BLACK MA1L.-We have been some
what annoyed since establishing ourself
here, by numerous letters from what is
called the New York Circle of Cores
pondence," asking the privilege of fur
nishing us with regular correspondence
from that city. The object to be gained
by this gratuitous service of the " Circle
is too discreditable for us to permit ourself
to contribute in any manner to its success.
In addition to little hashed up city news,
taken second hand from the city papers,
the letters contained little else than puffs
of some persons, establishments or corpo-
rations, and malicious Misrepresentation
of others. Those who pay we'll are rep.
resented in the most glowing colors, and
those who do not are belied in proportion
to their ability to pay black mails for the
Circle to say nothing. We cannot consent
to be made the instrument of these YAM
pires in their discreditable undertaking,
and must respectfully beg to be excused
from publishing their correspondence
We are sorry to see that some of our ed,
itorial brethren have fallen, unawares, in.
to the trap.

!. 20 we See bY tle FOLLOWING from the

IL we see Dy the following lIoh tue
Romney Argus that steps are being taken
to thoroughly organize the Democratic
party in that county. Cannot Harrison
do likewise /?
How Shall il BE!
So far as we have been able to learn
the true sentiment of the Democrats OF
Hampshire, not one Dissenting voice has
been heard about organization. The on
ly issue is in regard to the manner. We
at first proposed q general mass meeting
to be held at Romney. To this sugges-
ton many cordially assented. Since the
first suggestion of this kind in the Argus,
we have received numerous eommunica-
tons in relation to the matter, all urging
a mass meeting to be held in each pre-
cinct TO appoint delegates to convention
to be held at some subsequent time in
Romney. We have been rejecting ON the
subject. The result of either mode is the
samoa general convention, But the
manner of effecting this result may be a
question. We are inclined to favor the
meeting in the different precincts. Let
there be mass meeting called in each
for every five Democratic voters in said
precincts, let one delegate be appointed
to a general convention. This will give
an equal representation, and will be the
means of getting some two hundred and
fifty delegates appointed to said conven-
ton. Some urge as an objection to this
method, that some precincts always fail
to send delegates, and further, that some
delegates when appointed fail, from some
cause, to attend. These are stubborn
facts, and cannot be denied. But we do
hope that the time has come when such
wanton Indifference is no more to be
charged upon the Democrats of Hamp
shire. A system of discipline ought to
be instituted. And he who becomes de-
relict in his duty towards the literal full
flment of that system of discipline, should
be looked upon with no little distrust by
his party. The bitter and Notifying
fruits of division, should induce us to
adopt some system by which happy
union might be effected. We have given
up our first impressions in relation to the
means of effecting general convention.
We hope others will be equally prompt in
yielding to the persuasive arguments of
those who think differently from them

that your mode is the better one, surprise
him by coinciding with his views. We
hope we shall hear unanimous response
to our suggestion as to precinct meetings.
If SO, then we further suggest that the
general Convention be held on the second
Saturday in February. We desire to
see such unanimity as will strike terror to
the Wings. They are confidently antici-
pating an easy victory. But let us be
united and the victory is ours. Then
act. Act as band of brothers centend-
ing for family right.

on Wednesday. There were present the
Secretary of the Navy and the Postmas-

Seward, and others.
To a brief address by Kossuth, the
President replied in substance as fol-
lows:
81 am happy, Governor Kossuth, to
welcome you to this land of freedom and
it gives me pleasure to congratulate you
upon your release from long eonfne-
ment in Turkey, and your safe arrival
here. AS an individual, sympathised
deeply with you in your brave struggle
for the independence and freedom of y Our
native land. The American people can
never be Indifferent to such contest, but
our policy as nation in this respect has
been uniform, from the commencement Of
our government, and my own views, as
the Chief Executive Magistrate of this ma
ton, are fully and freely expressed in my
recent message to Congress, to which you
have been pleased to allude. They are
the same, whether speaking to Congress
here, or to the nations of Europe.
"Should your country be restored to
independence and freedom, should then
wish you--as the greatest blessing you
could aniOu-a rastOration IN yO,,r n q fiya

can only repeat my welcome to you and

Gods blessing may rest upon you wher-

tered into conversation in regard to the
present condition of Hungary and the

being conducted with mutual cordiality

IMPORTANT FROM THE RIO GRANDE.-
NelO Orl"~nS, Dec. 24.-By an arrival
from the Rio Grande we have Brownsville
dates to the Sd inst, which state that
General Carvajal had attacked the Next
can General Janrequi, who had fortified
himself strongly at Ceralvo, and, after
hard fighting for two days, had succeed
ed in taking the whole town, or nearly so,
and driving the Mexicans into their for
tilted houses, where they are completely
penned up. The Mexicans lost all their
provisions and ammunition.
Gen. Carvajal had ten killed in the bat
tie including Lieut.. Graham and Capt.
Chinel; Capt. Wheat was also severely
wounded.
The Mexican loss was very severe, and
included all the Seminole Indians and
their leader. wild Cat was their lea
der.)
AT the latest dates from Carvajal he
was about to attack the Mexicans in their
position, and if successful, would, it was
thought, be able to enter Monterey with.
out opposition.

Mr.. WEBSTER LEAVING THE CABINET.
The Washington Telegraph of last eve
ming says:
There has been frequently rumors Of
late, that Mr.. Webster would shortly
leave the Cabinet, bearing in mind his cell
ebrated inquiry, Where shall I 90 ?" we
have attached but little importance to
these stories. The recent undisguised
attacks upon his foreign policy in the
government organs, do indeed indicate a
desire on the part of the administration to
get rid of him. The Kossuth resolu-
tons, which were introduced at the last,
and present session on Mr.. Webster's re-
commentator is significant. Judging
from the difficulty which Mr.. Tyler had,
to get rid of Mr.. w. it is questionable
whether even this will force him out o.
the Cabinet. For much as he loves Eng.
land, he loves office more.

The Governor ELECT.

Col. Joseph Johnson, our popular and
excellent Governor elect, arrived on Sat
urday night in the northern cars, which
in consequence of the heavy ice on the
Potomac and the sleet on the Railroad,
did not reach Richmond until half past 10
p. NJ. Before encountering the ice on
the Potomac, he had to brave the cold and
storms of the Allegheny. He has taken
lodgings at the Exchange. He is in fine
health and spirits-and no one can con-
verse with him, without being impressed
with the modesty, simplicity, high bear
ing, sagacity and good sense of the man,
and the purity of the patriot. But little
time has been left to him, to prepare his
message-but we feel convinced that its
strong views and wise recommendations
will fully compensate the exertions of his
friends, and that he will throughout prove
Governor worthy to guide the helm of
Virginia on her new and promising voy-
age. On Thursday next he will take the
oath of Office and enter upon his duties as
Governor, under the election by the Leg
islature. The new General Assembly

THE ORDER OF THE LONE SrAR,-The
New Orleans correspondent of the Mobile
Tribune gives the following account of a
new order lately established in the South
West:
"This formidable association, which
has sprung up within few months, al
ready numbers numerous lodges in this
city, and is stretching its arm of brother
hood throughout the South and Vest
1t is estimated that within year this Sc
cret order will number thirty thousand /;
embracing within its ranks, men of the
first talent, standing and wealth in the
country. Their treasury is already strong
and fund is accumulated at their dispo-
sal that will soon be counted at hundreds
of thousands. They make no secret of
their objects, but declare by printed con-
situations, and otherwise, that the design
of their organization is to extend the area
of liberty. There can be no doubt that
their ultimate intentions, point to the over
throw of Spanish American sovereignty
and the annexation of Cuba to the United
States, or to its independence, as sepa-
rate republican government. With the
"snews of war; at their command, men
without number, the synpathies of the
slave States in their favor, and The highly
mercurial and martial spirit of the South
to second their efforts, a demonstration
may be made that will astonish the world
The end is yet to be seem"

THE SADDLE PUT UPON TIE RIGHT Horse.
ALL our readers arc doubtless familiar
with the following sentence:
Equal and exact justice to all men, of
whatever State or persuasion, religious or
political; peace, commerce, and honest
friendship with all nations, entangling al
liances with none"
We, and we are disposed to think the
large majority of our readers, have al
ways believed that these were the words
of Washington. The New York Express
has set us right in that particular They
were uttered by Thomas Jefferson in his
inaugural address delivered 4th of March
1901. Their author reiterated the seuti-
ment which they contain in his second in
augural, March, 1905. The words and
the sentiments are worth their weight in
gold.
The editor of the Express says he has
run through all the messages from Wash
ington to Fillmore, and has found no war;
rant in any of them for interfering with
the affairs of foreign governments,
