Several of the Milwaukee Papers appear somewhat grieved because the 'Sentinel' obtained by Telegraph, and published a portion of the President's Message before the Post Master of that city had received orders to deliver it over to the presses. Such jealousies should not exist among the craft. By the Sentinel's enterprise we were enabled to get the Message one day sooner than we otherwise should have done, and by similar exertions on the part of the Sentinel, we usually receive news through its columns, one day earlier than from any other paper from that city. Gentlemen, don't find fault, but go thou and do likewise.
