Chanoe in the Carlisle Herald. The Herald of last week, in a short ed itorial, gives notice that J. M. Wallace, Esq., for the last three years its junior editor and business manager, has retired from the concern. The Rev. O. L. Had dock, of Philadelphia, takes his place.— Mr. Wallace walks outot the office sub rosa, without a word of explanation, and we are therefore in the dark as to the cause of the dissolution. It is with sincere regret that we part with Mr. Wallace. During the three years or more of bis connection with the Herald, bis rare social qualities and affa ble manners secured a large share of pa tronage to the establishment, and hosts of friends to himself.- He was a very decided partisan, but yet be never permitted his politics to interfere with his friendships. We therefore wish him God-speed in whatever calling be may hereafter engage in. To the new firm we extend the hand of fellowship, wishing It success in eve rything except Radical principles.
