thing works after all. They hardly get the book
out, before the same thing appears from another
quarter, and very shortly other rival editions are
issued Now it is all humbug to set upa wall be-
cause your book is pirated-it was not your book
you only bought the advance sheets-and as
soon as it came out from your press, became pub
lie property Do you file a caveat against this
reasoning? 1t is your own law-you have acted
on it tor thirty years. Stealing is the only title
you can show to any of your thousand plrated
volumes of Haam, and Bulwer, and Thackary,
and Scott, and Lamartine, and hosts of other great
authors. So you may withdraw your cayeat from
file. And, for Gods sake, don't quarrel aloud over
your stolen booty, and whimper and howl because
one of your band has got the bone when you
thought you had it safe in your own pouch, for the
public will show no sympathy with your msfor-
tunes You have never shown any to the poor,
fleeced, stripped, and pirated author whose bread
you have been eating-oA the fruit of whose I'M
paid toll you are noting in luxury. We mean
nothing personal In our remarks. We call things
by their right names, when speaking of the trade ;
and the honesty of mankind has pronounced the
present system of publishing piracy. But this game
Is about over. The necessity for copyright law
is beginning to be felt by the publishers and the
nation. Let the authors rally once more and press
up their claims on Congress. Justice and the
sympathles of all the honest and the good, on both
sides Of the Atlantic, are with them.

THE PAcTIc MAIL SERVcE.-Several paragraphs have
appeared in the papers, in relation to the appoint
msnt of United States mail agents on the ISthmus
Of Panama, which mostly incorrect. The fact is,
that newly appointed Consul at that place, A. d.
Corwin, Esq, gentleman who bore himself CALAMITY
at the battle of Buena Vista in command of company
in the Mississippi regiment has been entrusted by the
Postmaster General with the full control and manage
ment Of the United States mails crossing the sthmus;
and from personal knowledge of his business habits
and energy Of character, have doubt that the
present numerous and well founded complaints anst
the stbmus mail service will not be much longer heard
1t is made the duty Of the Consul at that port the
existing postal treaty with New Granada to undertake
this duty, and he has recently visited Washington
epurpose ofreceivng the necessary instructions from
the Post Office department. Mr. Seymour is entrusted
with the mails from port to port With these appoint
ments all irregularities in the mails ought to cease

Rumors from tho Indian Country.

The Cherokee Advocate, of the l4th instant, states
that 1t was reported that the Osages and Camanchos
preparing TO intercept and rob the Fayetteville
Mining Company, now on the way to California.
Also, that runner has been sent out TO the compa-
ny with information OF this plan.
The Choctaw Telegraph, OF the 10Th instant, states
that rumors had been brought in that an advanced
party of California emigrants, with pack mules, had
been attacked by Camanches and ID killed. the
others being obliged TO fall back and Join the main
train. Also, that the Camanehes intended after
robbing the Caliiornians, TO make an attack on the
Cherokees and Choctaws.
We give these rumors for what they are worth. We
do not ourselves attach much Importance to them
yet, as they might possibly prove correct it will be
well for our government TO give some little attention
TO affairs in the Indian country, and the Plains. We
believe that, under The circumstances II IL the duty
of the War Department to establish at once two or
three military posts between Fort Smith and Santa
Fee or some point on the Rio Grandc, on the route
of the California emigrants. This measure should
by all means be perfected before the emigration com
nences next spring. Besides afIordng perfect secn-
rity TO the enigrants IL would be the most effective
plan that could be adopted prevent the incursion
of hostile Indians into the border settlements Of
Texas = Litiie Rock Gdsetfe.

A WORD TO THE WISE.

To hear our opponents and to believe
them, one would suppose that allth honesty
and fidelity in the country, are to be found
in the persons Of Democrats. II a Demo-
crat is renewed from office, forthwith he is
canonzed as political saint in the party
calendar. This claim Of perfection has al
ways been set up by our opponents, but a
regard for the truth of political history for
bids its allowance in all cases. During the
Administration Of JACKSON and VAN BU-
rem, this same claim was urged to an ex-
tent, that made every ohice-holding Demo-
crat paragon Of personal and political vir-
tue /; but alas the perfection Of Democratic
human nature was found not TO be tempta-
tation-proof, for nearly the whole of the lede-
raj Land office official corps in the States,
in those days, proved to be derelict to COM
mon honesty The black list Of delalcations,
Of that era, is not yet forgotten, and we hope
for the honor Of the Democratic party, that
no necessity will arise to add TO it from the
ranks OF the officers Of the last administra-
ton, The history Of Democratic iaithess-
ness in public Office, stands out so palpably
from the canvass, that we are surprised at
the pertinacity with which the claim Of De-
mocratic perfection is maintained. Perhaps
the discoveries of the last three and the next
twelve months, will close the mouths Of our
adversaries on this point. Perhaps twelve
month hence, the Union will not BE- so eager
to inquire for the cause Of removals from
office. Indeed, we think, we see sensible
abatement in this particular. A word to
the wise, &c.

WAR DEpARTMEsT,

With feelings Of deep regret and grief the Presi-
dent announces to the army the death Of Breyet Ma

as its torrent.
General GAINES entered the service of his country
on the tenth day Of January, 1882 with the rank Of
Ensign. FROM this humble position he assembled
step by step, 10 his honorable and elevated rank
Opportunity only FASTENED that promotion, which
his Judgment and courage and patriotism won.--
His knowledge was the result Of experience. lie
studied the character of the soldier and knew his i'm
pulses and wants. The one he directed the other he
relieved. He was n man Of generous ind ardent
sympathes.
Authority he always considered an element fol-
good or for evil. Its exercise by him may be safely
tested by that standard which combines frmness
with kindness, and justice with clemency He gave
not an order, in the execution Of which he was not
prompt 10 partake its peril OF his gallant exploits
It is not necessary to speak. They belong TO history
and are safe.
