II will be gratifying to the friends of Lieut..
+. I. Beale to learn that his accounts, as super
intendent Of Indian Affairs in California, have
been brought to final and satisfactory settle.
ment by the accounting officers of the Treasury
Department.
1t was stated in the newspapersthat he was
dismissed for male6cience. This final settle. :
mem by the proper officers will be satistac
tory to those who do not-personally know
him. Those who do, never for moment be-
lieved him to be capable of an act unworthy of
an honorable man or of the reputation he had
earned by long, faithful, and successful service
to his country

yesterday afternoon the United States.
Marshal, Ii. II. Robinson, arrelted Ton the ail-
davt OF the energetic United States gent,
w. j. Brown, of Indianapolis a young man of
this city, named William G. Gano, upon the
charge of abstracting from the post Office letters

bag A letter from q prominent and inhueu-
tial gentleman, who has until now always acted
with the Wing party, and signalised himself by
ardent zeal and active service, but who has
been driven by Know-nothingism into the De-
mocratic ranks, gives cheering account Of the
prospects of our party in Franklin county, Vir,
ginia, and the whole contiguous region The
writer says:
"We had an enthusiastic meeting of the De-
mocracy and anti-Know-nothings at last court,
an account of which you will no doubt see in
the Virginia papers. | don't think it is exae-
Grafton to say the county will elect Democrats
to the Legislature sure, and give Bocock 200
majority Tor Congress. The Democratic meet
ing spoken of was called for the purpose of
making county nominations and adopting a
system OF organization for the pending canvass.
You never saw such enthusiasm as pervaded
the opposition to the new Order
\
"The know-nothings were the bluest look
ing men on Tuesday morning after court |
ever saw. The Withdrawals since have been
not one, two, or three, but legion aud still they
come. When you come to Franklin, you will
be surprised to hear who have been caught in
this Yankee Abolition trap. But Bocock is
equal to Norman Ia great revivalist) in the art
OF bringing sinners to repentance. If / were
| to commence giving you the names of your
friends Who have been duped and bamboozled
by this mammoth humbug, my sheet would
fail me-"
Il feel as anxious to see the Know-nothings
| beaten in Franklin as | did to see the Demo
| Gratis beaten when | was long.tongued Clay
Whig do hope this Yankee humbug will be
rebuked in Virginia-routed, horse, foot, and
| dragoons-killed so dead as never again to be
galvanized into life. How Notifying to think
the noble old Wing party, Of which used to
be proud, and to which its enemies ever con-
coded responsibility for talents, for numbers,
and for magnanimity of bearing, should de.
scend so low for the sake of Office as to aban-
don its cherished principles, and even its time
honored name, and fuse itself into this dark
lantern Order The reflection is too painful to
dwell on"
