Ridiculous.

When Horace Greeley first took hold Of poll
lies, he possessed a reputation, as a man of COM
mon sense, as we'll as literary ability, And, per-
haps, had his almost superhuman effort of last
year, been crowned with success, in the election
of Henry Clay and the defeat of annexation,
that reputation would have survived until now.
But as defeat has been his luck, and his abors
have all been in vain, the consequences begin to
show themselves in "loppIing DER of reason"
And now he seems TO fancy himselflunatic like
to have become supreme censor of the ress,
dictator of all public opinion, and the infallibe
|expounder of the only true system of political
ECONOMY. ClcUcldnd Plain Dealer.
Here is his latest edict, as published in tho
Tribune of the llth:
"The True Sun is journal which we have fre-
quently taken pleasure in commencing for i'm.
Ipartiality in regard to political controversies 1t
has at length seen fit to compel US TO withdraw
all such Communications. lis leading article o.
yesterday is most unspariDg and iusidious at
tack upon the protective policy, having especia
reference to the article of IRON. II sees fit tC
assert that the high duties on iron have raisec
The price and checked the consumption, when The
editor must be UeU atDare that tOe protectionist
hold that such ia not the permanent effect Of pro

Upon this the New York News uttcrs the fol
lowing parody:
'''To hear is to obey What degree of te
meriiy must that True Sun be possessed of t
dare assert that high taxes make high prices, an,
that high prices diminish consumption! whel
"we Protectionisls" have asserted that bye-and

Naval Rendezvous in tho Pacific.

Twenty miles to the westward Of Honolulu,
in the island of Oahu, one of the Sandwich ISL
ands, is the harbor of Pearl river, one of the
best naval harbors in the world. There are no
inhabitants in the vicinity, and with little atten-
ton il may be obtained by the government of
the United States as naval rendezvous, and as
a great gathering place for the whalemen and
Indiame Of our country, in time Of peace or
war. A steamer commanded by U. S. naval of
fcers, might carry regular mail from Chagres
to that rendezvous; transport officers and stores;
and at the same time guard our Pacific commerce

To POstmasters.

We have on several occasions received letters
from postmasters informing US Of matters relating
10 our subscribers, and those letters were not
ffankcd as they should have been. This is cu-
pable negligence on their part, as the new law
specially provides for such business. The post
master is authorized to frank his letter, first en-
dOrsing it "POst ORce business" and signing lis
name Immediately after; the letter will then
come free of postage, but not otherwise. II Is
the duty of postmasiers to frank such letters, as
will be seen by the subloined letter from the De

0FSeyeral democratic papers are urging the
commissioners of their respective counties to sub
scribe stock to certain railroad companies, the
route of which passes through their localites.--
We think this is in bad taste for democratic pa

we think false reasoning TO give their recommen-
datOns more weight Half OF tke railroads pro-
jected are never more than half completed, or at
least not fora number of years, and the people,
many against their will, have to pay the interest;
and when they are completed, little benefit is de.

AMERICAN GUANo.

We have neither the information nor the expert
ence to enter into an argument pro or the merits
of the famous guano manure. We have already
too many issues to meet, without resorting to such
fertile field. But, for the benefit Of farmers,
who believe in the Incompatible virtues of guano,
we bring them TO the pleasing news, that hereafter
it will not be necessary to make long voyage to
lchaboe or Peru to gather the enrichiDg treasure.
On coast, it will be seen, the valuable material,
the ''real grit" may be procured in abundance.
From the thousands of Pelicans and wild fowl
which we saw whitening the coasts of Texas we
should infer that that fine country would also
abound in rich manure. Here then, is another fruit
of annexation, not to be scorned Texas will never
require the manure for her own rich soil; but she
may make some return for our kind protection, by
sending us materials to fertize the exhausted soil
of the old States.
The ST. Augustine Herald of the 5th instant
says
ssWhy should everybody run crazy after the qua
no from the Pacific, when own country can fur
nish much better article' Wherever salt water
fresh runs, there large beds Of alluvial de-
posted, in which, on chemical analysis, we think
will be found some of the most valuable compo-
nents, which, combined with others, will form a
much cheaper manure than can be imported.
'slf guano, however, must be had, why not come
to Florida' and, long as it lasts, we will supply
it. friend tells that the Pelican islands, OF
which there number in the Tomoco river, there
large deposites Of the aftcle-the real grit. The
pelican, and other aquatic birds of the coast,
congregate there in myriads, and afford to the plan
ters rich manure if they choose to take it away.
And, beside this, the young SQUAD furnishes all the
oil they need for use in their cotton ginning"
While on the subject of farming, we would re-
peat suggestion Of an old inhabitant for the benc
fit Of our agricultural friends. Next Saturday will
be the '.full of the moon"-and, in the expected
scarcity of corn, he warmly recommends the SOW.
ing ofa large quantity of turnips that day; as,
from time immemorial, there is much virtue in such

though, from his earliest recollection he has heard
of her kind mnsterings to the wounded officer who
sought her aid on the 26lh Of September 1850, and
has been taught to cherish for her an hereditary
gratitude and affection. He well remembers that,
on the 26th Of September, 1886, about a month be-
fore the death of General Graham, he required to
the circumstances in which he had been on that
day ffty-sx years preceding and acknowledged the
hospitality and good Offices of these benevolent ana

have no information concerning the authenticity
of the account in relation to the visit of the Jackson
family to the house Of her father, but perceive no
good reason why il should be doubted. Her accu-
racy to what she herself saw, in the part OF the
story already considered, entities her TO be fairly
treated as concerns the residue. There rs surely
nothing in the condition of things at that time to
render il improbable, much less impossible, as the re-
viewers suppose. The people of Waxhaw and
Meckenburg, in those days of dread and trial, were
united in the strongest bonds Of patriotic sympathy
and good neighborhood. They were not more than
days Journey apart and it would have been
difficult undertaking, on any occasion OF alarm,
for Mrs. Jackson TO have sought protection
under the hosptab!e roof of Mr.. Alexander, IN the
manner related by his daughter. Her being at va
rance with the dates of events in Kendas Life OF
jackson, cannot be regarded at all decisive
against her credibiliy. Time is very often not ma-
tera in determining the actual occurrence OF events
There was occasion for fleeing "farther and fast
err into Gulford then, as the reviewers suppose.
They seem not to be aware that Lord CORVALLIS
proceeded no farther than Charlotte at that time;
but that, upon hearing of the defeat Of Ferguson,
he decamped from Charlotte in the night, after a
stay there Of fifteen or twenty days, and rercated
to Camden; and that he did not again invade North
Carolina until late in December following. II is no
very violent conjecture, therefore, to suppose that
Mrs. J. may have fingered in Mecklenburg a few
weeks before going to Guilford. This, however, is
mere suggestion / go not into any dispute upon
that. have been forced reluctantly to ask the in
diligence of your columns, to repe an unprovoked

done, my end is accomplished. G.
