| To tte Editor ofthe Gunner.

 DEAR SIR-I have, this even ing, seen the s'Banner' of the 18th instant and read with care the communication signed ssCandor,' in which he has done me the honor to notice me, in connexion with Col .4shley, respecting the conir- nation of my appointment, as Register of the Land Office at Fayetteville, by the U. s. Senate

 Why Col. Ashley was opposed to my con6rma- tion dol not know; nor is it my province to inquire. Suffice it to say, however, that I would not have thought il much to my credit to have received the support of man, although he has eontrived to get into the Senate of the United States, against whom a "GRAND JURY. of his countrymen, in the county where he resided, made the following Presentment ''At a meeting of the Grand Jury, on the last day of their session, it was resolved, UNANIMOUSLY that, from the TESTIMONY which has been ntrodu- ced before this Grand Jury, its THEIR OPINION that CHESTER ASHLEY has been GUILTY of the CRIME of ofSUBORNATION OF PERJURY, in having LOVELY CLAIMS proved up at the Land Office at Little Rock; although such evidence has not been sufficiently explicit and direct, upon which to found bill of INDICTMENT.
