The War upon Newspaper.

Philadelphia, Aug. 20.
--The Jeffersonian office, in Westchester, has been demolished by Lincoln mob.

Ambrose L Kimball, the editor of the Sussex (N. J.) Democrat, was forcibly taken from his house last night, and tarred and feather and ridden on a rail. After suffering for a long time, Mr. Kimball was compelled to humble himself on his knees and take the following oath: ‘"I am sorry that I have published what I have, and I promise that I will never again publish articles against the North, or in favor of Secession. So help me God."’
