SPEED OF THE EXPRESS LINRs-THKR IMpoR-
TANcE-Ihe package express lines that have come
into existence and importance in the last few years.
are increasing and spreading all over the country
Their value Is 30 great that we believe that the public
could not 60 back to the old SYSTEM if there ever
was system before, Of forwarding packages from
one point of the country to another.
We have recently noticed that Adams & Co., the
enterprislng express agents in Wall street, have
lately removed to No l6, nearly opposite their for
mer Office, where they intend prosecuting their bu-
siness in a very superior ana beautiful manner
The office is divided into different departments,
each man having his post, his desk, his counter,
and his SAFE. Every thing will 60 en- like clock
work. This line sends express messengers to New
London, Norwich, Worcester, Boston, New Haven.
Meriden, Hartford, Springfield and Cabotville, at
the East Philadelphia. Baltimore, Washington.
Richmond, Petersburg, Wheeling, Pitsburg, Louis
vile and st. Louis, at the South and West. In addi-
ton 10 these arrangements, there proceed from
Adams office number OF other expresses:-F. s.
Gorton's to Providence, Newport and Fall River;
Lews's express to Newark, twice day, and Mlllard
Co.'s to Patterson, Newhurgh, Poushkeepsie,
Kingston, Bnghamton, Middleton and Goshen.
The real value OF these various express lines, to
the community, can hardly be appreciated. few
years since packages sent from New York into diff.
erent parts Of the country had to run their chance
OF ever reaching their destination. But now, they
can be deposited here, and some one OF the express
lines which penetrate into almost every hamlet and
village, will set down at the door Of the house to
which It is directed These lines are constantly on
the lin consequence OF the increased desires
OF The commercial community. Among those lately
started into existence here is Gays, which runs
from this city to Boston, very well regulated one,
which deserves the patronage Of our citizens Among
those at the East is that OF Bgelow, whose line runs
over greater part of New England, and whose
starting point is in Boston. This line runs to Fitch
burg Keene, Brateboro', Greenfield, Windsor.
Woodstock, Burlington, Montpelier and the Cana
das 1t is one of the best conducted expresses in
the country. The master-splrit ofthis line is man

MAJOR RiNseoLDis REMAIEs.-In a letter from.
Lieut.. Randolph Ridgely to the Baltimore COM
miitee, touching the removal Of the remains Of
the late Major Ringgold, the following deseriPi
ton is given of the present. resting place OF the
relics Of the lamented gentleman:
"It will be gratifyingto the relatives and nu-
merous friends of the deceased to know and l
beg you will inform them, that the officers at
Point Isabel have done everything in their pow
er to protect the grave of so gallant and distin-
guished an officer. With this view Capt. Ram-
sey Of the Ordnance, suggested that it should
be surrounded by a railing composed of mus
kets captured from the enemy.
The grave now presents a very unique and
appropriate resting place for a gallant soldier.
-Four posts ornamented as we'll as our limited
means would allow, are erected, one at each
corn +, connected by pieces Of timber, the up
per having holes bored at every six inches,
through which the musket barrels are placed,
resting on the lower one; the b%ayonets are all
fixed and the whole painted black. Appropri'
ate head and foot boards are erected.
Propose sending this enclosure with the re-
mains, as It would be a most appropriate pro
lection TO the monument you are about erect
ing in Greenmount Cemetery"

We find in an exchange paper an anccdote
Of thelate William Writ, that is too good to be
lost. Wirt's Life Of Patrick Henry. as every
reader Of that biOgraphy,know is excessive in
its laudations Of the great Virginia orator; in
fact 1t may be well doubted whether the man
ever lived to whom such swelling and varied
strains Of ~panegyric could be justly applied, as
Writ continually resorts to in depicting the
character Of Henry.
In illustration OF this trait, the following sto-
ry, current in Eastern Virginia, said to be true
to the letter, is told: . +,
Writ was once engaged in the trial of a
cause in which one Of the witnesses on the 9TH
er side was notorious for his gulibility. By
way Of showing up this trait in the witness, and
thus imPairing his testimony, Writ asked him
if he had ever read Riley's Narrative Ind if so,
whether he thought it was truem
ooh yes,' said witness, "pve read it, and ]
believe'every word ofitm
The counsel on the other side perceiving the
advantage gained by his opponent, here inter
posed the question
"Did you ever read Wirt's Life of Henry, and
if so, do you believe it is truew
81 have read it,' replied the simple witness
"but ! can't say that | believe it; no, no, that's
more than l can swallow"

it is not wrong, we would just like to ask why

moving to the place they started for, and fur
