Tun first number of u newspaper called Tin: Columbian, was Issued at Dtoonisburj;, on Saturday Mny fitli, 1800, with Captain George II. Mooroof asn Ington (previously employed In the Home Journal ofAco nt New York) as publisher. Tho Captain had enlisted In tho ranks of n Xpw "S ork Beginicnt cnrlv in tho war, and had irono through successive, grades of promotion to tho 'rank of Captain. He was n Democrat, but tho paper was established by Union Ilopublicans disposed to support Presi dent Johnson In liU policy of Bccnn struction, and It was announced as an Independent Union Journal, which character It maintained (much to tho disgust of tho Itadlcal Itepublleans) du ring tho remainder of tho year 1800. At the Fall election It supported Judge Klwell for Congress, and contributed to tho magnificent majority of. 1737 which was given him in this county. Captain Mooro, however, as a btranger and without experience in editorial life and literary labor, had no strong position with the pcoplo tho county. His paper was respectable without possess ing large circulation or extensive influ ence. P. John published that its circu lation was 1235, tho actual number being about 50a, as wa shown when n salo of it took place subsequently. But, Capt. Moore, iiad oyv; capital qualification for his place. 'Ho was an excellent work man and understood tho practical busi ness of a printer, nioro perfectly per haps, than any other person cs-er con nected with tiio press in this section, and ho made up a paper which for ar rangement and mechanical execution was much superior to any ono over be fore Issued in tho county. Tho materi als werojudlciously selected, tho work , tipon.it was fairly done, and tho stylo and display of tho matter (particularly tho advertisements) Was uniiiuo and ex cellent. In these same respects wo can' traco manifest Improvements In news papers of our own ami ndjoinlng coun ties suggested by the Colu.mw an or lie rled from it. At tho end of 1800 tho materials of tho paper wcro purchased by Colonel Frcczo from tho proprietors, for tho sum of two thousand dollars, and a now paper organized under his man agement, tho first number of which was issued January 1th, 1807. Tho pur chase money was shortly afterwards fully paid and nil claims of tho former owners finally extinguished. No better namo for tho now paper appearing, tho namo of tho former ono was assumed or continued, and it'istprobably tho .best ono that could bo'selccted for, this par ticular location, Tho funds necessary ttfntil Colonel F.

But most-oftiroTsums iBO contributed havo8lnco"becn repaidi-f' Tho Important or salient points in tho career of this Journal slnco January nro these : 1. Tho introduction of Captain Brock way as assistant Publisher and Editor, with a leading pecuniary interest in tho paper. 2. Tho purchaso of a Steam Engine, Power Press and materials, at a cost of two thousand four hundred and fifty Hollars. 3. A largo inereasu of subscriptions ana advertising. To these Is now to bo added : 1. Tho enlargement of tho paper to a first class wzo at the end of hlx months imbllcation. It lias been tho object of tho publish ers, hitherto, not so much to make profit ns to securo ti strong and durable post tion fur their Journal and to secure It by proper mean. Theso means arc open to public observation and may be frankly avowed. They are dlllgcpt labor, enterprise, faithful conduct and liberal expenditure. Tho publishers have believed ami now beliovo that tlieso aro elements, of success entirely sufficient for their purpose, and they feel no Incli nation to resort to other expedients which aro Improper. Ileneo their eol umns aro not to bo stained by filthy ad vcrtlsoiuents,or by Jealous depreciation of rivals, or assaults upon private elu sions, or low appeals to party passion or conscious fiiMllcatlun of papain events.

This may bo attributed iffceat mea sure to the fact that theWBPes for tho defenco havo not yet been exam ined. The court-room is crowded each day, and an early attendanco at its doors Is necessary to securo a desirable position. Much comment has been In dulgcd in as regards tho delay in open ing tho trial, but tho censuro of parties extends no farther than to that of the prosecution. There is not much ques tion that the prisoner has tho sympathy of the populaco hero, as well as else whore. This is not to be attributed, lowever, to sympathy for tho deed in which ho is held hero as a participator, but to a firm belief in tho innocence of his mother, Mrs. Surratt, which, by r natural sequuncc, Is extended In a men sure to tho son.

Arriving near the summit we observed In tho distance what amiearcil tobeafortlfieatlon. Our first Impression was that this must bo the Eort that Gen.

Arriving at tho summit wo observed a curiosity in tho division of a small stream, ono portion of it running north east into Bowman's Crcek,emptyliig In to tho Susquehanna ncarTunkhnnuock; the other running south discharging Its waters in the same river near Blooms- burg. Descending tho mountain and arriving at the stream noted for its speckled beauties, wo seated ourselves upon tho green sward and partook or bomo refreshments, our appetites hav ing been shnrpened by crossing tho mountain, commenced fishing at 12 M., and fished until G iM.,when wo began to think about encamping for the night Luckily, we camo to a bark cabin, tho work of former sportsmen ; wo collect ed wood and commenced cleaning Ash, and found by counting our trout that they numbered Just four luuulcd. I was assigned the ofilco of cook, having had somo experience in tho art, during my sojourn in ono of Undo Abo's Bas tiles. After faring sumptuously we col looted a supply of hemlock twigs for bedding and turned in for the night ; it was a lonely evening, no sound in all tho vast forest by which wo were sur rounded save tho hum of tho mosquito or an occasional hoot of tho owl. Soon wo wcrcintho embrace of nature's s;rect restorer. It seemed but a moment un til tholiglit rays of tliosun wcro stream ing In through tho denso forest, and the lively notes of tlio forest birds reminded us it was timo to commenco tho opera tions of tho day. I resumed my duty of cooking fish, tho balanco of tho party catching thorn faster than I could cook them.
