We understand that Mr.. Denton was cha'eng
ed to meet citizen of this place (iichmondl in
discussion, after he had vauntingly thrown down
defiance to ANY ONE in whom the orthodox Chris
tians had confidence. and after being Informed
through hi, friends, that the gentleman Who gave
the challenge would be sustained by the orthodox
churches he let discretion prove the better part
of vaor, and took the G-st ain for DlytOn.-
This was covardy, bat still only coavinres us
that the gentleman is unwilling to pat himself
through the ordeal which, il is presumed by some,
he would pass, before closing the controversy -

We would respectfully ask, Messrs- Editors, who
are the followers of Nj Denton: II his friends
believe and practice the doctrine of BE Ibyseit,
he has no followers The why his friends raise an
objection for him 10 discuss with whom the char
ches wont endorse" is not much on that ac-
count as for SEINE other reasons Il is not for the
churches alone TO decide who Is respectable and
who is not There IS a certain reginIsseuce ~ the
niads of some Of Mr.. Deutons friends that mi ght
have more influence with them than al endorse
ment from any one Qlery: II lady vas not
treated in public with THAI fairness, truthfdlaesS
and decorirn due from . person calling himself a
gentleman sustained BY the Christian ChHrch
es what guarantee have we that gentleman
would receive any better treatment. None what
ever: especially. whom the churches wont
or will endorse lac .or1ns to previous testimony
i not at all probable progress but sticks close
IL TO old fogyisn Wonder if whom The chgrcL
g wont or will endorse fas the case may be- sup
posed Mr.. Denton took the first train for Day
ton TO avoid discussion that perhaps he never
contemplated Astonis ing =. Really" Why
surely there Is self esteem in the ma ter tnan

Denton, went home To see his family, anf get re4-
DIV for another discussion else where.

v We have no disposition to pitch il 10
a discussion relative as to who are the followers
of Mr.. Denton" according to his pecnlifr notions
in regard to variety in mind" well as 10 every
thing ese Sc as to conform to nature but We
did most clearly and distinctly understand Mr. D.
that to " Be Thyself man must act accord
ng to Tie promptings Of his o,cn heart and con-
science, and, hence, argued that (if the JEFF 3
statements were true about the challenge. * J
it ought to make 10 difference with Mr.. Denton
or his followers or Friends If Simple Truth
is better satisfied with that term tho what
kind of character he was brought il contact

say, endorsed the jeff gentleman sufficient

the 3Oth day OF April This does include side tracks
about three hundred feet laid on the second division
BY thus finishing wenty-fiy miles of their road the

The initial point of the track is Mt Virginia Point six
miles from the city of Galveston the next station being
at Dickinson Bayou, 1873 miles from Virginia Point and
named llilsburg Station, The next station is at Clear
Creek, 81 miles beyond Isbug and is named Franklin
Station, after Judge f Franklin Of Galveston the ter

from Harrisburg.
The road between Virginia Point and the terminus being
an air line, with light grades, wil when connexion
made with Harrisburg and Houston which will be by No

ton between these points and the city of Galveston thus
aording the interior towns already connected by railway
with Houston and Harrisburg direct and speedy commun

The road, SO far az completed, is regarded by expe

and substantial manner and the reputation Of their Chief
engineer, James Converse esq il sufficient guarantee
that 1T will be done in such manner
The company have, by the completion of the twenty

supposed to be in starving condition The guns which
have been taken away from them in their late fights
in worthless condition, stocked by themselves, with
the barrels and the flint tied into the hammer and it is
said that they will miss fire nine times out Of ten The

SECRETARY STANTON.

We have heretofore given the address Of Acting
Governor Stanton to the people Of Kansas Territory
place in our columns. The following remarks Of
the New York Daily News are so just and proper in
themselves, and entirely due to Secretary Stanton,
that have pleasure in giving them to our readers
We take occasion to say too that what purports to
be report Of the remarks made by him in public
speech to the people of the Territory, given by
correspondent in the Cincinnati Gazette, is wanton
perversion and Justification of what he did say But
this is but another page in that foul chapter of false
hood and misrepresentation which has been 80 sys-
tematicay and perseveringly prepared by the black
republicans of Kansas.
letter received in this city authorizes us to make
this contradiction and expect to have it in our
power in few days to publish a correct report of
his speech on the occasion referred to-
KANSAS. SECRETARY srANroS.--We give in another
column the address of the Hon. II. p Stanton, acting
governor of Kansas, to the people of that Territory
The severe comments upon it by the black republi-
can press charging upon him hostility to the freeState
interest and a complete alliance with the pro-slavery
force WILL persa of this address, be found to be ut
tey untrue and without shadow OF foundation what
He recognises the territorial government as the
only ghtful authority at present. and holds the balance
evenly between the two contendng interests, win,
doubtless Gov Walker in his first message to the in
habitns Of the Territory and urges the justice and the
necessity of submitting the questions in dispute the
formation of their constitution to the fair and unbiased
opinion of the people themselves
THEY must decide the question for themselves, and
while Secretary Stanton well Governor Walker, is
determined that justice and equity shall be preserved and
every have free expression of his opinion through the
baotbox, they will be found both equally determined
that that opinion and decision whatever it may be- shall
be sustained Justice and fairness is all that is pretended
to be asked and that may rest assured the admins

hazards We commend the address to which have

AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.


The Patriot referring to the few remarks made by Mr.
Bell at the night session of the know nothing convention
recently assembled in this city, says
:" He announced what will be gratifying to our friends
in all sections of the Satcaye in all sections Of the
Unonthat it is his intention to participate in the con-
test whenever and wherever may be deemed necessary
The democracy will find that he is prepared to give as
well as receive blows and, we will add when one Of
their champions shall encounter him. be lie Saxon or
Saracen Richard or Saadin Bell will 'crush his casque
lie is fully alive to the importance of the final struggle
for the mastery and the democracy will find that he has
lost none of his power
We can assure our opponents that the announcement
will not be more gratifying to their party than to
We have time and again, in their behalf invited the
ISSUE and in such that Mr. Bell could not well
have declined All that have now to ask is that he
will not reconsider his declared intention before the time
arrives
The Patriots language warrants the belief that Mr.
Bell is willing to have democratic champion encounter
him That is as 1t should be- Give us an open field and
fair fight We think anticipate the democratic
masses of Tennessee, and that there will be universal
shout for Andrew Johnson from all portions of the State
as their champion in the tourney We do not know that
Gov Johnsons engagements will admit of his partici
patng in the canvass but do know that il it required
of him. and is not incompatible with other duties he
will not hesitate to meet the lion in his PATH and
shake him by the name and if there is any harm result
ing from it, will not charge them with IT,
We repeat again that trust Mr. Bell win not
slider his present intention
