The doctrine of humane quality receives
a staunch recognition in the fact that the
new government bonds and currency now
bear the signature of a colored man.
Kobert Toombs, once prophicied that be
fore his death he would call the roll of
his slaves at the summit of Bunker Hill;
but instead of owning slaves now, instead
of trading cotton for human lives, the
very money he receives for his produce,
or his legal services, bears the autograph
of a man who was once sold for a thous
and dollars, and once felt the lash that
had fallen upon the flesh of his race for a
thousand years. John Brown did not die
iu vain. The committee having in charge
the fund raised to lift the mortgage from
his widow's home would make the act
significant and historical by offering the
holder of the mortgage legal-tender notes
of the new issue signed by Blanch K.
Bruce.
One of the curious features of the cen
sus work is the collection of statistics,
under the direction of Professor Ilawes,
of New llaveu, showing the extent to
which stone is produced and used in the
United States. A collection of samples
of American stone is being made, with an
analytical discriptiou of its character and
uses,blocks four inches square being sent
from every quarry in the United States
to the census office. There are in addi
tion seven schedules calling for informa
tion. The first relates to the quarry; the
second to the machinery and labor used
to develop it; the third to the quantity,
quality,color and uses of the stone; the 4th
to the cost,the marketand transportation
facilities; the fifth to its convenience to
water transportation, and the sixth aims
to show the number of buildings wholly
or iu part erected of stone iu the United
States, and the amount of stone that is
now in use in docks, wharfs, bridges,
sewers and other structures. The sev
enth schedule is purely scientific, and
treats of geological and mineralogical
features.
A Postmaster under Buchanan, finding
by his "instructions" that he was to re
port quarterly, addressed the following
official communication to the President:
JULY 0, 1857.
Mr. James Buchanan, President of the
United States:
DEAR SIR: Been required by the in
structions of the Post Olliee to report
quarterly, I know hcerwith foolfll that
pleasin duty by reportin as follows. The

land corn is vallerish, and wont turn out
more tliau ten or fifteen bushels to the

only tolerable, eholery has broken out
about 2 and one half miles from here.
There is a powerful awakening on the
subject of religion in the falls naborhood,
and many soals are been made to know
their sins forgiven. Miss Nancy Smith,
a near nabor, had twins day before yes
terday. One of tlieni is supposed to be a
seven mouther, a poor scraggy thing, and
wont live halt its day. This is about awl
I have to report the present quarter.

subscribe myself 3'ours truly.
