TWe have received a note from
Mr.. @. II. Grosvenor, the editor OF
the Athens Messenger, of whom we
lave spoken heretofore. He informs
us that in the Messengers article to
which we referred, last week, and of
which he was the author, he did rot
apply to us the offensive language Of
which we complained, but that it was
intended for another person, and SO
understood by Democrats and Repub-
licans at Athens. After this explain
alton we regret, Of course, that mis-
apprehension of Mr.. g. remarks in
duced us to reply so severely. The
offensive terms were used in con-
nection that led us to believe they
were intended to apply to us, Like
Mr.. g., we have "no stomach for a
fight" newspaporial or otherwise,
when brought about by a misunder-
standing Of facts.

How The Republican, Officials

Joseph Gable was appointed in Jan

in Pauldlng County by Gov. Chase.
The salery was six hundred dollars a
year. On the 2Sth day of February,
1856, and before Gable had entered
on his duties of his Office, the Legis!a-
ture abolished it. Notwithstanding
this the Republican State officials

devotion to Henry VIII. and his agent, Thomas
Lord Cromwell, is a matter Of nOtOriety. Mr..

impelled by a sense Of duty to kill his mother

charge love Of praadOx, or desire TO connect
his name with Ingenious new reading upon
any OF the ii!ustrioGs authors whose names we

list of unsettled historical and biographical ques

some small basis Of truth at the bottom Of the

The editor Of the UTICA N. " Herald, now
in Heidelberg, in a letter to his paper, says of
two of the most eminent professors in Germany:
Professor Pitt who is ecturins on the Cos
pelS, commences by taking his snuff, box out Of
his pocket, opening it, placing it on the desk
directly before him, cFamming both nostrils full
with the nausealing stuff, taking a second pinch
between his thumb and foretnger, and then
brawlng out ''-Heihs Herrea," As he warns
with his subject. the thumb and finger makes a
series OF dives into the snuff box, and up to the
nose. until the lecturer becomes enveloped in
cloud Of dust Bunsen, the distinguished chem
ist, comes into the lecture room with the stump
of cigar in his mouth, which he jerks cut as
he commences to speak, and puts BAGS again the
moment he has finished. While he is speak.

THE New York Eeening Post seems inclined
to believe that every tub should stand on its
bottom, and that every man should sit on his
seat if he has one, especially if that seat is fur
nished by his generous Uncle, Samuel. Speak
ing of the inclination of the committee in the
House, having charge of the matter, to abolish
the use of desks by the members, the Post ex-
presses itself very decidedly in favor of the
move. This perpendicular contemporary argueth
and with considerable show Of logic, that the
use of desks makes our representatives, lazy
that instead of attending to the legitimate bust
ness before them, they write long speeches and
longer letters, direct documents and frank them,
and do every other thing which honorable mem
b.rs might find to occupy their time, while some
persevering speaker is endeavoring in vain TO
engage heir attention. Moreover, Mr.. Post be-
lieveth that if the said worthy, and ease-loging
gentlemen were obliged to sit bolt upright with
out any facilities for lounging, they would adj
dress themselves At once to the despatch of
business. The result would be, OF course, that
the knottv questions now vexiDg Congress and
the country would be sumnarily disposed Of
The Pacific Railroad would be built, all the ter
Titories admitted, Mexico taken under our shell
tering wing, Cuba bought and paid for with
borrowed capital,) all the Indian tribes 'wiped
out" and Paraguay most thoroughly and salts
f.ctorily thrashed- Congress could then go
home and 90 to raising potatoes; and even the
President himself would have time to cultivate
a small patch" in the White House garden
A great deal of money would be saved annually
on immense sums that would not have to be
borrowed, and 50 the whole Union would be
blessed politically spa pecuniarily. All this,
and much more, viii Gssuredly happen, if the
desks be taken down and cast into outer dark
ness; in which case we suppose there will be
CRASHING of teeth. not among the desks without
but among the desk-less members within.
An upright neighbOr also sugges,eth that the
speakers shall all speak from central tribune or
platform. The idea is a good one Lett be
put into execution and 10 very shor, time
harmony will prevail in both branches of Com
gress- All political differences will gee
together, and the whole patriotic team will move
of dragging with it the national good. Differ
ent platforms in Congress have always been

on the same platform, and We may anticipate the
happiest results

THE great game at chess, which is to deter
mine the championship between the Old and
the New Worlds, was begun al Paris on Non
day, the 2lth of December. Morphy had been
III for week, and came to the contest pale and
worn, bat in good spirits. 1t had been agreed
that the winner of the first seven games should
be considered the victor. The first game,
Evans's Gambit, was sharply contested, no less
than scventY-two moves on each side having
been made, when Morphy resigned; the second
game, the Roy Lopez opening, after forty-four
moves, was drawn; Morphy seems then to have
aroused himself, and beaten his adversary tao
games. in pretty rapid succession, the third in
twenty moves, and the fourth in fifty three 4
Paris correspondent of the y. Y. Times, from
whom we derive these facts, thus describes the
players:
1.-The first game lasted seven nours, and vas
won by Prof ANDERSEN During the course Of
this game, which was conducted in the most
an immense number OF the most ingenious
combinations on both sides had good oppor-
tunity Of studying .he contestants Nothing
could be more unlike than the physique Of the
two players. Mr.. Morphy i n f!ail small boy,
with fine face and head, and modest, almost
iiinid air. Prof. ANDERSEN, on the contrary, is
tall man, slim, about fifty years Of age, with a
small bald head, slight stoop in the shoulders,
lively black eyes, clean shaved face, and
decidedly German cast offeatures- He is quiet
gentlenanly man, with a sympathetic express
sion of the face, which Immediately predisPOses
in his favor.
During this first game ". ANDERSEN moved
much more rapidly than Mr.. Morphy. Not
word was spoken By either player during the
whole seven hours. No demonstrations or false
moves made by either party to indicate to
the other his plans. There seemed To be more
originality, more genius, more ofthe imprevU in
Mr. Morphy's moves, and more ofstudy and ex-
perience in those of IT. Andersen The two
are evidently more nearly matched than
they ever were before"

NJ BERRYEa, in his defence OF Slontaiembert,
at the trial just concluded, remarked that he
was nearly 20 years of age, and had seen no
fewer than seventeen changes OF government in
France! He also asserted, what will relieve
Montalembcrt of some rcproach, that 50 far from
having been partisan Of the coup d'etat, he, on
the 2i of December, drew up the protest of the
Rue des Pyramids, which was signed by sixty
deputies, including NJ. Dupin. The great adj
vocate, speaking his client, emphatically ad-
ded:
because he adtnires England he does not re-
