unite every element Of opposition to tue Re-
publican party-has been proposed, in the person
Of the Historical" john A. McClernand, Of
this State. Somehow, VIC don't think hc will
be Speaker, at least during this Congress.
The Chicago Time. and tho Post on1co
Advertising.
With the lawsuits or oiaer difficulties pend
ing between tho Chicago Times and Mr.. B. II.
Ranstead We hare nothing to do, md desire
to hare nothing to do. TIE hare stated, how
cver, that witness testified in our Circuit
Court recently That lie was solicited by ~
agent Of tho Times Office, just before m
award Of the Post Office list Of nd
<ertiscd letters, to take certain hum
bcr Of extra copies Of tue Times Mt u nominal
figure, in consideration Of the Tines inserting
Ills professional card free Of charge-and thus
much VIC adhere to aud arc prepared to prove.
Tho date a. the transaction was incorrectly
stated in our issue Of Saturday. This particu-
lar afaar took place in 1855, but that is Of no
consequences. df the principal editor Of tho
Times was once party 10 tho transaction, and
If tho fact is substantially shown in q court Of
justice. our purpose Of letting the public under
stand upon wha. evidence the Post Olica ad.
verslsinz is awarded, is already attained.
The caso Of Rans.cad asainst Cook, Camc-
ron and Sheahau, no understand is coming
flto Court again, on q motion for 4 new trial,
based upo2 tho affidavit Of one Of the jury1uen
that another Of them was too drunk to know
anything about the evidence, and that hc ab-
scented himself from the jury-room whilo the
foreman WAS BEING elected. The statement of
thc 1:n1es that the caso was mere conspiracy
between Ranstead and Cook, To e8tort 800
from that Office, is too bold for belief. If truo
the Times owes it 10 society to bring them both
before the grand jury and hare them sent to
Alton foE fragrant crime And everybody
knows tue editor Of the Times would not lose
moment in sending Nr. Cook there, if lie
thought hc flad good case against him.
The point is this: either Mr. Raustead wns
employed BY the Times to get up a fictitious.
circulation for tho proprieto,s Of ttat paper,
(uot Mr.. Ranstead). to swear to, before tic
postmaster,-or Ac was not. (The post Office
law would not let Mr. Raastead swear to any
thing in the promises; that duty would fal1
upon ono Of tie publishers and proptietors
Of the T;me) That Mr. Ranstead was
50 employed he firmly believes and is ready
to swear. Perhaps the best evidence o.
his belief in the TACT ttst he has been prose.
cutting his c'aim for these services in the court.
for two ycars. He is not tho man 10 make
himself liable to Indictment by manufacturing +
case, and procuring witnesses to swear i,
through. Moreover, Dr. Jenncss AYERS tha,
the bill which the Times holds against him ha!
.,erer leen presented, and that the card va:
handed to Ranstead in pursuance Of arrange
nent and tods not sent to the Tnes Office il
the way alleged BY th:t sheet

THE YELLOW FEVER IN TExAs.-From the 4th to-
the 7th of November there were nine deaths in
Houston. Number by yellow fever not mentioned
in the report. There we're four deaths in Calves
ton by yellow fever from the 4th to the 7th inst.
The News of Monday last has the following:
We are glad to learn from Capt Sterrett, that
for the first time since the sickness broke ont in
Houston, there were no new cases on Sunday Or,
yesterday, and that all, or nearly all the cases on
hand, are conyalescent. This is, indeed gratifying
news, and trust the sickness is also here nearly
at end for although it has been rather sporadic
than epidemic in Galveston, yet, during the past
two months since it commenced, there have been
an average of two or three deaths per day, exclu-
sve of those from the hospital, and many Of our
citizens have suffered severe affliction and been
bereaved Of their dearest friends. We have yet.
among us many nnacclimated persons from the
North, but we entertain some hope that the late
severe norther and cold weather may have de-
stroyed at least, lessened the Infection, that
it may be less liable to be taken by those who have
since arrived. However, there is no certainty in
any calculations in regard to this mysterious dis
ease, and only advise all unacclimated per-
sons to exercise the utmost prudence, and follow
the directions of our physicians and experienced
| citizens.
New Orleans daily crescent., 1859-11-12

FROM PIKE's PEAK.-From Mr.. Wellington T.
Richardson, just in from the mines, we learn that
very large quantity Of snow had fallen in the
mountains before he started in, which was on the
18th of October. Great numbers of the miners
were still leaving, though some intended to remain
and work even during the winter. They think
that they take out the dirt and quartz and have
them ready for washing and grinding in the spring.
Mr.. R. thinks that there will be between eight and
ten thousand people in and about the mines this
winter. The mines now attracting the most atteE-
ton are those about the head waters Of the Platte
and other streams farther west. We have seen
some of the gold taken from the Platte mines, and
believe it to be more valuable than any other that
has been brought in, being all in Jumps and scales
and free from any admixture of sand or dirt. One
or two small parcels have been sold here for SIT
