Texas Springs Correspondence,

TWAS impossible to give place to the letter OF
'Vindicator' last week. His favor did not reach
us until after our outside was worked off while
we ourself had over column of inside matter
crowded out That we did not so state in our
last was wholly accidental. Correspondents
should remember that the inside columns are
more especially devoted to news. "Yindsca-
tors" letter would make more than column
That is bigger space than we are accustomed
to allow ourself in one article. His excase for
the lack oscondensation, viz 81 have written
the above in q few minutes apd had no time to
correct H. is ne excuse at all in the estimation
of an editor. If an article is worth writing at
all it is worth writing with care. We would
like 10 hear from " Eindicator' weekly through
out the year, if he would Put himself to the
trouble Of condensing his ideas within the space
of half sheet Of letter paper. We give few
extracts from his letter of last week. The re-
mainder it would hardly be proper to print at
this late day:
Now that "grim visaged var has smoothed
his wrinkled 'front.'" and blessed Peace has ar
rived, with them one hundred and thirteen
guns" It behovcs US to talk calmly about tho
late Chinese War.
1t is wonderful to see with what alacrity GER
tain presses which, in 1856, were the mouth
pieces of the San Francisco Vigilance Commit
tee, denounce the miners movement of THE
county. Those presses made the welkin ring
with loud hozannas to that Committee-they ap-
piauded that Committee for hanging men of
their own race and citizens of this Republic
they justified that Committee in hanging citizens
without benefit of clergy, denying the doomed
men even the privilege of being cenyersed with
by minister of God. Oh, yes, all that was
done by the San Francisco Vigilance Committee,
composed of " rich merchants, y g" the best men,
&c, but the act of these lousy miners is an en-
tirely different affair. This is a mob-the mi
ners of Rock Creek were roters-and Sheriff
Stockton, in arresting them for tie crime of dr1u-
ing Cinnamon from their (the white miners0
cldiHsS, and in paying out of his own pocket for
the legal talents of the editor of the Republican,
in aiding his prosecution and persecution of said
ROCK Greek miners did right and acted patriotic
1t is to be regretted that the miners cannot
enforce their local laws without having county
officers make Muggnses of themselves and tho
public abroad generally, and putting State and
county to unnecessary expense, and causing His
ExcelieRcy, the ChiefExecutive, to tremble with
indignation away down to the heels of his boots.
Mlen Them one one hundred and thirteen
guns arrival at the right loyal town of Briggs
vile, happened to be therein steamboat
There was tremsndous laundering of Chinese
artillery, consisting of fre-crackers. A regi-
ment of " Two bittee-No sabes" were on hand
each armed with gong, and as the army ap-
preached, you bet they executed to some effect
the air of " See, the Conquering Hero Comesr--
Each pig-tail stuck out straight with Joy, after
the style Of a skillet handle In the midst of the
Celestial regiment was an American, who was
heard to say, "John, me welly good man-me
man-Melikan man no good. You lkee buy
licey? you likce brandy? Ne sell it to you
Me welly good man-ne likee Chinaman welly
good-Melkan man no good" To which his
Celestial brother responded "Meikan man no
good" VYDIcAroR.
