a. WAsHISGroN dispatch says Col.
CRowE, the newly appointed Governor
Of New Mexico, cannot take the test
oath. and cannot, therefore, assume
the duties of his office till Congress
relieves him from his disability by
direct legislation. 1t IS said that the
President desires to retain him, and
will take the opinion of the Attorney
General whether. under the eircum-
stances. he can send person to fill
the Office without displaciug Grove.
If he can do this, he Is inclined to
offer the place to Dr.. Barb. of the
Atlanta Ne0 Era. IF the Attorney
General decides that the office can not
be filed without suspending GROVE
it is probable General MITCHELL vii
be lett undisturbed till Congress meets
next Winter.

The culture of fruits is carried to
great perfection, particularly the
strawberry and peach. Asking as to

that no one presumed to question It;

My own opinion IS. that we could

THE Mt. Vernon Union asks US to
correct a statement which we copied
the other day from the Democrat, of
that place, relative to the valuation of
personal property in Posey County.
The Union says:
The Democrat, Ia undertaking to
give the comparative valuation of the
personal properly OF this county, by
townships, for 1859, arranges It's
figures in such a manner as to show
that the increase over last year is but
S9.772; whereas the fact Is. the in
crease is $101 800. BY its showing,
the personal property of this city has
decreased 81, 874 during the past year,
when the fact is, il has increased
S82 217!
Ii would be of no earthly import
ance how badly it bungles its figures
If nobody was deceived thereby but
its own readers; but unfortunately,
as in this case, its blunders obtains a
wide publicity by being copied into
papers having an extensive circula-
ton IN other sections of the country,
and thereby creating the false and
damaging impression abroad that our
county is at dead stand still, and
our city learfully retrograding in point

DISPATCHES give US additional par
ticulars in the great newspaper sensa-
ton of the New York San veTsus
JOHN RUSSELL YOUNG, managing ed
itor Of the New York Tribune. Mr..
YOUNG has been termed the Young
Napoleon of the Press, and conse-
quontly will not consent to Danish
rnent without hard fight. He has
sued Mr.. DANA. Of the Sam, for libel,
fixing his damages at 100000 Should
he provo successful in this suit, he
will have done better financially than
with his leves in behalf of the Phila-
delphia Post. In the meantime, the
stockholders of the Tribune are in a
peck of trouble" and the philose-
ply of its distinguished philosopher
will be required to enable them to
contemplate with calmness the terri
BILE exposure Of its managing editor.
The other New York papers are vir
tuously indignant; the EOeniag Post,
in particular, asserting that it is more
necessary than ever for all members
of the press who wish to save it from
disgrace to join not merely in de-
nouneing the impostor now exposed,
but in keeping the rest of the profess
sion entirely above all kindred sus-
pieions.
The New York SIN places its ex-
pose on high moral grounds, of
course. Mr. Dana is shrewd enough
to do that, and claims great credit for
his independence and boldness in ex-
liable, however, Ls-Als > refrain
from insinuating that personal jeal-
ousy and envy had much to do with
the whole thing. Mr. DANA was
once managing editor of the Iribune.
That paper, under Mr.. YoUNa's man
agement, has been regarded as much
superior to what it was under Mr..
DANA's direction. The comments
of the San on the YOUNG CORES
pondence are favored with a person
atty that indicate the motives which
lie at the bottom of its publication.
But we are disposed to give the San
the benefit of its statements. 1t says
The reasons for exposing these
transactions of Young appear to US
very clear and very conclusive.
He has for some years oceu-
pied a leading place on one of the
most important and influential jour
nails of the country. That journal
owes the position which it holds in
the public esteem to the honesty
and conscientiousness with which
II has been conducted. In selecting
Mr.. Young for his responsible office,
its proprietOrs have put themselves
into the hands of one who is, accord
ing to the evidence of his own letters,
an INSCRIPTIONS intriguer, who has
used his great power for improper
purposes. He has not broken any
statute; he has promised nothing
more than he was able to perform.
He is not guilty of any otfense of
which the criminal code takes cogni-
zauee. The only method of reaching,
checking and Furnishing his wrong
doings is TO bring it TO the bar of
public opinion, to expose it, to hold it
up as it is. His deeds have been COM
mitted under the cover of respecta-
bility and the good influence of the
press, and it was for the press to take
action against them. This is what
we have done, and under similar cir
cumstanees we should not fail to do If
again"
