 GOVERNOR CoNwAY.--We invite the careful at- tenton of our readers to the communication of Gov James s. Conway, to be found on our first page Great injustice has been done to Gov. Conway; and this, in opinion, alike for political effect, and to gratfy personal malice. It seems, to us, impossible to read his communication ''To the Public together with the statements of Messrs Field and Martin, and the receipt of Gen. Royson, and not come to the conclusion that all his transactions, in the matter have been fair and honorable, and that he is justly intitled at the hands of Congress, to the relief he seeks and, in any event, that he has made the sum of money, in controversy, intirely and avail able to the Government, even if justice shall be denied him.
 FROM WASHINGTON Our thanks are due to the Hon. CHESTER ASHLEY, for several favors, in the way of correspondence, since his arrival in Washington
