little in reference to our friends Captains
RANKIN and VANVALEENBURGH, who by
the evidence Of Two Republican papers,
had been unsuccessful in their Southern
speculalions. OF course every person OF
sense took the article for what it WAS in
tended-a joke; but the nincompoop OF
the Tribune whines over it as serious
matter, and talks as though both Captains
were fools, which We assure it is not the
fact.
