THE WASHINGTON DIspATcH.-This paper in for
mer days was conducted in a manner to entitle it.
self to the respect and patronage Of all the friends
of order, law and good government. We fear it has
recently fallen under the malign influences of the
times Its late article in reference to the opinion
of the Supreme Court upon the stay-law, upon
which VIC anmadverted IN much more moderate
terms than it deserved, bore strong evidences Of
that evil influence. Co.,.
Its recent reply to our notice exhibits this spirit
In worse form, if possible. Its article entire is
marked by ungenteel, false, and dsingepuous in
lerences from our article 1t is throughout con-
tempsible quioble, betraying an amount Of vanity
and ignorance Of the law and of the Constitution,
which we did not expect to see in that Journal
Inc article, therefore, does not merit review.

COMPENSATION TO THE MARsHALs-A friend and
correspondent has called our attention to the fact that
the Marshal and Ills assistants, who took the census
under the Lincoln government, have been paid only
one-half the amount due them for their services.
The Confederate government will avail itself Of
much of the information obtained by the Marshal
and his assistants and this being the case it would
seem but fair and just that they should be paid in
full for their labor This subject will no doubt in
due time engage the attention Of the government
and We feel sure that justice will be done.

From the Galveston News of Tuesday last VI

Our army correspondent, writing us on the 27tl
March, from Fort Brown, says the Texan trooD
Stationed there were preparing for active duty
The news had got abroad that body of OFT
Mexican soldiers was concentrating in the State O
lamaupas, with hostile designs towards thu
IeXan frontier. Cannon, bearing on Brownsville
had been placed in battery at Matamoras The
Texans were determined at the slightest hostile
move on the part Of the MeXicaus to seize on Mat,
amOras and hold it,
Col. Ben McCulloch has arrived in New Orleans
from Richmond. He has, We understand, sue
ceeded III his mission to purchase 1000 Colts re-
volvers and 1000 repeating rifles for the use of the
State.
The steamship Rusk brought over to day the two
pieces of field artillery, six FOUNDERS known as the
T.. Twin Sisters which were used at the battle of
San Jacinto, and did such good service there.
They some how or other found their way back to
Louisiana, where they have been considered as old
iron.
The State of Louisiana, through the Lagislaturcs
action. has presented the guns again to the State
Of Texas, remounted there anew throughout
We understand that Captain Murray, Of the
steamship Fashion, which vessel was chartered to
take the T. S. troops from IndianoIa TO the steam

informed by the U. S. officer having charge, that
his services would not he needed again until July

Under this caption, the Mobile Advertiser has al
article upon the probable destination of the armed
| fleet which sailed from Northern ports few days
ago, and gives the following reasons for believing
that its main object is the blockade of New Or

With the aid of military the naval force at Lin
CONS command can approach very nearly to max

Ough and ctlectual.n
There is nothing now at command, az VIC have
no navy, TO prevent force being landed and en-.

placed in the swampy wilderness above its several
months would be still below Forts Jackson and St.
Philip, and would etftctuaIly close the commercal

no land, properly speaking, by which troops could
advance upon them
The men-of war, then, would need to give them

De at liberty to watch the I}igocts, and all the
DayouS by which a pirOgue could reach the Cuff
Waters to watch Lake Bnrgna with the waters Of
which the Mexican Gnf Road connects the city ::
to watch Bayou Chef Menteur which is defended

BerWlcks Bay, with which the Opelousas Railroad
connects the city. There should at once be taken
such precauton in the way Of floating OF tempo
rary batteries as will prevent an enemy getting
WITHIN The Mississippi. The idea set forth bv a
ioca! c0temnorary, that if the river proper should
be bockaded, steamers could freely navigate from
the Mississippi, above New Orleans, by supple
mental bayou mouths, thence debouching to the
Gulf, is fallacious to a degree. The supplemental
mouths are there but are not openly navigable to
the Gnlf, though nearly so, for they lose their
channels by reason of the waters expanding into
vast sWampy wastes as they approach the coast.
