Tinsley, for many years identified with the press of Richmond--first on the Evening Bulletin, a paper published there many years ago; then for a long term, ending with the war, on the Dispatch, of which paper he was news editor. He has accepted a congenial position upon the New York Daily News, and bade adieu to Richmond and his old friends, for his new post, on Monday night.

The Romans pursued this "grand idea" "bodily, watchfully, and with unfaltering purpose," for eight hundred years, during the course of which they conquered and enslaved all the countries that lie between Cadiz and the Indus. That great asserter of liberty, Julius C
