Nail Arrangements.
A memorial very numerously signed by our mar
chants and others, has been forwarded to the Pommes
tef Pewee] praying for a change of mail arrangements
between this and Brownsville.—At present the mails
from Baltimore and Washington city, are carried via
Washington, Pa., and do not arrive here until after
eight o'clock P. M., when_ the wads are in good
order, and when in • bad condition its arrival is fre
sitsently...•o late as midnight. This is a very serious in.
onoveeleiice. The memorialists, we learn, recommend
the Postmaster Genet a I to enter into a contract with the
Browewstikt and Pittsburgh Steam Boats for the con
vermste eif ike mail. These boats leave Brownsville
eftpeihe arrival of the Baltimore Mail, and arrive here
'regularly about four o'clock P. M., at least four hours
in advance of "the mail. If the mail arrived at four
P. M., it could be distributed and delivered before
the closing of the office. The boats leave Pittsburgh
every morniaget eight A. M., and arrive at Browns
vilie a short time before the arrival of the western
mail. It would not, therefore, be necessary to close
the mail at the Post Office here for Baltimore and
Washington city, before seven A. M., leaving business
mess abundance of time to answer letters received the
evenhig before. This arrangement would also facili
tate the western mail. Under the present regale
tiontbe western mail is detained at Washington, Pa.
from mete three hours waiting for the arrival of the
mil from Baltimore. The proposed arrangement
would vender delay et Washington unnecessary, and
or course would give us the western mail at about six
o'clock P. M.
We hope the Postmaster .General will give the ant:p
iece afavoellbete weneideration. We bave no doubt of
his disposition to accommodate the pahlic as far as
the means of the Department will etbnit. Atie think' I
it will require very little, if any additional eapence, to
give our people the important mail advantages prayed
for in the memorial, and we cannot think, in view of
its great importance. that it will be refused. We
see well aware, however, that the present is not the
most favorable time for the Department to increase its
expenditures. The now Post office law has been but
short time in operation, and it cannot yet be told .
with any degree of accuracy, what amount of revenue
will be derived from it. This fact, of counter will in
dam the Postmaster General to be very cautious in
making expenditures. But as the change sought for,
is a very important one, and one that can be effected
at very little additional expense, we do hope the Post
master Gettersl will comply with the wishes of the
people of this city, and give, as desired, a contract for
carrying the Baltimore and Washington city mails to
thePittsburgb and Brownsville Steam Boats.

Eared.. af a icier, dated
Liu Minimax, Aug 141 th, 180.
Nothing can fleeced,. at this sultry seam) of the
year, the pleasure di a 'stip on the Lakes. At Buffa
lo, you get oh one of those Goble steamers, any one
of which would, in an emergency, be good for a man
of war. Once on board, you soon realize the idea,
of being snugly lodged in a floating hotel. But, let
me ask, where are you bound? If you ate bound in
ternally, there is a drug shop on the larboard side; if ,
by the cravings of an unfortunate morbid appetite for
brandy, there, at the forward end, is an elegant ea
loon, where you may refresh your stomach with a glass,
and your brain with a newspaper; if about the chin,
by the strictpre of a long beard, there, on the star
board side, is an elegant barber shop, and a gentle
manly operator into the bargain. If you feel bound,
as I trust you do, to contribute something to the cause
of benevolence, go down into the ladle's cabin. There
is a snug place set apart for the sale of fancy and
useful articles, prepared by the fair hands of the good
ladies of Be,ffalo,and Cleveland. The proceeds are
dedicated to the sacred purposes of virtue, charity
and religion—objects which every lover of oar institu
tion, and our country, should fondly cherish. If you
feel bound to keep pace with the litetature of the day,
there, placed next the binnacle amidships, is a young
book store, where you may buy the latest publica
tions. If you have any shillings to spare, spend them
at the ladle's fair, and do not yield to the temptations
of the saloon. Where the water that bears up your
vessel so buoyantly, is as pure and transparent as the
unclouded sky above you, it is impuous to drink bran
dy. In lakes Huron and Michigan, on a clear day you
can see fishes swimming at a depth of from forty to
fifty feet. The spectacle is so enchanting, that you
almost feel as if you would like to have your home
with the fishes, fur a time, at least.
Perhaps you feel bound to inquire into all the con
veniences and luxuries pertaining to your new quar
ters. They are too numerous to mention. You must
find them out. There is one matter. however, which
I may state for your edification. This boat, and indeed
every crack boat on the lake, carries a piano,a dancing
master, and a violin. Ir you have never taken lessons
in dancing, you may acquire the art before you reach
your journeys end. You have risen from a sumptu
ous tea table. You hove inhaled and exhaled the
fumes of your regalia on the forecastle of this royal
steamer. You have discussed with some travelling
acquaintance, the leading events of the day. You
hear the sounds of stirring music. You are involunta.
rily enticed by their Syren influence into the cabin
You find it handsomely lighted by means of very elegant
chandeliers. The gay young people are already trip
ping through the figures of a cotillion, or growing diz
zy in the turns and mazes of a waltz. If you dont rel
ish the dancing, you can turn your back upon it (sup.
posing you could possibly be so impolite) and look at
the pictures so brilliantly, yet gracefully painted on the
pannels of the state room doors. These pictures re
present the progress of our country; they begin with
a band of Indians. hunting the buffalo on the prairie,
and end with the representation of that greatest a
chievement of American science—the steamer—and
the most interesting part of this picture is a true jack
tar nailing the American flag to the mast head. May
it never be lowered! May it proudly float as long as
the American people are capable of enjoying the free,
dom, of which it is an emblem! In the firm and steady
pursuit of this great object, may they frown down
that reckless and wanton spirit of riot and insubordi
nation. which has unhappily manifested itself in some
portions of our country, and which, in every country
where free institutions have existed, has been the sure
harbinger of their fall.
But, perhaps, yos have become grave by reflection.
If so, you can quit this gay terpsichorean scene in the
cabin, and go aloft to the hurricane deck, or if you
choose, to the foretop. There you may, undisturbed
contemplate the wonders of these great and beautiful
inland seas, or hold converse with the stars and moon,
whose bright rays ate reflected from the surface of the
transparent water. You may enter upon philosophi
cal speculations. You may dertermine in your own
mind at least,whether. considering the prccess andel
facts of absorption, all the rivers that flow into these
immense lakes are sufficient to supply them with the
vast body of water they contain; or whether the God
of nature has not furnished them with an internal sup
ply, whose sources lie beyond the reach of human vis
ion.
Now let me repeat the question, where are you bound?
You tell me to Chicago, or Milwaukie, a growing
city—a seat or refinement und intelligence—a mart of
great trade and extensive commerce—distant some
800 miles by the lakes, and occupying a spot where
twelve years ago the yell of the savage wax . the only
human sound that disturbed the stillness of the for-
While others are still dancing, you may quietly retire
to yourstate room and fall asleep to the music. It
will soothe your slumbers.
"Any baggage for the American Heuse;" "any bag- I
gage for the Exchange;" "any baggage for the Rail
Road Hotel." You hear a terrible noise. You are
suddenly awakened out of a sound sleep. It is bright
and early in the morning. You jump out of your
birth. You can't conceive what is the matter. The I
first idea is that the boiler has bursted. Then. that
there is a general fight or melee on hoard . You open .
dour outside state-room door—and there you behold,l
on the shore, for they dare not come on board, a noisy
route of hotel servants, with their omnibusses and I
baggage wagons; and in the rear of them, fine large
warehouses. You are at Detroit.
Every favorite boat—and there are a good many
favorite boats on the Lakes—carries never less than
100, and sometimes from 200 to 300 cabin passen
gers, besides hundreds of emigrants and other deck
passengers. The emigrant carries with him his house
hold furniture—antique chests and fowling pieces that
have belonged to his grand father—cows, horses, dogs,
sheep, cats, &c. It is evident he has " pulled up
stakes." But while ho has done so, he has taken with
him mementoes, that will serve to keep old and cher
ished associations, that he has broken up with feelings
full perhaps of sadness, fresh in his memory long after
be shall have found a new home in the lovely regions
41 the far west.
Detroit is a handsome, pleasant, growing town. A t
.every place you visit, you find something new—some
distinct feature• If you happen to be at Detroit in
muddy weather, you may see the gentlemen and ladies
riding in carts. They find them very convenient when
they wish to visit a neighbor, or attend church, or go
tot soiree. The cart is backed up to the pavement,
or steps—and the lead is discharged with equal grace
andforility. Some carts are neatly constructed for this
purpose. Thus what may have originated in a matter
of Sport and amusement among the early French set
tlers, has grown into a permanent custora.
On the streets you hear every variety of language
spoken--French, Welsh, Irish, Indian, Dutch and
English. Yon oever tail 40 meet Indians in greater or
less numbers. You find them still adhering as far as
they can, to their native tastes and customs. A year
ago an important cause wee tried here betareewthe
Government and one of its functionaries. On that
trial tome Indians were examined as witnesses in their
own tongue. An ; interpreter explained their .state.
metes. Another - witness was examined, who never
stood in need of an interpreter. That was General
Casa. The case altogether was one that furnished
ample scope for inquiry and reflection.
Here is the Hellespont of the new world. A narrow
strait separates the territories of the two most promi-
nent nations of the earth. On the opposite shore yon
have a peep at .the domains of her majesty, Queen
Victoria. You have time to go over in a ferry boat,
and set foot on her soil. You behold a striking con-
treat; on our side the "go ahead" maxim stands out
in bold relief. You wituess the proofs, in every shape
and in every quart er,ol unparalleled enterprise• The
British side, in its external aspect, looks like portions
of a barren country you pass through between Baltimore
and Washington. The soil, it is true, is rich; but the
cultivation is poor and sluggish; end the villages bear
the marks of degeneracy. American enterprise, in
fact, swallows up every thing that comes in contact
with it. But the Steamer's bell is tinging. We must
hasten back, and we must show our respect fur the
Tariff. We must not return with any smuggled arti
cles about our persons. If, however, you should feel
inclined to line your internal jacket with a glass of
London porter, duty free, you may drink the Presi
dent's health, without being charged with treason to
her majesty; and when you return to the American
side, nobody will insist upon a forfeiture of the
ported article.
There must be one draw back to the pleasure of
holding property in Detroit. Our relations with Eng
land are of a ticklish character; not so much on ac
count of certain questions now pending, which can at
most be regarded rather as pretexts—but because
their and our notions and views run in the same chair
nels, and their and our interests are coming into col
lision in every quarter of the globe. Besides, Juhn
Bull is the old cock, still tenacious of his ancient as
cendancy. Brother Jonathan is the young one, saucy
and confident in his prowess. and determined no longer
to brook the overbearing struts, and crows, and inter.
ferences of the old one. It will be hard for them to
occupy the same walk, and make love in the same
quarters, without coming to blows sooner or later.—
We hope it may not be so. But, as was remarked
on one occasion in the U. S. Senate, the first notice a
properly holder in Detroit would get of the existence
of hostilities would be a cannon ball through his win
dow, or a bomb shell dropped on the roof of his house.
You would rather have a notice, in a legal proceeding,
served on you by shoving it through a key hole, or un
der the front door of your dwelling, in your absence.
anchored in the middle of the river, as if to
keep the peace, is the U. S. Iron Steamer, Michigan.
We are in luck, and shall Lave her company as far as
Mackinaw. Site is about starting on an exploring
cruise. She is to leave in an hour. in the mean
time you rigs up the Detroit river and through the
Lake and river St. Clair. You meet with various ob
jects of interest on either shore. On the right, as you
go up, you observe houses and farms at nearly equal
distances aport. This is an Indian settlement, plant
ed here by the humane policy of the British Govern
ment. here they are instructed in the arts of civili
zed hie anti especially in that of husbandry. Here
you see the wild hunter transformed into a farmer-
But the transformation is but partial. Number. of In
dian lads and girls are playing on the shore. When
you behold them running naked, and the parents
lounging half rind on the bank of the Lake, you feel
disposed to doubt the success of the experiment, and
to look upon them, in spite of all the efforts made to
improve their condition, as "rude barbarians, all at
play."
At the out•let or Lake Iluroo,—where the strait is
extremely narrow—where the current is very rapid—
where the scenery is picturesque in the highest degree
—stands Fort Gratiot. Here the Iron Steamer comes
up, having been in sight for some time back. From
this point you have her company for a night and a day.
You realize and admire her symmetric-al proportions
and her graceful movement. Disposed to be coon.
panionablc, when you stop at Presque Isle "to wood,"
she stops too. Through the politeness of her worthy
officers, who are justly proud of their craft, and al
, ways ready to indulge the 'audible curiosity of out
citizens, all our passengers, many of whom never saw
a man-of-war before, are allowed to go on board.—
They examine het structure, her internal arrangements,
and particularly her engine. All pronounce it the
most perfect piece of machinery they ever saw, and
, all leave her pleased with the courtesy of the officers
having
her in charge. Our boat puts out again, fol
lowed by the Iron Steamer, who soon comes along
side. Thus you go till within a few miles of Macki.
now, when she shoots ahead to show what she can do,
and to add another proof of the skill of Pittsburgh
mechanics. She reflects unbounded credit on the
Workshops of Pittsburgh. She goes hence toward the
Sault St. Marie and to Green Bay to explore the bar_
bors and take soundings. We are sorry to part with
such agreeable company.
Mackinaw is destined to be a great place of resort,
during the summer season, for invalids and people of
leisure and fortune. The bracingpurity and freshness
of the air and water, are beyond the conception of
these who have not visited this region. Fish and
game are plenty in the neighborhood. At the first
dinner you sit down to, or the last, after leaving Mack
inaw, you may rely upon getting a good slice of a
huge Mackinaw-trout: and after eating it you are sure
to feel as sleepy, as I am afraid you will be made by
the perusal of this dull matter of fact epistle.
MR. Bocnea•N.—The Lancaster Inttelligencer
says the rumor that this gentleman will go upon the
Supreme Bench in December next, now revived by the
New York Herald, is as false now as ever it was, and
it is well known that he declined the place nearly ayear

aid in the settlement of the Oregon question, according
to the well known rights and the notorious wishes of

rir We are happy to notice says the Washington
thsian of Thursday, the signs of patriotism and chiv—
alry which have been excited throughout the republic
by l the very first whisper of impend's; war. . The
officers ofour army and tatomagerfordistinctiol
in an honest cause, are literally &misdating the depart
menu with their praiseworthy applications for active
service; while the people present an almost undivided
front against the menacing attitude assumed by Mex
ico. Whole companies of citizens we understand,
have volunteered their aid in any efforts which the
government may assets them in the event of hostili
ties; and should a general call be made by the [Paden
for volunteers, who can doubt the alacrity with which
it would be answered by multitudes of fearless spirits
from every section of the country, and especially from
the great valley of the West?
All this speaks well for the sound feelings and vig_
orous nerve of our people;and shows that, although a
verse to war from their pursuits and their dispositions,
they are yet ready to meet it when it comes with hearts
conscious of right and assured of triumph.
For the information ofthe numerous gallant citizens
who will wish to avail themselves of appointments in
the army, in expectation of a rupture with Mexico, we
deem it proper to state, what we have leas ned from
the War Department, that the present military estab
lishment can in no event be increased without Ike pre
vious legislatiox of Congress; and, of course, there
will be no such appointments be made until first
authorized by law. The militia only can be called
out in aid of the regular army, as Dow by law estab
lished.
There are now attached to the army many supernu
merary graduates of the Military Academy, fit for the
moat active and important service.

THE WOOSTER BANK.
Some of our republican brethren in Ohio are still

the slightest interest in this institution—in fact, were
not aware of its existence, until we reached Washing.
ton. The accounts which we have since heard of it,
from gentlemen ofcharacter, who profess to be ecquaint
ed with its political transactions, are by no means cal
culated to make • favorable impression of the manner
in which it has been conducted. Of its pecuniary
condition we know nothing certain. But some of
these papers have done injustice to the Secretary of
the Treasury. He never intended to bolster up the
creditor character of that institution. He date: mined
to act right upon that occasion. He means to act
right now.
A small deposito of 46,000 was made by the Tress
nry Department, a short time since, with that institu
tion, the same amount of Ohio State stock being left
iu the actual possession of the Treasurer of the United
States as security. There was no selection made of
this bank as a permanent depository; but this sum was
placed with it, as above stated, growing out of suppos
ed embarrassments of other depositories, and the pre
sumed necestity of immediate action. It r.ow turns
out that no such ernbarrasments existed—that the re
ports on that subject were erroneous. It seems, also,
that t akhotigh it was wholly unknown to the Treasury
Department) a feud existed in Ohio in regard to the
Wooster Bank, and under all these circumstances the
Secretary determined at an early period, to withdraw
the money tempruarily deposited with that bank.
