TIE New Orleans Pieayune Of the
End Inst contains a long account OF
nearly six columns fine print purport-
ing to be q detectives report Of the
capture and return Of NJ. T. Polk last
January in Texas. 1t seems to have
been recently handed to the Picayune
for publication, but as it is addressed
Ito His Excellency Alvin G. Haw.
kins, Governor Of State OF Tennessee"
the presumption is that it.isan ancient
document which the papers in tits
State have refused to publish. Much
hat is in it has been in substance
published in the LEDGER and other
papers that kept the run Of events at
the time, and there is hardly anything
in the very prOlix and detailed stretch
out Of dry and inconsequentiAl irci-
dents that any paper in this State
could have objected to publishing
while the defalcatiOn was fresh in the
public mind. We have taken pains
to read this remarkable pOsthumous
communication very carefully. 1t
amounts to this and this only: two un-
principled sSAmps inTexas were trying
to get ahead in the race for the sup
posed reward of $4,000 offered for the
arrest and return of N. 7. Polk.
Polk like a singleton fell into
the trap. Quo detective without any
authority OF shadow of Law, employed
another to separate Polk from his com
paniOns, get him of and hide him in
the chspperal until the first one
could communicate with Governor
Hawkins and make SURF of the reward.
ScOundrel No saw q chance, as he
thought, to capture the prize, so he
played traitor aud sold out to Scoun.
drel No. 3. who 10 turn gave away tn,
whole business to Marshal Costing
who picksd up Polk and brought hin
to Nashville, aud was finally awarded
the greater part Of the prizs, as b,
probably deserved. 1t isa long story
and the only news in it is that a Loo O

and his deputies there seems to hav,
been no motive higher than a desire
to make the most money that any
course would command. After Poll
bought some oil these scoundrels over
and over they sold each other out, and
the best Of it sll is that the biggest
rascals we're the worst left. Bat for
their eagerness to make SO much Polk
would have got through to Mexico at a
cost Of five thousand dollars or so easy
enough, He seems to have been as
usual, only putty in their hands, aud
to have been squeezed for about all he
had in hand.
