To the Editor: For some weeks past |

vital interests are involved, words of truth
and snberncss may well be uttered, even in
the hearing Of an editor. II II is Time to
re.assrrt the fact that privileged orders 90
not exist in our country, md no man can
innoccnly or hormlcss|y arroga'e to hun"
self prerogatives not guaranteed by the con-
si,u,loE Or the eXlgencies OF gwen case.
The true interest Of n small community,
like that of a nation. can only be secured
by compromise, concession, unG mutual
klndIlness of feeling among its m"mhers.-
Every man should therefore know his place.
and knowing dare mnintain. More than
that--he should forify, protect. and defend
himself from all evils temporal or spiritual; /;
and he should have generosity enough to
let others alone, unless they be offender.
against The sa id temporal or spiritua wcl'

this town are inexcusn be and argue cen-

Not content with decryinE the qualcn.

public as examples Of uncommon ugllne>S.
Now, SIR, have but n word to say.-such

ZEN STONES CIRCULAR.

Mr.. Ediior:-I have just seen one OF
Gen. Sone's Circulars, in which he sets
cu, with the declaration that "two years
ago he made an unsuccessful attempt TO
&C, IN. field TO run single handed for Con-
eress against Col. Anderson, hut was pre-
Ysu'ed from doing so by The interpos'llon
of Maj Lyon, of Knoxville.' | regret
ihsi he Generals ambition was MOI gra-
,l6el on that occasion, as it would have
superseded the necessity of the present
can ass, for Col. Anderson would have run
biz! blind in a few days! | believe that
thai was not the first time that the General
haa made an unsuccessful attempt to 60
10 Congress. for il my memory serves me
right about the year lS4l. he came in as
"Ihrdsman" in a contest between Colonel
4rsAll anA J. w. blackwell. and came
oil "l1ird bes"-eetling some 90 or 10
votes in ihe Congressional DisiIic'!
In his late circular, hc further remarks.
thai Col. Anderson and Maj. Lyon "heine
on opposite sides in politics, caused him to
decline the contes. al that time. and leave
the field to the Two aspirants." As the ',w o
aspirants" at present are on "opposl'e sides
in politics." am sorry that the Generals
maenanimi'y did not prompt him to follow
The example which he set two years ago,
for any man with "half an eye" can see
iha. his chance for success in this canvass
is utterly hopeless. and lha, his only object
in running now, is to try to defeat Colonel
AndersoE-he having condescended to be
used as "iool" for that purpose.
The General ran as a Wing in AL but
he was so badly "dista need" thai he has
changed his coors, and now comes on The
track as an "ama'gamation" "-repnblcan
democratic. .whig candidate, with smart
sprlnklmg OF "Soulhern Chivalry" and
7rousdaiism attached!
The General goes on 10 enumerate many
daring and wonderful exploi,s which he
performed during his brief sojourn in Con-
gress. for which the people OF this District
would owe him an eternal debt OF grail
,ude, had they not been so unseneIous and
unerateiul as to have entirely forgotten n
them! 1t would seem from the Generals
statement, that he has already done as
much for the people as Jesse G.. Moore has
promised 10 do, and | have no doubt hut
that when the General goes to Congress,
Jesse c.. will 60 TO The Legislature!

FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, July 20.

" ASHINGIUNt ~o'
The public mind continues to be agi,ated
by rumors concerning the awards OF the
recent Board of Commissioners under the
Mexican treaty. The members OF the Board
themselves have written to the President
and urged request for full investigation
of their conduct in the business and OF the
whole management of the business before
the Board. There has not been any doubt.
for some time, that the subject would Oe
taken up by Congress when it meets, and
that full investigation will be made by
Committee, clothed "wi'h power to send
for persons ind papers," But it is moi
probable that any distribution of the indem. !
uiiy ,Iut the BOard could have properly
nv de would have been satisfactory to all or
TO majority Of the claimants. The public
are q lso apt to look with envy upon success
ful claimants, and with distrust upon the
influences of public men when brought to
the id of private claims. After all, there
mav not be any particular or great fault to
be found with the Bourd-nothing, certainly,
tina, can affect their integrity. though it may
ca in question their discretion.
Carlos Gardiner was admitted to bail IN
the sum Of only eight thousand dollars-a
fall from sixty thousand. which was first
demanded. Mr.. Corcoran testified that
Carlos had received no part Of his bro'bers
award, and that he had credit for only ten
thousand dollars, on his brothers account
at his bank, which sum was to be used for
the payment of debts due by George A.
Gardiner. Mr.. Corcoran testified that he
(Mr.1 c.. had no interest in the award; also,
that George A. Gardiner had funds on de.
posit in his bank.
The President, it is sad, will demand
from the British government the surrender
of George A. Gardiner, but there is n"
doubt that he will voluntarily return, and
that il was his intention to return when he
left. There is, ps yet, no satisfactory evl-
dence that he has committed perjury.
The President has directed that an ogent
he despatched to Mexico to obta in such Facts
in the Gardiner and other cnses ms may be
useful in nm investigation or trial. If the
law establishing the Bonrd had provided tor
Solicitor to obtain testimony in every case,
in Mexico, there would be less di1fci'ty on.
| tho subject now, hut the proposition was
made anS defeated in Congress. The irln'
cannot take place for some months. because
evidence must be obtained from Mexico,

they make O noise like a windmill. The
