CHEAP PosrAGE.-The following extract from an
article in the last number Of the Democratic Review
the Post Office presents the argument in favor of
uniform rate of two cent letter postage, in its
impregnable aspect.
1t is singular that considering the circumstances of
the condition of the United States compared with
Great Britain the amount Of correspondence between
individuals should be much less in America than
IN England The census of lS4l, &c, I'll ,059 Of
whom II, l27 ,405 were over % years of age of
these Al per cent unable to read and WRITE eav
ing but l55, l69 persons who enjoy the advantages
of post office. These transmit through the mail
$4,000 900 letters per annum. 2S4 letters each.
In the United States are, according TO the census, s.
500, 500 free white persons over - wears who can
read and write and these il appears, in 1914 mailed
but 81 63l 036 letters % each and this year of
all sorts 50 900 900 letters about nine letters each
being third only of the quantity of letters mailed
per capita in Great Britain. If the people of this
country should write each as many those of Eng
land there would be 165, 900. 600 mailed and two
cents each, would give revenue of 50, 200 Coo equal
10 the revenue of the present year.
Every one must know that the only reason why as
many letters are not written in this country as in
England, is because have higher rate of postage
TO pay.

A GENTLEMAN OF CoLOR.-A friend informs US that
the richest in st. Thomas, Of the principal
ports of the West Indies, is negro as black ebO

lions of dollars, and has acquired his wealth by tra
ticking in persons of his own color, He has two
children. both of whom were early sent to Hamburg
to be educated where pans expense was spared
to enlighten both their minds and their skins. One
of them, girl, returned 10 ST. Thomas with many
accomplishments both of mind and person, complex
ion somewhat free from its original shadows, and
heart altogether susceptible of the delightful i'm
preston of love. To the great modification of her
father, however, she bestowed her affections on a
person of her culor. clerk in her fathers house.
and young man of respec,ablity and worth; and in
spite of parental authority, was clandeSnely married
to him. This coming TO the knowledge of the father,
dispeased him, that he dlsnherited the happy pair
and procured their punishment from the island. The
husband, however, lived bot a short time, and the
daughter has been received again into the family cir

satisfaction of the father who has liberty furnished
him with all the good things IF this life. The other
child who is a son. married white woman at Ham,

Gently returned with them TO ST. Thomas where they
were received with great pride of feeling by the sable
grandfather, who handles them upon his knee and
kisses their sweet faces with much affection as
though he were white.

The QUARRELs OF OUR GENERALs-Some time last
July, Gen Worth, who commanded the First and ad-
Division of our Army, arrived before the city
Of Puebla, and met by deputation from that
place. capitulation and treaty were agreed upon
between Gen. Worth and the Mexicans, by which the
latter allowed much larger liberty, and mure
rights, that had before been conceded to them by
any of Generals. 1t considered that this
treaty exposed troops whilst encamped IN Pueba,
to be assassnated with lmpunlty, and left them with
out any means of redress for any injuries. When
Gen. Scott arrived Pueba, he condemned this trea-
ty IN the strongest terms, and censured Gen. Worth
for making it, The latter Immediately demanded a
Court of Inquiry. Such a court ordered to be
held by Gen. Scott 1t was composed of Gems. QUIT
man, Twiggs and Smith. The finding Of the Court
was severe condemnation and censure of Gen. Worth
Gen. Scott approved the decision of the Court and here
first commenced the interruption of friendship which
had lasted for than twenty years The GOODNESS,
not to say enmity, of these two Generals continued
until our army about TO advance from Pueba,
when an apparent reconciliation effected.
There were whisperings that Gen. Scott was sorely
chagrined the result, and strongly condemned Gen.
Worh's dispositions at FL Molno del Rey, aud that
this lamentable affair would be the subject least ot
Court Of Inquiry.
But the present difficulty between Gems, Scott and
WORTH did not originate from the disaster at Moline.
The cause of Gen Worths arrest the of dis
respecuul ana unomcerhke language III elIer VIII
ten by him 10 the Commander-In-Chief. On the
publication of the order in regard to letters written
from the army. and the consequent arrest of Col.
Duncan, Gen. Worth wrote letter to Gen. Scott,
inquIrng if he (Gen. w ) referred to In these
general orders. General Scott replied that he would
not respond to the inquiry. Thereupon Gen. Worth
wrote letter. charging the Conmander-in-Chief with
unotcerlike conduct, and requesting the charges to
be transmitted to the Secretary of War. For sending
this letter, Gen. Worth was arrested, aud will be
tried by a court martial in the city of Mexico.
Gen. Pillow arrested for appealing from de-
cision Of the Genera-in-Chief, and sending on his
appeal the Secretary of War without the consent

GEN. QUITMAN.-It is right to give publicity to an
incident in the sormiDg of the city of Mexico, which
illustrates the bravery and patriotic enthusiasm of this
officer but which his modesty had suppressed from the
knowledge of the country. The following is an ex-
tract of letter from the gallant leader of the mount
ed rifle regiment, major Loring,) who fell at the
head of his regiment the Of entering the city
of Mexico, by a wound which deprived him of one of
his arms. The extract Is an eloquent tribute from a
gallant soldier to the bravery of his distinguished
commander. The letter addressed friend in
private correspondence:
"Gen. Qutman was at the head of my regiment at
the time | was shot. We were the nearest Ameri-
soldiers TO the city of Mexico and their army at
the time | was wounded. After fell, he armed him
self with one of my rifles joined the rifles in their
charge upon the Garta de Belen fired his last cartridge,
then tied his handkerchief TO its muzzle, a1d waved
his gallant soldiers the MISUNDERSTANDING the
first TO mount amid the terrible carnage that followed.
I'll venture say there few instances in history
where one SO high in rank and advanced in life has
thus hnd and availed himself of the brilliant oppor-
tunity of wreathIng around his brow distinct IL
tie 10 the honor of being regarded bravest of the
brave"

SINGULAR ATTEMPT AT SUIcIDE.-A good deal of
surprise experienced yesterday morning at a re-
port that Mr. John Thornton and citizen Of this city,
had attempted TO commit suicide. Mr.. Thornton was
the victim Of an immoderate love of money. He
came to st. Louis many years since. and commenced
business in very small way keeper Of grocery.
BY unusual thrift, and reducing his expenditures to
very small sum, he amassed large amount of mo
ney, and Is supposed at the time Of this occurrence
TO have been worth at least hundred thousand dol
ars-a great portion of il invested in bond and mort
gage. For years past. money has been the god Of his
idoatry, and took entire possession of him. Latter
ly he seemed to be impressed with belief that he
about lose all that he possessed and tn become
beggar, and this fear so wrought upon him that il
alenaed his and led to the attempt to destroy
hrs own life.-St. Louis Rep, Jan. IA.

The ELooUENcE OF AcTIoN-The Hamburger
Is. c. Republican thus describes interesting
scene which occurred in that place during the brief
stay of Gen. Shields while on his way to Washing
ton:
We rejoice that enabled to relate one good
thing that occurred while Gen. Shields in
place. A good, honest, laborng son Of the Green
Isle had been standing round waiting for an intro
duction his countryman, the General. Our
mee however, being men of exalted minds, at least
about that time, did not the honest Hibernian
who was too modest to ask for introduction, but
followed the crowd to the railroad depot, where some
of our citizens had prepared a cannon togve loud
farewell to Gen. Shields. On arriving at a point
near the door of the cur, Gen. Shields halted and
seemed for a moment TO be in solemn thought, if
the roaring cannon reminded him. of other scenes
Our honest Irish friend during the time had kept
his person If spe-bound, until about the time the
General was in the act of taking his final leave.
/ Poor Pat could stand it no longer; he rushed for
ward 10 the general, caught hun by the hand, ex-
claiming, :" How are you, my countryman am prou-
der of you than you of yourSelf!" Gen. Shields,
with a manner that showed his heart in the act,
taking off his cap, caught the hand of the poor labor
er and gave him such a shake as none but noble
heart in lrishmans breast could give, exclaiming
at the same time, How do you do, my worthy coun-
tryman am indeed glad to meet you thank you,
thank you. - Pat stepping back and standing some
inches above his usual height, exclaimed: "And
faith, you the boy under whom | would like to
fght!' The whole of deep interest,
and plainly illustrated the eloquence OF action.
