Tbe Petersburg Progress 01 last week
contains another one of those double lead
ed tirades of very poor billingsgate lan
guage, devoted to tbe editor of Ibis paper.
During a long aeries or years In which we
have been connected with tbe newspaper
business, we have never yet bad occasion to
belittle ourselves la the eyes of the public
by resorting to that peculiar atyle of litera
ture adopted by tbe Progress in abusing a
brother editor. We have presented argu
ments aad facta In answer to those present
ed by tbe editor of that paper, asing mod
erate and gentlemanly language In connec
tion therewith. So far it la well enough,
bat when tbe highly learned editor of that
beet descends from a fair discussion of facts
relative to the oil business, to personally
abusing ns In vltaperttlve language, we beg
leave to quit tbe field. Tbe Progress can
make all the capital It oan by suoh a course
and la welcome to It
We might add that there la a form of skin
diss are, always annoying but never danger
ous. I Mercurial ointment Is the care. It is
just bo with journalism. There la a form
that exhibits only an Itch tar writing,. being
aimless and harmless. Brains would per
haps effect a euro.

subject en our exohaoge last. A specimen
eopy ean be seen at this offioe.

Citizen.
We bare made inqulrlei and cannot learn
that any such club baa been formed In our
mldit. A Grant and Wilton club bai been
organized; also, a Greeley and Brown club.
In the ranks of both clubs are a large Dum
ber gallant Midlers, who fnugbt for the old
flag the atare and alrlpee on many a blood
stained field, and who can exhibit honora
ble scars earned while in the service. We
would like to have the Citizen throw some
light on the subject aa to what this so-called
Confederate Club Is. If it allude to the
soldiers it appears to us like a wicked slan
der on brave in-n. Mm may differ In their
Polltloal. beliefs, but honorable opponents
will bever resn to applying vile epithets to
one another, even In the midst of heated
political dlscm-slon. Will the Citizen give
a Hal of the Confederate club members?

Total dally production on August 1st was
3,443, being an increase oi ninety-four bar-

there will be a considerable Increase during
