RICH.

The most amusing affair that has come under our
observation of late. is the trouble our Washington
correspondent "Zeb'' is giving to loco foco quill
drivers in this part of the state. Had it not con-
tanned several decided shits,' would not have re.
ceived the notice il has done. uZeb' has promised
70 write for the Hlwk-Eye, and it will be the aim
Of the loco foco editors to blunt the edge OF his
homely truths. But they viii have their effect,
Notwithstanding. They viii be sought after and
they will be read.
The funniest part Of the whole matter is the con-
fdencc with which these editors speak the au-
thorship OF uZebs' letter. Nmaaes us laugh while
we think Off, and we sure ssZe6' hlms VIII
laugh heartily when he hears about it. The Fort
Madison Statesman gave the sscuen in attribGting
the authorship to Mr. MILLER. and the editor of the
Gazette pitches his voice to the same tune. They
think they have it sure. But obliged to spoil
it all By saying, Gentlemen, you are on the wrong
scent. You will have to guess again. Daniel F..
Miller is not the author of aZeb.o He has other
things to attend to, which will probably secure to
him his seat. notwithstanding our Contemporary
thinks his chance is slim.
The following is the confident manner in which
the Gazette speaks Of his knowledge of the author
ship ofa1eb.'' The Statesman is equally as conf
dent -
The author OF the s.Ghost Story,'' finding, prob
ably, That his chance for obtaining seat in Con-
gress is rsther slim, has betaken himself to letter
writing. One of his eifasions may be foanl in the
last Hawkeye. over the signature of ssZeb.. He'd
better urge on his case to decision; for slight
are his prospects Of success they must vanish
entirely IL his letters reach Washington before the
question has been disposed OF. Even wings will
hesitate to a.it the author Of such stun to seat
ON their floor.

The CUBAN oLLY.-The accounts from

tained from him. He was accompanied by
one Of his aids, Major Sachez Essnaga.
