P ost O ïfiob .— Public attention is referred
to the Card of C. G. B bjidkinbidok , K«q.,
the nowly appointed Postmaster tor tin«
city. Mr. B. give» notice that the Citi
zen»' Post Office will be re-opened for
business on Monday next, on Boulevard,
near Third street.
The locality solicited for the oflico, al
though a central one iib relating, to the
corporato limits of the city, is by no means
central, in a business point of view. How
ever, it is the best selection that can be
made for the present, end as soon as prac
ticable a more convenient «'lté will bo
procured.
Whilo about to change our "base of
operations" for the transmission and re
ception of mailable matter, we cannot take
leave of our friend, C. K ubebh , Esq., the
Military Postmaster hore, without renew
ing to him our unfeigned acknowledg
ments for the uniform courtesy he has
shown u# and our citizens generally, in
the way of postal accommodations. Hi»
kindness will long be remembered.
A Pit a (he wo it tut Movie.--We learn that
military enterprise has been directed to
the rebuilding of the Bridge across the
Comité Hiver on the road between this
and Clinton. A force of about fifty men,
wo are informed, are engaged upon the
work. Wc recognize in this movement
the characteristic energy and disposition
of Brigadier General F onija , the excellent
and efficient Commander of this Post.
The citizens In their present state of pe
cuniary disability, will have' great cause
to thank (Jouerai F onda , for his prompt
■action in this matter. The government
might do a great deal toward co-operating
with our people in the restoration gener
ally of the public roads und bridges to a
good condition, and not fool it,—wheroas,
if the people have to iissume the burden
of such a task without some extraneous
aid, it will press very heavily upon their
limited moans und resouroert, and severely
cripple many ol them in their efforts to
get fairly started once more 011 the high
road to prosperity.
M vstkbious !—We learn that the skull
ami bones ol' a lyiraan being have been
disinterred in a yard 011 tliocornur of Main
and Third streets. A Frenchman, who
»com» to be laboring under some mental
derangement—(having twice made inef
fectual efforts to destroy himself—first
with a pistol and «fterwards by throwing
himself into a well )—was the ono to reveal
the spot where the discovery was mado.
The mattor awaits investigation and
nhould bo thoroughly probed.
A Goon L oad .—The steamer tasAùin, on
lier last trip down, had ori board, when she
landed here, on Thursday night, ü,777
bales of cotton, besides sundry other
freight. It looks like old times to soe
steamers tugging away down siream with
cargoes of cotton feaching from the hold to
the upjier decks.
S tkamhoat D isastë ». —The steamer
lieindur, bound tor Mobile from Now Or
leans, exploded her larboard boiler at the
mouth of tho Kigolets, on Wednesday last
killing three persons and badly scalding
the captain and clerk, boisides abont twen
ty live others. She had on board some
six passengers, including ono lady.
UfeÜäT G. M. H illver , Esq., long and
favorably known as the able and talented
editor of the Natchez Courier, before the
war, has resumed the pen in his old fam
iliar sanctum attached to the office of that
journal. We re-extend liirn the hand of
good fellowship and wish him unbounded
prosperity.
lr&~ A New York paper, by a mistake
of the printer, wa* mado to say of the
•'Hello of Newport,'that "»he hadafow
berries in her rod hair," instead of "a few
red berries in her hair." The printer
wasn't far wrong after all, if the •'Belle,"
was in the fashion, (which she ought to
have boon, being of course, a fashionable
lady,) of wearing her hair red, a la Pari
tienne.
CtSitlcAi. W it .— Ono day after services,
tiomc thirty years ago, as the Ute venera
ble Paraon C., sometimes called rather a
dry preacher, was walking from church
■with tho late well-known Parson Bradley
of Westbrook, whose guest ho was, and
whose pulpit he Jtiad just been supplying,
the former took occtaion to remark that it
always made him "hungry to preach.''
Whereupon the latter immediately ex
claimed : "It makes you hungry w preach!
»hat do you think ol the ptopltf"
Vandalism Paradlug Itself.
Spoliations of property arc the unavoid
able attendants of a ruthless war. For
thoso, there may be some sort of justifiable
pretext, on the principle that "to tho vic
tors belong tho spoils"—a principle which
war politicians like civil ones, are ever
ready to put Into pructice in the distribu
tion of offices and office pap among parti
Hans of thoir own peculiar stripo.
To depredate upon property, to destroy,
burn, kill—are the chief inliorent accom
paniments ot tho "grlm-visagod mons
ter," originating in a remote barbaric ago,
and handed down as an heir loom to our
present age of boasted civilization and eh"
lightonmont to ho nurtured and perfected
by ail the arts and appliances which skill
and science,and a religious zeal can bring
to bear in its favor.
Thero are thoso who, it may be,arc pro
foundly imbued in ordinary seasons, with
»sense of ethical propriety regarding the
doctrine of m< am el luvm, but who cun
bring themselves to look complacently
upon a thorough reversion of that doctrine
when practlcod in atinio of war. Tho set
phrase that "all's fair in war," servos them
a facile term, whereby to justify unmerited
wrongs and injustice. War certainly is a
game, not of tho "kid-gloved" order, and
is no respecter of the pacific usages of so
ciety; and all within its corn pas» arc liable
to be subjected to those ills and unhappy
consequences which are classed in tho cate
gory 6fits "fortunes;" so that what often
times goes to make up what is termed tho
"fortunes of ivar' provo in an adverse ra
tio to bo the misfortunes and ruin of a peo
ple. Patience and fortitude may serve to
philosophize in time a people to the endu
rance of great moral wrongs and injuries
done them by the devastating scourge of
the "fiory god of battles." They may
loam to look on these its inevitable conse
quences; as perhaps "blessings in dis
guise," but thero is & class of evils—tho
fungits ortshobts of war—which besides the
injurioa they inflict, carry with them such
a load of vilcnoss and contempt, as to
cause forbcurunee to "cease to bo a virtue. '
In this class is comprised In human shape,
tho jackals which following in tho wake
of destruction, and keeping a conveni
ent distance from it, prey upon the "leav
ings." Of those, are that pestiferous gang
of speculators and plunderers who, vam
pire-like, would suck tho lastdron of life
blood from a blooding country and its un
fortunate people, in order to glut their ra
pacious appetites for gain. These are ol
an indigenous as well as exotic character.
Next swarm that smaller fry of felonious
gently who botray an itching palm for
everything that happens to come in their
way, whether wioldy or unwieldy. Some
times they assume the character of real or
amateur artists, and falling in love with
the pictures, statues and other embellish
ments of a gentleman's parlor, studio, or
sleeping room, make off with those objects
of their devotion, and by sending them
away to distant parts, manage to enrich
themselves upon those spoils. Occasion
ally, in their explorations, they come
across some useful or ornamental 011 t-door
appendage, and, presto! away it is trans
lated also, to sorno other sphere to servo
out its destiny. To aggravate tho matter,
thoso objects are sometimes held up by
venal writers in a light calculated to re
flect odiously upon thoir origin and pur
pose, and the country whence they are ab
stracted. Our attention has been called
to a ease in point. The Cleveland (Ohio)
Ilerahl in its eagerness to disparage South
orn character, must needs publish tho fol
lowing unblushing paragraph :
"A Curious Relic ot Slavery. —Tho iron
statuette of a negro, that stands in front
of Mr. Burridge's residence 011 Euclid
avenue—doing duty as a hitching post—
was procured from in Iront of a Baton
Kongo slave pen, where it. was used as a
sign. Tho pioce of iron that it extends in
0110 hand, is a cotton hook—an instru
ment that assists in the handling of cotton
bales. The statuette is artistic in model
ing and expression, and is an interesting
relic of defunct slavery."
Now, bo it known, that the well-known
statuetto above referred to was purchased
by a worthy citizen of Baton Kongo, from
a northern house, and that it was designed
and manufactured at tho North for the
very purpose to which it was assigned
hero, namely, as a hitching post for horses,
and no other. Tho idea that it was used
-a* a "sign" in front of a "slave-pen" is
not sustainod by a particle of truth, and
could have only originated in » disordered
imagination, a willful distortion of fact,
or an over-credulous mind. Writers of
the Herald editor's persuasion, talk very
glibly about "slave-pens" and all that
sort of thing, bnt wo cannot remember
that our city was ever honored by any
such delectable institution. The artistic
statuette which excites at once the admi
ration and (on account of the associations
with which he invests the innocent ob
ject), the gentle abhorrence of the writer,
occupied a position fronting a building,
which was thon used for law offices.
But how, when and by whom, was that
statuette mysteriously spirited away to
Cleveland, where it is now paraded an a
frontispiece to Mr. Burridge's premises,
No. lOfi Euclid avenuo, where it was seen,
identified and mado a note of by one of
our citizens some time «ine« t
In one of our courts lately, a man
who was called upon to appear as a witness
could not be found. On the Judge asking
where he was, an elderly gentleman rose
up, and with much emphasis said, "Your
honor, he's gono." "Uouo 1 gone !" said
the judge, "where's he gone ?" "That I
cannot inform you," replied the communi
cative gentleman, "but lie's dead." This
is considered the host-guarded answer on
record.
Tub Atlantic Cadlk .—Tho n .orthern
papers are running all »orts of rigs on the
groat failure following tho second attempt
to lay the Atl an tio Telegraph Cable. Many
of thom deem tho failure a permanent
0110 and beyond redemption.
The Boston I'ott seriously deprecates a
third attempt to lay the cable, as contem
plated by tho "wire workers," and says,
"tho public will think tho timo better em
ployed in putting up the posts for tho land
wires which might ha "e now been work
ing had tho money spent in two Atlantic
cables boon directed to u practical purposo,
where obstacles could bo foreseen and pro
vided ugsinst, and whore permanent inter
ruption would be impossible."
The l'ont give» it as its opinion also,
that thero "will bo little genuine regret io
America at the failure of this Atlantic
work. The schorno was a purely an English
ono, onginoored by Englishmen and by
English capital, and tlioro was a grasping,
illiberal odor about tho whole enterprise,
and certain contingent dangers also, which
rendorod it objoetionabre to Americans,
though they would hovo boon tho first to
offer thoir congratulatations upon its sue
cos» and the most generous with their pat
ronngo. But now that tho unconquerable
obstaclesof a submarine telegraph are fully
demonstrated, it is for citizens of the Uni
ted IStatos to aid tho effort in another di
rection, for the same object. Tho country
which first taught tho great tolegraphic
principle should accomplish its most tri
umphant application. There are better
routes for tho electricity than tho ocean
one, and as other countries aro ready to do
thoir share of tho important work, let us
not be backward in performing ours."
A Kion M abbiaok C kkkmony .—Tho fol
lowing description of a marriage in Illin
ois, by a newly appointed Justice of tho
Peace, who is something of a wag, is taken
r ,rbatim from a lottor written to a friond
in this city. Mo says :
Having boon appointed to the desirable
'posish,' of Justice of tho Peace, I was ac
costed on tho 5th of July, by a sleek-look -
ing young man, and ill silvery tones, re
quested to proceed J.o a neighboring hotel,
as ho wished to enter into tho holy bonds
of matrimony. Here was a "squelcher."—
I had never done anything of the kind,
had no books or forms; yet I was deter
mined to do tilings up strong, and in a
legal manner, so I proceeded to tho hotel,
bearing in my arms one copy of the Revis
ed Statutes, one ditto Webster's Un
abridged Dictionary, ono copy large sized
Bible, a small copy of tho creed and arti
clesof Faith ofthe Congregational Church,
ono copy of Pope's Essay on Man, and a
sectional part of the map where the victim
lived. Having placed a table in the mid
dle of the room, and seated myself behind
it, 1, in trumpet tones, called tho case.—
With that the young man and woman,
with great alacrity stopped tip before lue.
Having sworn them 011 tho dictionary to
answer well and truly all tho questions I
was about to usk, 1 proceeded. 1 told the
young man that, being an entire stranger,
I should have to ask him to givo bail for
the costs. Having heard this so frequent
ly in court, I thought it indispensable.—
flu answered if I meant tho foe for perform
ing the ceremony, lie would deposit it then
and there. As 1 did not know exactly
what. I did mean, 1 magnanimously waiv
ed that portion of the ceremony. I then
told him it would bo necessary to givo
bail to keep tho peace. This I10 said ho
was willing to do when he arrived at
homo, and I then waived that point also.
Having established to my satisfaction
that that they wanted to get married, and
that they wore old enough to enter into
that blessed state, I proceeded to tie tho
knot. I asked him if he was willing to
take that woman to be his wifo. He said
he was. 1 told him that I did not require
haste in the answer, that ho might reflect
for a few minutes if ho wished. I told
hira sho looked like a fine girl ; and 1 had
no doubt she was, but if tho sequel proved
that ho had boon taken in, 1 did not want
to be hold responsible. I said ho must love
honor, and obey her as long aB she lived.—
Ho must not be "snappy" around tho
house, nor spit tobacco juice on tho floor,
all of which ho promised faithfully to
hoed.
"Now," said I, "Georgiana (her name
was Uoorgiana,) you hear what Humphrey
says. Do you accept tho invitation to bo
conic his wife? will you be lenient toward
Iiis faults and cherish his virtues/ will
you never bo guilty of throwing furniture
at his hoad for slight offences? and will
you get three meals a day, without grum
bling ?" Sho said sho would. I asked
them if they believed in tho command
ments, and they said they did. Having
read the creed and articles of faith, as
aforesaid, 1 exclaimed : "Humphrey, take
her ; sho is yours; I cannot withhold my
consent." "Georgiana, when safe in tho
arms of your Humphrey, you can defy the
scoffs and jeers of the world."
I then road a little from tho "Essay on
Man," including that passage, "Man watlts
but little hero below, but wants that little
long." As a finale to the scene, I deliver
ed the following exordium : "Go in peace;
sin no more."
The generous Humphrey having placed
a fifty cent check in my unwilling palm, 1
bade the happy pair «(final adiou.— Mis
souri Bepuhlican.
A n A ge of M agnitude . —As the New
York Herald says, "We live in the age of
great events. Everything which is dono
now is on a scale of magnitude never be
fore contemplated. The gigantic Atlantic
cable is being laid by the largest ship in
the world. The Suez canal, uniting tho
Mediterranean and Red seas, will soon be
completed. The tunnel through the Alps
at Mount Cenis will find no impediment to
its successful construction by the discov
ery of almost impenetrable quartz. The
Hoosier tunnel will be a fait accompli.—
The City of Chicago is about to be supplied
with water from Lake Michigan by a tun
uel bored under its bed. In this city, on
Saturday, we bad another evidence of the
magnitude with which things are done in
these days. Six enormous boilers, one of
whjoh alone weighed sixty tons, were safe
ly put on board the gunboat Dunderberg
with mechanical precision, and an ease
which, to those uninitiated in the business,
looks positively marvellous. The ponder
ous machinery, the largest ever built, was
deposited in the hull of the largest iron
clad ever constructed without the slight
est difficulty or disaster. These are a few
of the worka of immense magnitude which
cb»ract«riz9 tl»e present age."
