YELLOW FEVER.

In Gibraltar, it is the opinion that yellow fe-
YER is Propagated only in the night. For the
last seven years, the inhabitants Of that place
have encamped during the nights of what IS
called the yellow fever season, at the Neutral
Ground, in the suburbs of the city, and returned
to their dwellings in the day. They have es-
capped the Pestilence since this practice has been
adopted, and the same measure is recommended
by proclamation the present year.

NAPOLEON.

NAPOLEON.
HIS glance was ix'd ON power alone,
His breast was steePd 10 woe,
lie card not for the dying groan,
Ills tears could never flow;
Hard as the rock, his 6inty soul
Sported with life and blood;
Impatient of the least controul,
Above the world, he stood.
Ger Europe's plains be march'd TO slay ;
lie spoke-and empires fell;
Distinctions CORY path his way;
His voice-a nations kneil;
Kings bent their necks beneath lis rod,
Aud own'd his iron sway;
On crowns and thrones he proudly trod
Or threw the toys away.
9 Be free" the lying despot said
:" BE free, and they were slaves;
Before him every virtue fled
Tie dug their dreary graves;
Madly he hop'd to be obey'd
By realms in ruin hurld,
And meath his banners awful shade
Fe gather in the world.

The Mails.--For six months past
contest has existed between the poslmas-
ter general and the contractor for carry
ing the mails from Eincennes to St. Louis.
The former was required by an act of
congress, passed more than year ago,
to cause the mails on that route to pass
through Vanda,ia. Orders were accor-
dinghy given to that effect, as soon as
road from the latter place should be COM
pletcd, to intersect the old route near the
Wabash; but the contractor refused to
obey them. In this situation the matter
remained unit. last week, when the mail
carrier arrived at this place, having taken
Vandalia in bis route, and passed on to
St. Louis. But upon returning, 1t seems,
he lad leea s..csyn nearer way TO Van
dalia, by four or five miles, than through
Edwardsyil.e, and consequently took tie
shortest distance; in which course, we
understand, he intends to continue.
In this state of things, it is fortunate
for US that the order for changing the
Vincennes route was not accompanied By
directions (probably through inadveg-
tence) to discontinue the transportation of
the mail from this place to Carlyle, and
also from this place TO St. Louis; for if
such orders had been given, we should
now be left without any eastern mail. AS
it is, they must both he kept up, making
a distance Of seventy-fve miles, which
would be entirely useless, and the ex-
pense of which would be saved, did the
contractor perform his duty.
The postmaster general has the power
to declare contract at an end, any time
he pleases, and give it to another; and
we should really suppose that he has
been triAed with, by this incumbent, long
enough to induce him to exercise his
authority. -

Where is the seat of government o.

in person? Can these officers appoint
deputies Do you know who the secrc
tary Of state is Do you know where he
lives? Do you know if he has salary
for being secretary. and how much? Dc
you know if he has deputy, or does he
do the duties Of the Office himself! 1fhs
has a deputy, is he a man or boy!
When my neighbors and me hear YOU
answers, we may perhaps with your per
mission ask few more questions.
