Exemplary AppoIntment.

We announced yesterday morning the appoint
ment of VIM. J. P. White, ESQ.,, as postmaster at
Philadelphia, and il is hardly possible that another
person could have been selected at once so compe-
tent for the dnes and SO deserving Of the emolu-
ments Of the Office. But the appointment is not
only appropriate with regard TO the incumbent Its
chief importance refers 10 the interests and conve
nience Of the people of Philadelphia. The post
Office bears peculiarly close relation 10 the commu-
ri and in onr large eiles i Is especially desirable
that the postmaster sh0nld be man Of active and
industrious habits, good discernmen and experience
True, these are qualities that should characterize
every public officer but they are Indispensable in
popnlous placcs where any degree Of incapaciiy
must involve and prejudice the interests OF thou
sands every day. The reormatory policy affected and
we think manifested in the design Of the admin
israton In the matter Of appointment to Office could
be applied In none where It's genuineness and ELI
cheney would be 80 readily perceived by the people as
in the selection of posmaste.a. While, on the other
hand, there Is none in which bad appointment
would more speedily and mediately prejudice the
policy OF the government.
Without disrcspect TO individuals, II Is notorious
thai post-office appointments have been conferred
in by-gone days, upon persons utterly disqualified
for the judicions and effective performance Of the
duties pertaining 10 them, SO engrossed In other
subordinates. Whenever this has been the case the
interests Of the public have been seriously compro
missed and Just dlsaffeciion on the part OF the peo-
pie hns been the reproach Of the government FIX
perience Ia moreover IN essential quality In the d.
rection of post Office affairs; and whenever, Us in
the case before u.s. other qualities combine to approve
man Of practical experience he possesses in the
latter an added Recommendation, intimately allied
with the public interests Bait Sun. DEM

The Capture OF SLAYER, called the Harriet,
Of PhfIn delphfn. sN

we received the following account Of tho capture
Of slave brig, by recent arrival from 81. Helena.
we give II for public benefit and await further inel-
1 ligeDcei ss
| lesty's soop Cygnot brought 10 ST. Helena brig
she had captured sixteen days previously, on tho
west coast Of Africa, with large cargo Of slaves
amounting to between eight and nine hundred The
brig proves 10 be tho Harriet, lately belonging to
Philadelphia. AT tho time of capture she had on
board eight American seamen-vir: John Ander-
son, mate; John Davis, Edward Day, John VIII
anls, Samuel H. Dawes, William q ponnell, john
Hall, and Thomas Berncrs, scancni all belonging 70
Boston and Philadelphia These men give an ac.
count, stating that they were the original crew OF
the brig, under the command Of ~ Dullng, having
left Boston In Juno last that they hsd been 70 one
Of the Capc de- Verde lsands, and thence TO Bahia,
in tho Brazs. with cargo Of salt; there she took
on board full slave cargo which she carried 70 the
west coast Of Africa and, after landing the Chief part
of II, Captain DEling sold the vessel TO Brazilian,
who went out from Bahia as supcrcargo in her and
who then assumed the command Of the vessel. Al
this time, Capt. Dulng told tho crew that they might
60 on shore, and thnt he would pay them oil. This
happened at Ambriz, at which place there were two
vored TO got passage but without success, The
crew, dreading sickly climate, and being. thrown
shore among parcel Of negroes, where there was
neither government nor protection, and being uncer.
tain II they did 90 shore there and survive land
the uncertainty q proper opportunity Offering e
take them away) chose the only alternative Of avail
ing themselves OF the offer Of the Brazilian supercar
GO, Of remaining on board the Harriet passengers,
to work their passage back to the Brazils to where
the vessel was bound very short time after II APP
pears full cargo Of slaves was sent on board, with
water, arms, and every other necessary for slave
vessel, and then Instantly despatched, with the add
non Of seven men TO form the crow. After being
three days US sea, she was captured as before men
toned but on the boats Of the Cygnet boarding her
she had the American flag displayed, and, In con-
sequence Of firing upon the boats, John Hall-being
then at the wheel-was shot through the shoulder,
and another of the crew received q severe cutlass
wound on the skull
The American seainen say that no time during the
voyage did they receive the least ntimaton that the
Harriet was TO have been sold in Africa, or be en-
gagged in the slave tradei because. had they known
port.
