ORvILLE JENNINGS, Eso.-The following extract is from the letter of gentleman to the editor:
 Why have you not noticed Orville's letter in the Hampstead Democrat? You have treat ed him rather cavalierly. He wishes to be mar tyred and you wont do the business for him. You have more forbearance than 1 have, for could not have resisted giving him one rap over the knuckles.''
 We have said of MT. Jennings all that was necessary to vindicate oursef His letter, a medley of friendly professions and of bitter re- breaches, was unworthy our notice. It was wholly destitute of sincerity and we had no reply to make. We could not withdraw the language we had applied to him-both the manner and matter of his letter precluded that and we had no desire to reiterate it. If MT. Jennings is satisfied with his appeal to the pub lie, we have no right to complain. His letter, so labored and so palpably insncere, has only served to confirm the opinion We previously en- tertained of him.

NEWS FROM NEW ORLEANs.-The price of cotton is, at last, advancing. We believe it will now continue steadily to rise until it reaches eleven or twelve cents. The crop will be a short one, and the demand will be great, and there will be nothing to prevent prices from rising.
 Our latest information from New Orleans is, that most of the leading commission houses and nearly all of the smaller ones have suspen- ded. This will be welcome news in view of the fact that, in their struggles to redeem their pa per, they have depressed and continued to de- press, the price of the staple. In their efforts to meet their engagements, they have not only sacrificed themselves but also the planters They have pressed cotton upon the market and, to raise means to keep themselves up for a few days, have submitted to sales at ruilous prices.
 But they have suspended, and we think cot ton will now go up. There will be no further occasion to sacrifice the planter

THE NAPOLEON PosT 0FFICE.-We under stand George E. Mayson, esq, has been reconl- mended 10 the Department for the appointment of Post Master at Napoleon. If Mir Mayson will give the office his personal attention, as We be- lieve he will, if appointed, lie would make an efficient post master and his appointment would give general satisfaction.
 Our article few weeks ago upon the subject of the Napoleon Post office, in which the peo pie of this State have so deep an interest," seems to have very much offended the fastidious little editor and patent medicine vendor at that place. We are sorry we have no apology to offer him. We are perfectly willing that he should make all the capital he can out of the charge against us of an attempt to dictate to the citizens of Napoleon" His charge against us of dictation and his patent medicines comprise his stock in trade, and we would not rob him of one cent of his profits. If he can induce the citizens of Napoleon" to believe the one and buy the other, which he will find it difficult to do he will, doubtless, drive thriving business.

Washington News.

Washinglon, January 4-The Washington Union says that it is quite clear that tbe breaL. Ing up of Gen. Walkers expedition was the very result contemplated by previous instruction though the mode may have been in conflict with Commodore Paulding's instructions. It is not probable that the instruction contemplated my landing of forces on Nicaraguan soil Also, it is not probably that the Administration will complain of the aggression. The Union further aays that the policy of the President as enun- ciated in the message, will undoubtedly be pur- uued relative to Nicaragua. The article through out is non-committal as to the course the admin istration intend to pursue with regard to Paul ilings course.

0T Gov. Wise, of Virginia, in one of his three messages at the opening of the Legisla- ture, excuses himself for emitting the custom ary acknowledgment of the divine goodness, because State ought not to interfere in reli- gious matters. The Governor says:
 Politics and religion ought not in any way to be brought into contact. They pollute and destroy each other. Two of the worst evils of the times are political religion and religious pol- t,tlcs: I am constituted and appointed to han dle Gods holy things, and will not dare by- pocrlcally and cantingly to huckster them in the market of popularity

THE POWER OF CONGRESS TO TAX BANK NoTEs.-Mr Gallatin held that this powar was clearly vested in Congress. In his "Considera- tons upon the Currency and Banking System of the United States," page 75, edition of 1921, he says:
 Congress has the power to lay stamp duties on notes, on bank notes, and upon any descrin. ton of bank notes. That power has already been exercised; and the duties may be laid to such an amount and in such manner as may be necessary to effect the object intendel. This object Is not merely to provide generally for the general welfare, but to carry into effect in con. formity with the last paragraph of the eighth section of the first article those several and press provisions of the Constitution which vast Tn Congress exclusively the control over the monetary system of the United States. and more particularly those which imply the necessity of a uniform currency. The exercise of the now CT for that object is free of any constitutional objection, provided the duties thus laid shall be uniform, and applied to the Bank of the United States as well as to the State Banks. The act of laying and collecting the duties which is ex- pfessly granted, is alone sufficient to effect the object"

BACHELORS BEwARE.-The Springfield Re- publican contains the following solemn warning to bachelors:
 There are some sad sights in this word-a city sacked and burnt-a battle field after great slaughter-a London in the midst of plague-a ship burning at sea--a family piniug Tn starvation-a jug of molasses wrecked upon the pavement-butt the saddest sight to us of all IS an old bachelor, stodly walking towards his end, hls great duties undone, his shirt buttons oft, hls stockings out at the toes, and nobody to leave his money to. Were we such man, the mild reproving eye of widow or maiden lady would drive us mad.

FREDERICK CHATARD, Gen. WM. WALKER. Commander

To none of these letters from Capt. Cbatard has Walker been able to reply one word, and now that he is distinctly informed by United States officer that he has no rights in this coun- try, 1t Is to be hoped he will remove before blood is shed. Captain Chatard has informed the people in Greytown, and we have also been assured by Dr. Green, the British Consul that Walker shall be sent out of the country bv English or American men-of war, and on this assurance we confidently reply.
 To the excellent American Consul, MT. Cot trell. and to Capt. Joseph N. Scott, we are in. debted for having Walker painted in his true colors to the estimable commander of the Sara toga; to him truly are the inhabitants of Grey. town greatly indebted and we sincerely trust the United States government may reward him as he deserves.

From the Panama Star. WALKER SHEDDING TEARS.

Our Aspinwall correspondent states it is re- ported that Walker shed tears when he hauled down his flag on surrendering to the United States forces. He states, further that the cap- tain of the Brunswick expressed his intention of dislodging Walker if the United States Con- modore did not do so, and that Walker and his meu had resolved to fight to the death before sur rendering to the British. though they had de- termined to yield to the United States author- ties A mine was laid with all the spare ann munition, and the British were to have been blown to eternity. Walker was well provision ed. and had plenty of munitions of war. = Among the prisoners brought down the river on the steamer were two deserters, who would have been shot had not Walker been compelled to surrender.
