They also sold the fine property situated at the
corner of Camp and Philip streets, Fourth District
at $4,000, Generally there has been very little done
in real estate this week. Several large properties
including the McDonogh property, will be on the
market long, and all classes of citizens will have
opportunities to obtain homesteads at cheaper rate
than in any other city also, presenting greater adj
vantages and inducements for the industrious and
mechanical than any other city on this continent
On this point there cannot be any doubt The neces
saries of life are to be had in abundance. Nature has
favored US with most hospitabe climate and if one
half of the civilized population of the world did not
believe it, in the name Of God, how is it that so many
crowd and flock into our city yearly? The trade of
croakers and agators to the great and rapid
strides of our city may well ponder on the manifold
advantages our city possesses, and which are being
added from year to year.

ANOTHER GOVERNMENT DEFAULT

received information to-day that a disburs-

that defauting officer has neither been arrairn-

1t is true that the Secretary Of War ordered
hlm to be called to Washington. but there II
was discovered that the bIoed Of the s.6rst

without snpJeeting him to the just punishment
which awaits all northern delinquents, he was
permitted to return TO California, under the
promise that he would sell certain propertv in

plots bave not been very creditable TO him Of
late, vas empowered by the War Department
before leaving this city for Fort LeaYenworth,
to sell large portion Of that beautiful and
valuable reservation Information OF tie fact
was obtained by certain gentlemen, who also
learned that the "General," )" alias Land Agent,
was authorized to sell a certain number of
acres for the stipulated price of hDty dollars
per acre!
This additional intelligence surprised them.
and they determined to test the matter by an
application to the aforesaid General, with an
offer TO increase the price Accordingly they
called on him at the Fort, and ascertained that
be was authorized TO sell the land for thirty
dollars, but to specified party IN Cinciaaafss
Tie land was not open to the highest bid
der.
Upon learning this, the gentlemen applying,
informed the General that they considered this
a very extraordinary way of disposing Of the
public domain; that they were willing to be-
come purchasers Of the property, if If was fox
sale, and should demand the right to do so, and
gave notice to the General that they were rea-
dy to pay one hundred dollars per acre for all
the land on the reservation that might be for
sale, with such proyiso as might attach to the
sale for thirty dollars per acre to the Cin:inna-
II parties. This prompt action, believe, has
caused a suspension of the sale for awhile

hoisted the Dallas flag in Bedford county, and
kept il flying till the people decided in favor Of
Mr.. Buchanan, when he reluctantly hauled it
down. and all this, it seems, because Mont-
gcmery would not accept Lecompton The
story goes that Bowman got Qaail, one Of his
clerks, who was friend ofAIontgomery till the
latter got into trouble on account Of his vote
against Lecompton, TO write bitter letter
against his friend in the Washington Unlon,
and it is also said that the General has done
other things no less curious. General Dawson
is closeted with the President at this writing,
and will no doubt have some difficulty in satis-
flying him how Montgomery came to beat the
combined powers. 1t is stated, | do not know
how truly, that notwithstanding Montgomery's
enormous vote for nomination, and his astound-
ing majority, he is to be opposed By Demo
cratic candidate. THIS would be carrying out
