The New ORLEANS PREss.-it IS win no iittie
pride that we challenge a comparison between the
press of this and any other city IN respect to cour-
teorls and liberal tone. We at any rate, ought to
be conscious of the fact; for our Crescent, thus
far, has received other mention than that i'll the
way of kindness from contemporaries; and
this kindness it has received from them all.
The Picayune, we see, comes out in a beautiful
new dress-making one of the neatest papers pub
Iisled in any land or any age" The Pic is the
oldest of the papers of its class in these "diggns,
and has never tagged in interest-or profit.
We may, with propriety, MENTION too, the advent
of our contemporary of the Republic. Its editor,
Col Wagner, is a sort of Nestor among us all his
life and talents have always had New Orleans for
their field of operation, and may they long con-
tnue to have.
Our other contemporaries, whom we need not
mention by name-.hough their merits are not in-
ferior to those alluded to above-lnnst accept or
thanks for what they have said about US. They
may also rest assured that OF our highest grati
ica,ions, in conducting our paper, will be to pre-
serve that spirit of courtesy and genfiemahiy
feeling which has hardly yet been broken at
all, among the newspapers of the crescent oty'

ANOTHER VIEW OF Mrs GAINEss CosE.,Rhe
Commercial Bulletin Of yesterday, Sth inst. has
the following on the subject of Mrs Gainess case
8 SpecnIations and Iruh.-Some of the New
York spectators have, it is said, offered Mrs.
Gaines nine millions of dollars for the property
which she has lately recovered
We continually see such ridiculous and absred
paragraphs as the preceding in The Northern prints
ftiat!hg to Mrs. Gaines and the late decision of the
Supreme Court.
The Delta recently gave yerv correct state
ment OF tins decision, which was universally re-
garded here, as a " made up case between the par
ties Al any rate, II was considered by all those
Interested m The property claimed by Mrs Gaines
and they all refused TO 90 INTO court to assist in The
defence, or to have any thing to do with the case
Which they OF course would have done had thew
thought the decision would have any serious hear
ing upon the real merits of the claim. Mrs. G. is
no nearer the possession of the property she claims
than she was previous TO the late decision nor are
her claims considered as improved thereby The
great battle is yet 10 be fought. and this little affair
of outposts, will in no way affect or influence the
final result.
As regards the whole value of the property in
dispute, the reports rdiculously exaggerated
The most sanguine. and those best informed on the
subject, do not estimate it. with all its increased
value since the death of Mr. Clark, thirty five years
since, at above millions Of dollars, and il will
probably fall much short of that sum, and in
stead of nine millions having been offered for it. we
do not believe that any capitalists would risk
100000 for her claims, and take all the chances
and expense attending the recovery. Our sympa-
thies with Mrs Gaines. in this business, if She
really has been unitisy kept oft of her legal rights
but we regret that She OF her friends, allow such
rd'euous stories as the above, TO circulate uneon-
radfe,eJ
