by the Legislature Of that State Major
General Of the 18th Division of the Ohio
Militia. He returned his thanks to his

"IIe thanked his friends for the partial.
ity that had just been shown in elevatine
him from the office Of high private to tina,

"What is this that casts thee down.
Who are those that grisve thee,
Speak and let the worst be known
Speaking may relieve thee"
Our Elderly frie nd of the Jeffe rsonian, in his
last paper, seems to have been considerably cas-,
down and greved at the loss of the Bread and
Butter he has been 80 long enjoying, and h,,
evidently been trying the prescription contained
in the above lines. We hope he feels relieved
by speaking and letting the ,rorst be known
lie says:
awe presume our friend, the Junior editor o.
the Palladium. can sympathise with us for the
loss Of that "Bredd and Buner'' which he has
talked so much about for the last three years
and to which no looked with such longing eyes
From the fact that never have had a TASTE
Of the articlo alluded to- our Elder friend
not and should not expect US properly to sppre-
ciatc his loss; yet, that loss has not been a
gain to US, selishness of course prompts Us to
'symPathise' with him in some degree. We can
diily believe that if our Elderly friend had no,
used the Postof!ice eectioneering machine

OrR New PosrMAsrER GESERAL.-The
editor Of the New York Courier and En-
qnirer. relates the following anecdote o.
Mr.. Collamer, Of Vermont, our new Post
master General
"He is. to an extent, rare even in this
country Of wonderful opportunities and
facilities for success. the artificer Of his
own fortunes, having raised himself. by
the most strenuous efforts, from poverty to
his present place To illustrate his exer.
tons and his merits in this regard, we
may, without impropriety, repeat here a
remark we heard him make, at dinner ol
the graduates of his ARA Mater-,ha
University of Eermont-over a year ago
Speaking of one Of the early Presidents Of
that Institution. who was in Office while he
was in college. Nr e. said he never heard
him utter what seemed - him harsh re-
proof. but once. and that was when he
directed him never again TO appear in the
recitation room, without shoes. The
harshness Of the remark. he said. sprung
from the fac, that ne had no shoes. lie
procured some. however, and for the sake
of economy, carried them IN his hand
to the door of the recitation room, and
then put them on"
Such an anecdote as this is better than a
patent Of nobility. and we rather CUES, that
Mr. Collamer will make an efficient hea
Of the post-office. Mr. Colamar. it neeI
hardly he stated. is friend OF tae cheap
postage system.
