AFrsR rnE Prssrr.-Those two very moral
prints the Post" and Sun stated yesterday that
the steam frigate :" Fulton" had been ordered to
cruise after the Malek Adhel" This IL the great
est Joke these papers ever perpetrsted. Sending a
stean fgats that carry bat forty two hours fuel
20 cruise after supposed pirate, who was, when
last heard from, in lat 20 2 lon 70, and now, pro-
baby three thousand miles hence, is rather too
.och for single dose. However, this statement is
about as correct a. most others which appear ia
these prints.

Mr. BENNETT:
l address you from of the most charming
spots in Duchess county, combining many advanta
ges for the citizen who, weary Of bricks and NOR
tar wishes to breathe the fresh and invigorang air
of the country. Here is good fishing and good
hunting, and what is far BETTER good society. The
inhabitants othis pleasant region noted for their
hospitality and good cheer, and they truly deserve
it.
The young ladies combine in their manners the
grace Of the city with the frankness of the country
Here we have the rosy cheek and the ruby lip, but
none of that sickly paeness which is called inter
esting" You should send Ariel here to attend some
Of their social partes-but fear he would never re-
turn He would be charmed with the wit of Miss
r or caught in the ring lets of Miss NJ, fac-
mated with the voice of Miss H, intoxicated
with the nectar Of Miss As lips, or enchanted
with the merry ringing laugh of Miss T. With
so many attractions surrounding him,he would most
likely remain stationary.
The Rail Road is the prevailing subject of inter-
est in this place; and the people show spirit wor-
thy of the enterprise Of Duchess. Inusethis spirit
in our citizens, aud this great work is accomplish
ed, and New York will reap the benefit.

drafts have been the cause e late remarks in
the papers, are both defaslters, through the same
eause-their hasons with celebrated courtssan Of
the Spanish capital.
These facts are known to the Secretary Of the
Treasury, and to ePresideut and yet they protect
Van Ness and Eaton.
Such are the natural consequence. of placing a
President in office, who placed two sons OF his 0,rn
mistress in cl.rksh pc ia the DEPARTING FOR bica

Mr.. Van Buren, to excuse such defaslters: but will

think not.

In the series ofrevulsions which have taken place
since 1885, he has attributed too much influence
TO the General Government, and too little the bad
management of banks and bankers. The rise in the
prices of produce, and the unhealthy action given to
speculation from 1884 to 1897, imme-
diately caused by the ignorance rapacity, and
rice ofthe banks thar any thing else General Jack
son and his party were led astray by the

foundation of his ruin in lsio. He is suffering
for the errors he originally committed a. the insti
CATION OF spectators. The present policy OF the
General Government is more nearly right than it
ever has been; but for this very Mr.. Van Bu-

As to Mr.. Webster, he is yet too much of the po-

A masterpiece of art was sought,
That might in war command;

Then Thetis seized the curious dies,
And with her wat'ry train,
Departed through the azure SHES,
That none might ever get the prize.
And lodged them in the main.

And with a Vigorous hand,
While all the NeTeids were asleep,

And now she floats upon the wave,
By Vulcan's fire propelled;
And with her Fayrer, nobly brave.
