Samuel Walker is not to be put down
by the Interior Department. He publishes
a reply 10 the letter Of Assistant Secretary
COwsn, which is quite as pointed and per-
sOnal as the statement Of the latter. Walk
er's answer, which is long, is, in sub
stance, this. He says:
"CJgan's original documents, By their
dates and the manner in which obtained,
will prove Mr.. Welsd's assertion that they
were concOcted in the Interior Department;
and TO save Mr.. CoWsn all further specula-
ton, l will add that there is proof Of his
authorship Of the ISLANDERS on me, both
orally and by written documents; that he
wrote an original draft, which was copied
by clerk in the Secretsry's Office, and
that after the IHter-OceGn published the
copy furnished by the interior Department,
distributed the ''cOu esPOndence, y sO-cslled,
TO a large number OF newspapers East ard
West"
SIR. Walker reneEs his accusation in
these words:
"There is little doubt that can produce,
il NJ fires occur, record evidence which will
be damaging 10 the reputation Of officers
who control the disbursements. During
the few years since DelsnO'y accession to

JEFFERSON DAVIS LETTER.
New YORK Herald

We are not near enough to the mil.
enIum for the fools in the West to be
all dead, and we are surprised that Mr..
DPvis expected any snch consumma-
ton. It Is gratifying, however, that
even under the exasperating circum-
stances which made Mr.. Davis letter
necessary, he preserved 50 much good
temper as to exceed any former effort
he may have made toward the restora-
JICn Of friendly feelings between the
sections. There has been great diff
Guilty IN the way Of his altering the
PHI .se fellow cUUntrymen; but when
he uttered It at al It was with refer
ence To some short-sighted persons who
'bje,teG to hearing him address an
agricultural far in a Western State.
No man IN the country was better quail
fled for such a task, and the letter
shows that the interests Of the West
and Southwest would have been bene-
fitted by the full expression of his views.
Both sections must gain by promoting
mutual confidence and cOintelligence,
and III calling attention to this fact
MIR. Davis has done much toward the
restoration Of a better feeling, and,
while We regret that he IS not 70 have
the Op. OTtunlty TO make the address
ne had contemplated, we are pleased
that the occasion Of the invitation was
turned to such excellent account. His
letter vas frank aud manly, and must
do good, especially IN the North.

LONDON, Aug. IS, A. M.-The Times,

be devised Of giving to Herzegovina and
Bosnia an Independence similar to that Of
Servia, it Will be a e eat relief to the Porte

points to the gradual but inevitable disTup-
ton of the Ottoman Empire, and protests
against the superstition that En- 2lish foreign

h delivering judgment in the Abbotis-
ford investigation, the Court Of Inquiry
said they were perfectly satisfied the vessel
was in good order; that the general charsc-
ter and conduct Of the officers were perfect
and al that could be desired by critical
owners or the most critical public. The
vessel made the journey safely until she
reached Holy Head, and then was lost on
the coast Of Anglesey. Every precautioR
seemed to have been taken, all that prH-
deDce dictated; al that printed rules re-
quired for the guidance Of officers had been
done; soundings were made regularly, and
as this weather thickened, constant and
doubtless vigilant and efficient lookout had
been preserved.
The Mark Lane Express, in its weekly
review Of the grain market, says the wheat
crop in Great b itain has been gathered in
much better order than expected. Prices

those Of last year, with less acreage and
less yield

Accounts from the continent differ some
what, but all agree on the fact that violent

immense damage in France, Belgium and
Holland. Prices are but little changed on
the continent generally. In Germany the

at the time Of her capture, Charles a.
