U A gentleman at Pine Plains, Duchess county,
N: Y. under date Of July l7th writes us asicllcws:-
Last Monday man was found IN the road about 3
miles from this place, apparently in the last stages OF
| consumption. He was unable to walk, or help hiH..
self at all he WINS taken up and carried to house,
whore medical aid was procured aud every other a!.
temtion paid 70 him, until Wednesday, When'he expl.
red, and was inferred on Thursday.
He stated that his name was Augustus Potter
that his residence was In the town Of 1tch6eld, Con.
Milton Society, and that he had parents and wife
county Of Delaware in this state about two years. ind
was then trying 10 get home 10 his examination the
names Of his parents any ofha connexions was not
ascertained and by request have addressed th's 70

We are sorry 10 see any attempts making to break
down public confidence in the honesty aud correctness
Of letter and newspaper transportation by mail. Be-
cause few additional Jackson pos.mastcvs have been
appointed 70 Office, il does not by any means follow
that the Post Office Department 10 becoming entirely

no doubt are--and always have been and always will

yate spleen, would descend to the palTy pltfh trick
Of Withholding letter or Newspaper; and others,
through ignorance and incompetency, and sometimes
perhaps from worse fault who occasionally send
package 10 wrong direction /" but these instances,
we trust, are "icw and far between" Complants
IRE made too that dependence can DO placed upon
the regular arrival Of tho mails; and that when they
do arrve letters supposed 70 have been written never
reach their destination. Now all this we consider too
much like tho slang Of some Of the jackson prints to
be INDUCED Ia by honorable minds; Il parakes too
much Of the character ofthe abuse heaped upon those
tried patriots Adams and Clay--and we hope to Gee
less oft. We regret as heartily asany Ooe to zee ho
nest capable, and faithful officers removed for mere
difference Of opinion-but instead Of doing out Out
gries upon every possible occasion, and charging up
on The incumbens dishonesty and corruption, without
aay proof Il does appear to 10 that would DO besci

another revelation be effected, and another 'reiosm
