In noticing the change in the Post
Office Department. the National Intel
ligencer saws" In this movement,
the Kitchen Cabinet are understood to
have achieved complete victory over
the Cabinet proper, who. If in the begin
ming Of this Administration they came
in a unit, seem TO be reduced now
pretty nearly TO the condition OF c CT
pher, in the Government. As for the
rest, If il were not for the political OBJ
| iections to the new administrator oil the
POST Office, we incline to believe, from
what evidence We have Of his business
habits, that he would make an efficient
Postmaster General. Perhaps, howe
yer, il will be time enough tn give him
credit when he has deserved il. When
he shall have earned 1t, We will not
deny il TO him. DIR. Mason, recently
appointed Chief Clerk in the General
Post Office, "a personal friend and con-
nection Of Mr.. Barry, has also resigned
his trust. II is said that p. S. Lough-
borough, ESQ.,, who has for several years
filed an agency in the Department, is
to take post as Chief Clerk. This We
should suppose TO be a good appoint

DEATH of.Mrs. Cummiags.-A recent
arrival from Naulmein brings the mel
ancholy intelligence Of the death OF
this interesting and devoted female
missionary. She died Of the jungle
fever, on the Sd Of August last at the
house Of Mr.. Brown in Maulmein.-
She was devoted to the interests Of
the Karens, and was stationed at Chrm-
mera. These Karens, by the way are
very interesting people. The Disco
verics among their sacred writings are
of the most interesting description
From the near approach Of their writ
ten traditions to the Mosaic history Of
the creation and the prccepts Of their
moral laws, it has been conjectured that
the Karens are the remains of the long
lost ten tribes and half. But, these
tribes have been so often discovered by
conjecture, that we place little faith in
such suggestions. II is true, however,
that the sacred writings Of this people,
approach nearer to the word Of inspira-
ton than any other pagan works ever
yet discovered.-[N Y. Com. .4dr.
Breach in The CanaI.-A large breach
has been made in the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal, nearly opposite TO Sharps-
burg in this county. by rolling large
ssw-logs down into the Canal from the
precipice which overhung the place at
which the breach occurred. We are
informed that large number Of hands
are actively employed in rebuilding the
wall, which was broken down TO the
very foundation. and to an extent Of
some hundred feet.

Indian .Kuders.-We regrctto learn,
says the Milledgcville Recorder Of the
2lst instant, that the Greek Indians in
the neighborhood of Columbus are a
gain committing aggressions upon the
whites. They have recently murder
ed a citizen of Columbus, and fired
upon his companion. who escaped
This occurred about IL miles from
Columbus. They have, few days
ago, about the same spot, murdered
gentleman from South Carolina, who
was removing, and whose wagons, ne
groes, sc. had advanced ahead OF him.
We understand that much excitement
prevails, and that 1t is considered high
ly dangerous for individuals TO travel
between Columbus and Montgomery.
Bank Of .Muyland.-The Chancellor
Of Maryland has granted an Injunction
on bill filed by certain creditors Of
this Bank, constituting as we learn a
majority in amount, prohibiting the
trustees from receiving certificates Of
deposite, checks, or notes Of the Bank,
in payment Of the debts due that insti-
tuition. This injunction and prohibition
TO continue until answer, aud the fur
Their order Of the Chancellor. In the
meantime, as will be seen by their no
tice, it is the duty OF the Trustees TO
proceed at law for the recovery OF the
claims due TO the Bank. For the pre-
sent, therefore, and for time 20 come.
these debts due to the Bank, OF rather
to its lucky creditors. must be paid in
legal currency. What effect this pro-
ceeding ma have upon the market
value Of bank OF Maryland Funds"
We are unable to anticipate.
