The Fall pf Richmond.
The neis published to-day, from anextra.bf the
Carolinian, is of a startling character; and, if
true, finds us ot'unprepared, for though sucb an
e.vent. w4s not immediately looked for, it was not
deemed impr le. Now that it'has happened,
we are not osed to criticise the wisdom of
such a -mov6, or lament'over it as an unfortunate,
irremediable catastr9phec. Let us rather strip for
the fight, and meet the issue bravely and, with
.-renewed energy, determination and devotion.
."With the fall of Richmond, the cause is not lost.
Mental Esllucinatio.
Some folks labor under the strange delusion.
that, editors anc printers live on air, and work
jut fr the fun of the thing, but bless 'their b6
Lighted understandings,' their minds are be-fog
'ged, in'a cloud, the stAbble material of their
brain needs deep -breaking. We cannot soqd.a
paper free to a man, or woman'either, simply for.
a shake of 'the paw, or a fascinating smile. - Our
terms ate pay in advance; and single copies. not
gratis. We are thus particular, in that some of
or good friends gpt angry when charged.
Have-w a Town Councill?
This question has been propounded, and an
answer requested, a difiult one -we confess, and
- a problem 'which only a Rhiadelphia lawyier
inight solve. As for us, we knocg under, but
judgipg from thq sen.es of sight and smell, we
most emphatically say no! yet we may be mis
taken, ruch a body may exist, for though lost to
sight, who knows but they are lyi quietly en
sconsced under some one.of-the m ny 4secum.u
ti6nns, about town. playing thimblerig, or mum

'peaches.' Are you aniswered ?
