MIR. GRANGER.

The Postmaster General in assuming the ho-
norable but arduous duties of the Department
over which he is now presiding, has not forgot
ten the constituents whom he faithfully repre-
sented in the Congress of the United States,
and whose confidence in him is illustrated by the
fact that they have continued him in their ser
vice no less than twenty years. The subjoined
letter published in the Ontario Repository of the
18th inst. is no formal leave taking, but touch
ing manifestation of the gratitude of true
heart:
To The Electors Of the County Of Ontario:
Fellow Citizens Having this day transmitted to
the proper authority the surrender of my place your
Representative in Congress, permit me to say one
parting word, beyond that cold Formally which be-
longs to an official resignation
For more than TWENTY years we have been bound by
political and social ties, which, by me, will long be
remembered, Your partially first gave me political
fortune, by you have been most proudly sustained
Kind to my faults, and generous in rewarding any
services that may have been rendered by me- your
appreciation or censure | shall be most keenly
sensitive.
Called to the direction of Department more closely
connected with our whole people than any other
branch of the Government fcannot be insensibe to
the increased responsibilities resting upon me !;
and whilst my unring exertions in the public service
will be devoted to just and impartial discharge of its
duties, in such the various interests Of
wide spread cenfederacy demand, you still per-
nit me TO feel that am citizen of New York, and
that Ontario is my home.

The good people of Tuscaloosa brought out their
cannon on the 4th of March, at 10 o'clock M and
hred salute of 10 heavy broadsides in hono1of Gen
Harrison. In the evening the far damses of Alaba-
ma Were tripping the light fantastic toe, and whrling
their partners in the of the dance in room cali
ed North Bend, and all were rejoicing because Tip
pecanoe was this day made President of this glorious
Union. At IL o'clock midnight, 10 more guns were
fired.
There are many changes in this State in favor of
the Wings, and we have no doubt the Inaugural adj
dress will help on the work.

Monday last the day after the duties of Governor de-
voved on him as Lieutenant Governor, Mr.. Patton
issued his warrant for the surrender of Robert F. Cur
ry, the fugitive from justice from New York, in COM
pliance with the demand made by the Governor of N.
York. He had previously, in his capacity of Council
lor advised the surrender the fugitive when the sub
ject was submitted the Council for their advice by
Gov Gilmer. His own sense of duty, therefore,
quired of him pursue the he has promptly
taken He has, we understand, enclosed the warrant
to Gov. Seward in brief letter. containing strong
and decided Temonstrance against the conduct of the
Governor and Legislature of New York to fugtives
from justice and fugitive slaves, with earnest but
respectful appeal to them to arrest the unhappy and
dangerous collisions which must ensue from a perse-
in their assaults upon the rights of the State
of Virginia and the other Southern Richmond

NEW DIRK, March "a, 1871
Mr. VAN buren, made his tiumphal entry
into our city between three and four o'clock yes
terday. UnluckIly, il rained furiousy through
the afternoon, so that nearly all the Wings and
good many Of the Locos who intended TO see
him land were kept at home. That portion Of
the Democracy who estimate the purity of
mans character and principles as in inverse
ITO to the cleanliness ofhis linen began to assem-
bic In the Park before noon, and by o'clock had
mustered in considerable force. At they
marched down to the Battery, under the guild
ance OF two or three dozen donkeys on horse
back, who were just capable of going afoot, and
appeared horribly out of their element on horse
back attempting to marshal others At the Bat
terry they waited from one to two hours, the rain
falling with increased violence, until at last
when the Ex-President landed at near A, itproy-
ed drenching shower. A procession was has
tily formed and the dropping, bedraggled, di-
minishing huddle proceeded up Broadway to
Bleecker street, and down Bowery to the Park,
where Ex-Recorder Morris briefly addressed
Mr. Van Buren,, and the latter read common
place reply of five minutes, which any school
boy should be whipped if not able to surpass i'm
Promptu And then the weary, dripping shi-
vering Chalenous dispersed to ther homes, and
the sky cleared up Immediately, so that we had
a beautiful twilight and evening The weather
could not be finer than it has since been. Mr..
Van Buren, visited two Theatres in the evening,
and to night must attend grand Ball given in
his honor at Tammany, Tomorrow he re-
ceives all who will call on him at the City Ho-
tel. Very good. THE party here want Mr..
Van Buren, as their candidate for next Presi-
dent, and the Wings are lke-minded. So we
work together most lovingly, and would have
concurred in rejoicing over his return to Kinder
hook but for that unlucky rain. Never mind
Better luck next time

On the subject of war between England and Anne
RIGA, the London Journal of Commerce holds the fol-
lowing language:
We have no fear of a war between the United
States and this country. The Americans know their
interest and appreciate their situation tho
roughIy they know that all wars are detrimental to
the production of wealth. and they further know that
a war between England and the United States though
it might be temporarily disastrous to English trade and
manufactures, would utterly destroy the system of
credit on which ultimately depends all their under
takings and obligations. The magnitude of national
and individual interests is the best bond of peace.
The greater the commercial relations between the two
nations the greater is the security for the maintenance
of peace Can either country have a better reason
for abandoning system which restricts their CONNER
cal operations :"

Not content with his lucrative Office the con-

that nearly one half Of the House reprobated his
principles, the act seems to US to be in bad taste

lying before US, bearing the following stamp:

We should have hesitated before placing such
stamp upon Congress wax, and reflected that
possibly we might thereby insult very large
portion of its members.
This is not all. We understand that Mr..
Clerk Garland is going on as heretofore making
arrangements for the supplies of the next house,
and that the same contractor has farmed out his
contract to an individual in New York, and ia
ken for himself handsome sum for nett profit
We very much doubt the propriety of these pro-
ceedings, and we mention, by way of caution to
sub-contractors that 1t is very probable that the
next house of representatives Will be composed
of men perhaps not quite willing to sanction all

Our Indian relations.

Much could be said on this topic, but it is too
vast a theme to open upon it here. Suffice it to
say it is business which demands the earnest
deep, and conscientious attention Of the Govern
ment If we let those wasting tribes utterly
perish, woe be to us, if justice be in heaven J;
and, unless some redeeming agency, not yet APP
piled or devised, be not brought in for their pre-
servation, they are as sure to come to nothing,
as to-morrow's sun is to go down in the West
II is worth any mans ambition to originate and
mature policy for the treatment Of that race,
that shall save them. To say it cannot be done,
is treason against the rights of man, and the
claims of humanity. And if it can be done, be
il known, this nation, before heaven, is respon-
sible.

Foreign relations.

These are declared to be pacific, notwith-
standing the apprehensions that have been in
dulged about the Mcleod affair. Probably, how
ever, General Harrison's notice of this subject
was rather to announce his general impression,
and the hope he INDUCED of the future. He
recognizes the fact, that in his position at the
moment, he could not be supposed "well in
formed as to the state of pending negotiations"
1t was sufficient for him to declare his purpose
to maintain our national honor.

THE YANKEES VISIT.

recently took up a number of the London
United Service Journal, i'll which | found the
article below, The Yankees Visit to Sir Jo
seph Banks 1t bears internal evidence of
truth, and therefore send it to you for inser-
tion. At what period the visit took place
cannot tell but it must have been as much as
five and twenty years ago. Mr.. Shackford, the
Yankee, is, believe, now living in the west
ern country, and used to possess all the marks
of eccentricity ascribed to him in the inter
view. His son now commands ship from this
port Previous to the visit to Sir Joseph, he
built or purchased a small vessel, in which he
embarked alone for, and navigated to Great
Britain, and the manner in which he describes
the voyage is the same which heard from his
townsman. When he arrived in port he was
supposed to be a pirate that he had murdered
the crew of the vessel; and was arrested
lie produced his shipping papers, which con-
tanned one name only, and other documents 10
prove his character, ard 1t was not until some
persons in England were found who knew him
in this country; that he was set at liberty. Tic
made his return voyage to America in safety
and is supposed to be the only person who ever
crossed the ocean without companion.
THE YANKEES VISIT TO SIR JOSEPH
BANKS.
Sir Joseph Banks, hearing that there was q
man in London who had crossed the Atlantic
in a boat alone, was desirous of seeing him, ant
got some American to go to the hotel, and con
,rive a way to bring him to his house.-Thi'
was easily effected Shacktord IN company
with Cppt. Fellansbee, paid Sir Joseph visit
They were asked into room devoted to Natn

Napoleon's sacraflce OF Human Life.

Never was there a conqueror who fired
more cannon, fought more battles, or over
threw more thrones, than Napoleon. But we
cannot appreciate the degree and quantity o.
his glory without weighing the means possessed
and the results which he accomplished. f.
nough for our present purpose will be gained
five set before Us the mere resources of flesh
and blood, which he called into play rom the
rupture of Amein. in 1904 down to mis- eventful
exit At that time he had, as ne declared to
Lord Wentworth, an arr,y on foot of $4,000
Here follows a detail of the different ievies
made from $50! till lSl4. Total of men,
2,96j, ,96j. This detail, which is derived from
Napoleon's Journal, the Monitcnr, under the
several dates, is deficient in the excess which
was raised beyond the leviesl but even five
2educt the casualties as well ms the 30O,OO0
men disbanded in lSl5 We shall be under the
mark in affirming that he slaughtered 2,5O00,-
600 human beings, and those all Frenchmen.
But we have to add thousands and tens thou
sands Germans, Swiss, Poles, Italians, Nepoll-
,ans, and Illvrians, whom he forced under his
ragles, and at n'derate computation. those
cannot have fallen short of3,WhWN It's obvl-
uusly Just TO assume that the number who fell
ON the side of hs adversaries was equal To that
against which they fought. Here then are cur
data for asserting that the latter years of his
glory were purchased at no less expense than
G,OOO,OU0 hun an lives This horrible lnroad
