MAJ. DoWNING's s LIFE AND LETTERS. .-- We have just been informed from an un- questionable source, that Messrs. Littell & Holden, booksellers, Philadelphia, are making arrangements for publishing a yol- tune of what they call the genuinc letters of .naj. Jaek Dolclbsag. 1t IS therefore oHr duty, on behalf of OUT friend, the Major to Spedh out. And we now say, that Major Downing commenced his correspondence through this paper, between three and four years ago, when he was simple Jack Dow- ming, direct from Downingvile-that he has continued his correspondence III this paper as Jack Downing, Capt. Downing, and finally, as Maj. Downing, up to this date and has never sent single letter to any other paper. Some two or three
 months ago he announced in this paper his intention of publishing his life and letters, and requested us 10 collect his letters for 1 that atpurpose,and add such explanatory notes
 to them as they might seem to require, and he would prepare brief memoir of his life to accompany them. This has been done. The Major did us the honor to consign the care of the publication to us and we have in pursuance ofthe object, agreed with Lilly, Waite & Co.,, Boston, to execute the work, which will probably be out of the press in two or three weeks.
 More than half of the letters which have been ahoat in the papers for six months past, under the signature of Maj. Downing, have been spurious. Werepeat, none have been genuine which did not first appear in this paper, and many of the true letters which have been widely circulated, have been much mutilatcd, and contain many errors. Therefore any pretended collection of them which should appear from any other quar- ter, would probably be mostly spurious, and the true letters among them would neces- sarily be imperfect. Under these crcnm- stances, we appeal to Messrs. Littell & Holden. of Philadelphia. as honorable and judicious men whether both justice and ex- pediency do not require them to give tip their intended publication. Editors who will aid in setting this matter right, by copy ing this article or otherwise, will confer a favor on the reat Major Downing.

POST OFFICE DEPABTMENq,.

The daily mail, which was petitioned for by most of the business men in St. Louis, has not been granted, in consequence of the peeuniary embarrassment of the Depart ment. Rumors are abundant in the papers, of the insolvency of the Department: and even the Globe admits deficiency of the revenue from that quarter.
 One of the consequences of this impov- erished state of the Post Office Finances, will be the discontinuance of many impor- tant routes in the various parts of the Un- ion. It IS already announced, that the dai- ly line to Lynchburg, Va has been diseon- tinued
 Under the administration of MT. Me- Lean, the Post Office Department yielded a revenue much more than equal to the supply of all it's wants: now, 1t Is beggared, and will have to appeal to the next Con- gress for relief from its embarrassments.- Under that administration, the extension and improvement of mail routes kept pace with the wants and the wishes of the coun- try: now, improvement IS stopped-or, more truly, Is going backwards. Under that adj ministration, there was certainty and secu- rity in the receipt and transmission of letters and papers: now, there Is neither the one nor the other.-.NisSoasl Rep.

Projects ot .Wehenet .A!i, Vicerog Of E. gypt.-Egypt, the cradle of the sciences and the arts, is emerging from long night of Cimmerian darkness. Mehemet Aii, now the independent Sovereign of Egypt and Syria, and some of the Grecian lsl- ands, is resolved to regenerate those coun- tries. He has founded colleges. created manufacturies, introduced the arts of Eu- rope, and sent young Egyptians to Eng land, France, and Germany, to be educa- ted. He proposes to augment his navy to 20 ships of the line; to make good road between Cairo and Alexandria; a canal from Suez to the Nile, to transport all his manufactures to Syria, and encourage agri- culture alone in Egypt. He proposes to open a communication between the 0ron- tes, which empties itself into the Mediterra- mean, and the Eupfrates, which falls into the Persian Gulf, and to drain the marshes of Alexandretta. He also intends to make the city of Candia, in the Island of that name, free port, and to establish in Judea naval arsenal for the large vessels When peace Is completely re-established, he intends making a voyage to Candid and Syria, to personally examine the state of those countries. The Coiisuls of France and England are to accompany him, each in a frigate of his own nation.

urge the South to secede--they talk calmly and cooily of war and of blood. Tennes- see has unworthily followed the current, and extended her jurisdiction over the h. dian domain within her limits. The South and the North are nursing the flame of jealousy and hatred. The East and the West are beginning to look upon each oth- CT as people of distinct and conflicting lnterests-and to hate and reviie each oth- ers Men are found, to stand before the High Assembly of the Nation, and de- nounee and deride the opinions and advice ot the Father of his Country-to scoff' at patriotism, and to set up in lieu thereof, the Idols of their own distempered imagina- ton. We do indeed fear, that the Sun of our liberty is about setting in darkness and despair. We do most firmly believe, that the earthquake is waking, and that ere long We shall be hurled, struggling, into the abyss of Anarchy. God grant that we are mistaken! But if our fears be true, there IS most solemn question to be ask ed. Who IS it--is there any one-who has, by his indecision and inconsistency, or by tyrannical and despotic measures, aided in bringing on the present crisis?- Wo to every man, who nurses disafection, and wilo appreciates and encourages disun- Ion! Wo unto Hayne and Calhoun--to Hamilton and McDufFie-to Troup and Gayle-and to every man who raises his voice or his arm against the Unioni His name will go down to posterity, as that of the blaekest traitor that ever existed.
 The slaves of European tyranny have long predicted the present state of things. They have long predicted, that this Repub- lie would fall asunder by means of its own conflicting interests, and they have scoffed at and scorned us, for our vain-glorious boosting. Our only hope is in the People, l in their intelligence and love of liberty.- For their corrupted and degraded leaders for those who would feed their own ambi- ton, and their loneings for honor and do- minion, or satisfy their feverish thirst for revenge-tho' every step should be over the eorse of their Gountry-for them from them, we have no hope. Ne look to the PEOPLE.
