The National IIhig, which seems 10 be laboring
under The singular hallncnation that is bound
defend all the acts of the present administration,
right or wrong, and 10 ellogize all lis members,
whatever may be their respective merits or demer-
its, speaks of the Postmaster General as making
" an honorable and eminent name for himself as an
executive officer" We would respectfully inquire
Of that ayorIe and appropriate organ Of the present
ocfare cabinet now ruling the country, In what man
ner the Postmaster General Ii achieving for himself
such an honorable name In the country n Union Of
yesterday.
We assure our contemporary that we are
not laboring under any such hallucnation,
that we defend none but the right in every
thing, and that we condemn the wrong
wherever we find it, in friend or foe. We
would not consent to occupy the position
held by the Union during MIR. PoLK's adj
minstration for all the placers Of California.
As to the inquiry which our neighbor pro-
pounds, we simply point to the publication
Of the Post Office official corps by Mr.. Col
LAMER, from all corruption, incapacity, dis
honesty, and infdelity in which its $1,000
members, for twenty years past, were
plunged. To achieve this publication will
be honor enough for any man, and Judge
CoLLAMER is on the high road to its reali-
cation.

We are much gratiGed TO learn that our city will
shortly receive visit from Madame LABoRDE 2, accom-
panied by her husband who is excellent vocalist,
and Signof TAPrAsELLI. These arIistes have Gre
aied an immense sensation in the northern cities,
and have been received with unbonnded enthusiasm
wherever they have performed. In point Of execu-
ton Madame LA horde is without equal In the world
unless il is JesNY LIsD and the sweetness power
and compass Of her voice, render her the most de-
ightful and wonderful singer 10 whom we have ever
listened. TArFANELLi, the celebrated baritone, from
La Scala, Milan is deemed by many superior 10 the
great TAmauRI'I, and certainly possesses most ad-
mirable voice. which he manages with infinite grace
and skill We bespeak for him warm reception
from those who can appreciate good music NJ.
LABoRpEs is u tenor voice, OF good power and COM
pass; il gives great pleasure when he attends prop
erly 10 his meditation. We are more particular
in speaking commendaiory OF Madame LABoRDE
and the gentlemen who accompany her, as we have
had aurcular demonstration Of their excellence. We
hope they will receive The encouragement from our
community they SO richly deserved Mr.. d. T. SHAW,
fayorably known In Baltimore polite and gente-
manly manager, will accompany the party, and has
consented 10 reduce the price OF admission from
dollar as heretofore charged, to seventy five cents.

ION lands heretofore exempt from freshets az this

success A serious break has occurred at Geddes,
