TIE Dallas Commercial is no doubt very
able paper. We Judge so from the fact
that we attentively perused and re-perused
its editorials in its issue Of the twentieth,
and failed to understand them. Addison
states that a preacher in his day acquired
great celebrity by embelishing his sermons
with Latin quotations, but another supple
mented him by delivering an entire dis
course in Greek. The Commercial attacks
Representative O'Neal, and it criticises the
STATESMAN, as we imagine, intended to be
severe. Are we mistaken9
Are his structures the mere feeundity of a
literary brain, or docs he need straight
jaeketi VIII his friends and ours at Dallas
look iti He is evidently man of decided
intellect. We appreciate his genius. It
distresses us to call on him for an exp!ana-
ton of his editorials, because he might
possibly take Offense at us, which would
grieve US still more. VIII he have the kind
ness to excuse usl His writings are seem

JoURSALIsTIc.- We learn from Capt r.
L. Fulton, Of Galveston, whom we met in
our city yesterday, that it is his intention to
resume the publication of the Galveston
Commercial SO soon as the suit for damages
he has instituted against Gen. Robert Avery
is decided. The Commercial became quite
popular under the management Of Capt.
Fulton, and its unexpected suspension was
a matter of surprise to Its patrons and the
public generally. Capt. Fulton considers
that an explanation is due to his friends,
and says that so soon as the whole matter is
exposed and proven up in the courts, the
public shall be made acquainted with the
whole transaction.
