PoSTMASTERS.

We are desired to call the attention of postmas-
tiers to regulation No. $40, which provides for the
convenient transmission Of money from subscribers
to editors of newspapers. 1t is the duty of post
masters to receive the money from subscriber, and
give him receipt for it, II is the duty Of the post
master receiving the money to give notice to the
postmaster who has it TO pay, Of the amount re-
ceived, and for what editor, and mark the letter
"oficial business" and sign his name to it. The
postmaster receiving the notification will pay the
ceipt when presented. The subscriber who gets the
receipt, may send it by mail or otherwise to the ed
itor. The new law prohibits postmasters from en-
closing and Thanking money to editors. The reason
of the rule is obvious. A large proportion of the
money heretofore lost in being transmitted through
the mails, is money sent to editors and ranked by
postmasters The frank of postmaster upon the let
ter addressed to an editor is notice to everybody who
handles the letter that it contains money. This
rule, when understood, insures the payment of the
money, without discount to editors and avoids dep
relations upon the post office.

NEW PAPERS.

The last two mails have brought us three news
papers which have just issued from the press The
first is "The Daily Globe" which appeared on
Monday last, in the city of New York, edited by
Levi d. Samm, the late distinguished editor Of the
Plebeian.n All that we ask of him is, to do battle
as nobly, to serve his country as efficiently, he
did during the last memorable campaign. His pa
per has commenced in capital spirit, with great abil-
ity, and in handsome dress; and we recommend ii
checrfully to our readers.
The next newspaper which has been lately ush-
cred into light, is the SOHO Union," which was is
sued at Cincinnati on Saturday last-a daily repub-
licsn paper, edited by T. b. Drinkcr q Co. It is a
handsome sheet and displays the marks of vigor-
Gus pen. Mr.. ID. is said TO be gentleman of de-
cded talent and all we ask Of him is, TO discharge
his du,es to the party to the best of his ability
with great equanmity Of Purpose-with an unwa-
verng determination bear and to forbear; and to
keep the great republican party Of Ohio firmly uni
ted The press in Ohio has not been as concilistory
and harmonious as the principles and interests Of

U. s. rMeArE Commodore Fox
hall A. Parker writes on board the frigate "of
Norfolk, September ls" "You will have heard Of
our safe return to our beloved country. We have
had most interesting cruise, and the utmost har-
mony and good feeling prevail. have some flower
seeds for Mrs. 49,, and some specimens Of
wheat from New Zealand, and other places, with
seeds of different kinds To distribute among our
friends. Capt. Stockton has just been on board
He tells me the Secretary is expected here in a few
days. He expressed regret that he did not invite
you to accompany him. should be most happy
to see you on board the Brandywine, and show
you some of the Chinese pheasants land other
curiostes.) understand that orders were sent to
the Pacific, directing me to remain there. If we
have war with Mexico, shall deeply regret not re-
ceiving them. In the event of war, however, we
cannot remain idle"

conscious right and conscious power and the feeble
ferocity which is born from the unbiased union Of
impotence and injustice. The difference, moreover,
between an attack on the Mexican settlement on
that side of the Del Norte, and preparation to re-
pei an armed Mexican invasion of that territory is
the difference between an act of war and act OF
peace As such, it is Though the Intelligencer may
not be aware oft, candid enough to confess IT'D
difference of high Government to our constitution
and our law. To do the act of pesce--to prepare
defence against invasion attack, and to make that
defence when needed, is at once, and always, the
right and the duty of our Executive. To do the act
Of war--to order an attack on peaceable settle
ment is, in effect, declaration of war and that is
the prerogatye Of Congress. But it is idle to insist
farther on these elemental truths Of our political
system.
And in conclusion, we tell che 'Intelgencer" that
this same difference between aggression and defence,
is in the present instance the difference between that
patriotism, which knows itself above the suspicion
of lukewarmness, and that loud brapado, which
knows itself to be suspected, and seeks to drown
suspicion by sophistry and clamor.

CuRIoUs SUBMARINE sUBsTANCE.--John l.. Dim
mock, ESQ.,, president of the Warren Insurance
Company, (Boston,) has at his Office very curious
specimen Of the wonderful operations of the sea
upon substances deposited upon its bottom. II is
concerted mass Of submarine substances such as va.
rious Shells &C., united with the soldty and weight
of stone, from which are protruded several silver
Spanish milled dollars. This is part Of a large
quantity which has been recently taken up from the
place where the Spanish ship San Pedro was blown
up, February llth, 1915. An enterprising company
fitted out the brig Frances Amy, Captain Bnney,
from Baltimore, for the purpose of making an ex-
pertinent for the recovery of the money known to
have been on board the Spanish ship at the time OF
her destruction. We are happy to hear that the
attempt has so far proved successful that they have
raised and brought home over $27, 000--nearly all
of which was in the same state the specimen
of which we have here spoken. Among other curl
GUS formations which were raised in the course of
the search, we learn that single cannon-ball was
brought up with thirty dollars firmly imbedded in it,
Some fthe solid masses Of rock and shells, on
being broken open were found to contain rows Of
dollars, as if they had remaned there in the same
order in which they came from the boxes in which
they were originally packed This property is now
brought into use again, after having lain thirty
years on the bottom Of the ocean, subject to all the
wonderful changes incident to such a situation.
