NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1855. Extract from a desériptive letter from the Hon, Thomas L, Clingman.} Ine letter addressed by the Hon, Thomas [.. Clingman {of the Buncombe district of N.C.) to Professor Henry, of the Smithsonian Institution, the writer gives @ minute ‘escription of his admeasurement, by barometer, of #everal peaks of the Black Mountain range, in the said Buncombe district, the highest of which Professor Henry thas named Clingman’s Peak, in houor of the discoverer. ‘The following is an extract from the letter, which will disclose to the reader some of the most beaulifal of all ‘the beautiful scenery of the great Apalachian range:— From the head of the Swanuonoah, at Mr. Stop) € apangier can find speckled trout, there i Way to the Mountain House, built by Mr. W. n, of Charleston, §.C.

But this Mr. Beals, it feews, is not of that temperament whish generally Cistipguishes men of his advanced years and a religious turn cf mind, and instead of paying the bill, a3 it was his boungen duty, he flew into a passion, geodsly insulted our colléetor, accused us of an outrageous at: tempt to swindle, an { peremptorily ordered the advertise- ment tobe taken immediately out of our paper!

We shall permit neither him nor Mossrs, Beals, Greene & Co. to measure the valve of our advertising columns by any other stendard than that of ovr own choosing; and neither him nor the parties whom he has iegally made the disbursing agents of the government in this business, can cut us down a whitin our charges, nor disparage the character of our paper with impunity.’ Our paper is our property, and whether this Lieutenant can or cannot procure sufficient proposals for the stone work of Minot’s Ledge Jighthouse without our aid, he has no right, especially as a government officer, to treat us in the contemptuous and vulgar and tnsolent manner he bas. We fought long and ardently to place the present government in power, and we have a right to = decency frog the subalterns as well as some con- sideration from thé'superiors 1n office. In order to for- tify ourselves thoroughly in. regard to the correctness and entire propriety of our charge for this paltry adver- tisement, we obtained the price which the Journal—a poper which Lieut.

[From the Boston Advertiser, Nov. 21. } Our literary chronicle for the past week would be sad- ly defective if we omitted to mention a most unaceounta ble proceeding on the part of Messrs. Ticknor & Fields, a publishing house which has hitherto commanded a high reputation, not only for the general excelience of its is- sues, but for the generosity and amity with which sine#s has been conducted. This reputation has re- ceived a very severe blow by the unworthy proceeding which it now Vecomes our duty to describe. About week since, one of our contemporaries (the Daily Evening Travelicr) in. noticing Longfellow's now ceeh, the fog of Hlawaths,” pubhshet hy Messrs Ticknor & Fields, spoke of the work In terms not wholly favorable, although by no means severely depreciatory. Its language was reasonablo and moderate. While saying “We capnot deny that the spirit of poesy breathes throughout the work,” the Tvareller declared, tn con shu- sion, that the poom ‘ contains nothing so precious as the golden time which will be lost in the renling of it.” We do not quote the whole of the Tvarcller's notice, iy to eave space, and partly because we do not think at it ix material to the sul whether the Jravweller warded jnetly the merits of the _ or not.

Ne. We cannot suppose that this letter expresses tue deliberate opinion of the publishers, Itbears every mark of haste. It is dated the same evening that the obnoxious article appeared. A lite time for reflection would have brought wiser counsels. We bope, therefore, that sober second thought may cause if to be disavowed, Thece will he no disgrace in a frank confession that it was a husty act—~while, on the other hand, so long as the publishers maintain their present attitude, not only do they set the Whole press ai delianes, (for what journal will wish their advertisements if they are a livery of bondage’) but by their own wet they subject every favorable notise which any of their publications anywhere may receive, to the imputation cf being dictated by ‘personal foelings” or the lust of gain.—Loston Evening Traveller, Nov, 21. We have copied, in another e>iumn, the remarks of the Daily Adverviser wpon the resent important attempt of Messrs. Ticknor & Fields to gag the press, or to prevent the expresiiun of an honest opinion upon the literary merits of their publication, by withdrawing their advei- tising support from the Traveller. The remarks of the Advertiser are very just; and we juote them, not merely as sustaining us personally in the attitude we have as- in this extraordinary case, but because they constitute a worthy vindication’ of the rights and duties of the pret The effort of Messrs. Ticknor & Fields to overuwe us is by uo means exclusive- y's personol matter. |The Adeertiser well suggests thut their literary chronicle would be sadly defective if they omittted to mention this most unaccountable proceeding, It concerns the public, for every newspaper reader is in- terested in the preservation of the purity of the press. It Ey = concerns the press, and every journal—especially those which might otherwise be exposed to the suspicion of maintaining eilence under such intiwidation as has heen attempted upon us—should, as we conceive, improve the occasion to speak in defence ot the press against eve such unworthy effort to control it by mercenary consi- derations. The Advertiser has spoken nobly for itself and for the general character of a round and wholesome press. We have in a rormer paper, and for similar reasons, qu ted other respectable journals, which have expressed en- tirely concurent opinions on this subject. We take oc- casion to say, in reference to a remark of the Daily Ad- iver, that we have needlessly attempted to fortify our original criticism of Hiawatha “ py collecting and repre- renting whatever we could find of adverse criticasm’’ upon thet poem, that we only quoted the opinions of n f6w re- spcctable Journals, for the purpose of showing our read- ers that we were not singular in our opinion of the work, und therefore furnished to the publishers no justifiable ground for the course they have pursued.

To pr Mang By Stars Oxty.—It will be recollected that by the act of March 3, 1854, requiring the Postage on all letters mot free nent by mail within the United States, and not from or to a for- cign country, to be prepaid; it was also enacted that from end after January 1, 1866, the Postmaster General 1 require postmasiers to place postage stamps upon all je epaid letters upon which such stampa may not have Coen placed by the writers.” We learn that the Post. master General has decided to require postmastess to comply with, and carry into effect, this provision of the law; and, if not already done, to supply thermwelwes with postage stamps accordingly, by xending}their order for them to the Third Assistont Postmaster General. Of course, it is not intended nor expected that this reguia- tion shall throw uy postwasters the labor of atlixing posiage stamps to letters where the writers might, with- out inconvenience, bave dene it tor them: » The main thing fs for postmasters to keep themselves sup- plied with stamps, that all persons having oceasion to tse may readily obtain them.

In the Know Nothing Convention yesterday, the after- noon and evening sessions were entirely devoted to the majority report, which was finally adopted in a vote by States, of 98 to 11. ‘The report characterizes the Missouri Compromise as an infraction of plignied faith, and should be restored, and if the efforts to that end fail in Congress, admission into the Union should be refused to any new State tole- rating slavery, and formed out of territory from which that institution was excluded by the compromise, pro- tests against coalescing with any party that demands the abandonment of the American purty, and recommends a meeting of the delegates at Philadelphia on the 13th of February next. ‘The minority report was sustained chiefly by the Obio and Michigan delegations, but was rejected. It insisted on the exclusion of slavery from the National territory, aud declared that proscription on account of birth place was unwarranted. It recommended the party to act openly, regarded the slavery question ss the paramount issue, recommends river and harbor improvements, and & generous foreign policy. ‘The Convention, after adopting a vote of thanks to ite officers, adjourned sine die at midnight.
