 Our neighbor of the Gazette. in his last, yelps rats. more lastily than ever. The :. tl,rse-tlsous aua- dollar.iob.s which he has lost-{o or fancies he has lost, for he never he'd bapa fde saght to it)--still sticks in his maw-he cannot forget it, nor forgive the Governor for giving t to another-lt doubtless forms the subject of his nightly dreams--he talks and dreams of nothing but dollars-dollars-doliors! whi h are ire yocably lost to him and his heirs forever. Ne pity him from ihe very bottom of our soul, knowing that money is the only delty he worships.
 Ne do not justify, nor do we condemn, s:hs appc::t..seas ef Alr Steele 10 digest and print the Statute Laws of this Territory. It may or may not be good appointaeut-we shall see when the work is completed. But we should like to know .what absolute g4ghi our aforesaid neighbor had to this three-thousand-dollar-lo ob. '-- From tbe language he holds, one would suppose that the law of Congress making the appropriation, had actually said in so many words that he should have the Job. There are others in this Territory, tand who have not been heard to complain at the selection made), who have as strong claims at least, as Vim. E. Woodruff. He seems io have forgotten every body--he could thrnk of no one but .Ms. Woodruff who had any claims on thls iob-whieh Is very na- tural with him, when tbe dolidrs" are in yiew--they form the handspring by which he acts and Is controlled. In fact, he did not deserve the job, and should not have had t. He has been feeding on the pub lie coflers long enough-he has got his fill of treasury pap. If nothing else, his moral character should have forbid his appoint ment. If aue had got the job, the hue and cry would have been the same. This is what we look at.
 A friend at Fort Gibson, in q letter to the editor, speaking of the Dragons, says :: l hey have suIereu liisseiI. es~aaa.,l afifii- se'S ate IvPvrEcu sICh. | ur no,..,,.-. VI deaths among the men is not yet known here, but fl is feared ii will be large. The health of this Post is good--but the hot weather has been great drawback upon my comfort, the mercury has been ranging from 9s to l09--lo9 one day, Tor at aesa the next"
 hls letter was written before the return of the Dragoons to I Toft Gibson.
 
 We are completely done-up--neyer was poor editor in such dilemma before. Ne find ourselves, and rather unexpectedly too, at peace with all the worId-( for the time 6e1sg, we mean). We have none with Mnon 10 break ance--no political bull loek fer tae slaughter There Is Sevier, Wlih whom we have an unsettled account, but he is sick, and 1t would be unmanly to war upon hlm--and the Governor, we might get tolerable quarrel out of him, but Woodraf has him in hand, and we scorn to rob hlm of a '.Jobp, particularly when ,5so3e are so scarce with him. Inlton, he is on the shelf and t would be worse than sacrllege to touch hinl-let him laY there. aud Woodruff, the least of all, is nat worth the ammunition, We have ru him down until he Is really so teaa tAal he would not pay for .ae sSnning. However, we do noi des- pair Ne will find some fellow before long travelling out oi the llne oi his Cu;y--or ne- gleenng Il altugelher-and as certain as we do, So certain shall we mark him instantly as our man. But we are adlnonished by the hot weather to keep cool--it IS best, per- haps.
  A report $ going the rounds of the pa pers, that Col. ,4bran Blanding, of South saroiaa, has been offered tie appointment of Postmaster General. Some of the pa rers have t, that Col. F. II. IL Joisasols, of Kentucky, has been rendered the same ap- Peinssient. No change could worst the country. So let us have it.
