Postmaster at Petersburg.
The official organ ut Washington says:

MIR. Richie certainly knew that DIR. Minge was
Gen. Harrison's nephew, and he has taken pains
over and over to represent himself as behind the
curtain and as one with Mr.. Polk. He knows,
too, that Mr.. Taylor, of Cincinnati, was both ne
phew aud son-in- law of Gen. Harrison-not so
rery distant relative according to the Levitt

lfMr. Polk did not know Minge to be General
Harrson's nephew, he did know what was Of far
more consequence to be known, that DIR. Minge,
namely, was faultless and unexceptionable Off

Polk knew even more than this-knew il from au
thority, which he beliered, for at one time he
yielded to it-ihat DIR. Minge's successor had no
claims upon the place.
We regard the Union making sort of quasi
admission in the above, that Minge ought not TO
have been removed: Very well Let Mr.. Polk

All this will sound ridiculously enough in Rich

quarters Of the Union. Mr.. Richie has been
deceived by his correspondent A. b. The turn

which has extorted compliments to the Wings,
even from tho "Organ," was so small as to excite
the regret of many Of the Wings tnrnrsvs-.---
