PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, JUNE 29, 1860,
FRIDAY JUNE 29. 1860.
London 1 Newspapers.—The MorNing
Chronicle
Some regret, but no surprise, wIH fcVi'
awakened in the minds of newspaper men;u
acqnalnted with English journalism, by-the !
following announcement t r I
OattDAitv or A Newspaper.—-The pnblleatlon
of one of tho oldest newspapers printed in the Eng-'
l!«k langaags Is about (o be' dleeootlnn.fi It 13
annnunend that the Interest in the laiutonßlornirig'
Chronicle was purchased some time Blnoe by ih*.
proprietor of the Morning Vast. The Chronicle
, will be Issued, as u.ual, until the Ist of Augurt,
aftor that date it will cease to appear, t his fotellN
1 genee will not surprise any ona who Is acquainted
with the eztraordtoery progress made by the oheap
press in Oreat Britain within the last few years.
One onuld. wish, howovor, that the Morning
Chronicle had not been the first victim to thtt ag
gressive spirit of progress. There ore ea>Oolatiene
connooted with that jonrnet of no little interest. It
was in the Morning Chronicle that Sir Philip
Francis-or somebody else—under n well-preserved
lQooguUo, to tho world tha Junius Lettera,
tho fame of which has not been confined to those
oountries'where the EogHsh language is spoken. I
Before proceeding to sketch the hlsfbtl Of
tho Morning Chronicle, wo take leave to dojrflt
the accuracy of tho statement in thtt latter
part.of tlio foregoing paragraph. Tho Morn
ing Chronicle was not established until 1 , the
middle of 17C9, whereas the first Lpttprof
Junius ia dated January 21, : 1769, and [was
published, not in the Chronicle, which ttraj not.
then in being, but in the Public Mvtrtisfr, in
which appeared all the succeeding communi
cations from the samo powerful pen. Tile fact
that Mr. W oodfull, the printer of the Public Jd
verlicer, was also founder, proprietor, and edi
tor of the Morning Chronicle, may have ipd.to
the mistuko.
The Chronicle, which has long been at the
fopt of all the morning papers of Lpndpn, at
one lime enjoyed an influence nnd circtiln.
,tion which vied with The Timet itself. It
is the oldest of tho daily journals, having'
been established in 1769. Its first editor was
Woodfall, (the hold printer of tho letters of
Junius,) tho first man to give eorrect reports
Of the debates in Parliament. Mr. 'Jemos
Perry, an intelligent and industrious Stotch.
man, having succeeded In purchasing The
Chronicle, became its sole editor, and conduct,
ed it so ably that Pitt and Lord Shelbnrno, to
obtain his influence, offered to bring hfm into
Parliament. But he was a consistent Whig,
and declined aiding the Tories—for which he
was twice prdsepitted by the Government,
blit acquitted,‘acting as his own coungak
Perry had yery chivalrous notion's respect
ing his position. .He held, himself per
.sonnlly accountable for every line in his
paper, oven,, though inserted, without. hU
previous knowledge. Nor even yhen he
flad published incorrect statomentAwould he
give up the writers’ paipej. if waa /u’j duty,
he said, to have examined into them. Ho once
fought q dnei with a party who wnatdered him
self aggrieved by some statement ip ttio -Uara'a)-
cte, rajtber than surrender tho writer’s name,
though he (Perry) had never seen the Qb
je.otad-io and objectionable paragraph untit he
read it in the paper. Do argued “If the per
sons whom I employ write or insert improper
articles, I must not say that they did it. -Ihw
stood in my place—each Is my alter ego-en ad
I am tho responsible party. I can' dismiss
them, if they do wrong—bnt the party ag.
grieved clearly ought to have redress.firotri me,
the responsible party, and not front thpm.’’- Rq
realized a large fortune, lived oh equal tdfms
with the lcadem of the Whig party, and was
trusted with all their secrets and schemes.
Qls paper had immenso ioflnenoe; but’the
sale, at the highest, wot not whjlo he,
lived.. By the way, Tavistock House,-near Rus-
long theresiilence of Oh tries Dick
ens, (bnt gtvon up by himSvithin the last two
months.) was built by Mr. Porryi on adot of
ground presented to him by the late fjuie of
Bedford, father of Lord John Bussell.
Poring Perry’s proprietorship), several of
Thomas Moore’s satirical poems appeared ia
tho Chronicle. For example, sever*} ofl tho
jeux d'tipril which were subsequently collect
ed into “ 1 ho Two penny Post Bag” a* wejl as
the severe lines on tlie Death of Spencer Per
civsi, the Lines on the Death of Sheridan, and
the laughable *< Epistle from Totp Crib to Big
Ben,” (the Prince Itcgent), on tho foul play
involved in tho English treatment of Napoleon
after Waterloo.
Perry died in 1821, and two years later tho
copyright and plant of the Morning Chronicle
was sold to Mr. William Clements for over
£40,000. Mr. John Black, who had been Per
ry’s sub-editor from 1817, and had conducted
tho paper in the interval between his death
and the sale, was literally included in tho pur
chase—the bargain being that Black should
continue editor, no matter into whose ‘hands
tho paper should fall. Dnring the eleven
years of Mr. Clement’s proprietorship, he
never meddled with Black—tho very dullest
of editors, whose delight was to introduco into
his leaders long extracts from tho musty wri
tings of obsenre scholiasts and politicians
of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries I
ÜbfonciedJjirasclf philosophical, and was sim
ply heavy.
John Black, a self-educated Scotchman of
considerable classical attainments,—master,
also, of Gorman and French, —was 27 years old
before ho went to London, to net as reporter
on a newspaper. Ferry, who always gave a
helping hand "to his countrymon, gavo him a
situation among his parliamentary corps, and
soon promoted him to tho sub-editorship of the
Chronicle. Black retired in 1843, and died in
1865, his political and literary friends having
subscribed sufficient to purchase a respecfablo
annuity for him, one of them even making him
a present of a pleasant cottage on his estate, in
Kent.
Black was author of a Lifo of Tasso, and
translated the Lectures, bythobrothevsSchle
gel, on Dramatic Art and Literature j and, also,
those on the History of Literature, Ancient
and Modern, As a newspaper writer he was
drony and heavy, with a long-winded effort to
be philosophical. Tedious, diffuse, dreary,
leaden, and lifeless were Mr. Black’s editorials.
Albany Fonblanqne, afterwards of the
Examiner, occasionally wrote.smart "articles
for The Chronicle j, but-‘Black’s dullness ever
sat like an incubus on the paper.
Early In 1831, Mr. John Easthope, a Lon
don stock broker, bought The Chronicle, at a
fourth of what Mr. Clements had paid (hr it,
Lord Durham, Mr. Ellice, (brother-in-law of
tho lato Earl Groy,) and others, wore said to
have Joined with him in tho purchase. A
great push was made to throw lifo Into tho
journal t clever writers were introduced, and,
in November, 1834, when The Times suddenly
became Tory, The Chronicle took its piaco a®
organ of tho Liberal party. Tho result was
that it soon reached a daily sale of 10,000.
But 7he Times gradually resumed its leader
ship! Easthopo got a baronetcy as reward
for his partisanship, and obtained for Andrew
Doyle, hia son-in-law, (who had become edi
tor in 1843, on .the retirement of Black, Dr.
Charles Mackay being retained as snb-editor,)
tho permunont appointment of Inspector tinder
the Poor Law Board, with a salary ot £l,OOO
a year.
Sir John Easthopo then sold the paper to
the “ Toung England” party, and tho «tali’’
of tliol’eelite section, which then included Mr.
Gladstone, tho present Chancellor of the Ex
chequer. For several years The Chronicle
has Fuseyito in theology, and very much
«on its own hook” in politics. Ono of tho
rich family of tho Hopes has written for it,
very largely and dully, and Mr. Cooke, tho
editor, had a difficult task in makingtho paper
readable. Its foreign correspondence, which
was extremely good, was a redeeming foature
almost to tho lost,
From the hands of tho Pnseyitea, the Chro
nicle passed for a short time, into those of Sir
Samnel Morton Fcto, the rich contractor, who
had paid £4,000 for the copyright, typo, press
es, and prumis s on which it is printed, with a
view of making it tho organ ot the Dissenting
interest, with which be is connected. Next,
the Chronicle became the property of Cardinal
lFlseman,, who only retained it lor a short
time,, employing Mr. Sergeant Glover as its
editor—or rather as its manager. Glover,
Son 8t the noted fish-hook maker in Lime
rick, was a jovial Irishman, a member of
the English bar, and nevor had held - three
briefs in the ooimo of his professional
career. ' Ho had a fine person,' a genial it*;

“ "We, the jury, find that the deceased came to her

The Ben Lewis was built at St. Lou's three
years ago by Captain Thos. H. Brierly, at a cost of

care, and was considered by atearahoetmon and
g«nd judges one of the safest orafts afloat Her
boilers were made of strong thren eighth-inch iron,
which is of extra tbipkness, The engineer, Mr.
McGinnis,- was one of the jno3t efficient of his pro

the time. The boat was valued at a 15 000. was owned
by the Memphis and St Louis lbicket Company,

Captain J. Holmes Nnnaon, who is reported
among tho lost, was a young man and & high-toned

Tnfc Indian Difficulties in California.—
A correspondent of the Marjtiville (California)
National Democrat saya •
, Almost eleven years have I now been in our
blessed California, and daring that time I have
seen several Indian diffioultfes, and it is with pro*
found shame and disgust that I am forced to ac
knowledge that in every case, without an oxeep.
tlon, the white mnn was the aggressor. In the me
morable year of MO, on the north fork of tho Ame
rican rive?. I saw n “ Piker” deliberately shoot a
squaw dead who was sitting on tho brink of the
river perfectly peaceable fTpon being asked for
his reason for committing such a tragedy, his an
swer was that he “ was not going b*»cfc to old Mis
souri without killing bis Indian.” The Indians at
that time wero perfectly rv|fb us; but that
sumo evening two men were shot with arrows—one
of whom died—and tho next evening four wore
shot. [I would hero remark that wo nod nothing
but fonts to live in at that time, and it being oar
austom to k&VG ft fire by our camp door, they ooold
plainly seo us by tho fight of tho fire, whereas it
was impossible for us to seo thorn out in the dark.]
The Qonsrquenoe was that every man on'the
river became involved In a four weeks' war la

In 1832, there was not a single oase of either in
Allentown. In passing through it, the stranger's
attention is arreuted by numerous substantial old
mansions occupied by citizens of wealth and posi
tion. There are at present ten churches in thp
place, some of wblah are beautiful modern edifices
There are also published in it,including several
religions periodicals, ten papers, are,
weekly. Of these three only are secular, on# Ge{-»
man, and two English. The discovery of iron ore.
in the county, .and the excellent means of
portation afforded by the Lehigh Navigation Com
pany, and the railroads, have contributed largely
to the industrial interests and wealth of Allentown
and the adjacent settlements. There are here at!
the present time, .end within a radius of fiver
miles, no less than twelve furnaces in operation,-
and three more in course of erection. A large
rolling mill is also being built, and a ohaln factory
is contemplated.
There are four railroads In active operation with
in the county: the Lehigh Valley Railroad, run-'
ning from I’sston to Mauch Chunk, a distance of
forty-seven miles; the Bast Pennsylvania road.'
from Allentown to Reading—length, thirty-six
miles; one from o*ta*anqaa to FogeTsrille,'{bur
teen miles; and tho fronton road, running from the;
town of Irontou, and intersecting the Lehigh Yal«
ley road, five miles above Allentown.
In accordance with my usual programme on ea»,
terlng a new place for the first time, I immediately,
after registering my name at the hotel, set ont’ for
the highest attainable point, in order to obtain the
best visual dagnorreolype of the toirrt and Its enri
row, and proceeded next to tjjV ‘oldest bury tv g
ground, which I found located In thasombwes'ern •
part of the borough. It Ib b densely populated
homo of the dead, but, apparently, uncared-for —
the tombstones being, in their fan
tastic attitudes, as profoundly oblivious to the pro'
priety of geometrio arrangement as Mr. Dickens* 1
goblins are indifferent to graveyard docorum,in
his story of Qabriel Gtub It required but a fif
teen-minutes tour among the tombs to settle be
yond a doubt tbo question of nationality of the
early settlers of Alfentows. The pioneers of this
region wore mainly German, and, to this day, the
German element in Pennsylvania nowhere presents
a better type of itself than among the respectable
and thrifty farmers of the Lehigh Talley.
Almost everybody yem meet bore, from prefer
ence, speaks tfco German, shockingly Pennayl*
vantanlsed it is trno, although there are few, espe
cially among the younger portion, who do not con
verse in English. Ono cause of the comparatively
neglected condition of the old burying ground
above referred to, is doubtless attributable to the
Innovation of modern c a meteries. The largest of
these is located on.a beautiful slope, a short dis
tanoe from town. Another very neaf, though much
loss extorsive cemetory, ts located In close proximity
to the German Methodist church. Upon entering
this I found two women engapod in Taking bay,
(the gentler sex are not altogether Above field em
ployments in tin* part of our State ;) nud rightly
conjecturing her vernacular, 1 addressed a few
questions to ope of them—the most matronly-look
ing of the two—whioh wore duly, and so I may say
politely answered. Thinking, however, that it
would bo disoonrteons to a stranger to
leave him do all tho question-asking, she
showed a disposition to extand the conversation by
asking, “What might bo zny name?” Having
myself initiated this impromptu speaking ac
quaintance, I oould not evade so plain a question,
and. therefore, without hesitation, told the good
woman, not what my name might be, but what it
was, giviog her tho German letters of it at the
timo, in order that there might be no mistake.
With evident surprise, she asserted, in all so'
rtousness, that she had roason to know that alt of
that family were dead! yes, and hurled in that
same cemetery, and thou, inquiring whether I
coaid JBnghsdi lese?i, (read Eogliah,) she invited
me to accompany hep to the spot where wo were all
interred! True enough, there lay a long line,
sufficient to exhaust any moderate-sized family, all |
of the same nams, but as much to my relief, as it |
was to her disappointment, tho name was a different I
one altogether. I will not do the kind woman the
injustice to suppose that sho was mortiflod to see
me above ground, but her very direct comment,
“ Du kastj'i kein graueu hart” left tho matter
rather dubious in my own mind as to whother she
was convinced,that I had given her my name cor- 1
rootiy. !
The meridian san becoming rather oppressive, t
1 sauntered on towards my lodgings, entering the-;
open vestibule of the Methodist church already re
ferred to, on my way, where, in a neatly-printed
card, headed u ß*geftt Dtescr Kircke” {rules of
this church,) I road, among others, the following
excellent regulations, whioh I here transcribe for
the benefit of certain young men in your oity who
have tho bad taste to make church fronts a loiter
ing plaoo daring hoars of worship, and so forth :
“ All persons desiring to worship with us are
requested cot to stand in front of tho chnroh, nor
In the vestibule, but to enter and qulokly take
tholr seats.” Furthermore, “The filthy praotioe
of spitting tobacco juice upon the fioor, wheroby
clothing may be stained and injured, is also pro
hibited.”
I must not omit to state that of late Allentown
has become a popular place for Philadelphians te
visit during tho summer months. Its situation
and healthful character entitle it to an increase of
this olass of patronege. Accommodations for tra
vellers and sojourners are not wanting. The Ame
rican Hqtel, oonductcd by Messrs. Beohtel &
Itfgony, is one of tlio largest and best-kept hotels
in tho oountry, and I am suro that Philadelphians
will subserve their interests by maintaining a
closer intimacy with this important section of oar
interior. But of this more tmon.
Tho American Volunteer, published at Car
lisle, Pa., and edited by John B E-q ,
postmaster at that place, has also hoisted tho
Douglas flag. It says: .
“ \Ye have plaocd tho names of Dangles and
Johnson »t the head of our ooluznns in accordance
with our own ‘ctions and predileotioos, and in

wishes of/wtry large majority of tbo Democrats
of this p&nty. We regard them the regularly no
minated Democratic b&ndidates of tho party, and,
at saoh, entitled to the support of the party ”
The Easlon (Pa ) Atgus, ediied by Wo. H.

TnE Pike’s Peak Gold Mines.—A corre
spondent of the Boston Journal , writing from
Pike’s Peak, under the date of June 13, says:
“ The mountains in all directions are swarming
with people; and Denver is growing almost tike
the palace of Aladdin. A year ago, it consisted of
a few log cabins; had a population of fire or six
hundred, and did not contain a single frame build
ing. Now, it boasts upward of four thousand resi
dents; many spaolous frame edifices are oompleted;
a number of three story brick stores are com
menced ; one daily and two weekly newspapers are
published; great hotels are in operation, crowded
with guests; stage lines are established to tbe dif
ferent mines; and an enormous amount of building
is going on, far exceeding that In Loaveuworth
dunng the spring of 1857, and unequalled since the
< flush times,’ in the early days of Ban Francisco
and Sacramento.
. “ Notwithstanding all these improvements, mo
ney is 1 tight,’ and thero is an unmistakable feel
ing of disappointment among tbe Denver mer
chants that trade is dull, and gold dust not circu
lating as freely as was anticipated. They account
for it plausibly on tbo ground that the immigrants
of this spring have carried provisions enough into
the mountains to supply the miners for two or three
months, and predict that after these supplies aro
exhausted, and all the quartz crushers here and on
the way are put in operation, trade will be brisk
and dust Abundant in the towns. There are not
more than eight or ten quartz mills running, but
the number here and on the load will not fall far
short of one hundred. That they will turn o,t
enormous quantities of gold before fall there is no
room to doubt.
“ Mining for this season has not yet fairly com
menced, but the reports from the diggings are in
feneral excellent. It is difficult in many oases to
now exactly how truthful they aro, as they are
sometimes started or exaggerated by olaim specu
lators One, which arrived yesterday, I believe,
after diligent Inquiry, to he reliable, however ex
travagant it Seems Dr Peck, of Denver, just in
from the ‘California Gulch/on the head waters
of the Arkansas, west of the bouth Fork, says he
.mw two men takeout $lOO with ftroker in ore
day; two others, $273 43 in tho same time; and
still Another miner, $217 in a single day. Ho
states that there are Several claims in the violnity
which pay from ten cents to one dollar to the pan.
We have another account from the same gulch *f,
four miners who in two days took out $1 600.
There is muoh speculation, and claims are selling
fiom $l,OOO to $lO 000 I shall start on a tour
through tbe mines in a few days, and will endea
vor to pAint them exaotly as I find them. Mean
while, it la but jnst to reiterate that I believe many
of the reports In olroulation to he greatly exagge
rated.”

I have not the least doubt as to the possibility of
