Daxoibous Coe*Ti*r*ii.—Mr. Wittae
mark, of B. A. Shepherd's office, has call-
ed oar.attention to a dangerous counterfeit
ten dollar bill on the Louisiana State Bank.
The bin purports to be of the Branch of the
Louisiana State Baal, Second Municipality,
letter C. the marks by which this bill can
be best detected sro as followsThe en-
graved back grounds of the 10 in the upper
corners do not show the fine net-work lines
of the true bilL la the vignette of the gen-
uine the fignres are beautifully distinct and
the hair lines finely drawn.' In the flag held
by the* female the stars, though scarcely
perceptible are finely done. In the spuri-
ous this whole picture is badly done, hawing''
mors the appearance of a wood cut than a
steel engraving. In the genuiae between
the words "State" and VBank" there is a
single flourish. In the other the spaoe is
blank. The body of the flourish over the
"LooL" of Louisiana is over the "on" in
the other it is over the "L" and is a very
different flourish from the true bill, as are
all the other flourishes on the bill. On the
•oonterfeit the drapery of the female figure
en the lowe^Mt hand comer is very coarse
indeed, as different from thl engraving
ef a genuine bill a* a spelling book
picture is from a fine rat.
| The eyes ia all the figures are bad. The
imprint of Sawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edson
New York aad 2T. O^has no commas in the
spurious, while ia the ganiline it is punc-
tuated. The baok of th genuine bill is al-
eo well engraved, and ehows in every ptrt
of it beautiful net-work designs, while in
the spurious Ami*is no sign of net work in
the* whole bill. The spurious bill is near a
quarter'of an inoh longer than the genuiae.
There are various other narks by whioh this
bill may be detected, but we have indicated
enough without calling attention to them.—
Yet it is a dangsroos bin,, and well eatea-
lated to deeievo anybody. Look out for it.
THE CASS COUNTY IRON.
We mentioned the other day that>s bo* of
this iron ore had been, sent as by a friend
at Jefferson. It ha* since come to hand
aad we are glad to eay has ever then real-
ised our expectations. It is a very rich ore
indeed, the specimens w| have varying'
from SO to 80 per ^fu. We also received a
bar of the iron, wbieh we took to one of the
beee blacksmiths in this eity, who after tri.
al pronounced it equal to the very be |
Tennessee iron that is bronghttc this mar
tost. The manufacture is yet on a compar-
atively small scale. We estreat the follow-
ing description or it tarnished by the pro
prietors,J L Nash & Cj, to the Marshal Re-
publican. The sunufacture is by the
"Blumary" process with aaCttUn forge.
The works are sitaated eighteen miles we*<
of Jefferson, and twenty eiz or twenty-eighi
miles North-West of Marehai, in the South
west earner of Case county aad very neat
the Harrison county line. At and surround
ing the "works," are a number of elevated
broken ridgee of hills, a-proximatiag tin
elevation and dignity of mountains, upon
and in which ia one ot the moat striking de-
posites of iron ore known in the Mississip-
pi Tulley. The quantity is doubtless inex-
haustible, the quality exceedingly rich, fret
from deltoerioue substances,.sott, well adap.
ed to the manufacture of "wrought" and
"oast" Iron, and easily aoceoaibla. Bur
rounding the mountains and for many milet
adjacent thereto, is a splendid'Pine JToreet,
adording material for * vast amount of Iht
best fuel with which "Iron ore" can b
worked. The "forge" ia, comparatively, a
simple construction, consisting of open Area
for working the ore, blast -machinery anu
two German forge hammers for welding up,
and drawing the iron in! o bars, the poWei
employ ed ia two steam engines driven by
Steam made chiefly by the waste heat of the
forge flres. The proeeea is an old one and
likewise simple, the ore after being wel.
• roaated is beaten to dust by stamen, run-
ning with the machinery aad by the forge-
man used in this form upon his flree, hU
judgment and skill alone directing him at
to time and quantity, ia itsapplicatin. The
fuel used in these fires is charcoal. From
three to four hours are sufficient to form,
in the bottom of the fires, an open porous
mass of Iron, celled a "loup," and weigh-
ing from 100 to 160 pounds. This reeuiu
from the particles of Iron having an affini-
ty for eaclt other and coming readily to-
gether under the influence of a heat suffi-
cient to weld them into a masa, while the
foreign matter in combination becoming
liquid at a tower heat is drawn off as liquiu
• sag or sinder. The loop is taken out weld-
ing hot, with the liquid cinder dripping
from it, and under the forge hammer weld-
ed into a solid lump, and thed drawn into
bars. The four fires we are now ruuniog,
are competent to make, with cold blast,
about 1U00 pounds of Iron per day. The
blast heated (by any apparatus in common
use) greatly basteus the process and econo-
mises in fuel. Having thoroughly teeted
the practicability of making Iron of superi-
or quality from our ore, and eetabluhed
tUe certainty of every question upon which
there could be doubt as to making really
good Iron at a reasonable cost, it is oar pres-
ent purpose to add the neceesary machinery
to increase the business, and put our Iron
into the various forms neceesary to meet
(he waste of the country. Nothing but capi-
tal aad effort will be necessary to maka the
business all that may be desired, both to
the public and to the manufacturer. _ We
shall endeaver to have the works in position
during the year, to furnish the Iron want-
ed in this country.
LATEST NEWS. ' ^
The Island City from Galveston reached
her landing on Tuesday morning about 7
'o'clock. She brought up a State's mail. By
the kindness of the attentive agent of Bed-
ding k Co.'s Reliable Expreqp- we have files
of New Orleans papers np to Snnday morn-
ing. By the Canada which teft Liverpool
on the 10th, and reached Halifax on the
28rd, we have three days later adviees from
the Other side of the water. The further
advance in cotton will give general satisfac-
tion, while, as usual, we give a full synop-

solved to extend the organisation, as its
prospects were encouraging. Large insur-
ance policies were opened for dispatch of
specie to America. Stocks drooping in the
London Share market. Money abundant.
The Liverpool Cotton market wasencour-
aging. The sales on the 10th inst, (day the
Canada sailed) were 6000 bales. Quotations
The market is reported to have olosed heav-
ier on Saturday. The news' by the North
American which left Portland on the 27th
ult., which arrived out before the Canada
sailed, had no effect on the market.
Manchester trade quiet.
The Havre cotton market reports busi-
neee unchanged. Sales of the week 7000
bales. Stock on hand 154,000.
Liverpool news of the 10th, reports the
ship Weiier of New Orleans for Liverpool,
ashore near Dublin. Probably, a total loss.
Crew saved.
English fillibustere had established
themselves at one of the Spice Islands, but

TEXAS ITEMS.
COAL IN TEXAS.
The Telegraph contains in a recen
number, Dr. Francis Moore's report upon
the coal beds near Fort Belknap. '■>' Much
disappointment and some incredulity has
been expreesed at the result of his exami-
nation.
f would take occasion to add my feeble
testimony to. Dr. Moore's, not because his
veracity or his knowledge of Geological
matters requires an endorser, but to aid,
so far as 1 may. in arreeting an unfounded
expectation, calculated to mislead and do
mischief.
A specimen of this coal was furnished
me, by Governor Pease, to whom it was
brought from the Fort Belknap vicinity, by
persons who believed it to be from mines 01
great value.
It is unquestionably a Lignite, and ob-
tained from some Tertiary or Cretaceous
bed, in which true Coal has never been
found.
The specimen I examined has, however
mueb more resemolance to Coal, such as it
found about the Spadsa Bluffs, in Arkan-
sas for example then Lignites generally ex-
hibit. It breaks with a shining fracture,
has lost all trace of vegetable fiore and is
almost granular, so smuil are the fragment*
into which it breaks, on exposure to tlfe
air.
To any one acqnainted with any of the
real coals. The weight would be a suffi-
cient test, even- in the dark. While coals
vary in specific character from 2 to 3, this
coal is little heavier than water. V
Still I should think that mines yielding
this Lignite, in abundance as pure as the
specimens I have seen, would have some lo-
cal value. I have seen Lignites inferior to
this, used in smith-shops, with a pretty ac-
tive blast, and mixed with charcoal. How-
ever, Lignites have but little value any
where, and would not be extensively used,
if equal to the Belknap coals, where fuel is
abundant and easy of access.
Very Respectfnlly,
C. G. FORSHEY.
Texas Military Institute, April 22, 1858.
The Republican says there was no frost
at Marshall on the 13th.
The Reporter gives the whole amount of
cotton received at Richmond last week at
532 bales.
The Reporter says that two of the cars
of the B. B. B. & C. Road accidentally got
loose at the inclined plane this side the riv-
er on Tuesday last and went down with a
rash into the Brazos. There was 80 bait s
of eotton inall together with a lot of hide?.
The cotton was saved, the hides were lost.
The editor himself of the RejJbrter has
got home and made an article on judicial
.nominations. Wo see no argument in it at
all. We note however the following sen-
tence:
From abundant and conclnsive evidence,
we are forced to believe that, so far from
endeavoring to effe. t disunion in the Demo-
cratic ranks, the call was made upon Judge
Bell with an honeBt desire to subserve the
public welfare, irrespective of party or per-
sonal or political prejudice against the nom-
inee.
From abundant and conclusive we are
forced into the belief that the call was made
upon Judge Bell, 1st. by those personal
friends of his who desired most, of all lii>
own advancement, 2d by those lawyers 01
his District who were actuated by a wish
to make more room for their own Ambition.
If Judge Bell goes on the Supreme Bench
some lawyer ef the 1st District having a
large practice will step into his shoeB.-and
leave his business to others, so that the
advancement of Bell will be of some advan-
tage to several, 3d by those democrats who
having a prejudice, against the nominee
of tha Convention perhaps well, and per-
haps ill founded; cannot endure the thought
of hia^leetum. 4fh hv thn nt tha
who are willing to move heaven and earth
to make a breach into the organization of our
party, as the only chance of their evei
gaining power,—drowning men will catch
.at straws—and 5th of those who are honest-
ly "opposed to judicial nominations, from
policy or principle, and are acting from an
honest desire to serve their country. All
together make tip about, two filths of the
votes of the State as the thing now stands.
We also cut the following from the editors
article:
We should like to be made acquainted
with the logic by which these rigid adhe-
rents to party, right or wrong, denounce
Seward and his coadjutors, as heterodox in
political faith, for making war upon the in-
dependent judiciary of the Federal Govern-
ment, and at the samo time consider those
orthodox who attack the independence of a
State Judiciary.
We should like to know what the Report
er means. If there is any body exactly in
his category just now it is Seward and h:g
coadjutors, who are dsnouneinj a Democratic
judiciary, became that judiciary hat dared to
ttand by the Corutitution. Those men whom
Seward makes war upon, neighbor, are
democrats, and were put in their position
by democrats, in order that the Constitution
might be interprited as democrats require it
to be done, ty striot construction.
The Reporter has an original way of local
itemizing. Here's a piece.
Our good townspeople, the present week,
Tho' generally demure and meek,
Have been unusually frisky—
Perhaps 'twas caused by the air of spring,
High reeding, and all that sort of thing;
Perhaps it may have been caused by whis-
key.
Like lambs, whioh at each other run,
Either in wantonness or fun.
Or else to try each other's mettle,
Most valiantly they squared away,
Till the Mayor bad a word to say,
Inviting ttiem to call and settle their bil ,
of costs, but we don't know the exac.
amount. What was the figure, Atkins ?
Tlje Advertiser classes the Galveston
News and the Richmond Reporter as Domo
cratic papers. They are not usually callei
by that name.—Telegraph.
No matter what they are called so long a-
their principles are endorsed by the peo
pie.—'Reporter.
"Principles," think you say. We nevei
heard it call by that name before.
>
Under the head of "Cashing vis-a-vis'
the Reporter publishes two extracts from
the Telegraph of different dates.which mean
preoisly the same thing.
The Waco Democrat eays that ho less
than two thousand head of cattle had cross-
ed the Brazos at that point since its previ-
ous issue.
The Democrat says there was a slight
frost at Waco on the night of the 13th. Ii
did no damage. . Seasonable rains have
fallen and fanners are in extra spirits.
The Demoorat says that the Wacos are
luxuriating on green peas and Irish pota-
toee.
The Marshall Republican gives its receipt
for the week ending April ,17th, at $373,
which is a tolerable good weeks business for
a country paper.
"Discipulis" a correspondent of the Re-
publican his changed .hfs mathematical
question so that it reads, ' 'To describe a cir-
ole, the regular inscribed triangle (equilat-
eral) of whioh shall have its sides of a given
length." A mere mechanical solution ol
this question is, upon the line given, as a
base lay of^a triangle each of the other aides
of which make an angle of 30 0 with the
base line. The angle st which they join
will be 120 s. Those sides will be of equal
length and will be the radius 6f your cir-
cle. Geometrically to find the length ol
those sides you have the length of one sidi
of a triangle given, and all the angles. Tin
sidee of a plain triangle are proportional to
tha sines of their opposite angles. Calling
the line given, then, X, your statement will
be as follows:—Sin 120°: Sin 30°: :X:
required radiue of the circle. Is Discipuli?
satisfied?
The San Antonio Daily nerald, is quite a
large and spirited paper, and would do cred-
it to any city.
The Herald says that the last San Diego
mail arrived at' San Antonio on the 18th
inst. in twenty-five days, being six days in-
side of schedule time. The mail brings
accounts of Indian depredations on the El
Paso road, and westwards.
The Herald hears of a heavy, hail storm
on the 18th at Fredricksburg, accompanied
by considerable rain.
The Herald learns that the prospect for a
good corn crop on the Medina was never
better.
\
The (ftarksville Satndard says thatin Cook
county there has been abundance of rains
Wheat is promising. Population increas
ing very fast, and the new population is o
a very superior class.
The Austin Gazette says that the crop-
about there are reported as being in a fint
condition, and the planters as everywhere
else, rejoicing in their prospects.
The Seguin Journal says the grasshop
pers are nowdying in great numbers io thai
neighborhood. There appears to be a worn,
in their carcasses, which turns to a fly. Ii
is our opinion, looking «t them at this dis
tance, and through the medium of the news
papers, that the fly will turn to eggs am.
the eggs to grashoppers again. It is liki
the catscradle, which the children, some-
times make with a string on their fingers. 11
s first one thing, aud then another, but ii
iurns oat invsribly acatscradle at last.
The Belton Independent says that the
grup worms are making great haroj w.th
the gardens there. Replanting had to be
resorted to.
The Independent says there was no frost
ia Bali eouaty, during last severe &sruw>
It learns thdt there was a slight frost in tie
neighborhood of Lampasas.
The Independent has been shown some
fine specimens of wool grown in Bell couuty-
The Independent has ascertained the el-
ect amount of wheat sown in Bell county,
this year. It is 5,717 acres, which, at 2t
bushels to the acre, the average of Texn>
lands, wiirmake 114,340 bushels. The In
dependent says that if one-th'ird of the croj
should by any means be cut off, there would
still be 75,DUO busjiels. This will mate
15,000 bbla. of flour, and will feed 10,00t
persons on a pinch. It seems that a worm
(the wenvil perhaps) is attacking the wheat
and may cut it off to son^p extent.
The same paper says that 5,373 head of
horses and mules, and about 2300 head o:
cattle have passed the editor'sdoor thisyear.
Fickle April "has almost passed away.—
Spring lias reached her maturity, and in a
few weeks more golden Summer wiil be up-
on us. Yet we always had alove for April.
Woman-like, it is clouds to-day and sun-
shine to-morrow! We are always sorry
when the Spring months have passed awa.v,
though in the change of seasons the great
Architect hath manifested his wonderful
power and goodness.

As Isdcstbiocs Monarch.—Ths Paris
correspondent of the Londou Moriiing Post
says that there is perhaps no man in th_-
world who goes through su:h ail amount ot
difficult mental labor daily, as the Kmperoi-
Napoleon. Al thu present moment especi-
ally the most important responsibility ot
t'oreign and domestic affairs belong person-
ally to the ruler of France. The moment
is critical and anxious and requires both
calmness and decision. His majesty is an-
■ mated with a sincere desire not only to
maintain what is commonly called friendly
relations with England, but hopes to see the
alliance progress on a solid basis of mutual
confidence. The Emperor, we are told, is
giving his personal attention to the diploma-
tic relations of England and France, and is
issisted by M'.JWalewski. The inter o • af-
fairs of the Empire are now more immedi-
ately under his control, these requiring great
attention, as the Government is employed
in breaking up secret political societies,
"which not only threaten France but Euro-
pean society generallymuch time is d d-
icated to Algiers, "which colony under the
present rule, promises to become of tht-
liighest importance to thecommerci.il World"
many more public improvements in Paris
ind elsewhere are receiving the approba-
tion of the Emperor; and agricultural im-
provements during the present year are to
receive State encouragement.

TheLvwyers.—We langli at 'em. and re-
ipect 'em, We abuse 'em and employ 'em
•Ve call them knaves, and get thetn to write
our wills, and probable name a lawyer for
>ne of the executors. After all, the legal
profession is a good ordeal to try a man's
capacity and integrity. If, after twenty-
years practice, he is esteemed a capable and
honest man, you may tru«t him i-nplicitly :
'or he is zprcvid man ; and it takes tempta
lions to show what a man is. Yet the ban
members of tbe profession tmouch the wliol>
dock, and so the old jokes, true and false,
igainst, the lawyers, never die. Who evei
saw a lawyer on the stage that wasn't repres
cnted as a sneaking, mnusins. pusillanimnu
soamp, whom the very bailiff despised ? Ann
ihe old poets, too, had their rap at him —
"When I from my slumbers wake,
My first prayer in the morn is,

But chiefly from attorneys!"

The News says that five vessels are now

"He Is Lost."—The Paris correspon-
dent of the Boston Courier relatesthe fol-
lowing anecdote of Orsini, for the truth 01
which he says he can vouch :
One of the magistrates, highest placed on
the bench, and who was foremost in con
ducting the prosecution against the prison
ars, (you will easily see why I can not giv(
his name publicly.) hath both personally
ind by letter, held communication with
Orsini since the trial, Orsini having written
to th ink him for var.ousgoodoffijjs^the ma-
gistrate I speak of, paid himalast visit at the
prison of La Roquette. Upon this occasion,
headdressed Orsini thu : "I have no rig:it
to ask you what I am about to ask. an I you
have every right to refuse me an answer.—
Consequently, if my question be indiscreet
remain silent. What is your belief with re
rard to further attempts upon the Emperor':
life? Will these coniinue?"
Orsini looked him full in the face, and nn
swered slowly aud very gravely; "I cai

for not speaking the perfect tAth; ii is im

TEXAS ITEMS.
The Tyler Reporter says that the reason
that the Intelligencer and the News are op-
posed to the action of the Convention is
because neither the editor of the one nor
.he reasons in either case.
The Reporter says that mails come there
regularly at the convenience of the boys
who are officiating as mail riders, and ol
eourse when that convenience is in tbe
way they don't oome.
S M. Warner of the Reporter has. been
elected Mayor of Tyler. Editors are' get-
ting updn the east.
The Upshur Democrat wants an editor
for a short time while its own is out of tlu
State for several months. Here's a chanci
.or ambitious newspaper writers.
The Democrat mentions a snow storm
there on the 7th inst., which blew down
houses, fences, trees and the like with con-
siderable freedom. Several cattle were
killed.
The San Antonio Herald quotes unbrand-
ed flour at §9,75 @ 10 and extra at $11,51.
@ 12,50; coarse salt $4,50 @ 5,00, fine
do. $5,50. Molasses 80 c. 0 $1,25, Rio
Coffee 16 @ 17, Java do. 20 @ 22 c. &c.
Prices are tolerably steep in that old city

aiiiuuio. xne streets are crowded
with wagons. %
The same paper says that many farmers
are replanting the fields that have been
stripped by the grasshoppers.
The Advocate says the people of Victo-
ria have found a way of knowing when to
eat their dinners. Several of them have fix-
ed noon marks, by the ringing of the Bell
by Mr. Case, who got his watch right when
apparent time and clock time corresponded,
a week or two since. Now if they are al-
ways provided with dinners to eat, and
have time to attend to the matter they will
get along.
The Advocate speaks of the Democratic
papers that favor Bell, as a "large and able
portion of the Democratic press," while the
supporters of tbe convention are character-
ized as a "few journals" which "attempt
to suppress inquiry on this subject. If three
out of thirty-three is a "large portion" and
the remaining thirty "a few," then may our
principles always be supported by that same
sort at few.
"It will be deeidedly an up hill business
for a few political editors to make the peo-
ple of Texas believe that sucb papers as the
Southern Intelligencer, the Columbia Dem-
ocrat, the Richmond Reporter, the Galves-
ton News, and the Galveston Civilian, with
a host of sueh journals as ordinarily pay
no attention to politics, are secret enemies
to the Democratic party, and laboring to.
promote its overthrow."—Advocate.

Ed. Telegraph:—Capt. Sterrett in reply-
to "Citizen" in regard to the failure of the

uses the following language:
I was not aware the mail was not-on

We suppose it will be a decidedly uphill ifested any interest in the matter and made
business to convince the Advocate that the known when he found tbe boat was gone
Southern Intelligencer is not at heart, a «'• acquainting t he regularly rec-
convention democrat, that the Columbia
Democrat should not just now be taken as
an exponent of the views of the Democracy,
that the Richmond Reporter never pretend-
ed to be a democratic paper, its editor hav-
ing been know nothing in know nothing
times, Sam Houstonite last summer, and
inii-democrat alwayt, that the Galveston
.Vewg pretends to be neither a democratic
aor an opposition paper, and is claimed by
■either party, and that the Galveston Civil-
.an support? the nominee of the convention.
Nevertheless these things are so, and "since
these things are so," (Que cum ita tint) the
Advocate proves itself either ignorant or
perverse, and it can take its choice.
Jhe Corpus Christi Valley says that the
grasshoppers have left that seotion, for a
better country.
The Valley says that there has been no
small pox in Corpus Christi.
Ihe Valley asks if side talk is democrat-
ic. It should know that those papers that
support, the principles of the democratic-
parly. fight for them rather than for men.
And if any men arenot worthy to maintain
them they must get out of the way for sucb
as are.
The Woodville Messenger says that the
peripatetic Jo lias turned dancing master in
Woodville. "To this complexion has it come
at last."
The Messenger says that Col. Morgan is
laying off a town at Big Spring twelve miles
from Woodville. We hope he will succeed
in selling lots.
The Messenger says that Livingston, the
county seat of Volk, one of the best coun-
ties in the State, is a dilapidated looking
town, showing no improvements, and un-
attractive generally. Tbe court house,
however is a good looking building.
The ^rownsville Flag of the 7th inst.,
mentions the escape of fifteen prisoners from
that place a few nights ^previously. The
jail is a poor building.
"The Flag mentions an incursion of a band
of semi-civilized Tarankawas, and the kill-
ing by them of Mr. Gasper Glaevecke who
was attending to a cavalado of horses about
twelve miles from Brownsville. These In-
dians had a renegade Mexican in company.
They stole some horses and left for Mexico.
A party of twenty-five men went in pursuit
of them.
The Liberty Gazette is now under the
joint control of H. C. Shea and T. J. Cham-
berg, Jr., the latter having just bought a
half interest in the paper.
The Gazette says there was frost in Lib-
erty on the night of the 13th. It must be a
cold place.
To thb Editor or theTeieohaph.'—The
people of Fayette county celebrated the 21et
of April, the Anniversary of Texas Indepen-
dence, on "Monuxnqpt Hill," opposite La-
grange.
The Cadets of the Military Institute, were
present under command of Maj. Timmons
Commandant of the Cor s
Col. Fors'ney supperi tendent, delivered
the address on the occasion, and the corps
of Cadets then paid tbe military funeral
compliment over the monument containing
the remains of the dead!
The movements of the corps were like ma-
chinery, the firing over the tomb like a sin-
gle report.
The view from Monument Hill is one of
the finest in the State, commanding, as it*
loes, the whole Valley of the Colorado, and
nany miles b?yond, with hunJre Is of farms
tnd plantations giving bounteous promise
of harvest . It was a time and a place to
feel patriotic.

iu
ognized agent ot the liui here of the fact,
the mail would have been sent to Harria-
burgh, iu ample time to overtake the "Is-
land City."
It is always an easy after the occurrence
of an accident, to prescribe the means by
which the same might have been avoided.
But culpability for a failure to employ
those means at the proper time, can only
follow where there was some legal or moral
responsibility esting upon the party agains:
whom the charge is made, and the degree
>f the guilt of such party is always in pro-
portion to the weight of the responsibility
originally resting on him; and the na-
ture of the opportunities allowed to pass un-
improved. ~ Now then, Capt. Sterrett, *by
his long continued practice of carrying uu
mail on Saturday's, hid rendered liimseli
'innrally responsible to this community, to
keep up the practice, whenever he should
make a. trip on that day; or publicly to
give notice of its abandonment. Why then
did he fail to take the mail down on the
day in question 1 He tells us he would not
wilfully do such a thing ; and it would be
uncharitable to conclude that, he felt no in
terest in a matter of so deep importance to
■lis patrons. But why was the mail left ?
Simply because, as the Captain has stated—
in the great pressure of business—sicknes?
of clerk &e., it was forjfotton.
If then the Captain forgets to do a thing
which lie has practiced so steadily for*a se-
ries of years, -id which by the force of
habit had al-. -i become a part of his ex-
istence—wi i what justness can he accuse
■ne of a want of interest in a matter, in
wicli I am supposed to have as deep and
abiding concern as himself, merely because
I did not perceive the remote contingency
of sending the mail to ilari isburg in Ilu-
night, hours after ihe steamer bad left the
city, to counteract the effects of his over-
■Bght, thus doing something entirely new to
ineand rather ->ut of my sp.iere, io repair
an omission by the Captain in a service in
which he had had several years experience.
iViili the exception abjve noticed, i hearti-
ly endorse the statement m ule in Ihe Cap-
tain's communication; mid it affords me
much pleasure to bare witness to the fact.
that no public offi;er strives harder, and
with greater sucuess, to perform his duty,
than does Capt. J. U. Sterrett.
