From the Galveston News.
Judging from the following proceedings and the ac-
1 company mg letter of Mr. Parsons, we are bound to believe
we nave aoue an act ot injustice to ivir. ltottenstein
(however unintentional), in publishing tbe article handed
to us for that purpose lust Friday, as taken from a paper
printed in Washington city. It is but justice also to state,
that several gentlemen acquainted with the German lan-
guage, have assured us that the translation is not strictly
correct. We cannol, however, believe there was any in-
tention io mislead the English reader. Some embarrassing
circumstances attended our last publication, which presen-
ted the comments we had intended to make on the article
in question for it certainly was the farthest from our
intention even to appear to sanction it We trust thai the
'full vindication we publish to-day, endorsed fry some of
our most respectable citizens, will put, these injurious
charges to rest, both here and also in Hsu&ioa, where, as
we learn, they have hnd considerable circulation, especial-
ly among our German population. Wetfecl it our duty
liiusto correct the error we have uot uard-edly committed;
and we hope the pape'rs oj Washington city aBdSt. Louis,
where these statements appear Id have orignsled, will do
Mr. Rottenstein the justice to publisiulse following
defence? ? .'

J. W. Rice, Sec.
Rev. G. Rottenstein:
Dear Sir
With much regret I noticed in the last "News" a " base
attempt to injure your character and lessen your usefulness
in Texas. The extract fiom the "National Zeitung"
properly Viewed, cannot, I think, have any influence with
moral men, for it is evident that the writer and translator
of it are enemies, not only of yourself hut of your church
and the German emigrants friendly to it. Such characters
persecuted our blessed Saviour and of course will per
secute you and his other most devoted followers. The
charge brought against you 1 believe to be an unjust and
malicious one. It never appeared in Mobile lo my
knowledge. Permit me to state further; that when I left
Mobile and far two 'years previous, you were highly re
spected and esteemed by that religious community, that
you-labored there very 2e2lously and doubtless profitably
and(satisfucian!y, andt jiever heard you spoken of but in

Hannibal His passage to the Alps. The pride of
the French historians has often led them lo compare Na-
poleon's passage of the Great Si. Bernard to Hannibal's
passage ofthe Alps; but without detracting from the well
earned fame ofthe French General it may safely be affirm-
ed that his achievement will be no sort ofa comparison
with the Carthngenian hero. When Napoleon began
the ascent of the Alps from Martjgny, on the shores ofthe
Rhone, and above the lake of tbe Geneva, he found the
passage ofthe mountains cleared by the incessant transit
of two thousand years. Tbe road, impracticable for car-
riages, was very good for horsemen and foot passengers,
and was traversed by great numbers of both in every season
of the year. Comfortable villages on the ascent and
drscent afforded easy accommodations to the weary soldiers
both by day nhd by night: the ample stores ofthe monks
at the summit, and provident foresight of the French Gen-
erals had provided a meal to every man and horse that pas-'
sed. No hostile troops opposed, their passage, the guns
were drawn up in-sledges made of hollowed firs; -and "in
four days from the time they began. the ascent from the
banks of the Uhone, the French troops, without losing a
