The Washington correspondent of the New

San important principle has been settled be-
tween Gen. Taylor and his Cabinet in regard to
The mode of making appointments, which itmay
be desirable for the public to understand. All
applications for office are required 10 be made
throughthe heads ofthe appropriate departments,
and the President will decline to entertain any
personal appeal in this connection that does not
emanate from the proper source. The proprlely
Of this regulation is obvious, and its observance

Horace GREELEY, has published an address to
his constituents, to show that if the late session
of Congress did nothing of any consequence,
exceptto pass appropriation bills, it was not his
lault.-EIe says:
"There was no good reason for the failure oI
several important benehcent measures which
we're not matured into laws AT the late session.

uness ofa large portion Of those clothed with
the power and charged with the duty Of enact
ing them. do not choose TO bear my equal
portion of the blame, for am confident | have
not deserved it," ~
lie then names the following measures which
he supported, and thinks ought TO have been pas

form. 8. The organization of the new terrific
ries, on the principle of the exclusion Of slave

cnnali Atlas says that Professor Mitchell has
recently returned from his visit TO the places in
te.ested in the great enterprise of connecting
Cincinnati, by rail road, with the Wabash, and
ultimately with 81. Louis. The following sums
of money were subscribed at the various meet
ings addressed by Professor Mitchell:
Dearborn county, S200O00; Ripley, do. $780,
600; Jennings do, 100000; jackson do, $780,
900; Lawrence do, $t00,000; Martin do $40,.
900; Davies do, $4,000; Knox do, 100000.
Total, $870,000.
The cost of the road from Cincinnati to Vim
cinnes is estimated at $2,000,000, and of thi;
sum, 81, $4,000 is already subscribed, making
the construction of the road certain. No OBJ

WILLIAM BALLARD PREsToN.-The Rich'nd
Republican thus alludes TO the appointment Of
William Ballard Preston as one Of Gen. Tay-
lors cabinet:
"The appointment Of this gentleman as At
torney General was one of the most agreeable
surprises we ever experienced. In splendid
speech made by Mr.. Preston at the last session
Of Congress, he sPrang at a single bound to the
front rank Of the great orators of America. An
other effort Of this session has elected warmer
and mure general praise effort which show
ed the statesman and the logician, and which
has only been equalled in point Of eloquence by
the great speech Of Mcdowell, another Of those
remarkable orators whose veins are warmed by
the blood of Patrick Henry.
"Mr. Preston is in the meridian Of life and
the full vigor Of his extraordinary ability. .
high toned and chivahous spirit, full Of noble
impulses, and imbued with genuine Amercal
patriotism, we confidently expect him to add lus
ire TO the new administration, and pour fresl
blaze of renown upon the illuslrous name o
Virginia"

BEG leave most respectfully to announce to
their numerous patrons and the public, that they
in consequence OF contemplating change IN
their business, propose opening the whole OF
their extensive warehouse, Including all their
wholesale rooms,) for retailing and will continue
open t The frs! Of February, commencing on
New Years day lS49, Our wholesale stock COM
prsing ole OF the most extensive and varied as
sortments OF Fancy and Staple Dry Goods ever
exhibited in the western country, will be offered
at lower prices than ever before known. Every
article however choice and desirable, will be ac-
cordingly reduced. Upwards OF fifty thousand
dollars of our stock has been recently purchased,
the greater portion of which are foreign goods re-
ceived at New York by late European arrivals,
which from the 4teness of the season as well as
the known pressure in the money market, were
sold al immense sacrifices at public sales, at i rate
varying from twenty five to fifty per cent less
than similar goods bought at the frs. of the sea-
son. We are therefore confident that our prices
for the time above mentioned will be found to be
even 10 wer than any Eastern wholesale rates.
We anXiousy invite all persons TO visit Our es-
tablishment whether they purchase or not and
test the truth Of the above assuring them that
they will incur no-obgaiion thereby, but confer
favor on the propretors. Our assortment Of
Silks Shaws and fne dress goods will amply re-
pay one fora visit; added to which, an unusually
great display of Domestic Goods will, We hope,
induce all to call.
Our system Of one price will be strictly adhered
to. A. A. MASON Il Co.
