B hey ate both wise aijd legitimate steps towards; the establishment of onr'postsofflce.system on a broad and compre hensive basis,, and,- if properly followed up, will eventually promote the postal Interests of 'our citizens. , ..Thp; National Government has been en trusted <with the duty of establishing post offices and post roads, and itannually expends millions of doilars.ih extending postal facili ties to comparatively new or sparsely populated regions, Which can by'no means recompense it for the. outlay .necessary to accommodate them—bnt they must bp supplied with mail communications to render tho system complete. As ah offset to this unremunerative service, it has always theoretically claimed (and Mr. How now seeks!n this city to enforce) tho right to monopolize tho whole business of the trans m issi on of mailable matter wherever a dense population and' an extensive correspondence render such a servico profitable. Nowhere, certainly, should it yield a more productive revenao .than in largo cities where immense masses are' congregated together, and if the Government, which 7 transmits our letters for three cents ouch, to' points a thousand miles distant, and which performs for ns much un profitable service, thinks it can derive a profit from conveying letters for a reasonable sum within our city.limita, it is entitled to that ad 'vantage. -Under the modern 1 British -postal system which ha? bebh eminently .successful, one of its most prolific sources of revenue has been the business of delivering local let ters;'which has heretofore been almost entire ly abandoned in thia city to private eater prise; The statistics on this snbjcct aro full of, interest and instruction.

In the United States alone, tho «<.young Jady* 5 who has picked up smatter ings of knowledge, od4s apd ends of useless information, cannot cook herimabansi’stjhmer, cannot set her house to rights, cannot sew a button-hole in his shirt.

The same authority infornii me tbat the Douglas toon have made an estimate of forty-Ave of the counties of that State, and that in these forty Ave countieo Douglas will beat Breckinridge more than four thousand votes. You ought to have nowe by tbla time of the Ken tacky Democratic State Convention, held on the 19th lost, to nominate candidates for the State officer to bo otected in August next. The Incumbent is a' Douglas man. If they nominate him they wiU be In a plokie, for then they will not dare to endorse Breokinridge; and even if he consented to ran under saoh an endorsement, he would be de feated. If they pat up & Breokinridge man the majority against him wilt be tremendous. The Seoassionbte carry on with a high hand in Ken tnoky. - They call meetings ignoring the Doug lasite*, and only inviting those who favor tho elec tion of Breokinridge and Lane. I am told that two of the present State officers, Hon. .Tames Bates nnd Hon. R. Richardson, are warmly for Douglas, and these aro sustained by sunh leading men as Hon. B, E. A. Grave*, Cot. Jewett, John C- Mason, (late member of Congress,) It. R. William* eon, Judge Trimble, D- P. White, (late Speaker ef the Hooae of Representative* of Hie State,) George Wood, and scores of others. So much for Mr. Breokinridge iu his own State. Nobody doubts that Kentucky will go largely for Bell find Everett. By the way, talking of Bell and Everett, that organisation, so much depreciated at first, may be come a very formidable movement atlast. Neither the Republicans nor the Douglus Democrats have »ey interest whatever in awaiting |t. HUtesinen Should be logiolans, and should deal with feet* without passion. It may be tho interest aliko .of the friend* of Douglas, and the friend* of Linceinj to conciliate The periy which Mr. Greeley, afetf months ago, laughed at as the “ Old Gentlemen’* party;” and why? Suppose New York should decide against Lloooln—suppose Illinois should go for- Douglas, and in view of the mixed poli tics of Ohio. and the strong enthusiasm for Douglas, and the weakness for Breokinridge, there is a pros «ect of Ohio declaring for the««Little Giant.” In dlana rings with enthusiasm for Mm. Now, if tho election of Douglas goes Into the House, and the friends of Douglas and Lincoln have to oboose be tween BeU and Breokinridge, whioh wlil they take?

Leaden must look at erints philesophioally and take their j own bonne by.- tiool calculation.

He Is anativoof the'old township of Roy boro ugh,. in this county, and spent his boyhood in tho village of Manuyunk. His father was, for many years, engaged in manufaotnrlng counterfeit tcoiri and fraudulent issues of hank notes, and by this means amazed a considerable amount of property. Wil liam followed iu tho footsteps of his illustrious predecessor, and with the same success-having followed this nefarious business from his earliest years up to the present time. He is now between forty-five and fifty years of age, diminutive in size, of rather prepossessing appearanoe, of an ex ceedingly pleasant and hospitable disposition, when bis purposes can be served, and enjoys probably as extended an aoqn&intanoe as almost any other' man living in the olty of Philadelphia. 1 His father raised a large family of children, and died some years ago at Manayunk. His son Wil liam was pot his favorite by any means, and oonse* quently, at his death he cqtblm off with a shilling , William, nothing daunted by this unexpected treat* [ ment, however, Borne years afterwards produced a note for several thousand dollars against his father’s estate (which note, by the way, was doubt* less a forgery,) brought suit in our eourts for '4h© amount, and was finally successful in receiving the sum demanded. s * With tho ready money thus obtainod, Oyegar purchased a farm near the liUlo town of Franklin* ville, on tho banks of the Skippock,"in Montgo mery county. He still resides thero in the summer season. The farm has been highly cultivated, the buildings are oommodions and substantial, tho grounds handsomoly laid out, and many of his companions in guilt have frequently resorted to this feclydpd spot for a temporary asylum, when pursued by fbe otnceraof tjro jaw. . In tnis connection we may say that Qteflor has, perhaps, done more to furnish victims fob the peel Jentjary tb«p apy man in this country, yet, by his. ahrotrdtmsa, and by his waailh. When qriyeri 't4 thp Jie bos peqrJy always managed esoapp pqmabfijent {ifmself. by' corrupting police officers, and P&t infrequently higher officials.

Ho owns a boo rasMePG* in the Twentieth ward in this city, besides bis farm in Montgomery, and several other proper.ies of less value. His means have d notion been considerably reduced, by the forge gums upended ia effecting his release when arrested qu sundry charges, if a has, how ever, notwithstanding corrupt ojl}oials, esrypi out, terms in Reading, Lancaster, and Philadelphia , prisons. I Borne twonty years ago ho was tried at Reading ' on the charge ofcounterfeitiog, but escaped punish ment by turning State’s evidence. At that time he disclosed a great deal of interesting information in relation to the manufacturing of counterfeit coin.

Ifo was fortunately discovered before his attempt proved saooestfQi, and convicted and sent to the penitentiary. In 1814 Cregar waft arrested in this olty on tho charge of being concerned in a series of robberies and counterfeiting operations at the Gap, in Han* caster county, in ceuipaoj with the notorione Clemson gang who infested that region for so maoy, Searc Clemson, as oar readers will remember. as convicted a few years ago on the charco of passing counterfeit money and sent to the peniten tiary, after having escaped justice on many pbsrgei of a mjicb more serious nature, and terminated bis■ existence by banging himself in his cell at Cherry Hill, a short time «fter being admitted there. ! ‘ In 1861. a peforious horse-thief and counterfeiter, named George Burton, was arrested by Officer Samuel GouJdy, at tho Gap rendezvous, in Lines** ter oountr. who started with him for tbl* city. Ho had Burton heavily* handoufleiViioff ironed.'' When they reached 9 point near Wept Philadel phia, and while the cars were travelling at the rate of forty miles an h ogr, Burton lumped from the train, and, before It could be stopped, so sudden and unexpected was this movement to Mr. Gonldey, be made his escape Avery effort was made to effect his reoapturc, bat to no avail.

Distinguished military 'characters, In S boxes andiin the wing* of the fUge, were mo7 «d- Spontaneous eombastteu woe the any Individual. There was no resisting the regular fall of feet upon the boards, the unfaltering front bearing here and there tbesympatby of all the arm*, of all the flnger-sndrf that controlled andope rated them, the certainly of reeponeo to the most delicate call the da?h and ardor of the youog men, the pfeturerquenessof their every attitude, the bap- P 7 lightness of their carriage, the novelty of so many of their tootles. tho confidence of their boyish osptaio. revenl new wondersof discipline wore rev a sharp support of arms; a side step for symmetrical position ; a silent drill of loadtog and firing at will, the looks clicking one click, ana the b<uu rapping one rap; a look step in which, link ed by each other’s arms, the corps moved like some novel snake, coillog and dragging its length. I bore were rare advances to the very footlights, and orderly dispersions when clashing seemed cer tain, attitudes taken so suddenly the breath was held, and brilliant exploits beyond the reaoh even of the simplest descrip ion. The exeroises were divided into five parts, the intervals of which were filled with music; non*of It, of course, was martially distinctive. Unused to such confinement, the actor* suffered greatly from the heat, and Imbibedjppiocsly of. the iced water provided behind the scenes. S-veral were forced to withdraw from serviee by Inability to keep their feet upon the polished floor. The prone movements were those that most ex cited all the people. Several bad not been seen before. The lively turn-down of the men, vulgar ly designated the “ belly-movement,” (sUbongb. truly, the word was more used than either stomach or abdomen in the period of Jonah and tho origi nal Prince of Waits, an* was deemed quite pro per,} pro voked hilarity. Bat the response to the or dew to load and fire in horiaontal position was, perhaps the climax of the evening’s wonder. In stantaneously, the bodies revolved and were face upward, and thus disposed, with precisely «s much uoanimity as In the oommop|mannsl of arms, the Zooaves loaded their pieces. While the spectator speculated whether they would be discharged at that Sow level, another order brought the whole oorpa to their feet, with all tha advantage over the enemies of our country with whom the imagination could easilv people the rear of the stage, these having shot clear over tha outstretched persons of the gay musketeers. During an entire intermission the men kept the floor, the postures of all befog un constrainedly graceful Did anybody contrast these incomparable soldiers with the melancholy crerftures in uoiform which the stage offers as fair representatives of tke trade of war, and revert to the sad marches aod terrible collisions of the im memorial four who constitute the army ofßiohard? Nor mast we neglect to mention a very quaint tarilo that preceded these tactics on the ground. It wps in the lock step, men were involving without confusing their respective feet, and, as stated previously, the Hoe resembled a brilliant qsrpent. There oams an order to halt. The bead and tail of the animal oame together. JCt another order It doubled up.
