THE MISSING TREAsURE.-Of the recovery Of

remarks:
The prospect Of a recovery Of the treasure.

impossible. is not without grounds OF Justification
1t may be quite ont Of the question with our pre-
sent means and knowledge but the existence of
SO large an amonnt Of treasure in any known
spot under the ocean. or under the earth. Will be
likely to tempt Yankee ingenuity and cupidity to
make trial at least for its recovery. The sci
ence of submarine explorations is being brought
to great perfection in our country and England,
and if it be known that within limits so clearly
defined those Of the Gulf Stream. and some
where about the drgree OF latitude which the
masters Of the vessels that relieved the Central
America will be allie to fix, her hull lies SO many
lathons deep, We may be pretty sure that some
time within the next five or ten years the skill of
man will surmount present obstacles suGic .rutly

will probably be tue strong currents of the Gulf

a few days since in looking over the Washing

Postmaster az Tuscumbia, Alabama. We arr
sure that his Te-appointment will give great
satisfaction to all having dealings with th'
Tuscumbia Office. We doubt whether there il
a more efficient officer in the Postofice De
p~sTtment than this gentleman. He is reliable
In every respect, bears a high character for in
tegrity, and is a man Of decided talents, ant
one of the best Democrats on top Of ground
Col. Bunch is assisted in his responsible an,
arduous duties by Capt. J. w. Rhes, who i
equally as clever, efficient and honest as him
self. Cap. Rhea has long been a dray-hors
pulling for his party, and his usefulness, talen
and high-toned integrity should command 70
him a high place in the confidence of the Ad
ministration. We hazard nothing in saYin
that the postofice at Tuscumbia, under th
management Of Col. Bunch and J. w. Rhes
has given more general satisfaction than an
distributing Office in the South where the pay
SO small.
With surprise and regret the people in thi
part of the State have learned that an effol

from Tuscumbia to Chattanooga, or some il

OF OPINION.

We thank our friends Of the Grenada (Miss.)
PeDubIicaH and the Locomotive, for their very
able and well-timed articles on the subject OF
the proposed indictment OF the editors and
proprietors Of the Eagle and Enquirer for libel.
We shall endesvor to make room for their ar
ticles, or copious extracts from them, at an
early daY. The press and the people have
spoken out with singular unanimity on thls
subject, and, We are happy to say, they are az
on eur Side.-Eagle and Enquirer.
We should have long since frankly expressed
our conviction of the error into which Judge
McKIEKEAN has been led in directing the in
dictment against the Eagle and Enquirer for
libel, had we supposed that the matter would
ever come to an issue in our Courts. We sup
pose that the direction was given in a moment
Of haste aid Impotence, and "'the sober second
thought'' Of the Judge himself will dictate to
him to refrain from making such an issue. II
be does not, however, it win appear upon the
trial that the Press has rights as sacred and as
strongly fortified by The Constitution asthe Jn-
dietary itself, and that an intelligent jury of
the people, while they would not brook any
infringement upon the latter, viii never consent
to see the former stifed and gagged.
The grapamsa Of the Eagle and EnquireT's
oHense, as we understand it, was the publica-
ton Of an endorsed communication expressing
the conviction that the courts Of the country
are not doing their whole duty in the matter OF
criminal trials.
Whether this opinion be correct or erroneous
the question is whether it is an Ofense against
our laws for a free press to declare it. Is the
judiciary so sacred that its supposed abuses
cannot be referred to without mourning a lega
penalty By the press Of the country OF by any
freemen to whom is guaranteed the right o
free speech? Cannot opinion be allowed it
course with respect to our judicial tribunal
without the Intervention of criminal prosecu
tiOns? An upright Judiciary should silenc
censure BY a pure and impartial course, not b,
such means as would overthrow the freedom
Of opinion. We are not an advocate for bringin
the judicial decisions Of the country to the bar Q
public opinion. But much is due to that opinio
when it chooses to investigate alleged corruI
tiOns, malfeassnees or neglects on the part {
judicial officers. It should be respected, nc
prosecuted OF prosecuted. It should be lei
free to sustain itself, or fall according to tn
truth or falsity Of its charges. This is con
mon sense, and We aPprehend it to be %cOnstitl
tionsl law too. Our constitutions all declal
that no act can be passed by our Legislature
to abridge the freedom Of speech or Of the pres
And when the learned Judges Of the land con
to investigate The matter, We imagine, the
viii wisely come TO the conclusion that frsedo
Of opinion touching the functions Of all dePar
ments of the Government, is more strongly i
trenched than any other right whatever
should be SO because this freedom is the Ii
blood Of our Government.
