Arkansas true Democrat., 1857-07-21

CEF- The editor of the Arkansaw Traveller was evidently suffering from the sting of that |" bee in his bonnet' last week, when he pen ned his notice of our article on the operations of the present swamp land laws. We took occasion to present to the public a condensed statement of facts and figures, without even mentioning the name of the Traveller therein, when straightway the voracious editor "comes att us, and threatens, in his own peculiar phra- seology, to ''eat up'' our article, in his next issue. Ye Gods! and is there naught that can stay his stomach, CT appease his wrath? How we sLuIder-not for ourself, but for our arti- cle We little dreamed that it would meet so melancholy fate when we ventured, 7Citb- out conSutiHg Afna, to write 1t; but now, we can only hope that he will be able to digest it with out serious damage to hmself--for we do en- certain for him the most af.ctionate re gard. He says he expected official information-not editorial" Well, if he means by "oiicial'' in formation that which is reliable we will state for his benefit that the information which we gave was "of1icia" :" as far as given on our own knowledge, and as far as given on that of the auditor we believe it to be true. If such is not the case the auditor can and would correct the statement furnished us from the books in his ofice But the editor of the Traveller k,ao1cs the statement is reliable. and hence his talk about "of1icial information" His insi- nuation to the contrary might ftly emanate from more unworthy source. He deprecates a controversy with the True Democrat on this subject. We assure him that there will be no controversy between the Traveller and the De- mocrat on this or any other subect--uness at his choice-nor would this paragraph be writ ten but for the article in his last number We would state however, that if he expects in anywise to nluzzle us, or to deter us from giving the people such information of the workings of the swamp land laws as we believe they desire he will find himself cgregiousy mista- ken. His threatening to prove our article bitter pill" to us is perfectly gratuitous, and passes by us Gas the idle wind which we re- spoot net." We neither oppose nor defend the swamp land laws, farther than is necessary. If we dil oppose them we would go farther than the Traveller and prove the sincerity of our opposition by specifying some system, which, in our opinion, would have been better than the present. The difference, then, be- tween our course and that pursued by the editor of the Traveller is. that whilst we eu- deayor to place before the people all the infor- mation we can in relation to the workings of the swamp land laws he blindIy opposes the whole of them, and either cannot or will not point out better system.

Tha Overland Mail to California

The Washington Union, of the lst ust con tains the following announcements:
 The postmaster general, with thoapprobaa of the President has selected the follow route for conveying the overland m Ii, to Cti lorna, to wit: Begiuningat SJ. Louis and Men pms, on the Mississippi river; theuce forming junction at Little Rock, in the S.t,s of Ars saS; thence in the direction of Preston to u RIo Gfaade, at the most suitable crossing | that river, near Fort Fillmore. on Donna Aal | thence along the new road BOW ben. ma. under the direction of the Secretary of the h terior to Fort Yuma; thence by the best pa,,i and through the best valleys for safe and ez a dltlous stagjngs to San Francisco. In view of the prices bid and the suppose aoiIIty qualifications and experience of a...l parties, the Postmaster General has. als0 vi. the appreciation ct the President, given the c'. tract to John Butterfeld, WiIHam B. Dnsm l Wm. C. Fargo, James V. F. Gardner Ac | qUlS <. hinyon, Alexander Holland, of Ae' York, and Hamilton Spencer, of Illinois d. ,-' price of S595, ,OU0 for semi-weeklv service.
 The Union, in an editorial notice oi ta Postmaster Generals action on this subject, re marks:
 This whole subject, in all its bearings was matter ol the greatest importance to every r" oi the country. Indeed, we doubt whe.ad there will be any measure which can come Ot' ! tore the administration for its action and te Y son having more important relations to 'A' wants, interests, and material cnuvaaielle ,' all the States. The Postmaster Gauera. la. ! understood the magnitude of the measure. A' has bestowed upon it the most patient anl Ie..- severng labor. His examinations and iuye't gations have been long and laborious to enag.' him to arrive at proper and satisfactory result His decision being made, the President, ai,' equal patient examination, has approved lt, aa' it goes forth with the sanction of the adm!-' tration.
 The Postmaster General has, we donbt n'1 been most fortunate in selecting the gentlell'- who are members of those powerful eXPfa'' companies, whose means, energy, and eHl' rience are equal to any emergency to assl', n'- in carrying this great measure into full anu 'D, cessful effect. The success of the enterW'' will lead to the most important consequeuesH looking far Into the future, and bearing mos emphatically upon the interests of the AtaaH' and Pacific States.
