MAIL SFOPPED.-On Friday last the
States mails, east and west. were stopped
at ono Of the toll gates, OH the National
Road near Wheeling By the supcrintcnd-
cnt, under an order from the Board OF
Public Works of Virginia. This procc-
durc arose out of some difficulty about
the payment of the toll, and as the matter
could not be settled between the superin-
tendcnt and the mail carrier, the mails
were conveyed to Wheeling by direction
of the Postmaster of that place. The
next day the tolls werepaid by the Wheel
ing postmaster. apd the mails were again
despatched. We are not sufficiently in
formed of the circumstances of the case;
to express an OF inion of the result, to
which this interference with the progress.

SENTIMENT OF THE WIG PRESS

The bulk of the Wing press appear to
entertain no doubt that the President will
sign the Bank Bill, which has passed the
Senate. II is evident from their tone tina,
the act on the part of the President will
be almost universally acceptable to his po-
litical friends. They see in it the reali-
zation Of the hopes which have animated
and encouraged them through years of
gloom and toll. They see a sound cur
rency restored, enterprise rcvivng, hon
est industry rcapng the fruits of It's labor.
and Wing supremacy guaranteed for gen
erations' Whilst the Wings are thus uni
ted in favour Of the Bill-tIc Locolocos
are equally compact III opposition to it.
Not that they dislike it more than they
dol Mr. Ewing's bill. Not at all. This
last is, in their eyes, the most abominable
of all denominations. In opposing the
former, they but act out Their policy of
opposing every thing, which the Wings
may propose. In this particular case.
they hope, ifthe bill from any cause shall
fail, that such discord will arise in the Wing
ranks as to prevent the adoption of any
substitute. This is fair game for them
