We are indebted to Mr.. II. Winter, snuff and
cigar dealer, Pennsylvania avenue, for specimens Of
cigars and chewing tobacco. The five brands of his
recently imported cigars are remarkably 6ne In
deed, it is difficult to distinguish which is the best
The tobacco is specimen of the very best of the
Virginia manufacture. (Such, at least the eficia
report which has been made to us Of connoier, to
whom we handed over the specimens for examina-
ton. As for ourselves, we do not use tobacco in
any FORM and therefore do not pretend to lie either
cennoisseurs or amateurs. We must say that il
strikes being singulary destitute of taste when
we walk the streets Of Richmond or of Washington,
to see youths without beard, and sometimes boys,
smoking cigars. There is certainly more excuse,
on the principle Of Condorcet's Progress of the
Human Mind" (the extraordinary work of that
great man which was written in PRISON. viz; that
all nations require stimulus, for old 'ne, or some
young men using tobacco. But that youths or boys in
whose arteries the hot blood boils of itself, and to
whom life and everything appertaning to il is ex-
element enough that they should use "the Indian
weedr in any form whatever appears to us no, only
superAuous, but ridiculous.

The appointment of Mr.. Buchanan postmas-

have made. There is no man in this community
who stands higher, and the reform that he has al
ready commenced In his Office will rebound to the
advantage Of the business community az we'll as TO
the government. He has always been ardently at
tached to Mr. Calhoun, and for short time left the
"Old Hero"with that distinguished man. "That il the
head and front Of his offending" for which he is
receiving the wrath ofhs disappointed competitors.
From the hour Of the nomination in our city to the
glorious finale Of the campaign, no one exerted
himself with more energy and frmness than did
our present postmaster He traverscd, night and
day. the scenes Of his former riumphs in the "enth
legion Of democracy" Baltimore county, where
his exertions were Of great avail In his appoint

appointing power; but his slanderers have received
rcbuke which they richly mertcd.
The appointments Of VIM III. Cole, IT,, as sur
veyor Of our port, and VIM. L. Marshall as dis
trict attorney, are universally popular. They have
always been of the 'bone and sinesr" Of the democ

The mail Of this morning brought letters of the
date Of April from the coast of Africa. The Spit
fire had been taken by the officers of the Truxton,
and has been sent to Boston. The Spitfre sailed
under the American flag, and was taken when at
anchor of the factory of noted slave dealer about
forty miles above the Rio Pingo. An expedition to
ascend an African river to such distance from its
mouth, involved great exposure and fatigue. This
is especially the case with the Pingo.

We are indebted to the "New York Courier and
Enquirer" for an opportunity of seeing, (what was
overlooked in proof sheet) and of correcting,
ratum in long article of Monday evening. OF
course, that paragraph intended to read fol-
lows:
'For ourselves, have fears OF the result Defend
ing do, the of the administration because il
acts upon the great principles which have supported
forty because whilst it weuld desire peace
decline WISE amicabe mode for preserving It, yet il
prefers to peace any alternative rather than make
any dsgaceful concessions Of rights any foreign
power to fear for the country. Let
honorable peace abide with us; should hail ii with
pleasure II Great Britain, however should seek bus
ter into TERMS and demand any concessions at the
pense of national principle and national honor nation
will not shrink from the alternative then forced upon
adoption We fear no consequences"
The "New York Courier" suggests arbitration.
We understand that Mr.. Calhoun declined this
proposition when made by the British minister
and declined it, it is said, upon grounds of the
strongest character We are content to wait for the
publication of that document, with the general re-
mark that it is seldom, if ever that the umpirage of
third power has been able to settle satisfactorily
the controversy between two States in relation to
disputed territory.
