Price Sl.o0.
We copy the following from the Philadel.
phia North American -
Colonel Crockett was character. His au.
tobiography has been long out of print ; his re-
putation for eccentricity has been presumed
upon in the publication Of all sorts of outra-
geous and obscene nonsense, in coarse alma
macs, and other vehicles for low humor. This
volume is a republication of the genuine work,
with necessary additions and will be new to
the present generation Of readers. 1t is as mar
ked and characteristic as the subject was his
portrait faithfully drawn, and none the less so
that it is without effort, and perfectly nativ c
and sincere. We well remember the amiable
origina' in his northern tour, and recall many
of the incidents to which his book alludes We
never have looked upon his like since and re
joice in this republication as an act of justice !;
| to retrieve an honest man from vulgar misrep-
resentation
copy of the Book and a handsome present
will be sent by mail, postpaid, upon receipt of

ly probable that the monument which il
is proposed to erect 70 the memory of the
late DIR. Thomas Curtis, by his former pu.

II will be seen that the loaction will be
decided by the general wish Of those who
contribute to this noble undertaking. AS
the former residence OF DE-. Curtis, and
the scene OF his labors as instructor Of
those who desire to erect the proposed
monument as memorial Of their love
and affection, Limestone Springs is cer-
tain'y the most appropriate place that
can be selected, and we fell sure that its
location there will be in accordance with
the feelings and wishes at least Of ma

yesterday, says
Is stated at the Post Office Department TINT hiss been
discovered thu late Postmaster Wesc H. Of Phlsdephia
defaucr TO the amount Of nearly tweny thousand dhslars
1t is not at all unlikely that the transmission OF this
libel nstgated at the Department, but nevertheless
the heinous charge against Mr.. W. without any founda
ton truth Mr. W. ceased 70 be postmaster last May,
and It is extraordinary circumstance that may need
explanation Eat the Department why nearly six months
have been allowed to elapse before such charge
made, and why it is first made in such mode and manner
through newspaper reporter instead Of the proper and
legal medium of suit against such alleged dcfauter.
Mr. W. forwarded to tho Department his accounts for his
last quarters service few days after he left the Office
and some weeks afterwards was informed that the
absence OF one voucher (which was msaid lost at
the Department. delayed the final settlement Of those
accounts His accounts for previous quarters had been
regularly transmitted and he had regularly paid into the
Sub Treasury all the moneys that he required by law
and the regulations Of the General Post Office To pay His
old accounts II known, strictly sCrutinzed by
persons outside well inside of the Department be-
fore his removal with the hope Of fudng in them
thing whereon to base charges against HIM. This failed
and the sole ground assumed by the Postmaster General
in his published report his having compelled his
clerks 10 make good deficiency in the cash returned
him az collected by them The statement quoted can
that the Post Office Department may have overhanled aud
set aside the former statements Of Mr. VS. accounts in
order to make balance appear against him. but as such
would have to undergo judicial revision If IL
be the statement that Mr. W. is detaulter,
proulged underGdcpartmental sanction, is than
Improper Ii betrays the baSest malice and the alcga-
ton being false, II becomes infamous.

or copes there can be nc mistake their merit or as to
their identity STYLE Taking into the fact that they
have been in the possession Of the Meade family for up
wards Of half century, and that they are now offered for

that In the early period Of Murios career he painted
vast number Of works Of small SIZE some OF which are
occasionally turning UP.
The elaboration Of the Magii" may have been executed
about this time, or later, for was the painters
habit to multiply copies Of his religious compositions for
the simple reason that ready sale was found foy them
Without committing ourselves positively to the anthem

there are, inherently as well historically as good
grounds for attrbung them to the pencil Of the great
spanish master % we're urged support Of the claims OF
the Aspinwal and Brevoort pictures. We have never

work Of that size and importance could not possibly
were genuine have been purchased In Europe for the
small amount which that gentleman is said to have paid
for it. There is not picture dealer of any eminence,
either In London or Paris who would not have given
double the sum for it on speculation
The truth of the matter is that no genuine
works by any Of the old masters who are held
in estimation amongst European connosseurs ever
find their way here There is market amongst US for
such pictures, for though few Of our rich merchants
have collections they composed almost entirely Of
modern paintings for they wisely prefer buying anthem
VIC WORKS by contemporary artists to paying enormous
prices for old counterfeits So much deception and
ickery have been practsed by picture dealers
is now exceedingly difficult for any to sell paint

lures like those to which have just called attention
stand good chance Of attracting the notice of con-
noisseurs nasmuch their history and ownership can
be satisfactorily made out.
