PRESS OF ROCHESTER.
THE NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHMENTS.
This is the twelfth year since the establishment of a daily newspaper in Rochester, the event having taken place in 1826. That enterprise was the first experiment of a diurnal print west of Albany. The novelty of the thing-of a daily publication emanating from a place that was sud- denly emerging from the woods-occasioned much remark, not only through the United States, but in Europe. It contributed essentially to render the importance of the place well and quickly known; as the fact that business and prospects were deemed sufficiently encouraging to justify the enterprise was in itself a strong practical argument respect- ing the growing value of the then village of Rochester.
This first daily paper, for a second sprung up soon after, was pub- lished by Luther Tucker, and edited for several years by Henry O'Reilly. It was called the Rochester Daily Advertiser. Connected with it is a weekly paper called the "Rochester Republican." Thomas W. Flagg is the present editor.
The second daily print, started soon after, was styled the "Rochester Telegraph," published by Weed and Martin-Thurlow Weed being then editor. Mr. Weed was elected twice to the Assembly, and finally established in Albany as editor of the Evening Journal. Mr. Martin sold the Telegraph to Luther Tucker, by whom it was merged in the Daily Advertiser establishment. Mr. Martin died lately in Albany-he was formerly one of the proprietors of the Albany Daily Advertiser.
Another daily paper, in lieu of the Telegraph, was soon afterward started by Shepard and Strong-George Dawson has since become connected with the press, and is now the editor. The paper is called the " Rochester Daily Democrat," and has attached a weekly print.
These daily papers had to struggle with considerable difficulties for some time. The business, which would have handsomely sustained one, yielded for a while scant sustenance for two. However, the fact that both of the daily newspaper establishments have so long weathered the storm, coupled with the present aspect of their advertising columns and the brightening prospects of the city, justifies the belief that both can be permanently sustained with fair prospects of adequate reward in future for toil which few can properly appreciate who are unacquainted with the routine of a daily morning newspaper establishment.
The first weekly newspaper established in Rochester was com- menced in 1816 by Dauby and Sheldon. It was called the " Roches- ter Gazette."* This gazette was afterward called the Rochester Re- publican, and published for some years by Derick and Levi W. Sib- ley. Frederic Whittlesey and Edwin Scrantom followed them in the publication ; and in 1827 the establishment was sold to the publisher of the Daily Advertiser, in connexion with which print the Republican has ever since been issued. Messrs. Whittlesey and Derick Sibley have since served several years as representatives, the first in Congress and the last in the State Legislature,
* Soon after its establishment Mr. Dauby removed to Utica, of which place he has been postmaster for several years.

SKETCHES OF ROCHESTER, ETC.
The second weekly newspaper was established by Everard Peck and Co. in 1818. It was called the Rochester Telegraph-the same which was converted into a daily paper in 1827 by Weed and Martin, as above mentioned.
The Rochester Album, published by Elihu F. Marshall, and the Craftsman, published by E. J. Roberts, existed for a few years. The first was merged in the Telegraph, and the latter ceased after some abortive efforts by Mr. Roberts to establish a daily paper in connexion with his concern.
The publications of the City of Rochester now are-
The Rochester Daily Advertiser, with a weekly adjunct called the Rochester Republican-Luther Tucker, publisher-Thomas W. Flagg, editor.
The Rochester Daily Democrat, with a weekly paper called the Rochester Democrat-Shepherd, Strong, and Dawson, publishers- George Dawson, Jr., editor.
The Genesee Farmer, weekly and monthly-edited by Luther Tuck- er, assisted by Willis Gaylord and John Thomas, of Onondaga county.
The Rochester Gem, quarto, published semi-monthly from the office of the " Democrat."
The Rochester Pearl, quarto, published semi-monthly by F. Grant Norton.
We cannot neglect the opportunity to express our hearty satisfaction at the now widespread circulation of the " Genesee Farmer" through the Union and the Canadas. The concurring testimonials of many of the most intelligent men in various sections of the land render us con- fident that we will be cordially sustained by multitudes in expressing the belief that a print never existed that was better suited to elevate the condition of the great agricultural interest. The establishment was for some years a doubtful experiment. Its receipts yielded a very in- adequate return for the labour requisite to its sustenance-without con- sidering the intellectual ability which distinguished its course. The persevering spirit of Mr. Tucker-the zeal with which he has struggled through great difficulties in sustaining the enterprise, are worthy of the reward which an intelligent people rarely fail to bestow on well-di- rected efforts for the improvement of society.
The versatile talents of Willis Gaylord, of Otisco, Onondaga, coupled with the ability of David and John Thomas and Dan Bradley, of the same county, have contributed largely to the success of the Genesee Farmer. Those gentlemen are and have been for years among the principal con- tributors to its columns ; and we may add here, that, among the many spirited correspondents, Lewis F. Allen, of Buffalo, should be named for his exertions to encourage agricultural improvement, not only by his practice at home, but by his writings through the Genesee Farmer, and by his efforts in the Legislature, of which he is now a member.
If those men may be considered public benefactors who " cause two. blades of grass to grow where but one grew before," these remarks may not be considered inappropriate when speaking of the contributors to such a print as the "Genesee Farmer."

MILITARY.
Our military annals are, luckily, not remarkably eventful. The only movement of a belligerent nature among our people was that when " the thirty-three," constituting the whole arms-bearing population of Roch- ester in 1814, hurried down to the junction of the Genesee and Onta- rio to unite with the few neighbouring militia in repelling the British fleet. The rolls for 1838 show the names of the following
Officers whose headquarters are in Rochester.
Major-General Abner Hubbard, 23d division, comprising the 46th and 33d brigades of infantry. Staff: Lieut. Col. Johnson I. Robins, Division Inspector ; Alexis Ward, Judge Advocate ; Lewis K. Faulkner, Division Surgeon ; Major Wm. E. Lathrop, Aiddecamp ; Wm. Chur- chill, Aiddecamp ; Heman Loomis, Paymaster.

Brigadier-General Hestor L. Stevens, 46th brigade, comprising one battalion of cavalry and six regiments of infantry. Staff : Major Joseph Medbery, Brigade Inspector ; E. Darwin Smith, Judge Advocate ; E. Peshine Smith, Aiddecamp; Captain Hiram Leonard, Quartermaster ; Samuel Richardson, Paymaster ; Surgeon, J. H. Van Every.

FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Although the city has been unusually exempt from the ravages of fire, the organization of the fire department has been generally well sustained. There are six first-rate fire engines, manufactured by Selye's valuable establishment in this city ; with four companies of hook and ladder, hose, axeinen, &c. The great increase of the place, however, requires that still greater care should be taken in hav- ing a larger supply of engines, and all well manned ; though, in justice to the present companies, it should be stated that the fire department, as regards both men and apparatus, need not shrink from comparison with that of any other city of similar size. Hydraulions are connected with the machinery in some factories ; which, worked by water power, have already rendered signal service in preventing the spread of fire in their vicinity. There need be no lack of water for preventing confla- gration in any part of the city so long as the Genesee River and Erie Canal run through Rochester, south, north, east, and west.

The " Firemen's Benevolent Association"
Is accumulating a considerable fund to provide relief for disabled fire- men or their families. The mammoth cheese presented to the city corporation by Col. Meachain, of Oswego county, in 1835, was sold in pieces at auction for the purpose of aiding this association, and the proceeds amounted to several hundred dollars. This was the first im- portant donation.

Fires in the City of Rochester .- 1835, 1836, 1837.
The following table of fires where the engines were used has been politely furnished by Mr. Wm. Myers, sexton of the city.
1835. Jan. 5, the great Methodist Church (rebuilt). Feb. 8, Hill & Bates's mill, now E. W. Scrantom's, damaged. Feb. 15, O. Sage's barn, &c. May 14, one of Pease's houses, Cornhill. June 30, Moore's store on the main bridge. July 23, S. O. Smith's dryhouse. Aug. 2, Lewis Selye's furnace. Aug. 13, Judge Chapin's barn. Nov. 3, Judge Chapin's barn. [The burning of these barns were among the most daring acts of incendiarism known in this city, if not the only palpable ones in its history. ] Nov. 16, a house on Brown Square. Nov. 16, at Graves's tannery. So that there were but eleven fires in 1835; and of these, the heaviest losses were by the burning of the church, of Selye's furnace, and of Moore's store.
1836. Feb. 6, Lewis Selye's engine-shop : loss considerable. July 13, Child's marble block, warehouses, &c., between the Rochester House and the river : loss heavy. Oct. 4, Lyon's diehouse at their woollen factory. Only three fires requiring the use of engines in 1836 ! This exemption from fire is both remarkable and gratifying, and reflects much credit on the firewardens of the city, as well as on the general carefulness of the citizens.
1837. Feb. 16, Howard's grocery, South St. Paul's-street. March 4, Warren's house, North Clinton-street. March 5, Parmelee's cooper- shop, Buffalo-street. March 17, F. Whittlesey's dwelling, St. Paul's- street. March 30, Selye's engine-shop and Lyon's cloth factory. This was the second time Selye's shop was burnt. Lyon's factory was an excellent establishment, and had just been sold to other persons. April 5, Sol. Hunt's dwelling, North-street. April 26, J. T. Talman's house, Exchange-street, let to Mrs. Goff. June 11, an extensive fire corner of Front and Main streets, destroying buildings owned or occu- pied by Barton, Bancker & Avery, M. Parsons & Co., J. Graves, N. T. Rochester, near the northwest corner of the main bridge across the river. June 18, the Globe Buildings, second time, by which numerous machine- shops were destroyed, and many men thrown out of employment tem- porarily. July 9, Bartholic's chemical laboratory, Exchange-street. July 24, Smith's carpet factory, near the Middle Falls. July 27, Curry's blacksmith shop, Exchange-street. Oct. 4, Hydraulic buildings, Be- mish's mill, the oil-mill of Perrin, Barton & Guild's edge-tool factory, H. W. Stager's edge-tool factory, Gilbert's rifle factory, the turning shops of Graves & Kilbourn, and of Richardson and Lee, with various other mechanics' shops. The fire was with difficulty prevented from spreading to Strong's City Mills, &c. Oct. 6, Stroup and Robins's joiner-shop, River Alley. Little damage was sustained by fire during the winter of 1837-8.

ROCHESTER POSTOFFICE.
The history of the Rochester Postoffice furnishes some singular inci- dents illustrative of the progress of improvement in the city and sur- rounding country. It is characteristic of the business and intelligence of the citizens.
The postoffice was established when a village was first projected and named Rochester. This was in 1812, when Abelard Reynolds was ap- pointed postmaster. At that period the mail was weekly carried through these parts from Canandaigua-the mailcarrier being occasionally a wo- man, who performed the duty on horseback. This latter circumstance occasioned some waggery from the only lawyer then located hereabout (JOHN MASTICK), whose demand for letters was frequently preceded by an inquiry if the fe-male had arrived. The "spoils" of the postoffice could not have been very enormous at that time, as the whole receipts for postage in the first quarter fell short of three dollars and fifty cents. As late as 1815 one of our present citizens had authority to designate the location of postoffices wherever he would agree to deliver the mail once a week for all the postage which he might collect in nearly all the country between Canandaigua and the Niagara River, and from the Canandaigua and Buffalo road northward to the shores of Lake Ontario ! The tract liberally allotted for the above mail arrangement is about 25 or 30 miles wide and 100 miles long, including now the populous coun- ties of Monroe, Orleans, and Niagara, with such flourishing towns as Rochester, Lockport, Albion, Brockport, Pittsford, Scottsville, &c. No regular postroute was established through Rochester till within twenty years-as it was not till 1816 that Congress, on motion of Gen. Micah Brooks, directed the proper committee to " inquire into the expediency of establishing a mailroute from Canandaigua to Lewiston by way of the village of Rochester."
The gross receipts of the Rochester postoffice averaged about $4000 per quarter during the year 1837. Something of a contrast between this sum and the $3 42 produced by the office for the first quarter after its establishment in 1812. Such is one of the vast changes effected in a single quarter century ! The postoffice business places Rochester third among the cities of the Empire State.
It is proper to add that the postage accruing here is not occasioned or swelled by any income from the distributing business, as this is not what is termed a " distributing office."
John B. Elwood, appointed as the successor of Mr. Reynolds in the postoffice in July, 1829, has held the appointment to the present time,

1838. Dr. Elwood was reappointed last year for a term of four years ; but lately sent in his resignation, to take effect from the close of the current quarter, 30th June. No appointment had been made to fill the vacancy when these pages were printed.
A. K. Amsden is the principal assistant in the office, aided by A. M. Fish and two or three other clerks.
Mails Leaving Rochester by Stages and Railroads in 1838.
A mail daily eastward through Canandaigua, departing at 4 A.M. Another on same route, leaving Rochester at 2 P.M.
Another mail daily eastward through Palmyra, 4 P.M.
One daily mail west on the Ridge-Road to Lewiston, at 8 A. M. One daily mail west to Buffalo on the Tonnewanta Railroad, &c. The mail closes at Rochester at 8 A.M. and railroad cars start in win- ter at 9 A.M. ; in summer twice a day, 8 A.M. and 3 P.M.
One daily mail south through Genesee, at 8 A.M.
One daily mail south through Scottsville and Caledonia, at 8 A.M. One daily mail to Oswego, &c., at 4 A.M.
Besides these, there are stages and mails for several of the neighbour- ing towns.
CANAL TRADE AT ROCHESTER.
Nowhere west of the Hudson is the annual receipt of canal toll so large as at the City of Rochester. Such is the extent to which our cit- izens are interested in the canal navigation, that the Rochester for- warders have a larger proportion of stock in the transportation lines than the people of any other city in the state-indeed, it is asserted that they own or control about one half of the whole amount of stock in those lines.
Well might the editor of the Encyclopedia Americana declare (even in 1831, since which our citizens have become still more largely inter- ested in the canal trade) that the great number of " boats built, equipped, and owned principally at Rochester, make it the seat of the transpor- tation business, and the various trades connected with it-giving em- ployment to numerous extensive boat-building establishments," &c. " The superior white oak and pine lumber here, with its central location at the turning point of water-conveyance between the West, New-York, and Montreal, confer these peculiar advantages on Rochester."-Ency- clopædia Americana, vol. xi., p. 54.
The enlargement of the Erie Canal will have an immense effect in enlarging the connexions of the people of Rochester with the trans- portation business and the boat-building, and other trades connected therewith. The construction of the Genesee Valley Canal, now spir- itedly commenced, must have also a powerful effect in increasing the prosperity of the city in like manner.
Jas. Smith, Esq., of West Mendon, who in 1836 was canal collector here, furnished the following statement of the property received or ship- ped by the Erie Canal from Rochester (the commerce by Lake Onta- rio and Genesee River is elsewhere mentioned). Although in 1836, as in 1837, the influence of short crops and pecuniary pressure prevented such extensive flouring operations as would have otherwise taken place with the increased milling power, the export of our staple commodity

amounted to about 370,000 barrels by the canal alone, exclusive of shipments by the lake and supplies for the surrounding country. The table is interesting as showing not merely the quantities, but the quali- ties of freight which arrived and departed at Rochester by the Erie Canal.
