TO PosTMAsTERs.-In the Post Office
Law, is the following sentence, which
Postmasters are not always IN the habit
of observing, perhaps because. they are
not aware Of its existence:
Postmasters will not allow newspa-
pers to be read in their offices by persons
to whom they are not addressed; nor lend
them out to such in any case, without the
permission of their owners"

TME .ARMY OF OBSERVATION" !"

The following paragraph from the New
York Express Of Tuesday morning gives
US The first intimalion that the military for
ces Of the United State at Corpus Christi
have been ordered to move westward OF
that position; movement so little requir-
ed annder present circumstances that, we
should think. as il must have been direct.
ell before the recent pacific adyices IRON
Mexico, II will of course have been coun-
termanded in time TO prevent lis being car
ried into execution: Nat. Intel.
I'VE understand that the troops now
stationed a, Corpus Christi, under the
command of General Taylor. have been
ordered 10 march over the prairie country
towards the Rio Grande, for Brassos, ST.
Jago, and other places. While at Cor
pus Christi they have been obliged to
hire three schooners as store-ships for
their provisions, and have actually carted
old houses from Live Oak Point, a dis
tance of niuety miles, TO be used as CO.
vering for their stores and ammunition.
F. What they will have to cover and pro-
tect these things with when they leave
= the coast, without the schooners, proba-
bly, Mr.. Marcy can tell. Their course
is through prairie country, where there
is no timber 10 make planks, and no saw
mills if there were any timber. They
. will have streams to pass for which they
have no means provided. Their provi-
sions, as in the Florida war, will be de-
stroyed by the climate and the rains.
Their fire arms will be entirely ruined by
exposure to the saline atmosphere for
wan, of covers. In short. another sys-
TEN of pronigate expenditure. similar to
I. that of Florida, may be expected. A
: thousand dollars day has already been
paid for the use Of a steamboat, and we
no doubt shall soon hear. by the vouchers
on file, of hundred dollars cord being
paid for wood, and other things in pro-
portion, as in the case alluded to"

SUDDEN DEATH.-On last Saturday morning
Mr. Simon Flersheim was found dead in his store,
room rented of j. Neiswanger opposite the Court
House. Mr.. F. had heen called to breakfast seve.
Tal times, but as no answers were returned, the
store was opened about 8 o'clock, and he was
found on the counter, in his bed, and lifeless He
appeared apparently asleep. no feature was chang
ed, no muscle distorted. But he slept the sleep
of death!
The deceased was about 80 years old, Of clever
turn Of mind and obligng disposition. He has
been resident here for more than year, but for
some years Fast sold goods in this and adjoining
counties. He came from Germany, and was about
to send for his parents to remove hither. His part
ner in business, and other friends had his remains
conveyed to Cincinnati for interment at the Jewish
Synagogue, of which the deceased was a member.

From the Shenandoah Sentinel.
VIRGINIA ELECTIONS.

We have triumphed over our whig
friends in this State, at the elections
for congressman. State senators and
assembly ymen, on the gath ult. Among
the congressional delegation, our wbig
brethren-(we hope they will permit us
to call them brethren now)-have
scarcely ''little grease spot" left. to
''mark the place where they fell"--fght-
ing among themselves! according to
our most excellent and esteemed friend
of the Richmond Wing. 1t is certain
that thirteen of the fifteen members
elected to congress from this State are
repubicans--the wings elected only
one.
AS faras heard from-and we believe
all the doubtful counties have been
heard from--it is pretty well ascertai-
ned that the majority on joint ballot, in
the next legislature, will not fall far
short Of twenty. This will be sufficient
for all practical purposes.
We congratulate our democratic
brethren generally upon the happy re-
sults--immediate and remote-that
have been secured to the State and to
the country; for they have not only
secured to the State democratic gov
ernor, but they have given US the Uni
ted States senator, TO be elected next
winter-which will give us the ascen-
dency in that body. This last result
we look upon as especially important,
inasmuch as the success of the meas
ures of the new administration depend
upon the cooperation Of the Senate;
and, had the wings succeeded in this
State, they would have had majority
of one, and would have held both the
executive and the 10 wer House in check,
so that no important national measure
at least any Of those upon which
parties are divided-could have succee-
ded. But now the new administration
is untrammelled by any other checks
or restraints than those imposed by that
constitution which Mr.. Polk has SOL
emnly sworn to support.

Newspaper SubSc,iptionS.-The new
Postmaster General has prepared in.
structlons to deputy postmasters, under
the new post Office law, which goes
into operation on the lst Of July next.
The limitation of the franking privilege
of postmasters has cut off the usual
mode OF transmitting subscriptions to
papers. The following method is there
fore substituted, by the P. M. General,
as a provision for the transmission OF
money, much preferable to that now
in Baltimore american.
"Money for newspaper subscriptions
not exceeding $40 in each case, may
he pal to a postmaster, for the purpose
of being paid to the publisher of a
newspaper at any other office. The
postmaster is, in such case, to give to
the person paving the money receipt
therefor. and to advise forthwith the
postmaster, who is to pay the amount
of such deposit. Upon presentation
of this receipt the amount is to be paid
over. The postmaster receiving the
amount is to debit himself herewith
in his account, and the postmaster pay
ing that amount is to credit himself
Herewith in his account of contingent
expenses"

GENERAL Posr OFFlcE.-We presen-
ted, on Saturday, an exact statement
Of the lettings in New York and New
England, exceeding $4,000 less than
tie iormer prices. Should a similar
reduction take place at the lettings in
the OTHER three sections Of the Union,
the general reduction would be near
SSOO,OOO; but some allowance is to be
made for the apparent reductions.
The balances for weighing the letters
under the new post office law, are, we
understand, now before committee OF
five gentlemen-one selected from the
Patent Office, enc from the coast sur
vey, and the postmaster at Washington,
Georgetown, and Alexandria. IT may
vet be day or two before selection
is made. The models are very numer-
ous.- Washington Union.

AN ENGLIsMAN's OPINION OF OUR Ma
Wy. "A shrewd writer in the London
United Service Journal says:
"Therc is no doubt that we (the Eng
lish.) have three powerful rivals in
France, Russia, and the United States;
but of these three the Americans are
the most important ones on account of
their origin, their courage, and their
even greater enterprise and activity
than our own" The writer then pro-
ceeds to show that our navy, though
numerically inferior to that OF France,
and even to that OF Russia, is intrnsi-
cally superior to either, and contains
the germ of great and powerful fleet.
We have the raw material, the work
men, and a sufficient merchant navy, to
arm as men of war, whenever called on
to do so. Our navy is thing Of life /;
tits procreative; and that OF the French
and Russians resembles huge and cost
ly machine, which once destroyed, is
not easily replaced.
