H As usual, the correspondents of the
New York Herald are misrepresenting the
american Organ A writer over the sigma
ture of "Don," whose letter is published in
the Herald, perpetrated the following: The
Organs candidate (for Clerk IL Nathan Sdr-
gent"
Our readers and friends all know that the
above statement is wholly untrue. The Organ
has no candidate for Clerk. Among the several
gentlemen heretofore named for that post,
Messrs. Cullom, Sargent Boteler, Wilson, and
Bryce the Organ has given no preference, nor
has ita right to give any. We fight forprincipks
and not for individuals We have not inter-
fered and shall not interfere with members Of
Congress in making their selections for House
officers They ought not to allow any inter-
ference, If we were foolish enough to attempt
any.

ReedeT and whitfield.

The Boston Journal copies our article, sug-
costing mode Of settling the question of the
eligibility of the two delegates from the Terri
tory Of Kansas, and says:
Although we should prefer to see Reeder ad-
mitted as the true Representative of the actual
settlers in Kansas yet in view of the informalty in
the manner of his election, we are inclined to think
that the proposed method Of elictng legal and
fair expression of the win of the people Of that
Territory would be the most eIpedient, under the
circumstances"
The plan we suggested, was to send both
Reeder and Whitfield back; and, in the mean
time, enact a law defining the qualifications of
voters in the Territories, SO that the election
would take place under the operation of law
of Congress, which would set forth clearly the
qualifications Of the Territorial electors.

The following exquisite poem, by William Pitt
Pammer, was some years ago pronounced by
one Of the most eminent European critics, to be
the finest production of the same length in our
language:
From the auickened womb Of the primal gloom,
The sun rolled black and bare
III Eove him vest for his Ethiop breast
VI tns threads Of my golden hair gt
And when the broad tent Of the fsmament
Arose on its airy spars, r u.
psnciled the hue Of its matchIess blus
And spsngied it ronnd with stars .z. f.
painted the flowers Of the Eden bowers
And their leaves Of living green, N
And mine were the dyes in the sinless eyas
OF Eden's virgin queen;
And when the fsnds art on the trustful heart
Had fastened its mortal spell
In the silveFy sphere of the first-born tear
To the trembling earth fell.
When the waves that burst o;er a world accurssd.
Their work Of wrath had sped
And the Ark's lone few, tried and true,
Came forth among the dead;
va With the wondrous CLEANS Of my bridal bearas
bade their terrors cease,
AsIw on the roll Of the storms dark scroll,
1oas covenant OF peace.
Like pail at rest on senseIeas breast.
Nights funeral shadow slept
Their lonely vigils Kept
When flashed on their sight the heralds bright
VI heavens redeeming plan,
As they chanted the morn of Saviour born
Joy,joy, to the outeast man.
Equal favor show to the lofty and low,
On the just and unjust descend
E'ep the blind whose vain spheres roll in darkness
and tears, E
Feel my smile the blest smile OF a friend
Nay the flower of the by my love is embrac ed
AS the roses in the garden of kings (:
At the chrysslis bier Of the worm appear
And 10 the gay butterfy's wings.
The desoate Morn, like mourner foriorr
Coneeals all the pride OF her charms
Vili bid the cta
flowers, - ="
And lead the Young day to her arma;
And when the gay rover seeks Eve for his lover
And sinks to her balmy repose u =
wrapt the soft rest by the zephyr-fauued west
In curtains of amber and rose =
From my sentinel steep by the night -booded deep
gaze with unslumbering eye 81 ~
When the cynosure star Of the mariner
1} Is biotted from out the sky; gg
And guided by me through the merciless sea-
Though sped by the hurricanes wings;
His compassless dark lone weltering bark,
To the haven home safely he brings.
waken the flowers in their dew-spaneled bowers
The birds in their chambers of green,
And mountain and plain glow with beauty again
AS they bask in their matinal sheen.
o, such the glad worth Of my presence to earth
Though ftful and heeting the while,
What glories must rest on the home of the blest,
Ever bright with the Deity's smile.

Later from Texas.

The steamship Perseverance, Capt. Talbot,
arrived yesterday from Galveston, bringing
papers to Saturday last. We find very little
news. The San Antonio Texan of the 9Th
says:
Last week several horses were stolen from
Capt. Mcclellan, and from tracks and other
discoveries they were no doubt taken by In.
dians. Another person had already lost all his
horses but one, and believing that his claim
was good for that one, he had him staked
directly under the window, SO he could not
move six feet from the house. After the hus-
band had retired, the wife still remained near
the window, with an eye occasionally on the
horse There were also two large dogs sta
toned at each corner Of the house While thus
guarded, the horse was taken away without
being discovered.
The Texan has letter from Franklin, Texas,
giving the following particulars of the recent
robbery of the Customhouse in that place,
which is near Ell Paso:
Last night gang of robbers, who have been
hanging around US for few days, headed by
the celebrated parsonage Of that character,
"Jack Gordon who served for several years
as an Apache chief, and the last four or five
years as highway robber, broke into the office
of the Collector of Customs (Mr. Sherman's) of
this post of entry and applied powder to the key
hole to force the lock. 1t had no effect except
to awaken the inhabitants. No one got up to
see what was the matter, as they supposed it
was pistol or rifle went off accidentally They
quietly applied another force, and the lock
yielded. They took out over $4,000, about $500
Of which belonged to your fellow -townsman,
DR.. j. H. Lyons; $500 to the American Consul
at Ell Paso-all placed there for safe keeping.
The balance belonged to the United States.
