Free Negroes.-The N. o. Bulletin, speakius
OF several recent outrages at that city by free ne.
groes, states tina, that class of population is getti
worse every day, and that the time is nos far dis
tant, when their expulsion from the State will be
absolutely necessary. This sentiment is begin.
ming to be very generally entertained in all the
slave States; and we believe if general edict
was promulgated for their expulsion from the
South, 1t would tend moro towards siIencing the
clamor OF Northern abolitonists. than any Other
movement that could be made. We hope the mex,
Legislature of Arkansas will take measures to rid
its soil of the presence of this worse than useless
population Democrat.
6tThe Little Rock Gazette saws: "Tbe free
negroes mere are more free than the whites, while
the halffree negroes are quite as free as any
white man need be- Another evil, arising from,
some cause, is the insubordnaton amongst the
slaves, and their entire want of respect for, and
obedience TO, their owners. This is noticed by all,
and severely felt by many. The best of servants,
when brought here, seem rapidly to degenerate
into carelessness, negligence, disobedience, and
frequently insolence. This is an evil of no small
magnitude, and should be remedied promptly and
effectuaIIy.''
The insubordination and disobedience which are
found among the slaves. can be attributed TO one
cause only-that of allowing them to fraternize
with the free negroes.
0TThe last Fort Smith Herald, speaking on
the same subject, says:
sour town, at this time, is infested with lazy,
triaing, free negroes, the greater portion of whom
are utterly worthless-besides they have a bad
influence on the slaves by their example,
We have noticed also article on the same
subject in the Eldorado Union, commenting on
the evil tendency of permitting free negroes to
reside in our State.
The next Legislature will no doubt pay some
regard to the voice of the people in this matter.

PosT-OFFIcE DEPARTMENT.-The annual report OF
the Postmaster General. is published at length

affairs of the department-the important changes
made in the rates of postage and in the mail service
in 1915, having proved highly advantageous With
greatly enhanced amount of service the cost per
mile for mail transporta ions, is reduced than
one quarter.
The length of the various mail routes in the u. S.
was, the LIST of July last, 167 703 miles, which
the mail transported, 42,547 ,069 miles, at the
of s., 42S, SIS exclusive of the expense $685.
692 incurred for the transportation Of the mail TO
Bremen, Havana, and across the sihmns of Panama.
The gross for the year ending June 30. lS49
amounted 10 81 ,905, 176. The expenditures
S4.479 049 1t is estimated that the expense for the
year. ending June next, will be S4 $50 1873,
and the revenue for the same time. s.. 783. 64S.
The whole number of letters passing through the
mails the past year. and charged with postage,
amounted to GO G00 900. The postage collected

if important draft should be made upon the Trea
sury further reductions may be resorted to hereafter.
The railroad service is constantly increasing, being
present equal to 6, 1873 miles, which the mail is
transported 5.749,040 miles annually. The foreign
mail service via Southampton and Bremen was per-
formed the past year by the steamships Washington
and Herman for $500, 900. The amount realized
from postage from that service for the year ending
Oct. Alb S61 ia. The only remaining foreign
mail service contracted for by the government. is
that performed by the steamer Isabel between Charles

The policy ut constructing ocean mail steamers for
domestic service. pursued by former administrations,
is dsapproved Of.
In relation to the transportation of the mail across
the Isthmus. by The government of New Grenada, il
is suggested that that this service is tardly per-
formed, and new arrangement should be made,
permitting tile service be performed by ourselves.

ANOTHER "slYsrERroUs DIsAPPEARANcE."-Th
Buffalo papers give accounts Of another sudden ds-
appea rance, which is exciting good deal of feel
ing and wonder in that city, and about the Falls of
Niagara. Ii seems that woman of fine personal
appearance, about 80 years DID, reached Niagara by
the railroad train on the morning of the 10Th ult,
having with her two bright looking boys, 4 and
years old. After taking rooms at the Eagle Hotel,
she called for writing materials and secluded herself
with the children. Nothing more was seen of her.
Early next morning the bell of her chamber
rung by the little boys, who were found alone. They
stated that the previous night, on putting them
bed, their mother kissed them, and babe them good
night, which was the last they saw of her. On the
table in her found three letlers-one d.
recied to Major Miller, U. S. A., one to John Nor
ve Detroit, and TO the proprietor OF the Eagle
Hotel also the rnglets side of her head. her
gold watch, two trunks Of clothing. silk purse
tanning some gold and silver coins and her wedding
ring. The letter addressed to the landlord of the
hotel. was "a follows:
"T0 The Proprietor Of the Eagle Hotel:

covered No one shall gaze on my mangled remains

From her cnnduct and other circumstances. espe-
cally the places in which her bonnet and other parts
of her clothing were found, the common superstition
was that she had deliberately committed suicide by
throwing herself from the bridge that leads to Goat
Island. into the rapid stream, and being swept over
the Falls. But the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser of
the 9th ult.. to doubt this. and gives out an
intimaton of deception the part of the lady, in
the following paragraph:
alt is reported here that a lady, answering to the
description of Mrs. Miller, left this city for the East
in the express train yesterday morning, and that
there circumstances leading the belief that the
apparent evidences of suicide only apparent Her
friends will undoubtedly investigate the NATTER and

communicate to the public. shall do, we would

! LATER.-It is now said that Mrs. Miller who was
supposed to have committed suicide, by throwing her.
self from the bridge Niagara Falls. has eIoped.
with Henry Blsckmer, Of Philadelphia. She is q
m~st beautiful woman, about thiriy-fve years Of
age.
