To the Editor of the Union


SIR: An article on mail depredaons recently ap-
peared in the New York True Sum- and republlshed
in the Union" of yesterday in which it is stated that
"A muss made recently withrwo clerks in our city
New York; post Office, caught in the act of Pilferng
letters and money the Office but neither of them has
ever been dealt with according to law, that we have
heard" In October last one of the clerks in the New
York office was detected by the postmaster in plferng
from the till, money drawer, and was Immediately ap-
pretended and handed to the proper authorities He
was committed for trial at the next term of the United
States district court.
No other report of clerks caught pilferng has been
made from the New York Office.
In all cases of alleged loss by mall it is the common
practice to throw the blame upon the department That
this is frequently unjust, will appear from the following,
among many other Instances Upon receiving iufoma-
ton Of the loss OF the money mailed at Pittsbug, Che
case cited in the Sun,) investigation was Instituted
by the department which resulted in the detection of
young man who in way connected with the post
office, but who in the employment OF mercantile
house in Boston, and who acknowledged that he had,
within short time, stolen letters addressed to his
ployers containing different of money, amounting,
in the aggregate, to about $1,000.

Two Messages.

AS expected before the commencement OF the ses-
sion, calls for information continue to pour IN upon the
Executive The opposition sounding the depths and
shadows of the executive department. under the hope OF
drawing up something from the bottom which may ad-
vance their party purposes So far, the pummetne has
been thrown in without any advantage TO the

ties which levied in Mexican ports American ships
and merchandise We lay both of them before our read
The sent in TO the Senate takes the game out
of the hands of the wings, dsspates all the hopes which
they had formed, and justes the of the admins
lraton. These propositions are clear that we have
right to raise acquisitions the enemy to assist us in the
prosecution of the war; that if they take the form of du-
ties, it is policy lay them on our own citizens as
well foreigners and that, fact we might as well
abandon at this source of revenue if we admitted
the cargoes of citizens free of duty; and
though the importers, whether citizens foreigners,
may advance the duty in the first instance, yet the Mexi
cans ultimately pay it, when they consume the imported
articles.
In his message TO the House, the President puts at rest
the rumOrS which nave been rife on the streets and
the papers, that the government has official infor-
nation of the negotiation of treaty, of the proet of a
treaty, proposed by Mr.. Ths the three Mexican
commissioners. The message shows that there is
no foundation for such reports, so far ad-
minstraon is concerned. 1t is whispered, indeed,
out of doors, that Mr. Mcintosh, the British agent,
has attempted TO bring about such negotiation, and
had given some assurances Gen Scott of the DISPOSE
ton of the Mexican government to propose concil
atory scheme of adjustment 1t is whispered also, that
these assurances had not been verified. But how far
these suggestions are true, we have no of
