AS was anticipated, the city is illuminated by
two "S uns' this morning, both claiming to be
the original organ of the native American party.
The purchasers ofthe old establishment, upon the
execution taken out by Thomas d. Grover for a
large debt due him, issue their paper from the
stand, while the other is printed In franklin
Place. The latter is somewhat smaller than the
other, but as portion of the carriers have taken
sides with the publisher, Mr. Barrett, and serve it
on their routes, the circulation is about equally
divided The affair will, doubtless, result in loss
to one or the other of the contendiug parties,
and perhaps both. Time will show which of the
rival luminaries will triumph,
A portion of the mail intended for this city,
that arrived at Boston by the Caledonia, and
which should have reached here on the 9th Of
the present month, has been received this morn
ing, having been about twenty days in transitu.
Ii has had the advantage OF a trip TO New Orleans
and back, owing to the excellent mis- manage
ment of some OF the employees of the Post-ofiice
department. This dlsarrangement OF the inter-
course OF our mercantile community is a most
serious one, and will, doubtless, cause damage on
both sides of the Atlantic.
The peace of the Sabbath was disturbed by
the usual amount of fighting among the men,
bers of the rowdy portion OF the hre depart
ment, the Paramount and Good Will being
the principal actors. The sentence OF John
Deal, one Of the members of the Fairmount, for
the atrocious assault upon Simler, has aggrava-
ted his comrades to fresh exhibitions OF violence
against the opposing company, the members OF
| which, of course, are delighted with the result
| Of that trial. AS Deal is good democrat, and
| invaluable about election times, he will proba-
bly, be pardoned before his services are required.
| The Paramount rowdies also committed, early
yesterday morning, an nnprovoked outrage upon
| The Assistance Fire Company, while passing
| their house on the Ridge Road. The apparatus
| was much broken, and several of the members
were injured.
There has lately been fatality attending the
officers employed in the Philadelphia custom
house. The flag that surmounts the building
| has, within the last few months, been frequent
| y displayed at haf-mast, in consequence OF
| deaths, and this morning, it is again IN mourn
ing. Edmund c.. Watmough, Esq, one of the
officers there, expired yesterday, from paralysis,
| He was highly esteemed in all the relations Of
life, and by his writings and paintings had ac-
CURED much distinction. He was brother, of
John G.. Watmough, formerly sheriff of this
county, and brother-in-law of Vice President
| Dallas.
