we published an account of the nett income
of the several Post-offices in this County, for
the past year, and we now add further list,
comprising some Of the principal towns in this

IN some OF the papers, that it was supposed
the account before given, was the gross a

Commodore DGie.-This distinguished ma
val officer died at Philadelphia on the cath
of February, at the age Of 70. He was
native of Norfolk county, Virginia. At the
age Of twelve, he engaged in the merchant
service, and continued in the employment Of
a merchant of Norfolk until the commencement.
of the revolution. He was appointed in 1776
an officer on board a vessel of war owned bv
the State of Virginia, and in the autumn Of
that year joined the Lexington brig of war.
This vessel sailing from Morlaix for the United
States, in September, l777, was captured by
an English cutter after severely contested
action, and carried into Plymouth, where
Dale and his companions remained long
time in prison. In February, 1779, he effect
ed his escape, and obtained a passage to
France, where he joined the famous Panl
Jones, who made him first Lieutenant of the
Bon Hon1n,e Richard. They sailed on a
cruise in July, and on the nineteenth of Sep
tember captured the Scraps, an English forty
four gun-ship, after severe actor, which, +" TO-
gallant intrepidity and noble daring, is not
surpassed, if eqraIled, by any in the annals
of naval history. ''-Of the Bon Hnmme Rich.
ard, Commodore Dale is believed to be the
last surviving officer. After the capture OF
the Scraps, Jones sailed to the Texel. where
he was soon after appointed to the command
OF the Alliance, and subsequently of the Ari-
ell, in which latter vessel he sailed with Da r.
for America in Oct. 1881. In June, Capt
Jones having been promoted to the command
OF ship not yet ready for sea, Dale was ap.
pointed to the Trumbull frigate, and in july
following, was captured off the Capes of Della
ware by British frigste and sloop of war.
When exchanged, the government having nc
immediate occasion for his services, he took
the command of merchant ship, and continu.
ed in mercantile employ until his appointmen nj
TO oaptalncy in the navy of the United State:
in 1894. In May, 1901, he was appointed te
command the squadron sent 10 the Meditera.
mean. lie returned in March following. and
IN The autumn Of that year resigned his con-.
mand. He is represented as no less distin.
gulshed for his private virtues than Tor hi.
public services, as useful citizen and sin
cere Christian. His funeral was attended OF

John Cieves Sgmntes -Fhis persevering ad-
vocate for 9 internal surveys" is on a visit to
Washington, and engaged in giving lectures
explanatory of his 6 theory Of the earth."--
Capt. Symmes is one Of the most paradoxical
characters of the age. 1t is difficult to recon-
Gle the apparent absurdity OF his opinion
with the fact that he is not only rational
and sane man, the probability Of which has
even been denied by some, but withal mod
est man Sc without any Of that arrogance and
pedantry which SO often attends the unlearn-
ed and selftaught philosopher" SO at least
he is described. On the whole, his princ-
Piles seem to be gaining ground, and there is
no knowing how soon the most learned and
inveterate sceptics among us, and even Mr..
Hale himself, may be brought to embrace
them.

Indian Names. Those who have read the

cept the d" P,ot,'') of the works of the Amer
Jean Novelist, Cooper, will recollect in "le
Renard Sub!il," and the other principal char
acters, an Illustration of the custom of the
aborgnes of applying TO themselves. and to
each other, the name of some object, general
ly such an one as will best convey an idea OF
strength, cunning, or bravery, by which they
are known and distinguished, particularly in
war. 10 the adoption of these names, they
indulge in the greatest extravaganza, and do
not hesitate to appropriate to themselves at
tributes of the highest order, and sometimes
those which, to civiliz ears, would seem
not little discreditable. Our Indian treaties
furnish abundant evidence of this and it is
amusing TO find, among the chiefs and war
Tiors OF several tribes with whom treaties have
recently been concluded, The following sigma
lures, some of which are quite alarming =
From the Pawnees came The man lchO strikes
naen-1he singing crow-The big horse. steal

makes smoke--Lightning- Big Head with tan

resentatives of the Sioux and various other
nations OF Michigan and Illinois, we fnd-He

The barking woll-AI round the sky--The
stabbing chiei--fIe that vaults on the earth
The Bear that makes the rocks shake-The

the world.
10 be at peace with such terrible fellows,

which he remarks, that g regard for consis-
tency, apart from every other consideration,
= requires change of measures" Having
shewn the incongruites of the present system,
3e goes on TO point out the objections to the
plan for removing the different tribes from the
east to the west of the Mississippi, and the
difficulties which present themselves in its ac-
complishment. To effect il by treaty, he con-
siders impracticable, from the unwillingness
of some of them to abandon their native land
consequences the most destructive to them,
without a controlling power which should be
constantly exercised to restrain them from en-
gaging in exterminating wars, the inevitable
consequence of placing, in Juxta- position, diff
ferent tribes, between whom feelings offered
Eitary and implacable hostility exist.
la the execution of the plan which he rec
eommends, nothing is proposed TO be done in
q reference 10 the Indians without their consent
whatever authority may be presumed, from
the peculiar relations existing between them
and the United States, to be possessed by the
Government for removing them by force. 1t
the project, that within the limits assigned
them, their future residence is to be foreuer
asndistmbed. g Their removal by individuals
in contradistnctiou 10 tribes" is recommend
ed in consequence of the fact, that, while
some of the Chiefs have appropriated to
themselves the most fertile lands, and thereby
become wealthy, and whose consent cannot
be obtained for an exchange of territory, large
portions of the tribes whose removal is the
most desired, may individually be persuaded
to emigrate, thus also preparing the way for
the eventual abolition of the present distinc-
ton of tribes, and their amalgamation into one
community. 1t is proposed that the terrific
rial Government shall consist of Governor,
three Judges, and Secretary, and as soon as
the civilization will admit of it, that they shall
have a legislative body elected from among
themselves.
Another important feature in the proposed
bill is, the division OF property and the dstri-
button of the land " among the individuals by
metes and bounds, in contradistinction to ITS
being held in common by tribe.'' This, i
effected, will most essentially change the con-
dillon aud prospects of the Indian population
OF our country. With what favor the project
may be received by those to whom it has been
submitted, and with what success an attempt
to put it in execution may be attended ii ul-
iimately attempted, remains to be decided.
