi had been but n year in the
sisterhood. We hare set the record of the
siiCt-essive ndiui.-Mon of Illiu is, Alaltama,
Maine, Missouri, Arkansas, Michigan, Flor
ida, Texas, Iowa, Wisconsin and California.
The imputation of onr country was then
a' out nine millions it is now altout three
imes as grent. The town of B-ton only
then contained 40,000 inhnbitants the
1-ilT now con tH ins loO.OOO. Philadelphia
has increased from 150.000 to 450,000 and
New York from 120.000 to 600.000. New
Orleans from 25,000 to 125,000. Portland,
hi the D:.-tiicl of Maine, had one-third of
its pies nt m!tiou ami many cities of
20,000 now, were then scarcely kuowu as
Vill.ies.
Tnis pnjrress of population, however is
smail, when conlaret with -the progress of
the press tf the connlry.. Iu the forty
years since we entered the-printing office,
more improreoietit has been made in the
nievliaiiictil progress vj priming, thnii front
the dity of its discorery nji to 1818. Until
wtihm three or four years of the latter date,
no jKer pros had been iiirented, and the
Lomlon papers of large , editions had two
sets of type to make a Si-asimalde issnei No
other than couimon hand presses were in
use iu the United States for printing news
papers until after IS 1 8, and newsmiers
were cons-queiitly nuall none in the coun
try lieing so large as the Portsmouth Jour
nal now is. The Boston Daily Advertiser
was then a small heet and an eXierimetn
of recent date. The three cini-weckly Bos
ton papers, the Palladium, Centinel and
Chronicle, together, made an issue each day
for many years. The Daily Advertiser and
evening Gazette are the only Boston imper
now published which date back of IS 18.
While fatality has marked so many of the
Boston paers, the Salem Register and the
Salem Gazette, pajiers which have ever kept
on the even tenor of their ways, have con
tiuued to thrive, a blessing to the commu
nity where they circulate. The same may
be said of that valuable paper, the Newba
r,Hrt Herald.
Smce 1818, the speed of printing has so
increased, that in the hour which then pro
duced 240 impressions, 24,000 can now be
made; or 100 to 1 I Ttie real issne of the
uewa-r press has increased to about the
same proportion.
The Keene Sentinel, the Amherst Cabi
net, the Concord ,Patriot, the New Ilamp-
iliire Oazette, and the Portsmouth Journal,
are all of the thirty fire living mpersin this
Mate ubli!-ltcd previous to 1818. Twelve
other papers had expired iu Portsmouth
previous to that time, and a much larger
natuber IU the other towns in the State.
Jcdicial Dicvmr is Louisiana. A cor
respondent of the Brandon (Miss.) Repnb
I ican gives the following peeiiueii of how
justice ia administered and judicial dignitv
xUHtaiued in one of the Parish Courts of

EDITOR SOCTHKSX SRODS:
-Having -received from Washington,
through the kindness of my frieud Mr.
Psaluishiger, copy , of the recent order es
tablishing a new uniform for the U. S. Army,
I . beg leave to present you a copy for the
wonder and edification of your numerous mil
itary readers. The good taste dispiayed in
iu selection is eminently characteristic of
the inventor, and it is to be hoied the new
companies forming in this section of Virgin
ia, will show their appreciation of the nui
form by adopiing it new eon., and with the
utmost promptitude:
1. Hat. To be made of soft felt, but
ternut colored, 8 feet 9 inches high, and ta
pering to ft point. The front to be ornamented
with a gilt woodeu spread earte. 10 inches
in .diameter, holding ia bis beak s scroll con
taining the name of the soldier, bis age, and
ft small ftftd concise history of his parentage
and relations. The rim to extend in frout
iu a horizontal position 4 feet 6 inches, sup
ported by two pieces of 2x3 scantling firm
ly braced against the shoulders. The run in
the rear forms a sack hanging against the
back, which is to coataiu a gridiron, bottle,
frying-pan, pipes, tobacco, and other ueces
saries. .
2. Pompon. It being well to unite util
ity with ornament, the pompons will be -
lolfows: For earairy and dragoons, ripe
orangrt; for artillery, apples; and for infant-
TJ.Jis balls, ihe Generals aud Staff will
wear pickled wuingott. The weary soldier
will thus be able to find a little grateful re
freshment on the march by sucking or nib
biug at his pompon. ' Pouqiona will be sup
plied every uioruiug in a fresh condition by
the Commissioner of Subsistence.
3. HAomtdtr Strap. To be hair and
clothes brushes as per pattern. When not
ou duty the .soldier can employ his orna
ments to great adrautage on bis own person
or the clothing of his officers. - "
4. Jacket. To be made of three-ply
carK-tiiijr, of a light and pleasing tattern,
the Unfits to be red for artillery, blue foi
infantry, ami deep green for recruits and
brevet 2d lieuteuauts. To be fastened up
the liack with hooks and eyes, which arrange
ment is calculated to exercise the soldier's
Httieuce and make him ft better aud worthi
er man.
5. Buttons. To be tin plates and enps,
r.iur of escu, ornamented with a bust ot
General Washington holding a handkerchief
to his eyes. Tnese bullous are to be at
inched to a hook, so as readily to be remov
ed for the soldier's repast.
6. Pantn.'oon. Of duck or drilling,
with a flannel irim down the side, going
clear nrjund the l-g. Tue stripe to be reo
for artillery, bird giay lor the infantry, and
-ky blue pink for the diagoous. f
On the seat nt to be liriuly affixed ft bra
Zen star, with a ktrong brass book protru
ding Irom its centre, ou which may be hung
the camp kettle and lighter articles of tue
soldier's baggage.
Tue, advantage that this hook possesses,
in doing away with the objectionable prac
tice, of "bucking," mast be evident t t al .
By hitching it to a strong staple in a wall
the soldier is effectually secured without do
ing that violence to his feelings that the pas
age of a stick between his legs is calcula
ted to occasion. Tiio dragoons can have
their hooks attached to a staple iu the cau
tle of the saddle which will give them a se
cure seat, and make them the most fearless
horsemen in the world.
Three ostrich plumes, red, white and blue,
will surmount the slur, thus securing to the
soldier brilliant ebd, under any aud every
circumstance.
1. Skor$. Of the ankle or Jeffersou
kiud, with a likeness of Jefferson worked iu
wor-led ou each foot, aud red heels.
This includes the main portions vf the nui
form, 'which 1 believe to be cutirely correct;
but fchould there be Touud some difference
between this and the origiual order, 1 doubt
uot this will prove the more sensible aud ac
ceptable of the two.
With great respect your ob't serv't,

ring the baptism of a young lady by the pas-,

rose up around her like a balloon. Her

but she was kept above the surface by the
floating orooerties of the crinoli ie. and was
bii'-ycd up o successfully that it was not

To Dib. The Albany Argus has the fol
lowing:
The papers remark, with astonishment.
that Orsini's hair turned gray during bis

to his mental agony. A better reasou is to

" I HAVE xo Pabests." A ct, V, cf c.
common interest, and one that e Usl Ire
deee8t sympathy iu every iiidivil al Who
possessed a heart to feel for stiotj .t's mis
fortunes came before Judge RtiRSyJ, of tlie
Police Court, this forenoon. A ypang and
exceadiinrlv fair rirl. of some cerrutarti
years of age, was arraigned befor judicial
authority as ft common night-wsHer, and
with many sobs and burning tjushas of
shame she pleaded guilty to, the charge.
The officer who made the complaint said
that she was new to the streets, aM that a
desire to save her from a life of prcstitution
led him to arrest her. The Jadge was
about to record the sentence, when a fresh
flood of tears from the prisoner restrained
him. . Hc looked at her fair form, clinging
to the bar, overwhelmed with terror and re
morse, and his pen dropped from bis band.
He recollected that he was the lather of
two girls, and that recollection caused him
to forget the dignity of a judge fttl assume
the feelings of s man of ft 1 . -
' Hare yon a home to go to!" the i Court
inquired, as tenderly as though he was ad
dressing a member of his owu family.
Ihe girl shook her bead, alter attempt
big to gather courage to speak.
" Are jour parents liriugf the Judge
asked.
" 1 hate no parents both are dead, and
obi would to beareu that I were too."
Constable Leigh ton was observed to pol
ish his eyes with a handkerchief, aud tbeu
retire to distant part of the court room.
" Is there any place you can go to in case
you are discharged?" he Court asked.
" I dare uot return to my native town,"
Ellen replied, " for all living there are ac
quainted with my shame. 1 atn a strauger
in Boston, and when I first arrired here did
try to obtain wotk, bui I had no references
or money to leave as security for sewing.
I struggled hard and would have worked

have been different, yet I can blame tio one
but myself, aud while 1 know that I deserre
punishment, yet 1 hope that ft speedy death
will relieve me of my sliauie aud niy sor
rows." She covered her face with her white hands
ami the tears could be seeu trickling through
them and falling upon the Boor. A gentle
man who was iu court whispered with the
Judge for a few uiit:utes, aud then Klleu
was consulted. . Her tears were suppressed
she listened eagerly and gave her assent
to some proHsition, and Judge Russet
never looked half so well as he did when he
i-xcluimed
" L-t the defendant be discharged Mr.
Power."
Aud the white haired clerk, whoe heart
is as soft as a woiuauV, joyfully , complied
with the order, and Ullen left the court
with the good wishes of every person pres
ent. ;
Our reporter understood that the stran
ger is to marry Ellen immediately and re
move her to his home in the far West,
where her misfortunes will be unknown, aud
where by a life of devotion to her husband
she caii make atonement for the past by liv

Alexander Campbell. This venerable
and distinguishtd uiau is now iu our city ou
tiusiuess connected with-the college at Beth
any, ro recently visited, as our readers know,
with a disastrous calamity. . We are grati
fied to perteive that neither years nor trials
and bis Atlautean shoulders support a
mountainous weight of both have seriously
impaired bis bodily strength, or dimmed,
much less queuched, tho marvellous fire of
his spirit. Iu all the characteristics of man
hood, he is still iu the manhood of maturity.
Aud long may he retain thia, rare possession
of his great powers.
Alexander Campbell is unquestionably
one of Ihe most extraordinary ineu or our
lime. Putting wholly out of view his tenets,
with which we of course have uothing to do,
he claims, by virtue of his intrinsic qualities,
as manifested in his achievements, a place
among the very foremost spirits of the age.
His energy, self reliance, fdfJUddily, if we
may use the expression, are the stamp that
belongs only to the world's first leaders iu
thought or action. His personal excellence
is certainly without a stain or shadow.
His Intellect, it is scarcely too much to sjy,
is among the clearest, richest, profouudest
ever vouchsafed to man. ludeed, it seems
to us that iu the faculty of abstruct thinking,
in, so to say, the sphere or pure thought, be
lias few, if any, living rivals. Every culti
vated person of the slightest metaphysical
luru who has beard Alexander Campbell iu
the pulpit or iu the social circle must have
been esptciajly impressed by the wouderful
luci'ltiy with which his faculties move in the
ingl.est plaua of thought." Ultimate facta
slaud forth as boldly iu his consciousness as
sensation do iu that ofjuost other uicii
11 e giasps and handles the iiighest, noblest,
most coiupieheiisive principles as if they
were tue liveliest impressions of the seuses.
No poet's soul is mora crowded with image
ry than his is with the riiest forms of
thought. Surely the life of a man thus ex
cellent and gifted is part of the common
treasure of society. In his esseutial charac
ter, ho -belongs to no sect or party, but to
tho world.
We trust that the mission on which Mr.
Campbell is now among us may be entirely
successful, as it most richly deserves to be,
and that, with the speedy physical restora
tion of his institution at Bethany, he may
resume his labors, and prosecute them with
undiminished vigor lor long aud peaceful
years to came. Louisedt Journal.
