A boy, or n child, however, possessed

better than Lamb does. II is only

when he said he never missed u trip
A few weeks since q gentleman ii
Horn Lake went into the mail car
and aroke Lamb up, aud handed hin
a letter containing six dollars, ant
marked valuable, directed to Her
nando. The letter ncrer reached
there, and upon Lamb being hrcot

necessary. oh, my pet Lamb, VIII,
did you so? The following incidcn
will show "thc nature of the beast
time ago, | got a young man o
to make a trip for me; h,
done his duty well, and the Z. NJ. u
Memphis was satisfied, but Laml
was not, because the young man ha,
served in the Confederate army, ant
Of course could not take the oath, S,
this "big sneak" wrote a long lettel
to a special agent ut New Orleans
telling in Glowing terms how | haC
put The u. s. mail IN danger by Civ
ing il in charge of an incompetent
person, and one who could not tax,
the oath. lie said in his letter
good deal Of fault was found, and, a
he dirdys done his duiy-(it was onl,
a couple OF weeks before that he ha,
been reported for drunkcnncss) h
felt II to be his duty (poOr fellow 4
report such a serious casc of neglect
But, unfortunately for him, the lettc
done no good, and then, he, 9th
tool Of his, reported il to Washing
ton, but they met with no success
there. The young man I got woul,
not rob the U. 5. mail; he to, Tough
for what he thought was right, bu
Lamb served his country to the tun
Of ten dollars a day, as a spy, an,
now has the audacity to tell people h
had nothing TO do with the war
This cheap Of nastincss' even dcnic
his own State, and tells people he !
from Texas such a thing il not a Il
associate for a plantation negro
The old adagc, ~ fool for luck !
pretty well verified, or HE would no
now be down here after being report
cd by two postmasters for drunken
ness. lie got a severe rcprimand
but il had as much effect as Il woul,
have had upon q piece Of solc-lcathcr
lie has not enough of manlincSs o
honor for that. In the manner h,
his letter, saying Gov. Ran
dali sent him down here q person
would naturally think he was som,
important parsonage. The last sen
tcncc Of his letter, that he "intCndc,
TO do his duty" Is the best thing Il
II, and no doubt the public will b,
glad TO hear Il.
Now, Mr.. Lamb, my advice to 80,
Is, not to drink so much poor whisky
and Try and do your duty better, an,
when you neglect 10, do not Law blam,
on me, or "this dose, only doubled
will be repeated again" Don't pu
on airs, aud try TO playthc geafieman
for Il must seem odd to YOU; nm,
above all, when you have anythin,
TO say TO a person, say il to THEN
and not behind their back, and ncvc.
again call a clerk in The postonice a
hircling' because he takes the part o
a person you are slandcring, for
you do, your blcatcd Snug ma,
come IN contact with the hack part o
said "hireling's" hand. Do az fkd~
sry nothing but rhdi you cnn proe,
! might state two or three thing
more, Mcssrs Editors, but as my LET
Ger Is longer than intended, L will
wait and see IL "the beast gives an
other kick Very respectfully.
