 We had prepared an editorial rejoinder n the luminous article in the Gazette of the ;5ti inst, bearing the above title but .nr correspondent < Cache" has antiei- mated us, and as he has responded 10 the niece in extcnso, we will refer our read CTS 10 him, rather than trouble them with ear own views. We will merely suggest, that Gov. Pope has not let out the road to contractors but that he is himself the contractor for the whole route, and Rorer, Gray, Rutherford, and the rest, arc cm- ployed by him as underseers 10 him, the oYerseer.

 That Gov. Pope is himself the road con tractor, appears probable from this fact. Immediately on his arrival here from Ken lucky, he wrote to Louisville for plougiis and scrapers, to be used en the road.- Now he would hardly have done this, If he had intended to have let out the road to contractors. They would have been left ao pursue what course they doen,edt proper, to effect their contracts; but as the Go- vernon had resolved to keep the contract in his own hand, i. was to his CIV n interest 10 procure plougis and scrapers, as there- by he could expedite the work, save ex- pense, and have greater bonus for his trouble.

 This may be fair. The Governor knows the value of money, and if he should pay himself liberal commission for the dis burscment of s2o,oe0, who shall say him nay.
