Posi- OFFICE DEPARTMENT.

DEAR SIR:-The Postmaster General
decided yesterday to make Keokuk post
office distributing post office, in respect
TO mails passing from south to north and
from north to south, into and from the
State of Iowa-in respect to which etab-
llshment, your letter of the 9th inst, urg-
ing it was received and placed on file.
Your application in behalf of Burling-
ton Tor like arrangement in respect 10
the eastern mails has not yet been def
nitively disposed of. The location of Bur-
lington is not so free from objection as that
of Keokuk. 1t is not the sole and exclu-
sive entering point into the State of the
mails TO be subject to its distribution.
Such is the position Of Keokuk in respect
the southern mails; whereas, the eastern
mails have channels into Iowa through Fl.
Madison, Bloomington and Davenport.
without speaking Of points further north
and the effect of making Burlington the
distributing point for the eastern mails,
would be to concentrate into that channel.
to great extent, what should pass through
the others, and compel CORES pondence, in
many cases, 10 pass over an increased and
circuitous distance, simply to be remailed
and forwarded. But this is a matter that
will be more carefully louked into.
Respectfully, your obt serv't,

The regret seems universal in regard 10 the tar.

all appropriate means to avert the Cholera. &c An

this case is an applicable axiom. God has favored

ing 20 certain laws. When he shows his goodness
ana mercy on an individual community and II
reads to repentance and obedience, his plan is ac-
eomphshed. The happiness and safety of the SUBJ
ject are secured. But when il fails to accomr,;.h
this, then he sends his judgments to secure the
result. II the latter fails, then the transgressor
must look out. This principle our Maker has .c,ea
on IN al ages. Illustrations OF it abound in the
Old Testament, in the frequent rebellion. an, -
pentings OF the people whose history is there re-
'oraed' Although this may appear like an episode
70 some, stu the thought of recognition of Gods
soodhess should not be so viewed. 1t should be
an ever-present thought to all--entering and per-
sading all our acts. In this light our suggestion
Win nave an appropriateness attached to il which
might without this explanation, remain mack
now'edged. But for all this, we are not presump-
fuousiy TO neglect the means appropriate to secure
our preservation. If Lime is ordained to take mn
and neutraize the poison existing in the atmosphere
ana IN our own systems-as we believe itis-if il
possesses such property, then we think it is the
duty Of those to whom the power is committed Of
scattering and dcpositing it throughout our city to
DO It without delay. The neglect exhibited in clean

When once it comes in that shape, how many of our
citizens may be swept of, none can tell. ;.

accompanied with brief address from the editor
and proprietor of the paper, DR.. Bailey in which
the gratifying information is conveyed that the
establishment has become a selfsupporting, pay
ing concern, and is fixed beyond contingency. at
the capital of the nation. The character of the
Era is well known. We consider it the best
weekly general newspaper, of which we have
any knowledge. None has done more and none
W. think, can do more for the cause of right, in
every walk and department of life, than the Era
An increase of patronage will, of course increase
its facilities for usefulness, so that every friend
of the great principles it so ably and fearlessly
advocates, will aid in the advance of those pril-
ciples by endeavorng to increase its circulation.

bGrs, but any person remltting IS, can have three
copies sent to any required address.

ITEMS FROM CALiFOR-

| From JOHN PARRoTf, Esq, L. S. Con
sui at Mazatlan, who is now at the Astor
House, we have obtained some interesting
itens Of laie California intelligence, in adj.
ditiOn 10 those which he kindly furnished Us
yesterday. Mr.. Parrot, we may remark,
is intimately acquainted with all raris of
California, and gives Il more thorough and
satisfactory account Of affairs than any one
who has reached here since the discovery
of the Gold Region.
lie Informs us that the ruling idea of the
country is the wealth so unexpectedly
opened to it. Government is scarcely
thought Of; all other interests are swallowed
up in this absorbing mania for gold. A
Convention has been called 10 meet in Au-
gust, for the purpose Of eflecting a political
organization, but it will not be able to do
much. There has been considerable com

oil the United States have not vet been ex-
tended over them. They are however too
strongly bent on digging to take the trouble
of forming Constitution of their own
Gen. Smith is unsupported by any military
force. and can do nothing at present.
In the gold districts tacit system of in
dvidual right has been agreed upon, and is
preserved with the mos, honorable exact
ness. Each man who enters upon new
ground has the privilege of marking out
eight yards square and digging upon it so
long as he chooses; his premises are never
invaded. He is at liberty TO dispose OF his
right either by sale or lease, or drop it en-
tlrcly and try new locality. The sense OF
justice among the miners has thus far pre-
vented all trouble or dispute.
The moral effect of general enrichment
of the whole population, is worthy of no.
tce. In the absence of all law except such |
as is administered by the Alcades, hundreds |
of persons have voluntarily discharged debts |
many years ago, and which their
creditors had in many cases given up as !
hopeless. A man who is industrious and |
temperate has no difficulty in obtaining ere.

The proposition first suggested by State

commemorate, accessible from the North,

for so important a gathering. We hope
