One who had never seen anything of army life could not fail of feeling disappointed upon his first arrival at City Point. It is impossible to convey an accurate im- pression of the place merely by description. Each on@ unconsciously forms a certain pictire in his own mind of how things will look, and what he shall see, which, however it may differ in different individuals, ts certain to be alike in the one point’ of bearing—no resemblance to truth, It is true that the Northern papers have been filled for months with accounts and» descriptions of all prominent points visited by our armies; but the little things that form thedndividuality of ‘a place, and which strike a stranger sooner than anything else are ‘old stories”’ to army correspondents who have lived in camp for months or years, and are rarely seized upon to “point a moral or adorn a tate.” The rapid marching, the stub- born fighting, the dreadful slaughter, the carnago of con- tinued battle and the after horrors of the field and hospi- tal, can alone inspire them to touch the heart or secth the brain of their distant readers, Thiese events follow- ing closely one upon another soon crowd out all lesser considerations, and the constant tendency of army ex- perience is to render correspondents indifferent to the minor details’of surroundings or flovements. ‘NEWSPAPERS IN THR ARMY. City Point for nearly a year presented the appearance of a vast workshop or hive of industry. Its streets and ‘wagon ways were crowded with teams, its wharves and thoroughfares thronged with soldiers and civilians, and semi-annual dividend of seven per cent.

The bi its town plot covered thickly over with tents, huts, booths, and mats of trade, Many branches of mechani- cal industry were represented, art a respectable list of mercantile pursuits prosecuted. But the glories of the place have departed, and as one threads its dingy, dirty wagon ways, or wanders through the deserted head- quarters of General Grant, he fecls all the sentiment of Goldsmith and Moore, without catching their inspiration. An air of dulness is gradually creeping over tho place, that will make it in fact a “deserted village”—a “ban- quet hail deserted.” Its newspaper agency seems to Dattle alone for a longer lease of life. All else seems quietly succumbing. Here, as everywhere else, the newspaper enterprise rans in the ‘van. Of all the civil avocations permitted by tho military authori- ties to accompany or follow in the wake of the army, nono equal in magnitude or importance the sale of papers and periodicals. From the first rallying cry that followed the fall of Fort Sumter, to the present moment, when the Union flag floats over fortified posts in every State of the Union, the armics of the United Stutes have marched from victory to victory with extra cartridges in one pocket and Bxtra Herams in the other, Food for the musket and food for the mind have gone hand in hand throvghout the contest. Commissary ‘and quartermaster trains have pushed after our advancing columns with all the celerity and vigor that the entire resources and appliances of the government could bring to bear; but wagons and pack mules loaded to the earth with the latest dailies have invariably ‘preceded them to the front of the fight, far away in the enemy's country. Well directed individual eaterprise has always out stripped the efforts of government in minor operations, In no particular has the fact been so clearly apparent as in the manner and regularity with which our troops have been supplied with the news of the day. ‘THE ENTIRERISR OF NEWSPAPER AGENTS, For the purpose of illustration, the Army of the Poto- mac will be taken as a sample, and J. M. Lamb, the prin- cipal nowsvendor of that army, as a representative man. In 1861, when it lay in front of Yorktown under General McClellan, a numbor of newsdealers were engaged in supplying daily papers, These were all sent from the offices of publication to Fortress Monroe and thence con- veyed, by transiont boats and government vessels, to Cheeseman’s Landing, which was at that time the base of sipplics in the rear of the army. But government transports were soon found to be too slow and uncertain to be trusted where success depended ou minutes, The rivalry between comp>titors was too keen’to allow hours or days to slip away between shipments. So, notwithstand- ing the ronda were bad and obscure, the country swarm- ing with bands of deaperadocs, and every thicket by the roadside an ambush, the fearless men haying the mat- ter in charge organized a line of wagons and pack mules and transported their papers {rom Fortress Monroe across the country to the flank of the army, in the face of the difficulties and dangers of ths undertaking. At that time Messrs. Lamb, Bohn, Thayer, Kinnéy and perhaps others were engaged in the business. : TAL AGENTS —THE TRIBUNE. Several metropolitan, and not a few provincial papers, finding the army orders for their respective sheets de- clining from day to day, adopted the plan of sending out special agents for the exclusive sale of their own dai- lies, Among these was Mr. Kinney, who tame charged with the heavy responsibility of bolstering up the waning influence and sale of the New York Tiibune. ‘His punishment was greater than he could bear.”’ He straggied for a season with a manfulness de- serving a better fate, but finally sunk a miserable victim of Tribune dead weight and intellectual flatness. With his agency was buried that paper's last hope of army circulation, The tramp of no political Gabriel has ever resurrected it, These gentlemen continued to ply their vocation of giving to the army its intellectual repasts, varying ‘from grave to gay, from lively to severe,” scvording to the humor of t o day and the character of the journals and periodicals distr buted, throughout the memorable cam- Baign p the penins |e, across to Harrison's Landing, and back through Washington city to the upper Potomac, When the army lay in Maryland, beyond Frederick, pack miles were again the modes of conveyance from the nearest point to which transportation could be obtained by rail, About tho time of Sandy Hook being made the base, Clark & Hull opened an ney for newspapers, m addition to the others named, and all followed closely in the wake back to Acquia creek. At this point, Dan, O'Ne 1, of New York city, and Mr. Greg- ory, of Alexandria, Vi., entered the list of competitors, In addition to all these, Mr. Jackson, of Philadelphia, came on as special agent for the Philadelphia Inquirer, and the newspaper trade of the army presented an array of native shrewdness and business talent rarcly exceeded in any single branch of business. MONOPCLIER, Until the accession of General Hooker to the command of the army, permits had been granted to all unobjec- tionable apphoants who desired to engage in the business, Sueh rivalry naturally engendered ill-feeling and pride. Complaints of sharp practice and abuse of privileges be- gan to accumulate against some of the Wealers. Thus encouraged, Mr. George Wilkes, of the Spirit of the Timer, who wos there with the army for the ostensible purpose of corresponding for his paper, conceived and exe uted the idea of using his personal in- fluence with General Hooker to secure the special and exclusive privilege of sopplying ths army with newspa- pers. He enjoyed this franchise for several months to the exclusion of every one ele, with the single excep- tion of Stewart & Brother, special agents for the Wash- ington Chronicle, which paper was understood to have the -ta/us of an administration organ, and to maintain its footing in the fold g the direct interposition of the then Secretary of War. Mr. Wilkes is believed by those famt- liar with h's business to have netted about ten thousand dollars before the combination against him gained suffi- cient strength to break down his monopoly. This little scrap of history may serve to enlighten some minds as to the character and extent of that gentleman's disinterested admiration of General Hooker in those times, and ac. count for his persistence and industry in “blowing Gene- tal Hooker's horn”? on all occasions. THR SUPPLY GIVEN TO THE BEET PIDDEN. Previous to May, 1863, all in the army at ten cents each, the shal General gave notice that the exclusive privilege o plying the army with newspapers would be let o:t to h Adder therefor, and solicited 8 for the same. On the 14th of the month the contract was awarded J. M. Lamb, who agreed to suy the demand at the uniform rate of five cents per and pve $68 20 per day for monthly in advance. Many other ceived then and since, but none were van 8 thun this. The bonus is the Medical Director of the Army of for the use of hospitals, and is expended by him in the procure. ment of such articles of food and delicacies a8 are not furnished by the government. Space forbids am enumer- ation of these or any lengthy reference to the wisdom and beneficience of this disposition of the :and, From June, 1863, to September 1, 1866, Mr. Lamb sup- plied the army at ‘this price, but ‘the t increase in publishers’ rates finally cumpelied him to ask relief by @ | modification of the contract. Having satisfied the mill- by Mr. Lamb to she sot a lighted candle on the floor jaze of the candle coming in contact * with her dress set it on fre, and she was terribly burned op her back, thighs and lege. ict of nevi d jental death, 7 authorities that he had just yrounds for asking re- lief, he was permitted to raixe the price to eight cents for a single paper of fifteen cents for two, At the time of awarding the contract it embraced pe- striction in ories was gut upom these, Not being con- NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, MAY 1, 1865. sidered a n-cessity, the demand was left to their gules In tho outsct the monthlies were sold at twenty- five conts ench; but this has been advanced from time to time until all are sold at Oty. When the army moved from Culpepper at the com- = mencement of Jast year’s campaign against Richmond, Mr. Lamb was notified that he must suspend the sale newspapers tnt] further orders On reaching Cold Her. bor, with a base at Wh 'te House, on the Pamunk y river, the prohib'tion was removed, and his brsiness recels an additional impetus from its temporary suspension, On moving to the James for a base hia supplies wer or- dered from Fort Monroe to Cit in time to meet the army ; but tbe pontoon bridge boats from coming up for several of eighty thousand papers that out before he could reach the ‘Tho concurrent testimony of all + ness is that 1862 was the palmy newspapers.

Early in the war every Union soldier was a news- paper patron. four years of strife thousands in the ranks never BALES, ‘The relative sales of the different leading dailies at different periods since the beginning of the war presents some interesting features,and affords for reflection. In the outset the papers published nearest the location of the army were supposed to contain the latest news, and were patronized accordingly. At a later period it was as- certained that enterprise annihilated time and in the transmission of army news, and that the Washington and Baltimore papers, almost at the door ot the army, were in fact indebted to reprints from New York papers for all that gave them value, ‘When the army lay foiled, but deflant, at Harrison's Landing, the average daily sales were in the neighbor- hood of twenty thousand. Of these not less than eleven thousand were Naw York Heraps—considerably mors than half the entire number of dailies, weeklies and _pictorials, some unexplainable cause the Philadelphia Znquirer at that time atta’ned an army sale of about eight thousand. The New York 7 tbune gloricd in the insignificant circulation of one thousand five hun- dred copies. The New York Zimes was never ordered at all, there never, by any possible accident, being any de- mand for it whatever. * ‘At Brandy Station the circulation of the Hzrsup in- creased immensely, and that of the Washi: Caronicle, from almost nothing at all, ran up to fully five thousand, No other papers were particularly affected in circulation at that time, and the reasons for the increase in these were t to all. The Chronicle could be sold in camp in the afternoon of the day of publication, and was valuable for brie telegraphic news alone. The Hxraup had established such a reputation for early detailed ac. counts of army matters that its reports were considered well nigh official, and considered a necessity to every well in- formed reader. ‘SCALE OF CIRCULATION OF PAPERS IN THE ARMY. From that time until the commencement of the recent mil'tary. Sf oye ending in the evacuation of Peters- burg and Richmond, and the surrender of Lee's — the discrepancy was growil ganiins aly wider. iy the last of March the Heracv attained a circu- lation of 11,000 dailies in the Army of the Potom: the Chrmicle of from 1,000 to 1,500; the Philade' phia Inquirer, 1,600; ‘the Staat: ‘Zeilung (Ger man), 200; the Baltimore American, 500; the New Yor Tribune and New York Times, from 100 to 150 cach, and the New York Wrrid about 60. In addition to these the weeklies and periodicals had the following cir- culations:—Harp-r’s Weekly, 2,000; Leslie's, 2,000; New York ger, 1,600; Lyi Bega Pe ed Monthy, 600 to 800; Aé’antic, 150 to 200; Service Maga~ zine, 100; Continental, 75; Grdey’s and Ballou’s, 50 to 75 each; a few Blackw’od’s and Fdinbrg's, and a small number, perhaps, of other weeklies and monthlies. THE HYRALD IN DEMAND EVERYWHERE. ‘A more complete supremacy was never established than the Hezanp now enjoys in the army. Itis de- manded everywhere, sold everywhere, read everywhere. SCENES AT THR NEWKPAPER STAND AT CITY POINT. On arrival of the boat from Fortress Monroo, bringing Warhington and Baltimore mails, and the New York daily papers, the newspaper stand situated at the foot of the hill, and about one hundred yards from the mat!boat wharf, becomes the prominent and animated feature of City Point. Here congregate all the persona whose oc- cupations make them masters of their own time. Sut- lera from their tents, tradesmen from their places of business, staff officers from difforent headquarters, private Soldiers furloughed and on the way home, con- scripts on their way to the front, officers in from the front on duty or pleasure, convalescents from the hospi- tals, stevedores from the wharves, drivers from scores of teams, civilians and idlers, white and black; men of every rank and walk in life, daily assemblo in quest of the “latest papers,” and elbow, struggle and jam ina common endeavor to be ‘in at the death."’? The crowd equals a first class metropolitan ‘jam’? at the ticket offre of some popular place of amusement, Men struggle ntically into the crowd, gesture wildly to the bewi!- dered salesmen nearest, flourish the necessary “postal” over the heads of thove in advance, obtain a copy of the Heraty with a war map showing the military fl Id of the South, and scramble out with an air of triumphal pride exhibited nowhere else. When the day is fine the crowd is unusually large, or when the news is particularly exciting, after the struggling and selling has gone on for flo, ‘the vend'rs annosnce ‘No more Hrratpe;’” ratps all sold out; “that man took the very last copy of the Heranp;’ but the crowd in the rear either do not or will not understand, and, as they press up to the counter, eagerly “ask. for one, two or thr e copl’s of the Hxratp, and are very in- credutous and dissatisfied when informed for the fifth or sixth tim that not a single copy of the Herato is left, the demand has been so much greater than we expected; very sorry, ought to have come sooner,’ &e, A cr'rions feature of the scene is, that ax long as the supply of Hr- HALPS holds out, every countenance wears an eager, ex- pectant and amiable expression. An observer would say that the world evidently “went well’? with the entire crowd, Laughing, azling and joking, everybody socms pleased with him and with all the world. Those in front seize their papers and endeavor good naturedly to give place to those in the rear, But the instant “no more Henauvs” is heard, smiles disappear, jokes are abandoned, faces elongate, the struggling becomes vicious and ili-natured, humanity is darkeved, and the “wind becomes due cast.” Those in front insist on having “Just one copy of the Hrratn.”” The next in turn repeats the same unnecessary in- quiry. Both stand blocking up the way, growling therr disappointment, veuting their indignat on on “pre- tended newsdealers, who never supply the news;”” re senting the blandishments of the salesman who meekly enty of Inquivers and Chron‘eles,”” and y glowering with passion when somo salesman, of little experience with the moods of a crowd at such times, pertly remarks, “Have a Time: or a T:ib ne—just as good?’ “Damn the Zrmet and the Tribune,” is the certain rejoiner, #8 the angry mon push and elbow de- terminedly out of the crowd. The salesman of greater tact assumes an alr of unparalirled distress the moment he has pocketed the chang: for ‘tho last Her/tp.”” Every fea- ture of his countenance betokens extreme anguish. Every- thing about him is indicative of woe, All nature to him wears a sombre hue, His humility is indescribable. He stands ready to confess to anything under the you will charee him with. TI king of a government vessel with Heratns aboard was his sole and individual He is ready to admit himself the most unmitl- gated wretch on the face of tho carth, and well devcrving the execrations of all mankind for not having “tone more copy of the Herston.’ Nor is his meekness without its reward. fuch unmistakable ‘anguish causes others to relent. They cannot find it in their hearts to add to the su(lerings of so unfortunate a person, Without relaxing sufficiently to ask for a copy of any other paper, they are so far mollitied as to accept it mochanteally when resented with sich aa appealing look, and depart from rong Ln! in meno fi bth ment has fairly spread through the crowd that “the Heravos are out," he jing is at anend, muscles relax, sales fall off, and pen have a breathing spell for ten or fiftcen minutes, Then such as could neither buy, borrow or read the HeraLp over some one else's shoulder, return to the stand with a shamefaced look, and, asking for “a paper,” take what- ever is handed them’ without a question or glance at its title page. fi .
