Report of th f Postmaster General. The Postmaster General's report shows ! the number of Postoffice.- in June 30th, i 18 3p, t() have been 25,5G5, being an in- I S crease of 4,664 in four years. On the 30ih of June there were in operation near- | ly 8000 mail routes, the length of which is estimated at 239,642 miles, costing $6,- 356,474, divided as follows: —20,323 miles of railroad, 14.951 steamboat, and 50,453 coach lines, and nearly 154,000 of inferior trades. The increase during the last tis- ; c?l vear was nearly 20,000 miles of rait* road, and 332 miles of steamboat, 1,250 miles of coach lines, and 8,200 miles of j inferior grades. In Nebraska and Kansas I 2.238 miles were added to the length of routes. Between the first of July, 1852, and July Ist, 1856, the railroad service was increased 10,177 miles, exhibiting the fact that within that time this description ! of service was more than doubled. On the Ist of December, 1856, the length of railroad routes had increased to 21,310 miles, and the total cost for this service at that date amounted to $2,403,747. The whole cost of the inland serv ice on the Ist of July, was $6,526,028. The Secretary alludes to the Panama Railroad Company seizing on the occasion i L-if the withdrawal of the steamers via Nic r.amjrua to force the Department to pay ! ■what lie considers an exorbitant price across the Isthmus; and he recommends the making of a regular contract not ex ceeding $50,000 per annum with that Company and a contract not exceeding $2,000,000 per annum via Nicaragua, or Tehuantepec so # as to give a "weekly mail between the Atlantic ports and California." i The expenditures for the year 1850, ' were $10,405,286, and the gross revenue including annual appropriations for free mail matter $7,620,821, showing a defic iency of $2,787,000. He recommends I the abolition of the franking privilege and the compulsory pre payment of all tran sient printed matter. Also the repeal of the act of 1845, which gives the Postmas ter General discretionary authority to make new contracts for Ocean steamship service. He alludes to the fact that embracing the branch fiom New Orleans to Havana J there are now four ocean steamship lines j running out of New York, at an expense of $1,498,000 per annum. No reason is perceived why one part of the country should be preferred to the exclusion of! others. Among other points it is slated that negotiations are in progress with a view to the reduction of the British transit charge on United States closed mails and the rate of postage between the United .States and Great Britain to 12 cents a sin gle letter or more. Secretary of the iDterior'g Report. The Secretary of the Interior's Report states the quantity of land surveyed since last report and up to the 3d of September last at 16.853.699 acres, exclusive of I school sections. The execution of the graduation act lias raised many grave ques tions wiiich call for the interposition of Gongress. lie says it is important that the matter be promptly disposed of either by sanctioning and affirming the action of the Land office, or directing the patents to j be issued without further requirements. j The quantity of lands sold for cash du- ' sing the fiscal year was over 9,250,000 acres, and the receipts therefor $8,821,414. The total amount of land disposed of is over 39,000,000 acres. He suggests a necessity for further power being granted to the Commissioner of Pensions to sus pend and 'diminish and discontinue pen sions where the reason for granting them has wholly or partially ceased. The num ber of patents issued within the year will probably reach 2,500. The report says •That during the present administration 52 Indian treaties have been negotiated, 20 of j which remain to be acted upon by the .Sen . By the treaties Indian titles have been ; extinguished to nearly 175,000 acres of land. Tut aggregate money consideration therefor is $11,184. The Indians within our borders are supposed to number about 300,000. The process of civilization among the Indians has already been atten ded with the happiest result and gives promise of steady progress in the anielwra tion of their physical and moral condition. The Secretary of the Navy's Report. The Secretary of the Navy gives a de ■tailed view of the operations of the navy •during the last year and its present strength. Among his recommendations are:—for another squadron in the Pacific, rendered necessary by our extending commerce; for the adoption of the English and French system of gunnery on practice ships; and for the despatch of a small steamer to sur vey the Guano Islands on which Commo dore Merrine made an unsatisfactory re port. The Secretary regards the construc tion of the six war steamers as inaugurat- i ing a new era in the naval service and re peats his former recommendation for buil- ! ding steam sloops of war of small draft. I he sending out of seamen to relieve dis- I tant crews is spoken of as an experiment and will be continued if it shall work well, j I he Secretary likewise recommends the appointment of assistant pursers with mod erate compensation. paper discontinued until all ar rearages are paid," say many of our exchan ges.

The Glory of Civilization. —Cresar has been characterized by Shakspeare as "the foremost man of all the world." Wo judge of men by a different standard now, for we have a man much greater than Caisar. The triumphs and glories of all the Caesars were as nothing compared with the triumphs of Professor Hollow Ay. When "the great Ctesar" was dispatched to Gaul by the Roman Senate, the first communication they received from him was the epigrammatic announcement, "I l came, I saw, 1 conquered." When Holloway, under the influence of a noble philanthropy, and guided by a sound philosophy, entered I on his mission of happiness to nian, his suc cesses might well have been recorded in the : words, "1 came, 1 saw, I saved." Ctesar, ! during his campaign in Germany, determined to rise up with his army against the State; his first step was to cross the Rubicon. A chaos of bloodshed, wickedness and anarchy ensued, which the world has seldom seen since then. Holloway, disgusted and shock ed with the futility of the means commonly employed to counteract disease and preserve health, set his energies to work to devise a new and universal curative; his first step was to consult Nature. Nature responded, and ! his medicines, scattered over the face of this j broad and beauteous earth, shed their bles- : sings on suffering myriads, and brought j health to countless homes from which other- • wise peace and happiness would have forever fled. When Ctesar entered Rome in Triumph, the envious Marcellus exclaimed: "What tributaries follow lilni to Home To grace In captive lunila his chariot wheels." We all know how the imperial despot's . wretched prisoners were made a prominent ; feature of the savage ovations by which his victories were celebrated. Mark how the times havo changed. Our Ctesar rejoices in no tributaries purchased with tears and blood. Holloway's laurels have not been bought by human slaughter and desolated homes. Ills triumphs have been triumphs over disease and death; and his most valua ble reward has been the prayers and blessings of thousands of grateful hearts with whom his name and fame have become "household words." Cassias, though one of Ctesar's foes, ac knowledged his greatness when he said: " Vc- (Sods. It dotli amaze me how he should So get tin* st.ri of tills majestic world. And bear the palm alone."' But what a hollow greatness was Caesar's compared with Holloway's. What a cruel : end he had. lie lived by the sword, and \ died by the sword. He was murdered by his j "friends." Thus ended the career of the i greatest ruler of the greatest republic the old world and the old times have ever had. But ' here in this new world and in these later ! times we have a republic greater, truer, purer j than that of Rome in her palmiest days.— ! And here, too, we have a new Ctesar whose deeds and fame will be coimnensurated with its greatness, and whose claims to the admi ration and respect of the world now and in future times do not rest upon the number of human beings he has slain or the desolation he has made, but on the number of human beings he has saved, and the blessings of health and happiness which lie litis bestowed j on humanity in tiic discovery of his uiirucu j lous remedies.— Huston Traveller. QUEER SPECIMEN OF IRISH MOD ESTY. The Citizen, published in this city, is a paper devoted to the interests of the Irish j in America, and is owned and edited by ; an Irishman. In his last issue he offers advice to Mr. Buchanan in dealing out the loaves and fishes of his in-coming admin- ; istration. He complaininglv asserts that not a single Ir shman holds a cabinet ap pointment, and atnotig all our foreign mitt- j isters and consuls, there are but five who are natives of the Emerald Isle, and of these, three of them, says the Citizen, are consulships iri Ireland " which no decent American would accept " This is too bad. To send an Irishman back to Ire land is the very refinement of cruelty—or at least, the Citizen appears to regard it in that light. But, worse even thnn this, it says that there are but seventy-five Irish men in lite New York Custom House, while there cannot be less than eighty na tives of New England feeding at that well stocked crib. The Citizen suggests a very proper remedy for the crying evils it com-, plains of. It says, that "a clean sweep ought to be made" of every New Eng ender, and Irishmen, of course, should be put in their places. In concluding a long article in bis paper this modest editor says: "The Irish have in the late election decided not only the fate of the Democratic party, but the fate of the Union. While natives worked hard for the destruction of the Union, Irishmen worked as hard, and more successfully, to save it." Only think of it—the American Union saved by the voter of Irish yi/-riots, seven-eighths of whom can neither read nor write. Be jahers ! Pay the bill at once ! —.V. V. Brother Jonathan. is said that Mr. Buchanan has ten dered an office to Gov. Wise of Virginia. We eau hardly believe this to be true, as no step that the President elect could take would go farther towards alienating the conservative men of the north from him, than by taking to his counsels one of the worst of southern disunion intriguers, one too whose sanity is doubted by many. * jjgyThc Bald Eagle Lumber manufactur ing Company of Centre county has been or ganized and appointed 11. 11.

The Ladies, gentlemen, mer chants, traders, farmers, laborers, and all oth ers are therefore invited to a grand display (ad mission free) of a most extensive, beautiful, and cheap stock of Staple and Fancy Goods. The exhibition will remain open every morning, af ternoon and evening until further notice, and all concerned are requested to call early and procure good seats. The performance com mences early in the morning with an exquisite melo-draina entitled DRT.OOODS, comprising in part Broche Silks, 75 cents: Ging hams from to 25 cents; White Goods, such as Swiss, \ ictoria, Lawn, Bishop Lawn, India Book Muslins, Brilliants, Swiss and Jaconet Edgiiirs and Insertings, Elouncings, Collars and Sleeves, Challcys, Bareges, Mohair Mitts, Silk and Kid Gloves, Hosiery, and hundreds of oth er articles in daily use.

This scene is the admiration of all who have seen it, both from town and country, and alone is worth a visit from the extreme ends of the county. Scene third will be an unrivalled exhibition of CLOTHS AND CASSIMERES, all colors, shades, and prices, of exquisite ma terial, and so beautiful w hen made up, that a young lady of our acquaintance had for several days an idea of setting her cap for a handsome gentleman she had seen across the street, thus dressed up, when she discovered it was her old beau!
