There is a Japanese embassy in Paris on its way to the United States. The Onondaga (N. Y.) salt springs produced last year 7,092,240 bushels. General FULLERTON has resigned from the army and returned to the practice of tho law at St. Louis. The Papal authorities have interdicted the ser? vices in the Scotch Protestant Church in Rome, and it is said they intend to Btop the services in the American chapel. Nearly all the presses of the Paris Mint are employed in coining small money for tho wants of trade, the pieces being 2f.; If., 60c., and 25c. Sev? eral millions are struck off overy day. CHARLES DICKENS has begun public readings of ?<Barbox Brothers" and the "Boy of Mugby" in the city of Leeds. The London journals report that "Mugby Junction" has had a sale of two hundred and fifty thousand copies. M. RENAN has in the press a new edition of the "Life of JESUS," in which he replies to M. VEDTL XOT'S attack upon him, and develops his own theo? ries, it is said, with much less circumlocution than theretofore. Dr. FRANCIS T.Ttmmt and JOHN BRIGHT were recently elected honorary members of the Now England Society in New York. This is the first time tibia honor, has been conferred upon a for? eigner. - Since the process of photographing upon silk and linen has been perfected in France, many persons have their portraits upon their linen instead pf their names or initials. Washing, it is fiaid, does not injure the portraits. A Japanese juggling troupe, on their way to Paris, has - reached San Francisco, where some of .their strange feats have been witnessed. Ther9 are in all about a dozen performers, and they will probably -visit the principal oities of this oountry and Europe. Another diamond bas been found in Australia, tn the district of Beechworth. It was discovered in Sebastopol Creek, at a depth of two hundred and fifty feet, amid small blue and white topazes, hyacinths, zircons, tourmaline, and tin sand. Its weight exceeded a carat and one-eighth. General PHIL. SHERIDAN emphatically denies {hat he is a candidate for the Presidency. He also says that the report that he is about to be married is equally without foundation. He wants neither the Presidency nor a wife. He bas no aspirations beyond his present happy situation and oondition. It is reported from Toulon that a powerful French iron-clad squadron will follow in the wake of the army transport fleet to the Gulf of Mexico, and that the Imperial Admiral has been ordered to look after "privateers" and "flllibusters" on the Meridan coast, in the Bahamas channel and "ports of the United States." Time between Omaha and Salt Lake City now is only eight days. Three of them are occupied in the trip from Omaha to Denver, and the remain? ing five from Denver to Salt Lake City. In this eightdays' travel there are three hundred miles of ? railroading and nine hundred of staging-total, one thousand two hundred miles. The question of adopting the Constitutional Amendment is to be reconsidered in the virginia L?gislature, which rejected it recently. This move? ment is brought about by letters to the members from their oonstitnents, received since its rejection, urging them to vote for its adoption. In a recon? sideration it will be urged to submit the question of ratification to the people. Tho hotel and buildings at Point Lookout, with two tracts ' adjoining ' containing 270 acres, were sold by Messrs. FORD & COMBS, at trustee's sale, on Iriday, the 28th of December last, for $8530. This sale was mado, we learn, under mortgage liens, 1 _-*--V ? - ... ,- vxVII of the amount paid for the property, the pur? chaser having previously purchased it from E. G. TV. HALL for $67,000. Purchaser, Jndge BIRDSEYE, . cf New York City. A curious case has come before the tribunal of a town in Bavaria. Two citizens of Bourberg hav? ing quarrelled, one of them, at a loss, no doubt, far reasons, and wishing to mortify his adversary, called him "Bismarck." Hi? advoraary brought a complaint before the court for an outrage on bis honor. The judges were much embarrassed, but in the end they rejected the plaintiff's demand and discharged the defendant, because it was impossi? ble, they said, to decide whether the appellation ''Bismarck" did or did not involve an insult falling tinder the notice of the law. The New York Merola says: "Our special tele? grams from Hatamoras are dated January 7. COR Smis waa again in front of that place, and it was expected that he would attack. The reported oc? cupations of Stn Luis Potosi, Gaudalajara and Aquas Caliento were confirmed. The San Luis garrison retreated towards Mexico City, and the liberals entered the town on Christmas day. - MEJIA'S army was completely demoralized, and he himself was sick and disheartened. President JCAJBEZ arrived at Durango on the 13th of Decem? ber. General SEDGWICK was still at Brownsville. The New York Evening Posl says an article on "Captain JOHN SMITH," in the new number of the 2?orth American Review, is the first pvpular pre? sentation of a theory which has been* held for a few J ears past by a class of our historical students. Jt not only impeaches the veracity of the founder of virginia, bnt it almost demonstrates that the celebrated story which tells how heroic POCAHON? TAS saved his life, is but a pleasant fiction at the best. The reviewer merely repeats the theory of Mr. CHARLES DEANE, which, during the war, has been hidden awayin his reprints of "WTNQFDZLD'S Discourse of Virginia" and of SMITH'S "True Re? cition." The Norfolk Journal of the 11th instant says "The steamer Pernotan, expected here towards the end of the month, will take from this port .ame 2000 bales of cotton, much of which bas al? ready arrived, more is on the way, and no delay of the ship is anticipated. Messrs. W. D. REYNOLDS & BRO., the agents in Norfolk, have been informed that the steamer Proponiis may he expected here by the 10th of February, to load for Liverpool. Each of these vessels has a tonnage of 2000 gross, *nd a ,'ength ovor all of 853 feet. The Peruvian Hill arr; ve here with a part of her cargo on board, from PhUadelphiu, but the Proponiis will probably Home in ballast." A dispatch dated Boston, January ll, Bays: .Governor BoXLOOKisent to the Legiakture 4o }lay a letter received by him. from Governor ORR, #f South Carolina, which contained the following passage : 'I have the honor to acknowledge the iteoeipt of your communication, enclosing a copy cf the resolution? of tho State of Massachusetts, Airecting certain books to be provided and sent to this Stats, in response to my application to you. ?b?S action of the Legislature of your State is gratefully appreciated by South Carolina, and is Vb augury that the ancient fraternal relations be? tween these two original States of the Union are feeing restored. Widely as we have differed in the principles of the Government in the past, let the sscerbities of those differences be buried, and the rutare only unfold a generous rivalry in advancing the interests and promoting the glory of a com jnon oountry.' " Mr. WILLIAM LLOTD GARRISON has addressed a letter to the New York Independent on the subject cf impeaching the President, in which he emulates tbs recent production of WENDELL PHILLIPS in the JLntirSlavery Standard. He closes his letteras follows : "Let this perjured and perfidious occu? pant of the Presidential chair be summarily re? moved and one chosen to fill it who will be true to his country, working harmoniously with Congress In its endeavors to give the same security to liber? ty andjoyalty at the South as is enjoyed at the Jforth, and the safety of the nation will bo placed upon an indestructible foundation. Not to do this .will be the sowing of dragon's teeth, ending in a Jiarvest of blood. The right of impeachment is ?ot only a Constitutional right, but the Constitu? tion itself assumes that it may be an imperative <raty. If AjfDREw JOHNSON has not ?nademmself liable to it, then the phrase 'high crimes and mis? demeanors' becomes a mockery." One of the prettiest of Christmas customs is the Norwegian practice of giving on Christmas jay? dinner to the birds. On Christmas morning every gable, gateway and barn-door is decorated -with a sheaf of corn, fixed on tha top of a long Vole, wherefcom it is intended that the birds BhaD xaake their Christmas dinner. Even the peasants wal contrive to have a handful set by for this pur? pose;- and what the birds do not eat on Christmas day remains for them to finish at their leisure paring the winter.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY i6, 1867. NEWSPAPERS AND ADVERTISING. The "art preservative of all arts" unques? tionably has had a larger agency in bringing about the sum total of modern civilization than all other influences combined. Science, the fine and useful arts, philosophy, literature, politics, religion, all owo their giant strides to the quickening po wer of printer's ink. Too much cannot bc said in credit of an institution that extends its useful, humanizing ramifica? tions into every, even the humblest, sphere of life. That this blessing has sometimes been abused, argues nothing against it. Innocent corn, the very staff of life,-we all know, when brought under the U. S. Internal Revenue guager's rod (called Bourbon then),-is held responsible for the moat heinous crimes on the ponal catalogue. The Bame term in Greek is j used to represent the healing medicine and ! the deadly poison, and in Hebrew the same word is translated both "to bless" and "to curse." lt need surprise no one, therefore, that the Press, like speech and other good gifts of God, has often been, and still daily is, used for very wrong and unworthy purposes. A newspaper article does not afford scope to elaborate so vast a subject, and we can only touch on one or two offshoots from the great and mighty tree. The daily newspaper, to the wisest man even, affords the best school of hu? man nature. The journal is a map of busy life,-all unconscious, though, even the editor himself may be of this department of his paper, from the very nature.of the oase, it must and will be a faithful reflex of the life of those whom it reckons among its readers and sub? scribers. This is the case in the news columns, in the editorial, the literary or the miscellane? ous department, but more emphatically BO in respect to its advertisements. We often hear complaints in regard to the number of these and the great space they occupy in the paper. The dissatisfied should bear in mind that the advertisements aro more read than any other part of the paper; such complaints, therefore, betoken an unbecoming selfishness. The news? paper, like'most of tho institutions of modern civilized society, in a certain measure, is a I joint stock enterprise, in which every member of the community is a shareholder to the ex? tent of his Bubscription or advertising patron? age. To this extent (?ho amount of his .invest? ment) he has a right to a voice in its manage? ment. But it is understood that, in all such undertakings, the stockholder is the "obliged party ;" for by tho arrangement he obtains ad? vantages out of all proportion superior to the consideration he gives in return. It is, there? fore, expected that he should surrender also a part of his rights, or at least of his prejudices, for the accomplishment of the greatest good to the greatest number. The old fable of Jupiter and the countryman, in regard to the weather, illustrates our point. But to return. Wo remarked that thc adver of cotenrfferary life. A single copy of the Pompeii Morning Herald, of thc 24th of August, A. D. 79, published by Messrs. PLINT & Co., would be of more service to the modern archae? ologist to a proper understanding of the every? day life of the people of Southern Italy in the first century, than half the excavations and three-quarters of all tho many huge and learned tomes that have been written in their elucidation. Yet tho world was slow to appreciate the value of this universal "finishing school." Printing was invented in or abeul 1440, and the first newspaper in London was not estab? lished until 1622 ; and even then it took thirty years additional before even a dawn of tho ad? vertising idea broke upon the publisher's mind. In 1662, it is said, the announcement of a book was the first advertisement published in Eng? land. Once the ice broken, however," progress ivas rapid ; and it would amuse our readers, were we to reproduce some of the advertise? ments of the last century, to see that there ivas nearly as much ingenuity displayed then is now in the effort of Y?nders to bring their ?vares to the attention of purchasers. "War? ren's Blacking" and tho "Rejected Addresses" ire among tho best known of the polite advor ;iaements of that period. "We keeps our own joet," was proudly said by the little shoe )lack over a hundred years ago. Certainly as time rolls on, and an insatiate mblic still craves something new, advertisers ind it more andmore difficult to, devise new 'dodges." A literary man or "a poet" is now n the employ of every large advertising mer- J hant. DBAKB, the Plantation Bitters man, it c 3 said, enjoys the services of one of the first \ iterary men of New York to write his adver isements, manufacture parodies, write pretty tories, etc., etc., all winding up with the in vitable S. T.-1860-X. | ? That this advertising costs a great deal of louey, all see and believe. But how it pays, :iat is the question,-one of the most curious roblema certainly in "social science." We ave seen advertisements, published in a large letropolitan daily, costing $1000 for a single ucrtion. Few investments require larger litli, yet few yield larger returns. We know di f manufacturers and dealers in proprietary Fl ledicines in this country who spend over 300,000 per annum in advertising. As this fe yle of business has now been couducted for a umber of years, and usually, too, by very irewd men, it is fair to infer that they must id advertising to their interest, and that they .e satisfied they could not do the same amount ' business without it. Wc know many of our readers will exclaim, Who reads quack medicine advertisements ?" tie answer has already been given. Quite re ?ntly we heard of a little incident ad hoc. lt well known that almanacs have been circu ted by the million for a number of years by 1 the great manufacturers of patent medi- ^ nea. They send large supplies of these lo J cry apothecary in the land. Thc latter usu ly send them out to their customers, or dis? pute them as they find opportunity. A lady me, not long since, to one of these establish- J p. snts: "Have you Blank's Encephaloid Lo? nges?" (or somo equally potent specific). found them so highly recommended in thc "t? inanac you sent me, so I thought I would try ^ em." Wc need not explain that the said al- 'J mac was sent out for this very purpose by r. Blank. I giv If such, then, is the result with patent m?di? tes, the advertisements of which arc always id with more or less of incredulity by intcl ent persons, bow obvious tho advantages of E vcrtising for other branches of business! ere is no species of calling, no branch of in- J 3try, no trade, art, or pursuit in life, that 1 not find advertising profitable. p. ?Ve had intended to give some specimens also -% the infinite variety of styles and humors n played in the advertising columns of newB- JJ pera, but have room only for one or two of SJ 1 nm these. A person who advertised for "compe? tent persons to undertake the sale of a new medicine," adding that "it w?rbe profitable to thc undertaker" came very near the truth by accident. Ile must have been a Frenchman, and entrepreneur being a very respectable word, he had no suspicions of its grave English signifi? cation. Thc future, according to a recent dreamer, bas rich developments in store for advertisers. According to him, the streets and promenades will be filled with young men who shall add to their salaries by weaving placards on thcir'coats and hats. Even the ladies will wear silks stamped with spring openings and great bargains. The following, perhaps, may be considered the f?ll embodiment of tho said dream: KARE OPPORTUNITY I-ONE OF THE MOST BEAU? TIFUL huhes of the city, acknowledged leader of lashion, has unoccupied, and ready to let to advertisers, ono breadth of a magnificent corn-colored silk, worn nearly every afternoon in Broadway, Fifth Avenue or tho Central Park, and at tho opera, balte and solect parties in the evening. Terms reasonablo. Addroas, etc. WHICH is the most indulgent, to sentence a negro to two years hard labor on a farra, for felony, or a white man to two years hard labor in a State prison ? This is the difference be? tween thc treatment of black and white crimi? nals in Maryland which the assumed friends of thc negroes cry out against. It is the white man who should complain. IT IS remarkable, if what the Radicals say respecting the enmity of the Southern people toward the negroes be true, that the celebra? tion of emancipation by the blacks in all the principal Southern cities, on tho 1st instant, did not create the least disturbance. Their processions out of doors and festivities within, wero in no instance obstructed or interfered with by white people. WHY IMPEACH ?-In answer to this question, the New York Post, ft. Radical journal, says : ? We aro glad to see that the House of Repre? sentatives docs not favor the project of im? peaching the President. We should think that he might hail a movement to impeaoh him as a measure which was more' likely to benefit than to hurt him." WANTS.

The work will feed either to tho right or left without stopping the machine. It will Braid, Tuck, Quilt Cord, Hem, Fell, Bind, bather and Stitch on a Ruffle at tbs same time, and do all duds of Stitching required by Families and Manufac urers. It runs easily, and is almost noiseless. It is the most rapid sewer in the world, p^x^g five lUtches to each revolution. It uses the same size threads on both sides of tho abric It oils no dresses, all its machinery being on top of the able. Its tension is self-adjusting, and hence not liable to wreak the thread.
