The influx Of sol Esrs has caused great confusion
here. There is DIFF fcssty in accommodating them The
Court-House has gYen up 10 one party OF four or

Thisis ssftanly hard. Who would Willingly be
slave fEIory OF such terms
I'm itaat the public excitement daily increasing.
There -yery lftIe attention TO business here
shou Prot be surprised TO learn Of the temporary dis

manifestation of perturbation is proclamation Just
ssusd from the Mayors office, warning even the eti-
zeus-thsmselves TO avoid coming any nearer the Jail
than necessity requires. In case Of public alarm, he
lfotbids them 70 approach within square OF the jail

HuNoRs or THE LOCAL PRESS
The local press continues its customary sprghtli-
mesa II showers disfayors with unsparing pens.
think some Of the editors must be addicted to red ink
according 10 the hint Of Sir Lucius 0Trgger Que Of
Tho mostf fiery paragraphs this week is in The Free
Press which stin harps Mr.. Sennott and is very
doth to give him up. Here itsi
SEsYorT g. Coin order that our readers may
DO advised of passing events insert letters trom
ltheee worbies.' While Sennou processes hls
Asgnatare 20 defend the citizens of Jefferson County
from tho aspersions of leterwIiters, he is defanng
them with bis anonymous letters through THE y. Y.
TRIBUNE. We can only say that Mr.. Sennott must
keep out of this town. The people will not submit 10
having in their midst ineendiary rlscas An eye will
be kept to them. The letters are filled with false
hoods.'
nho.oL e,,t-. a.. 90 s.,1a tho drec,nass Of those
energetic sentences cannot be questioned. IC appears
that Mr.; Gallaher will have il that Mr.. SennOtt TnE
TRIBUNE correspondent. This is an unkind return
for Mr.. sennott's letter of thanks for courtesies
bestowed upon himby Charlestown eitzens- 1t is
pity though, that should have disseminated false
hoods. think this must be error, because great
deal Of my information has from Mr.. Gallaher
himself and he, every one knows, is the soul of
honor His bearing, when publicly chastised, some
time ago showed that. But of his cotemporaries
The Independent Democrat, repels the idea of TRIB
USE correspondence altogether 1t says;
"THE TRlBUSE has no correspondent here. Such
an individual being far from coming voluntarily for
such purpose as the old white hated sepulture
GREELEY, himself. We hope, however, if there Is
power enough in the Federal arm, both he and hs co
adjuors will pay visit before long, at which time,
under the protection of our Jail walls, has paper can
have its own true correspondent.
This too, though gramnaticaly deficient, is forcible
in expression. / do not quite understand, however,
why Mr.. Greeley is called sculpture. Do You
think Mr. Greeley is sculpture As for the
presence Of The TRIBuSE correspondent Mr. Eichel-
berger ought to know better than TO deny it, He has
eaten ebestnuts az my expense dozen times, and in
return has helped uncOnsciousy, of eourse--to
deal of valuable intelligence. But Mr.. Eicheberger
has at least discovered that Mr.. Jewett uafairy
treated and endeavors do him tardy justice by say
ing that in the present of affairs the innocent
"are as likely 10 suffer as the guilty., aud that he is
sorry that Mr.. Jewett was made % feel this
"sity,"
Tie free Press confident that an attempt TO be
made to induce jailor Avis TO betry his trust, and
bases ia suspicion upon The TRIBUNE letter which
approved the nanlincss and undOubted integrity OF
that officer. This is rather illogical deduction but
The FreesPress can see as far into milestone as any
other yrgnian, and appears half disposed to berate
Capt Avis soundy for having deserted his principles
80 far as to gain the good opinion of Northerner.
Here lists article:
eft will be seen that an effort Is made 20 csiole the
keeper of the Jail. But the writer lie mistaken IN his
man. wethink. Besides, too, the People will keep
eye to the wTstohed inmates that they DO not escape
ard they vii hold those who have them in keeping
responsible for any derection of duty. But have
fears of this nsdcus attempt 20 corrupt JaOr
While he yields TO the kind impulses of hs nature and
Virginia character, he ~ not TO be corrupted IL Is
bat pro- er, however that the prisoners should be

TIE Democrat is very severe upon the reporter Of
The ~ Y. Herald, who venturcd certain complaints
about the Charlsssown Post Office. II says:
