The following correspondence has at
forded much amusement hereabouts, and
may be equally enjoyed at distance
II is the general opinion that he Of the
Telegraph has the Sub-Governor on the
hip; and we incline to suspect that our
Virginia readers will not think that their
acting Executive cuts n very gratifying
figure. The Richmond Enquirer puts
in suggestion, that Governor FLOYD has
perpetrated an infraction of the ConSiiiu-
ton, in ordering the obnoxious paper for
the Executive Department, without a
vote Of the Council; but the Governor is
a great stickler for limited powers, and is
not likely to be convicted Of such jaur
pas. 1t is very grave affair, however,
and as our oracular friend Of Richmond
says, nous rerrOns. Nat. Intel.

Richmond, June 30, 1891.
SIR: In the absence of the Governor
from the Seat of Government, your paper
has been brought to me from the post Of
flee, directed to the Executive Depart
ment of Virginia. AS the head Of that
department at this time, | have to say to
you, that am aware ofno legal or regu-
/ lar warrant for the transmission of your
paper to the Executive of this State
The Council Of State having never advis-
ed in relation to the subject, think prop
er to request that no further numbers of
your paper be forwarded to the Execu-
tive, as, under existing circumstances,
you can have no claim upon the State for
any of them.
Yours, SC. PETER V. DANIEL.

The intelligence which we daily re-
ceive from Pennsylvania, corroboratcs
the opinions long since formed, that Gen.
Jackson can no longer count upon re-
ceiving the support Of that patriotic State.
BY one of those injudicious movements
which have characterised the Jackson
party since it acquired the ascendancy
a bitter contest has been commenced, s.
is now waging against the present Gov.
Gen. Wolf. He came into Office as a
Jackson man, and for a length of time
retained his preference for the military
hero. But it would seem that he cannot
wear the collar any longer-hc has seen
that the National Administration is pur-
suing a course of direct hostility to all
the great principles of Pennsylvania po-
Icy, that it is opposed to Internal I'm
provcmcnt: to the American System, to
the Bank Of the United States. These
are well understood to be throughout

COMING Our! The Lancaster Pa.
Herald, in the last number, holds the fol-
lowing language respecting the Presi-
dent:
"Having been among the earliest sup
portcrs of Jackson for the Presidency, it
is with no ordinary feelings Of regret and
modification, we find the high expecta-
tions we had formed of his civic worth &
talents disappointed, and that instead of
the open and honest course we had an
ticipated would characterize his admins
tration, disunlon and intrigue have been
the order ofthe day. Instead ofthe firm
and fearless conduct we had expected as
the result ofhis honest purpose and inde-
pendent judgment, we find the councils
of our country weak and distracted; in
stead of the confidence We supposed his
energy and wisdom would inspire, moth
ing but dlstrust prevails"

LETTER OF GEN. GAINEs.--Rumors
have been circulated of a defeat, by the
Indians in Missouri, of the troops under
Gen. Gaines. The following letter from
the General himself furnishes the latest
and most authentic account of the opera
tions in that quarter.
Extract ofa letter from Gen. E. p. Gaines,
dated Rock Island, 2OM June, 1881.
81 have visited the Rock River villa
ges with a view to ascertain the localities,
and as far as possible the disposition of
the Indians. But few of their warriors
were to be seen-their women and chill
drcn and their old men appeared anxious,
and at first somewhat confused, hut none
attempted to run off, Having previously
notified their chiefs that l would have
nothing more to say TO them, unless they
should desire to inform me of their inten-
ton to more torthuah as had directed
them; did not speak to them, though
within fifty yards OF them. | had with
me on board the steam boat some artillery
and two companies Of Infantry. Their
village is Immediately on Rock River, s.
so situated that could, from the steam
boat, destroy all their bark houses, (the
only kind of houses they havc) in few
minutes, with the force now with nc
probably without the loss Of a man. But
| am resolved to abstain from firing a
shot without some bloodshed, or some
manifest attempt to shed blood, on the
part Of the Indians. / have already in
duced nearly one-thirG of them to cross
the Mississippi to their own land. The
residue, however, say, as the friendly
chiefs report, that they nerer wiH more,
and, what is very uncommon, their wo-
men urge their hostile husbands to fight
rather than to move and thus abandon
their homes. Should the appearance Of
Gov. Reynolds mounted men fail to move
them-their chiefs will then be arrested
and kept in confinement until disposed OF
by the civil authorities, and the others
will be landed on the opposite banks Of
the Mississippi and notified that if they
return they will be punished. The re-
ports of other tribes having engaged to
assist this band in defending themselves
against us, are entitled to but little credit
Several other tribes, such as the Winnie
bagoes, Pottawattomies, and Kickapoos
have been invited by these Sacks to as
sist them, but cannot positively ascer-
tain that more than two hundred have ac-
tually joined, and it is very doubtful
whether these will remain true to THEN
offending allies. l was assured by Gov
Reynolds in his last letter, that he would
be here on the 10Th or Goth. therefore
look for him momently ."-.Nashrilie Ban.

KrNrucKY. The State Elections in
Kentucky, and several other Western
States. are close at hand. That of
Kentucky takes place on the first Mon
day in August Great exertions are
making on both sides; and both parties
appear equally confident of ofsuccess. The
defeat of the friends of Mr.. Clay, in
Kentucky, is a great object with the
administration. Upon this subject, the
Louisville Journal of July Sd, contains
the annexed paragraph, which deserves
attention, as displaying the scrupulous
fidelity with which Gen. Jackson and
his Officers, observe his orn rule, of not
permitting Fedrral influence to come in
contact with State elections! If Jack
sonism is defeated in Kentucky in
August, it will be because the virtue of
the People is strong enough to resist the
temptations of power.-.N. Y. Spectator.
at would seem as if upon Kentucky
were now concentrated the whole moral
and pccuniary energies of the General
Government. OF the circulation of the
Cabinet paper among us, we have al
ready spoken repeatedly Thrice we
have stated, that Andrew Jackson, VIM.

two others, had become subscribers for

nniH otler Me .fugust EieciionW Our
statements were copied and commented
on at Washington, but the 'Globe" has
not spoken a word in reply to them
We now repeat what we have said, and
call distinctly upon Mr. Blair for either
denial or IA confession. We are ready
with our authority-ready to establish
our assertions by testimony, which
neither the President nor his pensioners
will dare to gainsay.
"The people may be disposed to ask
why it is, that the administration are
making such peculiar eXertions in Ken

at is because they know, that the
game, which is now to be decided here,
will decide their title to life or death. -
To them, it is a desperate chance-and
they are playing for it desperately
From week to week they hear of scores
and hundreds of rrctrievable losses, and
their madness is breaking over all re-
straint. They are pitting the great and
overwhelming power of the General
Government against the great and over
whelming power of Kentucky pride,
Kentucky honor, and Kentucky inde-
rndence. In contest like this, what
have we to fear! Why should not
every patriotic heart beat high in antici-
patton Of a glorious victory! What is a
Republic worth, sovereign States can
be bought and corrupted by a govern
ment, whose devises and Vaccinations
have become so palpable as to be
scarcely cloaked under the profession of
honesty"

FURTHER DISCLOSURES as to the deh-
cate cause of the recent breaking up and
turning out ofthe Jackson Cabinet, were
received here on Tuesday last.-They
consist of documents of highly impor-
tant character, as they emanate directly
from the "high contracting parties"
themselves, and have tendency to fix

that induced Jackson to dismiss from his
councils Berrien, lngham and Branch

In one particular the present Admins
tration have introduced and acted upon a
principle of reform, which it is important
that the people should thoroughly COM
prehend. 1t is well known that many of
the acts ofthe Government are performed
through the medium of the Executive Of
ficers in Washington, and that full and
accurate information oftheir proceedings
can only be obtained by those who have
access to those Departments. During the
last Administration, the doors ofthese Of
fees were open to all parties;-informa-
ton upon all subjects of general and pub
lie interest was attainable. All this ap-
pears now to be changed. Within day
or two, we have ourselves been refused
information of public character at these
Offices. In order to ascertain the accu-
racy ofthe charge made against MIR. Ly-
on representative from Kentucky, as to
his having received more compensation
for mileage than is allowed by law, we
called upon the Register of the Treasury,
in whose office these accounts are depos-
tied, and asked for the information. 1t
was peremptorlly refused, under the au-
thority Of general rule, which prohibits
the granting such information to any one
net personally interested in the document
of which u view is desired. Being re-
ferred by the Register to the Acting
Secretary of the Treasury, we received
the same reply. Our friends at a dis
tance must receive this as an apology for
our inability to answer inquiries some
times propounded-and to verify, by Of
fetal documents, the averments which
are made both here and from abroad
We repeat, no such information was
withheld from political foes during the
administration of Mr. Adams, and that
such information can now be obtained by
the friends of the present Administration.
The records of the Navy, and Treasury,
and War Departments, are accessible to
the writer's in the Globe,-we ask wheth-
er this privilege can, with propriety, be
withheld from US.

MARCH OF MIND. The Washington
Globe has recently made several as
tonishing discoveries, which will enlight-
en- the world. One is, that the "world
has never before seen government like
that of the United States" We reckon
that this is true; and hope that none
like it will be seen again. We might
name divers governments that have ex-
hibited traits resembling it; but the en-
tirety is unique. The Court Of Charles
the Second had some points of coincl.
dence. The Poignac administration
was like it, on the score of reforming out
all who were not its slaves. The old
Venetian Council of Ten were in some
respects Just such set of fellows. The
unit of the Roman Triumvirate broke to
pieces. Saul made war on the best
friends of hrs country. Every body
was glad to get rid of Charles X. In
deed we might 60 on finding out resem-
blances through all history; but the to-
tai combination would not be flattering
to our national pride. A vain author
once Dragged that he must be great
man; because he cried and sighed like
Horace and Virgil, had a war like
Cicero, was crooked like Pope, round
shoudered like Johnson, and club footed
like Byron. "The world had never be-
fore seen" such an intellectual prodigy
