of rendezvous, but are now on their way
Two companies Of U States troops. under
the command Of Col Davenport, arrived at

Torment Lesyenworth, and will proceed up
the Illinois river. Two other companies, IN
der the command of General Brady, arrived
at Galena on the Sd inst. destined for Gen
eral Atkinson's Head Quarters. The In
dams have, doubtless, since the return Of
the militia, dispersed into small parties
through the country for the purpose of
hunting and fishing. II is however reported
that they are embodied on an island formed
by the -Four Lakes, which affords them pro-
lection on almost every side, and a safe re

MAIL CONTRACTS

Tits alleged that Mr. Reside. the we'll known
PeDnsylvana Mail Contractor, whs receives for
carrying the u. S. Mail. do not know how ma
ny scores of thousands, had active agency in
establishing the 'Pennsylvanian," now and entire
Jackson and Van Buren, Wan Buren, mark you! on
soil which does not grow the artice) paper
which has lately sprung up out of the hot bed of
Government and Government Officers patronage
at Philadelphia. No suppose, says the
Telegraph, 'that he would take active part in
getting up papers, if he did moi expect to be more
than compensated by large contracts and fat allolv
aHces, IN the shape of extra compensation. We
Saoo that there has been gross and fraudulent par
Gality, and that thousands and tens of thousands,
have been squandered upon favorites."
The law vests a large, and we should think dan
gerous discretion, in the General Post Office not
only in the formation of mail contracts but in ma
king extra allowances that is to say, allowances
beyond the contract. Either the Post Master Ge-
neral has been most shamefully slandered and in
some cases. by his political friends or the dscre-
ton referred to has been by him. most hagrantly
and scandaousy abused. There is something rot
ten In that Notwithstanding requiring tho
actual cautery-something which most diligently
shuns the hght-or, we repeat it, Maj. Barry has
been most injuriously used, by some of his own
party. There are those in Virginia who will I'M
derstand us--thoso whom we once before alluded
to-and who will perceive the increased necessity
for coming before the Public. We do not wish to
throw any asPersion upon Maj. Barry. We arc
incapable of promoting seeking to promote,
political, or any other cause, by injustice
to individuals, and shall always be happy
to sec the falsely accused political friend or foe
triumPhanty vndieate his innocence. There have
been however, insinuatiens current against the Ge
neral Post Office, which demand calculation, not
less on tho account of its Chief Officer himself
than the reputation of the Government.
We do not understand to whom the Telegraph
slludes in the following paragraph
"Mr. Reside i, not tho only individual who rears
golden harvest by his JuckSonism. We ask a
young and ardent Vrginian, who has iust entered
the corps editorial, to inquire whether certain mail
contractor who has fat contracts and gives dinners
to the clerks and deputies of the Postmaster Cen
eral, is not most active political partisa an? We
would also inquire, how far Mr.. Rtchie's influence
has operated to secure fat contracts, and a most
unequalied monopoly TO another favorte7 Has proud
Virginia become humbled? Has she so little
"Romdn" virtue as to worship at a shrine covered
with such pollutions7 Has she sunk so low in the
school party as to become an humble sutton for a
share of the "spoils?"

was attacked whilst assisting poor colored woman
who had been brought to the Hospital; her hersism
made her forget herself in her ardonr to relieve tho
patient who was under her charge, and she gave

of Charity among us.
