It may be recollected that, in November last, in consequence of complaints having been made, perhaps by two or three disap. i pointed individuals, to the Commissioner ol the General Land Office. against Wm. Pel- ham, Surveyor General of Arkansas, the Secretary of the Treasury ordered the Dis- trict Attorney to open court, and call upon the individuals to support their allegations oy testimony.

 The court was opened, and remained so until the attorney for the prosecution sad ne was through.

 The District Attorney examined the testl, mony, and reported to the Secretary Of the Treasury, that, ill his opinion, the charges had not been sustained; ard also sent up all the testimony. After an examination of the testimony by the Secretary of the Treasury, the President of the United States nominated Gen. Pelham to the Senate, which body con- frmed his re-aPpointment.

 Gen. Pelham is an experienced surveyor, and devotes his entire time to the duties of his office, which is kept in excellent order.

 We take pleasure in giving place to the note of Judge Ringo-the more so, as he is generally known to the community, as gen. tleman of high moral worth.
