Volcano Correspondence.
VOLCANO. Feb. 10th.

VOLCANO, Feb. 10th, 1858
EDs. LEDGER-Last week | noticed in the
Jackson Sentinel communication from Vol
cano, signed "Civis," which among other
things either ignorantly or maliciousy mis-
represents the Board of Supervisors. Now
| take it for granted that when newspaper
article is proved to be false in part, the bal
ance, to say the least, is very doubtful. Be
ing somewhat acquainted with the Board of
Supervisors, | deem it my duty as one of
their well-wishers to correct one or two slight
mistakes my unknown townsman made.
lst. He says that for one post mortem ex-
animation and examining lunatic, $50 was
allowed
Cd He says that for one post mortem ex-
animation, in three items $50 was allowed
Now if Civis will turn to to the proceed
ngs of the Board of Supervisors in the Led
ger of January 9th, which he referred to in
his communication, he will find that instead
of $50 being allowed for one post mortem
examination and examining lunatc, it will
read for two post mortem examinations and
examining lunatic; and that instead of $50
in three items for one post mortem examna-
ton, it will read for two post mortem exam
intions.
don't want to be hard with my towns
man; therefore | will not prove any more Of
his statements incorrect, for if you remember
abont the time the Ledger he refers to was
issued, there was snow on the ground and
the sun shining upon it probably affected his
eyes. | feel certain Civis has some reason to
assign for his Misrepresentation of facts, or
else has no respect whatever for the cogno-
men under which he writes Now as | am
an old citizen of Volcano, and expect to
make it my home, feel deep interest in the
prosperity of our town and the good name of
our citizens; therefore take the liberty to
say to all the Civises, for the sake of the
opinion yeu have of yourself and the town
you boast of being citizen OF, before wri-
ting to another newspaper read the story of
the two frogs, and hereafter look before you
leap. JUSTICE

Gov. Wise in ,51 and SO.

1t we'll known that Gov. Wise of Vir-
ginia, is at this time opposed to the ad-
mission of Kansas under the Lecompton
Constitution. His opposition to it is,
'because it was not submitted to pop
ular vote of the people. That is Gov.
Wise in 1858. Let US see what Gov.
Wise says about admitting Kansas un-
der the Lecompton Constitution, no
longer ago than November Is, 1851
In a letter written on that date, relative
to the Senatorial question, he says:
"Yet, if upon precedent, the Conven-
ton of Kansas adopts a Republican
form of State Government, and reports
it to Congress ocithont submitting it te the
people, I agree aoith Mr.. Hunter in &C.
ceptingtt and roting to receiUe Kansas as
a State-slave or free-into the Union.
And why? Because, first, of precedent,
and secondly, whether it be accepted or
rejected, it has to be submitted or is sub
ject at least, in either event, to the pop
ular will. If a majority do not approve
of the Constitution, they may organize
another Convention Immediately, and
adopt any republican form, after they
are once a State, acithout submitting 1t a
all to CJRsress.'
Would not the old familiar quotation
CONSISTENCY thou art a jewel" be appli
cable to those Democrats who oppose
the Administration on the Kansas ques
ton.

The Los

The above is the title of a new work
by Mrs. CAROLINE LEE HENTz, a copy
of which has been laid upon our table
by the gcntlemanly publishers, Messrs.
L. B. PETERSON & Bros. In speaking
of this work the Philadelphia Dollar
Newspaper says:
AS a successful writer of Sketches:
Mrs. IIentz is, in our opinion unequaled
in this country, and her continuous sto-
ries are marked by all the characterize
les that proclaim the true novelist-a
natural and ably developed plot, great
powers of Imagination and construction,
purity of feeling, and evident earnest
ness of purpose on the part of the au-
thor, without which the reader cannot
feel interested in any story, while she
possesses also the artistic skill which
causes the interest of the reader to in
crease as the tale proceeds, to the end of
the last chapter. All who have read
Linda" and 'Rena." or the Snow Bird,
will readily acknowledge this while the
'Banished Son." and Glove after Mar
rage" attest to her excellence az a
Sketch writer. Every one feels. while
reading her tales, that the writer her
self must possess the virtue, and patriot
ism, and religious sentiment she incul-
Gates, and we knew many who had no
personal acquaintance with the adlthor
who esteemed her as a dear friend
Mrs. lIcntz combined power Of de!inea-
ton and grace of style in a remarkable
degree, and was 4 close observer of hui
man nature, so that all her characters
seem as natural as life, while she always
had a moral aim in her writings, which
commends them to the freside of every
family In the land as profitable and pleas
ant reading. We must commend to her
many former admirers this posthumous
edition of her last novellettes, and we
are sure they will be eagerly enquired
for by all.
The Price of this work in cloth, is

one dollar.

ton in willing accordance with their
letter and spirit? 1t then becomes the
duty of each man in the body polite to
support the National Administration to
the extent of his ability. At least 1t
should SCENT o be the duty ofall-Repub-
~licans, no party men and Democrats-if
any among them will not speak for the
National Government, to abstain from
low abuse of the President and Cabinet.
And yet we ask for them no tavors as
such. They arc able to defend them
selves as completely as the results OF
the policy of the administration which
they have adopted will vendicate the
motives and wisdom in which that poll
cy was conceived.
True Democrats have nothing to fear;
those who are determined to follow
the lead of james Buchanan will in a
few weeks see the National standard of
our glories party rising higher, and
higher yet, in triumph over the enemy.
To our minds, there is a myriad of
encouragement, to the honest Democrat
and good citizen, for adhering closely to
tho President. We know of no induce
mcut, to abandon him. Do you cues
ton the wisdom of his Kansas policy :?
Many, likewise; doubted the propriety
of some, the acts of Jetferson's Admi in
istration. Hosts of men were found to
denounce Jackson's bold assault on the
United States Bank. We read that in
history, and we read another fact there;
the men who, fer any cause, left those
two Presidents, sunk suddenly and for
ever-political ~nothings. The Presi-
don't must and will be sustained.
