REDUCTION OF POSTAGE.
We have derived not only pleasure,
Dot profit, from reading Mr. Plitt's excel
lent report, made to the last session of
Congress, on. the Post Office Department.
In addition to the intelligence he commu
nicates concerning European Post Offices,
his suggestions about the reforms which
might be introduced into our own, are
highly judicious and practical. He pro
poses two rates of postage—for all letters
weighing but half an ounce, under 500
miles, five cents—the same over five hun
dred miles, (en cents, adding fee addi
tional cents for every half ounce under
500 miles, and ten evils when it exceeds
that distance. He proposes that every
thing exceeding a pound should be exclu
ded from the mail, and postage to be paid
in advance.
In any point of view, it does seem of
Immense importance that a reduction
should take place in the price of postage.
The present high rates restricts corres•
pondeoce vastly, while the amount of lets
ters carried by private individuals on all
the great mail routes exceeds belief. In
this way the Department limes it large
amount of revenue, anti individuals are
subject to great inconvenience, and often
times losses. Mr. Plitt says that he is
informed, by persons acquainted with the
fact, that at least one dal/' of the letters
between Boston and New York are car
ried by private individuals.
We happen to know, that between
New York, Albany and Troy, two-thirds
of the letters are carried in the same man
ner. In the two latter cities there is an
established place for depositing letters.
Just before the boat leaves for New York
they are tied in a package and handed
over to some person who is known as a
resident, who deposites them in — the New
York Post Office. As business men be
tween the two cities are daily passing over
the river, a sale conveyance is always
had, and a hundred letters are often taken
by one individual. We have no doubt
the same thing is practised to a large ex
tent between this city and New York. If
the postage was reduced, ind:viduals
would not seek private conveyance. Even
new, it is not those who write occasional
letters, but it is those whose postage bills
are enormous, and whose correspondence ,
is extensive, who evade the law, by sen
ding their letters by private individuals.
What singular and contradictory treat.
ment Banks meet with in different places.
In this city, the Bank of the United States
is denounced for having ruined itself by
loans to corporations, and assuming their
debts; and the other Banks for having
greatly crippled themselves by the same
course, lessening the value of their stock
from ten to twenty per cent, and render.
ing the day of resumption distant and
doubtful.
Ia Baltimore, a loco-fop Anti-Bank
city, they are urging the Banks to adopt
the very course ours has pursued with
such disastrous results. Notwithstand.
ing the sad experience of this city, we ob-•
serve but one Batik disposed to profit by
it. The people of that city will, 1 . 40 re
long, condemn their own course in this
matter, and approve that of the Bank in
question, for thus refusing to accede to a
step so directly hostile to the true prin
ciples of banking.
How strange the infatuation, to sup
pose that the true mode of resumption is
for the Banks to waste their means in the
voluntary purchase of unavailable, depre
ciated assets. They will thus go on load•
ink the Banks with depreciated and una
vailable assets, until they are incapable of
bearing more; and then these very wise
acres, who have thus broken down the
Banks, and rendered resumption impossi
ble, will turn upon and curse them as rot
ten Banks.
In this city, the effort is to lighten the
the Banks of these burdens which bear so
heavily on them. In Baltimore, they
would impose them per force. Here we
consider such assets as a bar to resump
tion. In Baltimore they repose, as a sure
and safe means of resumption, that the
Banks should expend their funds in the,
purchase of depreciated Rail road itotes.—

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—
Oct, 27.
Before J udge Ulshaeffer.
CAUTION TO STONEICEEPERS.—Henry
Perks and wife vs. Hiram B. Gray—This
was an action to recover damages for an
assault and battery and false imprison
ment of Mrs. Perks.
It appears that the defendant keeps a
millinery store at 164 Catharine street,
and that about the Ist July the lady went
there for the purpose of purchasing a hat.
She fixed upon a shape that pleased her,
and requested that it might be trimmed.
The ribbon was cut ofi, and she waited
until it was completed. She then stated
that she had been sent there by Mr.
IVoodford, a gentleman living close by;
and that he would pay for it. There was
some demur to this on the part of the de-,
fendant, when the lady said she would
not have it at all, and was quitting the
store. The defendant then followed her,
and insisted that she should leave some
thing upon it, which she refused to do,
when he seized her by the arm, and sub
sequently by her scarf, and thus detained
her at the door for several minutes, until
a mob collected, whom he enlightened up.
on the cause of her detention.
For the defence, it was contended that
the plaintiff could only recover damages,'
as it was not shown that she had been in
jured by the transaction. There was al
so some evidence to show that the lady
was intoxicated, and that she swore, 'she'd
be d--d if she took the hat.'
The Court charged that no doubt it
would be very convenient to store keep
ers to have the right of detaining persons
under such circumstances, but it was not
the law of the land. The plaintiff might
go to a store, and select a hat and have it
trimmed, and then turn upon the heel and
go oti; whether or not the husband would
be liable was not now a question before
the court—he spoke merely of personal
rights; of the power to arrest the person
anti detain them for one instant. The law
was extremely jealous of the rights of
persona, and it could not be tolerated, that
any one refusing to complete a contract,
could be forcibly detained until he did so.
—The case was simply one of damages,

wonder that there are frequent resort to

gross injustice. We think with the New

DEATH OF MR. FORSYTH
Hon. John Forsyth, late Secretary of
State of the Unified States, expired at his
residence in Washington City, on Thurs
day evening, the 21st ult. He had been
ill for• a short time from congestive fever.
In October, 1781, he was - born at F"ied
ericksburg, Va., and grattuatiA at n'inCf..•
ton College in 1799. Ile commenced the
practice of law at Augusta, Georgia, in
1802, and was soon appointed Attorney
General of that State. In 1812 lie was
elected a Representative to Congress, and
was chairman of the committee of For.
eign Affairs from 1814 to 1818, when he
was elected a member of the U. S. Sen
ate. The next year he was appointed
Minister to Spain, and in 1823 he return
ed to this country and was again elected
a Representative. In 1827 and Bhe was
Governor of Georgia, and afterwards a U
S. Senator, until 1834, when he was ap •
pointed Secretary of State by Gen. Jack,
son, which post he filled until succeeded
by Mr. Webster. Ills age was 61 years.
A GENUINE TEE-TOI'ALLER.
Passing a few days since, in the steam
boat Telegraph, between New Bedford
and :Nantucket, the subject of Temper
ance was under discussion, when one of
the passengers remarked that if we wish
ed tu see a thoroughgoing temperance man
we might in the person of Capt Phinney
,the worthy commander of the boat. On
the suggestion, another of the passengers
,enquired of Capt. P. whether he did not
use ardent spirits, to which he replied, "1
never drank a teaspoonful of rum, brandy
or gin, or any other ardent spirits, nor
of wine, cider or beer; never chewed tobac
co, smoked, of took a pinch of snuff; and
I never drank either tea or coffee." 'But'
says a passenger, 'what do you drink with
your breakfast?' "Cold Water," was the
answer. "And what with your dinner?"
,'Cold Water!" '-And what with your
supper?" Cold Water!" "But" says
he, "what do you do when you are sicke ,
"I never was nnwell in my life." was the
ready and instructive reply of Capt Kin
ney, and we could not but reflect how
much of human suffering and wo, how
much of the ills that flesh is heir to,
might be avoided, if people would only a
dopt the absemious habits which are adop
ted to our condition, and like captain
Phieney, conform more nearly than they
usually do to the immutable laws of nor
physical natures. —Maas Spy.

a young lady. After the ballon had attain

wished to descend, but found the valve
cord was bound fast in the neck of the bat
loon, which hung in folds, pressing on the
small hoop overhead. In this difficulty,
the bold adventurer climbed up the cords
to the hoop, and resting upon it, disentan
gled the valve cord, which was necessary
to give hint command of the , balloon. He{
then descended, and made a safe landing
about eight miles Irom the city.

This 1:; the season when this clistructive com
plaint attacks gout' jnqtresting little childret:
otlen robs you of those you fondly doated
an carries hundreds to the grave. Every
mother should, therefore, know its symp
toms, watch them closely, and always M
prepared with a remedy to cure it, as many
are daily sacrificed by such neglect. At
first the little patient is seived with shivver- 1
ing, it grows restless, has flashes of heat,
the eyes become re., and swollen, it breathes
with difficulty, and then comes that fearful
COUGH that will surely terminate in con
vulsions or death unless something is imme
diately given to check it. In this complaint
the "Balsam of Wild Cherry," is well
known to be the most speedy . cure ever dis
covered. It is indeed a precious remedy—
mild safe and innocent, and sure to give the
little sufferer immediate relief, and quickly
restore it to safety and health. Every moth
who loves her children should alway s keep

IHE CAUSE OF CONSUMPTION.
Simple as these complaints are usually con
sidered, no one can deny their being the most
i common cause of this fatal and distressing
disease. It is indeed a melancholy truth,
that thousands fall victims to consumption
' every year from no other cause thanlslF,-
GLt-CI.'ED COLDS. Yet we find hun
dreds, nay thousands, who treat such ct
plaints with the greatest indifference, and
let them run on for weeks and even months
without thinking o the danger. At first
you have what you may consider a slight
COUGH or COLD; you allow business,
pleasure or carelessness to prevent you from
giving it any attention, it then settles on your
breast, you become hoarse, have pains in the
side or chest, expectorate large quantities
of matter, perhaps mixed with blood, a dif
ficulty of breathing ensues, and then you find
your own foolish neglect has brought on this
distressing complaint. If then you tali',
life or health, be warned in time, and don't
trifle with your BOLD, or trust to no quack
nostrum to cure you, but immediately pro
cure a bottle or two of that famous remedy

',mud persons desirous to know how aeon
this medicine will cure them. It is impussa
el, to say—it altogether depends (won th
state of the Wool and humors. One thing
may be relied upon—that if the pills are per
severed with according to the printed direc
tion which accompanies each box, the cure
will be effected much sooner than the pa
tient could have expected. The many lin
gering chronic distaset we daily see, are ow
:ng either to mercury er blyeditese, or to n t
having been properly purged in Fey, es,
Inflamations, Colds, Measles Small Pox, or
lying-in. It is utterly impossible for us to at
tain or keep health without sound purging.
We may fasten up the disnr,ler by harks and
tonics, but if it be iu the hotly, it must come
out before health cap be enjoyed, acid sooner
or later it will break out of itself worse than
ever, if this method of purifying the blood
is delayed too long. No danger can arise
from purging with Brandreth's Vegetable
Pills It h es been proved, beyond doubt, that
these celebrated pills and the human body
are naturally adapted one foa the tether. By
the use of this glorious medicine the contents
or humors of the body can be entirely evacu

and in a manner so simple as to give every
