MEssRs. EDITORS In the report of j. Ross
browne, Esq, which was published in your col
umns yesterday, there were statements made az
emana'ing from our firm, which l consider it nv
Soty 70 correct that the facts as they exist may
De fully known, and the rights of others be un-
Pfeludlced by an sex parte" report.
IL is true, as was stated in the document above
re reierred 10, that purchased from Mr.. Charles r.
hlce, IN August last, portion of his ella m stua-
eeo upon the former Military Reservation of Fort
oneiinY, Tor the sum OF ST 1927, or about $50 per
acre. But the price that paid was no criterion
% JuGge OF the general value of lands upon the
saia reservation, as Mr.. Browne has assumed ir
70 be, Tor the land which purchased was at least
SIX tunes more valuable than any other that wa,
SOLO, as 1t had been cultivated for years, and had
upon it. ~-''A''
MI. browne also states from information which
he Gays was received from Mr.. L. W. Packard. INV
present partner, that did not compete for tho
lano onered at the sale, from g. fear of personal
0ssdu" or more serious consequences.' In this re-
Spect, also, Mr. Browne is much mistaken as
ne Is IN other statements which he has m,dc in
TINS report, as was furtherest from nv thoughts
20 70 o1d upon the land, considering as [ did, that
those who had made the claims, cultivated and
resided upon them for years, and in many instan-
ces had expended their all in mprovements-wer
emitted 10 their claims, and thats would be doing
them great wrong to bill against them. Such
were the views have no hestancy in saying of
all who attended the sale; and it was this reason,
united with the fact that did not consider tho
greater orion Of the tract sold, worth much more
IMAM the minimum price, that deferred me from
bidding, not from fear Of personal assault or more
serious consequences; as, from an extensive ae-
qnilntancc among the claimants, know them to
be a law abiding people.
In regard to the ''pfotest,' which figures largely
IN the Report, would state that it was mere ly to
prevent the transfer of patent, and not intended
IN any manner to affect the ratifying of the sale
of the Military Reservation.
do not wish to be understood as imputing dis
honorable motives to Mr.. Browne, as have no
doubt but that he is actin. conscentously in the
matter, but must be allowed to say that he has
been grossly m:sled by mere rumors.

A Card from Gov Gormon

EDITORS MlSNEsorIAS :-SIRs: Your correspon-
dent from Galena, says ssGorman and Rosser
through the Aid of Robert j. Walkers and
Gothre's II an, J.Ross Browne, have been endeav-
orng to rip up the reserve land sales of last Sep
tcmber." This is wholly without foundation as
MIR. Browne never consulted with me on the SUBJ
ject, nor did he mention it in my presence to my
recollection. l think the same result would be
produced at Fifty other land sales of said lands,
unless the Government would use force, and even
then, doubt whether any man would offer to bid
against an actual settler. But must be allowed
to say that believe Mr.. Brownies action in the
matter has been in accord ,nde with his honest
convictions of public duty. As great injustice is
done me by your correspondent, l will thank
you to publish this note.

CW No piece of news was ever carried such a
vast distance in short a time as was the death
of the Emperor of Russia. 1t took place at noon
on the Cd of March, and in an hour or two, it
was known in nearly every part of the European
March, the Africa sailed from Liverpool with the
news. She reached Halifax at noon on the 18th.
and by the close of that day, there was scarcely
town in the United States where the great event
was not known. Thirteen days had suficed to-
carry the intelligence over the two continents and
one broad ocean. There was never a more strik-
ing illustration Of the wonderful working of elec.
