your paper remained in the post office at Selma one week. Last Sundays mail, the bags were not near full, besides large pair of stage bags being idle Those bags had brought the whole of the mail in. This conduct of Mir Simpson, think you ought to noce do justice to yourself at least shall notice him. Respectfully
 (Signed) JOSEPH J. BORDEN, ?. IT.
 As additiqnal information to history of this affair, it IS here necessary to state that hosttes have been waged against our Press, by the same individual, ever since last summer, under circumstances ofofi- clal mismanagement, moi easily forgotten by many of our subscribers. Mir Simpson, the post master is the acknowledged tool of club near him. who have offices to be objects of trade, which they might bar ter transfer, lease ou at peasure and over which the same unlimited authority could be exercised as upon private property. It would be difficult other wise to account for the many complaints against him. the glaring acts of injustice, and the high handed measures which he resorts to, in defiance of the post office regulations With men SO situated and blind cd by rancor it would be useless to reason or to plead the usage of other offices. This plan of oppo- sition to LIS has long since been decided upon, and the complaints of injustice will be sterny disregard ed by the club of managers around him. Our sub seribes in that quarter may rest assured that tame acquiascence under sucl treatment will but lead to further aggression. If the Post Office Department affords no redress the office had as well be abolished
 Since the days of Arhuthnot and Ambrister the post master at Selma furnishes the next best c;.as for an application of fine second section which in the army regulations, were provided for extreme cases of delinquency.

Louisiana is dreadfully afflicted with two growing evils; one of which operates upon her towns, the other upon her fields. At the last session both were subjects of legislative inquiry, without the most remote prospect of remedy. These are grass-nuts and gsnbterS It seems that the planter after telling and struggling through the sumner to extermnate the deep rooted little enemy, finds that by the fall of the year he has lost the victory and is obliged to content himself with half crop of cane or cotton. This he takes to market, and divides the proceeds literally with the gamblers, who charge
 certain percentage for their trouJic, and pay cer- tain premium into the State Treasury for the privi- ege ofsuch Legitimate robbery
 March l4 Senate.-This house was much occu- pied to-day on the general Gambling bill the chief alteration in which is to increase the number of li- censes from to 16, at the old price of 7 800 each which, if it does not decrease the vice. will if the 16 licenses are sold very much increase the It has been ably suggested that the legislature would do well to farm out the gambling licenses at auction, and we believe thai this plan by forming monopo- y would much add to the wealth of the State Trea- sury.-L0Ristdaa Adcefisor.

The following delicious compliment, from the la dy of Black Book memory, seems to have given the two gentlemen for whom it was intended, some con- siderable concern as to the share to which each one entitled. It is underssood that both have spent their lives in single blessedness but the gentleman with the "soft intelligent eye," being probably the younger of the two, could not so well withstand the first impressions of"Love's young dream;" and in- stead Of taking trip to the moon, his friend sup rGsed was the case few weeks since, has actually stole march upon his confiding enamoured neigh bor in quest ofthe captivating fair one, whose good opinion like that of Junos, is of exceeding great lue in the higher courts. This accounts for the mysterious absence and sudden appearance of the stout round gentlemen after long spell of bad wea- ther, as well the suspicious of the Register which were soon after filed against him.

Strange A,rirai.-Goyernor Mechn has lately purchased from one of our citizens, who has just re- turned from the Condo country, an OarGng Ontang, of the female species She is quite young and is yet but baby; has great liking to her country people, and is rather shy of person with clothes. She sits up and eats ike child, using her right hand very dexterously and though but two or three weeks in the Colony is now quite fond of many articles cooked for the table Her face resembles that of an aged person, with white beard her body is covered with long straight black hair; and she walks at present on her hands and feet The natives, however inform us that when full grown they walk erect, witha stick.
 One of our citizens who has travelled considera- bly, ill the country us, that two years ago. he saw one grabbing in Junk River, with stick in his hand He was about five feet high. As incredu- lous as we have been about this animal, our natives since the arrival of this one have raised credulitv to the highest stretch, from the incredible stories which they hand down from one generation to another and belief is, that many things sta ted bytravellers have been gathered from the native of the countries through which they have travelled, and not from actual observation.
