 r. W. TRAPNALL. The third is the letter of Mr. Johnson to us on the sane subject We have furnished the editor of the Gazette a copy for publication.

 LITTLE RocK, August 25, l64i. DR. s. BoBLAND,

 Dear Sir: Mir TrapnaIl has this moment read to me a letter, addressed by him to the Editor o the Gazette, concerng the remission by Governor YELL, of portion of the sentence of Samuel c. Ifotc- bridge That letter will be published Ill the next Gazette, and aso as 1 understand, in the next Ban her In regard to the subject o that letter. desire to say that the whole arrangement for the remission of the several terms of Imprisonment ot IroWbndge and Wilson, was made without my knowledge or aid. But, also, that, acting Attorney General al that time, authorized Mir. Trapnall, who had com menced the prosecutions in my absence, and whose efforts had been sgnalized by extraordinary energy and success, to make any arrangement, WlIh the prisoners which his judgment mightdictate, having in view either the protection of our citizens wig had already suffered by their yllainy, the dscoye- " of new crimes. did this the more willingly, be- cause l then had, as have stiIl full confidence in Mir. Trapnall's skill and devotion in the pursuit and as he was, at that time the probable sufferer under loss of SI4G00, or SI5000, Of Arkansas money, which had been stolen by Trowbrdge and others. When Mir. Trapnall had made the arrange ment under general authority from Gov. Yell and myself, the terms off the arrangement for the first time announced 10 me. l approved of them then: and do so still. Gov Yell was as active as either MT. Trapnall, myself, any else, in detecting and prosecuting this band of robbers and consider that he is not only justly exempt from all censure but eminenty entitled to the gratitude of the com nunity, for his public spirited exertions. In his capacity of Chief Magistrate, he sought to detec other crimes, as well as to punish those already dis covered; and thus to protect the suffering citizens as well as to yindcate the laws of the land. If cen sure is to fall any ene in this matter, let 1t fa on Nr IfaPaGN aaa mySelfSand not itore on hia than on me; for what he did, faPproeed. And ask to see the who rendered to the country, througi the progress of those trials, more faithful beneficial and successful services than he did

 Let MT. Borden have copy of this, for publica ton, if he desires it.

 Very truly yours Sc.

 R. w. JOHNSON.
