LLW. Jl! I SMto.of. 4btbi^ SATURDAY, --TpEC. 80TH, 1805. L. M. HAVERSTICK,)' H. C. LONGNECKER. \ Editors. J. B. LONGNECKER,) £ New Year, “Ther’s a new foot on the floor, my friend, And a new face at the door, niy friend, A new( face at the door." We present our Readers with a Half-Sheet this week, owing to the Holiday season. Printers, like other people, need a little recreation at the end of a Year’s confinement and steady work in the office. They enjoy the usual festivities of such an occasion much as other people do. In many places Country papers do not issue at all in Holiday week. We give our Readers a Half v Sheet, freighting it with our best wishes for a Happy New Year, and for many recurring New Year days. Laws of Newspapers. We call the attention of Post Masters and Readers to the following points, which have been settled by the Courts of the land : 1. Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary are considered as wishing to con tinue their subscriptions. 2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of their papers, the publishers may'Continue to send them till all that is due be paid. 3. If subscribers refuse or neglect to take their papers from the office to which they are directed, they are held responsible till they have settled their bill and ordered their paper discontinued. 4. If subscribers move to other places without informing the publisher, and the paper is sent to the former direction, they are held responsible. 5. Refusing to take a paper from the office, or removing and leaving it uncalled, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud. . 6. A postmaster neglecting-to inform the pub lishers when a paper is not taken from the office, makes himself liable for the subscription price. Printers* Ink. The great essential in modern business enter prise is Printers' Ink. No general business can flourish long without it. With extraordinary facilities or uncommon business qualities, some men do manage to rub along for a while, but it is up-hill work. It is like trying to haul a hea~y load without greasing your wagon, or running a steam engine with one of its piston-rods bro ken. Look at the establishments which thrive best, do the heaviest business, make -the most money and always have an ‘air of healthy activi ty about them, are they not always those which use Pi inters’ Ink most freely ? And why is it that old and well-known busi ness Aims, a few tears ago in the noon tide of prosperity, are to-day lingering sadly around their deserted stores, with cobwebs spun * actoss the corhers and the dust gathering thick on their shelves ? They didn't know the value of Printer's Ink. Other men, with le3s acquaint ance and probably less business knowledge, opened stores near them, and by a judicious use of the world’s great enlightner, sapped their trade under their very eyes. And whait Public Sales thronghont the County draw (TfHargest crowds, have the readiest buy ers and bring the best prices ? ask the auction eers. They will answer, those that have been subjected to the largest amount of Printer’s Ink. Who sells his Farm for the highest price and on the best terms ? He who sends Ten or Twenty Dollars to the Printer, to be expended in the all powerful fluid. And while we arc on this subject, let us ask a few more questions. Who, of all your acquaintances, do yon most like to converse with—who can give you the best information of what is going on in the world—where and for what people are fighting— how they build ships, make roads, manufacture goods, till the fields, cure diseases, —how they treat Rebels in this country or that—how they re-construct States, punish crimiuals and do a " thousand things we might mention ? The man who takes the Papers. Who do yo ask about the markets—the lest place to buy aud sell—the price of gold :—Who, on election day, do you consult before you de posit your vote ; —who has the happiest family circle—the most intelligent wife—the mostinter esting children ? The man who takes the Papers. Who is the most valuable member of your community—who has the best chance for office —who is foremost in every public charity-most highly respected while living and most deeply mourned when dead.? The man who takes the Papers. Bear these things in mind, now that a New Year is ju3t opening. And when yon talk of "hard times” and of curtailing your expenses, remember that it is the poorest sort of economy to begin by cutting off your County paper. An investment of Two Dollars at the Union office, will be paid back to von in weekly instalments of Printers’ Ink, worth more to you and your family than ten times the original amount. Progress of Restoration. The good work goes rapidly and successfully forward under the wise plan of President John son. The provisional governments of Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, South and North Carolina and Mississippi have been withdrawn, and the constitutional governments of those States are in unobstructed operation. The provisional gover nor of Florida will also be ordered to surrender his authority to the legally constituted govern ment of that State when the legislature meets and acts, if not liefore. In Florida and Texas only the president now maintains the provision al government. The government of the latter has not been reorganized, aud consequently the provisional government is retained. As Asctgsr Prophecy.—lu regard to the day on which the festival of Christmas falls this year, the following old prophecy, is of interest: If Christmas day on Monday be, A great winter that year you’ll see. And full of winds both loud and shrill; But in the Summer, truth to tell, Stern winds shall there be and strong, Full of tempest and lasting long; While battles they shall multiply, And great plenty of beasts shall die; He shall be found that stealeth aught, Though thou be sick thou diest not. Are we to have a great war, and does the last line hut two, refer to the cattle plague now gweepi ng over Europe? Which is Cheapest ? Whiskey at Five Dollars a gallon, or the Balti more County Union at Two Dollais a year ? Tobacco at Two Dollars per pound, or the Union for Two Dollars a year ? Whivh will "pay” the best ? Togpend Five Dollars in a night’s frolic, or Two Dollars for the Union f To save Two Dollars a year in needless luxury *nd extravagance, or the same amount by with drawing your subscription to the Union t Thk Hour Weekly, published at Philadelphia, . by Ge. W. Childs, is one of the best and roost entertaining family newspapers within our knowledge The best authors Of the country write for it, making up a weekly sheet of rare at traction’. ’ A new story by Marion Harland, be gins with the New Year. $2.00 a year, ar two copies for $3.00; eight copies for SIO.OO. Or sixteen copiesdor S2O, and one to the getter-up of the Club. The Presidential Policy. When Mr. Lincoln was nominated for the Presidency, there were not a few £ood men of his qw,n party wha felt painfully anxious for iftfe country ; they had not known much of that truly great man; they knuw h* w.u proverbially "honest,” and that was something at such a pe riod ; but they lelt that the nation neede i the best possible talent as well as ch trader for its impending crises. When he tell glorious in tuar dyrdotn, all such men felt that the right man had been in the right place; that perhaps no other public character could have been found equally fitted for the tremendous crisis which we bad anticipated with so much misgiving respect ing him, but had passed with so much success chiefly through his honest wisdom and prudent policy. God we all felt, had directed us in the ballotingß of 1860. We have passed through a similar experience respecting President Johnson. We admired bis heroic loyalty and resolute administration in Tennessee during the war, but few if any of us would have chosen him as the fitting man for the Presidency, though we chose him,, with such a result contingent, to the Vice-Presidency.— The very qualities .which seemed to fit him for the gubernatorial control of Tennessee, amid military agitation and peril, seemed to unfit him for the more deliberate and solemn duties of the National Presidency. His occasional speeches, about the time of the close'of the war, where not a little inflammatory; they smacked of a fierce resentment which his own sufferings from the rebellion might excuse, but which could not consist with the dispassionate wisdom and politi cal moderation necessary to tIF supreme execu tive in the process of "reconstruction.” At the very crisis which most demanded such wisdom and moderation, he was suddenly thrust into the presidential seat. There were few thoughtful citizens that did not contemplate that event with solicitade. All eyes were at once concentrated intentionally upon him—all looked, from day to day, for some startling demonstration of the apparently passionate energy of the man. This energy has indeed been demonstrated, but not with passion. On the contrary this emphatic antf demonstrative man is now more criticised for his moderation and caution, not to say compla cency towards the rebels, than for anything else. Is there a special divine providence rn his case, as we found there was in that of Abraham Lin coln? Is God indeed in an extraordinary man nerdirecting oar national destiny? Are we verifying the old doctrine that “there is a spirit in man, and the inspiration of the Almighty gifeth him understanding?” We are fully prepared to answer these questions, but we are much inclined to an affirmative reply. A few further developments of the man and his policy seem probable when these occur we shall be able to respond conclusively. If we mistake not, they place Andrew Johnson in the front rank of statesmanship.— Methodist. News Items. Hon. Lewis D. Campbell, formerly a member of Congress from Ohio, has been apgoiuted Min ister to Mexico, in place of Gen. Logan, who de clined. Gen. W. T. Sherman, the victor, and Gen. Jos. E. Johnson ; the vanquished, are both stop ping at the same hotel in Nashville, Tenn. not long since. In Anne Arundel county Md , the Union party have nominated Hon. George W.

Morris, died at the same place only a few weeks ago. Christmas day was celebrated in the city by an unusually large number of arrests for drunk enness, fighting, Ac. Capt. Senimes, commander of the Rebel pirate Alabama, is under arrest and will lie tried by court-martial, for violating the laws of war He claims the protection of the parole granted by Gen. Sherman to the forced under Gen. Johnson. Sec. Stanton has ordered, that the ground up on which the Fort Pillow massacre occurred, shall be set apart for the,erection of a monument to the troops who fell there. Fenianism is about ending up in a grand row. A quarrel has occurred among the leaders as to the disposition of large sums of money collected from the poor Irish to "free” their country. Six men were suffocated by gas in a Chicago hotel on Saturday night last. A riot occurred at AlelexaudriaVa., on Christ mas day, between whites and negroes, and sever al of each are reported to have been shot. The Chairman of the South Carolina delega tion to the President, declares his belief that' emancipation has already increased the self-re spect of the negroes ; and many very prominent planters, hitherto successful in their business, are of opinion that the negroes, if properly paid and well-treated, will work under the new sys tem. Sinning and Sorrowing.— We wish to call es pecial and particular attention to the admirable book for the young, just issued from the press of J. G. Garrigues & Co., publishers of the Sunday- School Times. The work is very highly com mended by different journals, all over the coun try, as will be seen by reference to their adver tisement in another column. (Etountti Matts.

Aocident.—On Christmas day, Charles, a son of Gideon Herbert, Warden of the Jail, aged about ten years, shot off the index finger o* his right hand. He was trying to fire off the pistol with his le't hand, but the trigger pulled too hard to steady the weapon, he put up his right hand to aid passing it in front ot the muzzle, when it suddenly went off, discharging the con tents into his fingerT Dr. Jarrett, amputated the finger. Boys of his size and age are entirely too voting and inexperienced to handle firearms, and it is almost miraculous that moie accidents of this kind do not occur in Towsontown, It-is the height of a bor *8 ambition to own a pistol, a weapon which in the hands of careless boys, is daugeroas alike to the owner and to those a round him. We hope this may prove a war ning to parents to exercise their authority in preventing their boys from tampering with fire* er, v. t • 1 Christmas in Towsontow n, passed off pleasant ly and quietly, JThe hoys kept up their usual fu sillade of tire guns, pistols Ac., and made heavy dratts on the cake and candy estab lislvm nls al '‘Ut ;i. The little girls wepre sume staved iu doors and dressed their dulls or ; ffrad their story books-and all united in blessing fbeiiberal generosity of Santa Claus, Hod the kind recollections of friends. Ulder people had their pleasure in seeing the little folks so happy, and in the "creature comforts’’ with which their side boards and tables were so bounteously loaded. There was a general interchange of hospitality and good feeling, aud everybody seemed to im bibe (with other potatiohs) the sentiment of the old song, ".So never mind the weather But get over double trouble, And let us all be merry once again." Egg nogg, apple toddy and hot punch, took the rebut of government caily in the morning and maintained undisputed sway until late at night. On thewhole, it was a good, ld fashioned Christmas, and iu spite of the heavy drains on pocket books, every body seemed to rejoice that Christmas does coma "once a year.” Orphan’s Court. —The following business was transacted on Wednesday last : Ordered, that Elizabeth Myers, widow and ad ministratrix of Myers, be authorized to take a certain leasehold property at the appraisement. Letters of administration with the will annexed, were granted to Geo. M. Gill, on the estate of the late Thomas C. North, of N. Carolina. The sale of tjie Real estate of Jno.

Correction.—ln our accoiyit last week of the supper tit the Smedley House, on the occasion of Mr. Van Bokkelen’s Lecture, we neglected to B‘Hte that the toast—Music—was very happily • responded to by Prof. Oldershaw of Baltimore.
