GENERAL ARMSTRONG.
We have pleasure in laying before our reader
the following official letters to General Armstrong
the late highly and universally respected postmasle
of this place:
Auditor's Office, P. O. Department,
May 31, 1845.
Sir: Having presented to you a statement of you
account as lute postmaster at Nashville, Tennessee
showing a balance due from you of $491 87, I hav<
now the pleasure to acknowledge that I have thii
day received from you a certificate ofdeposite madi
by you in the Bank of Washington, to the credit o
the Treasurer of the United States, for the servici
of the Pout Office Department, for the exact amoun
of jaiil balance.
To acknowledge, as I thus have, the setllemen
of your account, and the full and prompt paymen
of the amount claimed to be due, is no more thai
you had a right to ask, or than is freely accorded ti
ail. But 1 think a further acknowledgment is dui
to the length and value of your services. Recent
lug your appointment at the hand of Presiden
Jackson, in 1829, you had already served sevei
years when my connexion with the departmen
commenced, in 1836. In the nine years that havi
since elapsed, the department has had in its account
all the difficulties necessarily arising out of thi
changes in so large a system, consequent upon th
general failure of the banks in 1837, and the neces
nary abandonment of the deposite system; ujvoi
the establishment of the sub-treasury act in 1840
and again upon its repeal in 1841. Having come ii
for your full share of these difficulties, in additioi
to those peculiar to your local position M a collecto
and depositary of balances due from late postmas
ters, district attorneys, and others, it is but shee
justice for me to say that, in the midet of the whole
your duties have at all times been performed in thi
most correct and exemplary manner. Not a singli
instance has occurred during the whole term of you:
service, so far as I know, of your failure in anj
duty enjoined, whether of performance or report
nor has there been a single item of dispute in th
adjustment of your large accounts.
Regretting the termination of these valuable set
vices to the department, and with my best wishe
for your welfare in the distinguished position yo>
are about to occupy, I remain, dear sir, your ol*
dient servant,
P. G. WASHINGTON,
Auditor.
Gen. R. Armstrong,
Late postmaster; Nashville, Tennessee.
Washington, May 31, 1845.
Dkar sir: In compliance with your request,
have caused a statement of your accounts to b
made, which is transmitted, together with a letu
from the auditor, acknowledging the adjustment an
final settlement of the account.
In transmitting you these (mpcrs, it is but justic
to you, and a duty of the department, to say thi
the regular statement of your accounts?their a<
curacy not leaving one aingle item for controvert]
after a service of nearly sixteen years?the prom)
payment of all sums due the department, throug
a series of years of unexampled derangement in th
currency and of general embarrassment in the bus
nesa of the country, deserves and receives th
warmest commendation of this department.
In addition to this, it is propcratnat I should adc
that your connexion with the department has nc
been limited strictly to the duties of a deputy pos
master. Your position and character pointed yo
out as a proper individual for employment, on man
important occasions, as a special agent of the d<
partment, and as one of its collecting and disbun
mg agents. In the performance of these varied an
important duties, your conduct is believed to hav
net with the cordial approbation of the seven
heads of this department under whom you servet
Your energy, activity, and zeal in the performanc
of these varied duties, merit front the present hea
of the department no less commendation than th
prompt and accurate adjustment of your account
as the deputy postmaster at Nashville.
Whilst I cannot but regret the loos of so valuabl
an officer from the service of this department, it i
a source of gratification to know that your service
are properly appreciated by your fellow-citizeni
pnd that you have been transferred to a higher an
more important station, where your services will b
more extensively useful to the country.
1 am, very respectfully, your friend.
C. JOHNSON,
Postmaster General.

A nbw AMD woNDBRrix machine.?There L
nothing which more strongly characterises thi
power of human ingenuity than the invention am
, construction of a superior piece of mechanism
The inventions of Arkwright were of this nature
By the substitution of mechanical power in plao
- of the mind, volition, and muscular insiinct of th
1 operative, they have gradually changed the habit
and occupations of a great portion of the humai
e race.
a We saw yesterday one of these new invention!
S which appears to us destined to effect simile
changes, in due course of time, although of mucl
, more limited extent. It is a machine vfor makini
Tuscan braid?the material out of which, as ou
readers are well aware, the greater portion of th
e hats worn by all classes of our female populatio
I, are made. The world is supplied with this male
t- rial at present principally from Tuscany, where th
plait, or braid, is made by hand. Every peasati
0 girl may be seen with a piece of this work befor
i. her, as commonly as we used to find the Dutcl
1 Sir'S 'n t*me# w'1'1 their knitting before them
' ^he plait is made of a straw of peculiar finenesi
which is grown for the purpose in the fertile valley
( of the Arno. The straw is imported here in bun
dies of some six inches in length; and with tlies
i little pieces the machine of which we ate speaking
i. performs its work?executing, with one band t
drive and lend it, the work of sixteen operatives ii
It one day.
a A bundle of these straws is deposited on th
frame. The machine singles them out, rejects th
i imperfect ones, raises them, splices, plaits, and cut
a them at the proper moment, and carries off, withou
J cessation, a continuous braid of very regular am
uniform texture, und of a delicacy of workmanshi|
I superior to that which has hitherto been accom
li pltshed by the moat skillful fingers of Tuscany.
Elisha Fitzgerald, machinist, of 85 Christie street

- which is creditable, in the highest degree, to hi

t hundred and Afty dollars, and has been patented ii
f the United States and in England, and other part
, of Europe. The use of the invention in this coun
t try has already been sold by the inventor for wha
s appears to him a large sum?several thousand dol
1 lars?but for a price which will, in reality, bear bu
- a small proportion to its actual value. He is nov
r going to Europe, and will doubtless be able to dis
? pose of his right on better terms in that country
, where the merits of the invention will be mor
s readily appreciated.
f Mr. Ellsworth, former Commissioner of the Pal
ent Office?who, from much experience, could gen
; erally distinguish at once between genuine and spu
, rious inventions?spoke of this, at the time of th
application for the patent, in the highest termi
l And any one who sees it in operation, as we dii
yesterday, cannot fail to be struck with the singula
r excellence of the invention, and to wish success sin
cerely to Mr. Fitzgerald, who is one of our owi
- fellow-citizens.
We are indebted to Mr. Detheridge, of 27 Mer
- chants' Exchange, who is the agent for the applies
tion of this machine, for the opportunity of secini
, it in operation.?A*. Y. Ev. Poll.
1 N?w and important invention. A magnkti
i printing telegraph.?The application of this hid
den and mysterious power to the purposes of th
. rapid transmission of intelligence is yet in its infan
cy. There is now in this city a telegraph moved b;
the power of electro-magnetism, which perform'
it that which, in our boyish days, we would not hav
believed, if we had read it in the Arabian Nights
i. We have seen a specimen of printing done witn th
- usual letters of tne alphabet, and as legible to
it child as the clearest type, which was executed a
one enu ot a magnetic wire, inrougn a direction gtv
- en at the other. It i? true, as incredible as the state
e meat may seem to be, that a man might, if the wire
i were laid, now sit at New York, ana, with more ra
pidity than our best compositor can set type, priii
- at New Orleans a letter or despatch in the ordinar
letters of our language.
In a few days this invention will be made mor
generally known, when we will be at liberty t
e speak of it more fully. At present, arrangement
n are making for the perfection of the patents here am
in Europe. The telegraph itself we have not seer
and, in making the statements with regard to it, ar
if obliged to speak a little incautiously, from hearsay
i- But, as far as our inquiries go, there is no reason t<
Y doubt the representations that have been made to u
y on this subject; and as the practicability of the thin
itself, now that it has been discovered, carries n
i, improbability upon the face of it, it need not b
d questioned. The effects of this invention can hardl;
i- be anticipated. The substitution of the usual alpha
bet for the hieroglyphics of Morse's telegraph, isu
important and valuable improvement upon one c
the most wonderful discoveries of the age.

, From the Indian country.?Letters have beei
r received from the detachment of United State
troops, under the command of Colonel Kearney, ou
from Fort Leavenworth about eight days, and dis
tant some one hundred and thirty miles. The expc
r dition was progressing rapidly, and all were in gory
spirits and health. They had passed several com

s getting along well, ana with very little trouble
t About three thousand persons are'reported to be o
f the route. They are divided into companies of on
s to two hundred, which travel in advance of eac!
t other about a day's march. Each company ha
from 500 to 700 head of cattle. The emigrants ap
t pear to be a good class of people, possessing many o
t the conveniences, and some even of the luxuries o
1 life. A large party of the emigrants were severa
,, days in advance of the troops under Colonel Keai

Mr. Wethered, who has been engaged in th

1 C. Owens, he reached Independence on the 10th in
1 stant, in advance of the wagons and men, who wer

I this species of trade can be made profitable. Th
e company was composed of thirty-six men and si:
wagons. Several Mexicans are in company.
Of political news we have been able to gather i
few items. Gov. Armijo, who had made himsel
obnoxious to the people, by forced and exorbitan
y loans of money, and the imprisonment of the princi
pal merchants of Santa Fe, was superseded a day o
two before the company left, by the appointment o
Chaves in his stead.
The Detroit Banks.?The intclliiren
of the injunction of the Farmer* and Mechanic!
Bank of Detroit, is confirmed by a card from it
' officers, which we find in the Detroit papers. Th
,e injunction was obtained at the instigation of Mr. J
L. Lyell. The president says, in January last th
