Death or Francis II. skunk.

The sad event. threatened for weeks has last
spred and the people of Pennsylvania lose of their
most valued and cherished public servants the person
of Francis r. Skunk who died at Harrisburg last eve
ming at o'clock His mind clear to the last, was in
enty fixed upon the prospect of blessed hereafter and
he departed the busy of life the calm
of glorious immortality During long life of public
service, his reputation has been couded by
the breath of passing suspicion.
In the midst of peril he the right and pursued IT
without hinching In the midst of disaster, his pure
heart hoped with fervor Prosperity could not alter
the tenor OF his way, or change the serene smp
city of his character. He firm as he mild
and as courageous he was courteous. No man de-
tected wrong with rapdity, the right with
more perspicuity. No ever kndled into gene
enthusiasm the expressions OF Others reused
into a loer patriotism in the of his country He
has left upon the records of his native State an ndesruc-
tibe reputation; and whether contemplate him as the
honest man. the ef.made statesman, the incorruptbe
chief magistrate, the unpretending Christian, shall
find his character model for the youth of country,
and an example for after times.
His death bed the scene of his proudest triumph.
Victorious the ambitions of life, he crowned the
events of long and coudess by act of sublime
and surprising patriotism and he did not hesitate to be-
eve that next his duty to his God might be ranked his
duty to his principles. FRANCIS II. SKUNK was one OF
the men of the olden time. Nobly has he fulfilled the
hopes OF his countrymen Goreusly has he earned the
applause of postery, and bright reward in the realms
above!
Let to cherish his memory, and to imi
tate his virtues.-Pennsyluani July 90

The Letter Again.

In our article OF yesterday attempted correct the
error in the letter to the Pcayune, by showing that dead
letters must be advertised by lar three aceeks and then
remain in the Office for three months AFTER before their
return as dead letters There is however another class
of dead letters which do not require an advertisement
and returned at the close of the quater-such as are
refused to be taken out by the person addressed To our
great surprise, learn that, yesterday on opening
the quarterly returns from Baton Rouge, forty eight letters
addressed to General Taylor were found in bundle,
marked by the postmaster as refused letters the postage
amounting to " 49, These letters, we learn are post
marked at different offices in the United States du-
ring the months of April. May, and June, directed to
Baton Rouge and refused to be taken from the office BY
him. Among them are found letters addressed to him
from Philadelphia, postmarked the It'll, sth, 9TH and
10th of June The address those post-marked the
18th and 9TH is believed to be in the handwriting of Gov
Morehead The Handwriting has been shown to some
of the members of North Carolina, who unhestatingly

The letter of the 9th 10th probably announces his

heard much for the loss of which the North American
of Philadelphia denounces the Post Office Department for
"gross Encouragement" and more than intmates that
"depredatons" have been committed the correspond
ence of General Taylor-his letters ''abstracted, &C.
Such the charges made of violating the correspond
ence of Judge Whe-and with not more truth. What
will the North American now say! Is it answered?
tseemed TO the North American impossible that the let
could have been delivered in proper time and the
proper office, and that reply should have been made
and hence the postmasers the department must be
censured-charged with abstractng them-of practising
an sespionage" on the letters to the General Will the
North American now do justice to the department? We
shall see.
We understand that at the request of the postmaster
Baton Rouge the letters have been returned unopened
for delivery to Gen Taylor.

They must strongly suspect that he cannot conscien

row. when he addressed the House on Friday con-
fessed to Mr. Meade Of Virginia who put the question
directly him, that the President having such scples
could not be expected to sign such bill. The result,
then, if not the object, is to embarrass the Pres-
dent in regard to the principle of internal improve

scrupes of exposing the public service to the embar
rassment of rejecting large appropriation bill The al
tentative is obvious Why them do the wings press il

then there is general injury inflicted on the public SER

for the Savannah improvement in separate BILL who
will sanction it in its present shape because they
believe to be engrafted the appropriation bill to ad
