We have recently read with great inter-
est phamplet entitled "Justice to John
Fitch.' This pamphlet sets forth with
great clearnesst the merits Of Fitch, as man
Of mechanical genius, and investigates his
claims to the invention Of steamboats, with
much force and ability. The pamphlet is
from the pen Of Charles tvhittlesey, Esq,
who, we are glad to learn. is engaged In
preparing a. memoir Of Fitch for Sparks
American Biography. Mr.. Whittlessy's
entire competency for this work will in
sure first rate performance, in which the
memory Of great original genius viii Be
rescued from The neglect with which it has
been 50 long treated BY the public.
Fitch died In 1898, at Bardstown, in
this State. No monument or even slab
marks the spot where his remains moulder.
Prior to his death, he wrote some account
Of his struggles, in which he expressed the
wish that ne might be buried on the banks
Of the Ohio river, where s'the song Of the
boatman might enliven the stiffness Of his
resting place, and the music OF the steam
engine scothe his troubled spirit" We
understand that this wish win be gratifed,
and that an architect is now engaged on q
design Of monument to Be placed over his
ashes. His body is to Be removed TO some
feadland On the Kentucky shore, where
the monument to his memory will be erect
ed.
Fitch was one Of the unhappiest Of men.
His. life was series Of struggles with ad-
versities without and bad passions within.

The Postage Rsfrm.---lyve can .carcel,

The Postage Refarm.--We can scarcely
fix our thoughts on any ether subject until
this great measure of National enlighten2
ment and benefcence shall have been con-
summated. People Of the United States!
are you considering that the Senate has
passsda bill reducing Letter Postage to fue
cents half ounce for any dissrnce, and that
the House will probably adopt or reject it
as you shall determine? Your action in the
premises is now vitality necessary. Pour
in your petitions, friends Of Reform! and
let them IN fs lines just intreat TIE House 70
pass the &aate's bin. That bill has faults
1t Il less favorable to newspapers and to
our personal interests than any which has
been matured, but it makes a sweeping
reduction Of Letter Postage. and its pas
sage now will smooth the way for any fu-
ture adjustment Of the rates to the stand-
ard Of equity and produc,ivencss. But il
this bills lost, the Reform falls for, this
Session, and the People will be wcaried,
disappointed, discouraged, Friends Of Pos
tage Reform! you are faithless to your dut;
if you do not at once start a petition, ask
your neighbors TO sign it, and send it al
once to your Representative al Washington.
If yoii know member, write him an ut-
gent lettcr;i yon know dozen, write to
each Of them. Only let them realize that
the People earnestly desire the Reduction
of Postage, and they will promptly grant
it.-N. Y. Tribune.

BeATrsG A CLERGYMAx.-An ARRAY.
the particulars of which we gather from
the Natchcz Courier, occurred few DAYS
ago at Columbus, Miss, growing out of a
difficulty between the Rev. Mr.. Lyon, and
the Clay Club of that place, on account Of
certain charges which he made on the au-.
thority Of Mr.. Scott, Of New Orleans,
against the moral character Of Mr.. Clay.
Mr.. Jack, the editor Of the Columbia Wing,
it appears, published the whole affair,
which placed Mr.. Lyon in position quite
dissgreeable to him, and made it expedient
for him TO explain his conduct to his corr
gregation. This lie did in what he called
a review Of the articles Of Mr.. Jack--at
which time he took occasion to Use some
hard names relative to the Clay Club in
general and Mr.. ]. in particular. The
next day Mr.. Jack, accompanied by Mr..
Randell, went to the study of Mr.. Lyon,
and .lled on him to retratt certain ooprc-
brious terms which he had used in his re-
view. Upon his refusing to do this Mr..
Jack dealt him blow which laid him on
the floor; upon rising, ascufie ensued, but
no material injury occurred to either party.
On the succeeding Sabbath, Mr.. Lyons
congregation passed resolutions, evoncra,-
ing him from all blame in the affair.--.E.
