any rate, there is danger that these very guns
may be turned against the captors, and decmate
the troops of the United States in New Mexico.

The States Rights Republican confesses the petty
larceny, but says it was great offence after all.
Its offence simply consisted in taking from its ap-
proprlate connection poecal quotation introduced
by us into an article on the grave of Gen Taylor,
and incorporating it into its article on the monu.
ment to Mr.. Calhoun. We are glad it confesses
the corn, though it is done ungraciously. Many

owner, saying" Here is your old wheelbarrow.

we receive from the chivalrous Republican.
by the way, Yankee has lately invented new
machine for the cheap and abundant manufacture
of gas it is called Every man his own gas
maker" We advise the Columbia editors and
resolution makers and orators to procure themselves
a good supply, as there is danger their gas will
give out.
We have recently had physiological discussion
with the Delta. There is no danger, however, we
shall enter into any learned quarrel on entomology
with the Republican, as we perfectly agree with
him as to the class and genus to which he belongs.
