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.

THE CTESAR OF THE PRESENT PAY.
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. *

rjIHE elections being over and the excitement
attending thein passed away, at.d it being
considered dangerous nowadays to keep on haml
bank notes, the proprietor of the People's Store,
would again invite attention to his magnificent
depository for replenishiiig the outer man and
woman on the scientific priuciple of saving
money, which accommodating establishment is
in East Market stre%, and can readily be
distinguished Irom all others by its piles of
beautiful goods and wares and "that sign,"
which, like the Star spangled banner, is fanned
by every breeze. 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.
Scene second will open with a grand display
of Stella, Crape, Cashmere, Delaine, Thibet,
and numberless other
SHAWLS,
(Crape Shawls from §6 up,) which for beauty,
neatness, fineness, finish, cheapness, ar.d ail the
other etceteras, exceeds anything of the kind
before displayed to the ladies. 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!
Scene fourth will be a display of a choice se
lection of
intended exclusively fur famiiy use, comprising
every article usually sold in that line, ar.d of
course cheap, whether quality or price be con
sidered.
An intermission of seme time will here be
allowed in order to give the audience an oppor
tunity of examining an extensive stock of
READY-MADE CLOTHING,
weli made out of good material, and cut out on
scientific principles.
The fifth scene will present a rich and varied
stock of
Queensware and Glassware,
with side views of Boots and Shoes, Cutlery,
Ladies 1 Gaiters, and sundry other matters pita
sing to the eye and purse.
The sixth scene is a rare spectacle of
BOtfIETS AYR BOA'S ET TRIU'IIYGS,
which always produces a marked sensation
among the ladies, and is frequently encored.—
This is really fine.
This is the general routine of the exhibition,
but the scenes are often varied by the introduc
lion of other articles, use.ul, ornamental and
pleasing.
The performers in this exhibition, from the
manager down, are all unrivalled and celebra
ted far and wide for their politeness arid atten
tion to their numerous customers, and blessed
with the most unvarying patience, which is dai
ly exemplified in tiieir taking pay cither in gold,
silver, bank notes, or country produce.

himself and horses. There need be no fear of ifcg .Soring
i breaking, for if there is an article that will neither break,
j rut, or wear out, the Gum Spring is thai article, and I
I hazard nothing in saving thai my Grain Dt*l is the siui
; plest in construction, most economical in peifcrmance,
i and therefore the must durable ever olfered to the agri
