DEAR SR;-
have not written you since the Id, because,
from your columns you seemed to have multipli-
city of correspondents here, one of whom, in his
letters and conversation, gave out that he was re-
gular correspondent.
The result Of the election of Messrs. Dix and
Dickinson have been various and curious; the ul-
uas OF both cliques threaten all manner Of i'm
possibilities, as, for example, Mr. Fosters friends
swear be shall be governor in '46, and Hoffman's
friends avow the same determination on his
part. But the simple fact is, the election proves
the existence. OF calm, conservative influence in
the democratic party. to which party, by the way,
belcng-which will preserve il from disruption
and dismemoerment There is no question, in my
siderate policy Of Gov. Wright, who has not, as
one Of your correspondents has stated, taken an
active part In the contest for Senators, but who
seems most anxious to preserve the harmony Of
a'one. Of all men, is capable Of accomplishing -
Some OF the barnburners are already pretending to
think that Mr: Foster 10 to displace Col. Young as
Secretary q State, and that the. Treasurer and
iremens but there is no danger of any such thing.
One of your correspondents, who writes over
the signature Of" veritas," writes apparently, :" by
Harman and Temple as candidates for Adjutant
General There are no Generals of that name.
Msssrs. Harman and Temple are lawyers, and the
latter about seven years since was 1t. Temple Of
the >. Artillery, but he has never held militia
commission. But one thing of this Office that is
certain; General Niven, the present incumbent,
has been requested to remain in the office till the
4sh OF March next. Mr.. Veritas, also writes in a
tanning Governor Bouck's military family. Does
veritas know what officers compose this family?
They are ten in number, and are The Adjutant &c
neral, appointed by the Governor; the Commissary
General, by the Legislature; the Quartermaster,
Paymaster, Judge Advocate, and Surgeon Gene
raj, appointed by the Governor and Senate; and
only removable TOR cause; and their aids, and a
military secretary, appointed by the Governor. "A
new Adutant General will be named in time to 60
in on the 4th of March, and the aids and Secre-
tary very soon; the Commissary General is be-
yond the Governors reach, and the other four are
appointees of Gov Seward
MIR. John Van Buren, who every one, before the
meeting OF the Legislature, supposed would be At
torney General, now stands in some jeopardy oil
not reaching the goal Of his ambition. Mr.. Rufus
w. Peckham Of this city. formerly District Attor-
ney Of this county, &c. a gentleman of fine Ia.
lents and high legal atainments is the candidate
of Messrs. Croswell, Corning and Co and will
stand, to say the least, an even chance with Mr.
Van Buren. In point of capacty,it is fair match
and ought perhaps, In addition to this, say, thai
they are both, when they choose to be, hard stu.
dents. but are both extremely lazy Mr. Henry r
Smith, OF Buffalo, also young man, is sort oi
"looker on in Vienna" and by one OF those pieces
of good luck, which some men always enjoy, may
succeed over both the other candidates.
The highly respectable and intelligent bench,
bar, jurors and officers OF the Msrine Court, OF
your city, need be under no very great concern OF
mind to Mr.. Morrisons resolution or bill in re-
aton to that Court. Roderick is little vindic-
tive In his temperament, and seems to have spite
complish nothing by his efforts, except, perhaps. to
scare some of the aforesaid bench, bar, jury and
officers. AS funny thing as has been written to
you thus winter, ls the assertion that Mr. Tllden,
OF the Netcs, Ii here to regulate the New York
appointments. Mr.. T.'s influence, tremendous as
i may be in the Young Mems General COMMITTEES
In New York, is merely petite pone de terra here,
and ne will direct the New York appointments

JANUARY, %. IL A. M.
have retained the above, accidentally, in my
pocket, and add thus as postscrptum. Mr.. A.
Hamilton Leute, for fifteen years teller Of the Com
merca Bank OF this city, has Just been arrested by
the Sheriff, on the charge OF having embe zzled
$4,000. Mr.. Leute is connected with one OF the
oldest and most respectable families in this city.
1t is said that he has for years dealt largely in lot
terry tickets and this, too, within the knowledge Of
some of the directors and yet he has been continu-
once before suffered by defaulting cashier, Mr.
Barlow, who stole $4,000, which he lost in Har.
lem Rail Road Stock 1t is sound and wealthy
bank, and will not be materially injured, beyond
It's dividends, by Mr.. Leute's embezzlement. He
has not been examined yet.
We had a murder in the street, too, last evening.
An unfortunate streetwaker, named Bridget Cary,
was sky-larking with two rowdy boys, snow bal.
play, and the young villain instsnily plunged a
knife in her breast The Coroner has Just held an
inquest. and a post mortem examination showed
that the knife had entered the heart. The mur.
