ELKToN Posi- OFFlcE.-Doct. Joseph
Wallace has been appointed Postmaster in
this town in place of Col. Adam Whann'
This appointment gives general satlsiac-
ton. Col. Whann has served his country
in the capacity of postmaster, with
slight intermission in 1871, from time
immemorial," so far as we can remember,
and with ample means to retire upon, he
will no doubt find in his release from pub
lie duty, a welcome relief.
Doct. Wallace removes the fixtures Of
the Office to his store on "Wednesday
next. There will then be an awful break
ing up among the ancient co5webs, which
so many years have hung in festoons a.
round the venerable Colonel's head; and
that great old sword that hangs ION the
wall, will be taken down and lost to pub
lie sight. That old sword -"thereby
hangs a tale" We have often heard a
story that it was welded boldly by the
COL in the famous battle, known as
Braddock's defea,-whence it derived
the title OF "Bradlock," by which it has
been long known to the public. We do
not, however, vouch for the correctness
of the story. Farewell 10 the ancient
postmaster farewell to "Braddock'
Many time have we seen some quizzing
lounger fleeing from its glittering edge
as the Colonel follow ed IN hot pursuit, fol
with 1t. he was wont to defend himself
agains, all ways and trickst ers. The

The LUMBER TRADE OF PoRT DEros1-

The LUMBER TRADE OF PORT DEPOSIT.
Our contemporary Of the Democrat must
have been mistaken last week in regard to
the lumber trade Of Port Deposit. We
apprehend he should have stated that the
annual amount of sawed lumber which
came down the susquehanna was seren'y
millions feet and not valued at $780,
100000, and the aggregate quantity
logs and all-was 20o,oOo,ooo feet not
dollars.

AMERICAN FLAG VIOLATED AT ROME -

AMERICAN FLAG VIOLATED AT ROME --
A correspondent Of the Boston Adverti-
ser gives history Of the transaction
which led 10 the "takng down OF his
arms" by the American Consul, at Rome,
as stated in our telegranhlc dispatches.
The affair took place on the 9th and may
cause some difficulty, between the
French and our own government. Our
Consul; as we'll as the English Consul
had been very actively engaged in Civ
ing passports to the poor devils who have
been compromised by the course of e.
vents--There was crowd OF these peo-
pie before the house Of our Consul when
n picquet of French soldiery passed.
From some reason or other, probably
from some injnrioas words from some in
the crowd, the soldiers immediatel y turn
I'd and ent red the house Of our Consul,
and took two men prisoners. Mr.. Free
man, our Consul for Ancona, happened
to be in the house. and he protested d.
gainst this violation of our flag for the
American flag Was floating before the
house. No notice was taken of this pro
test by the subaltern commanding the
picquet. Freeman Immediately proceed
ed TO Cudnott, who expressed himself
very much annoyed at the acts of his sol
dIers. In the evening Cass wrote on the
compliant of Freeman, TO Oudinot de
handing an apology of the insult. The
answer had not arrived on the 9th. In
the meantime our flags had been taken
in from the houses of the Consul and
Charge, and if an ample apology is moi
made, Cass will leave immediately; sc
stand affairs at present.

The CRors.-We regret to learn that
the wheat crop, in every hundred of this
county, with the exception of Brandywine
and Mill Greek, has not turned out as well
as had been anticipated. A great deal Of
it was injured by the fly and rust, and in
some instances it has not yielded more than
fourth as much as was expected. The
oats crop, it is also stated, is rather a short
one, but there never was perhaps, greater
abundance of hay. Corn generally looks
well, and if the weather should prove ia.
vorable, it will, in a great measure, make
up for the deficiency in the quantity O.

In the recommendation as to the time
for holding the District Convention, pub

typographical error. Thursday the 23rd,

D1ooDY Doves. A stranger to the i'd
,csyrcracy OF the Washington Union, in
looking through its editorial columns, would
be apt to conclude that it is diprnal re-
cord of all the homicdes that take place in
The known world. An idea OF the sanguia-
airy complexion Gifts contests, may be gath
cred from a few gIeanings from the paper
ofyeaterday.

"Thc are now swings without remorse."
"Eigateen clerks were broughl to the block

Il the organ Of the opposition persists in
these records of premature andvr.snt pc
iitjcai deaths, it will soon acquire reputa-
ton equal to that of the National Police
Gozette, and be sought after with as much
avitity by the lovers OF the horrible as a

The PORE PROCLAIMED AT RoaIE. "A
dispatch from Paris, received by the New
York Courier, announces that the French
Government has received the following
Geographic dispatch:
general Oudinot to be the Minister of
War.
"RoME, July 18th, Mid-day.-The re-
establishment Of the authority of the Pope
was proclaimed yesterday in the midst OF
the most enthusiastic accliination Of the
assembled multitude. A tc-dcum was chaunt-
ed, and prayers Of thanksgiving were Of
fered at the st. Peters's- Public tranquil
ity is every day being confrmed-the best
feeling exists between the troops and the
population"
If this announcement Is true the letter
writers from Rome must have entered into
a league to nisrepresent the state ofpublic
feeling in the Eternal City.

LArzsg Bnon SANTA Fs. We have a
&sratch, by telegraph, dated Santa F'e,
Jn,y 9th. The following is the substance
OF L:
"a large number al emigrants have left
Santa Fe tor California. Joseph King, OF
Missouri, was murdered al San Miguel, by
Robert S.anfeld.
"Seven ott 81 nine men belonging to
parties destined for California, under Gen.
Marshall, were killed. They were attack
ed on the Goth of March by 900 Apacha
Indians, on the Rio ella. They succeeded
in killing 25 or 80 Indians, when the re-
malnder fed. Mr.. Marshall and Robert
Ward were dreadfully cut and wounded,
but they managed TO save their lives, and
to reach Guyamas, on the Cult of Califor-
MIA. They subsisted for fourteen DAYS on
what they could pick up along the road"
This is probably the same affair ofwhich
we have had accounts by way Of Texas,
the particulars of the escape of the last two
gentlemen being the only part that is new.

tnTERVI:w BETWEEN Nh. Clay AND Mr.
ThLMoRE.-Ihe editor Of the Rochester
American, who was at the Falls on Mon
day, says of the Meeting Of Mr.. Clay and
Nlr. Fillmore, that after a long separation,
it was, as might be anticipated, most friend
~ and cordial. 1t will be recollected that
a large majority of the Northern wings, liz
GLIDING almost the entire New York dele
cation at Baltimore, desired the nomna:
ton of Mr.. Fillmore as Vice President with
Mr. Clay in 1874. That distinction was,
however, conferred upon another eminent
member of the wing party, and Mr.. F.,
consented to accept nomination as the
candidate ofthe wings of his own State for
Governor. He shared the late Of his illus
irious friend, and of the party generally in
that campaign. We learn that Mr.. Clay
book occasion at the interview above refer
red 10, to assure the Vice President of his
most friendly sentiments towards Gen. Tay
10. and his administration. He had, he
said, no objects to attain, and no plans to
pursue, except to discharge his duty as a
Senator, and he expressed himself in a
ro2nncr which enphaticaIly rebuked all
intiniations and predictions Of opposition to
proceed from him against the National Ex-
ecutive. Buffalo Advertiser, Aug. 4.

ThirfN-firsl Congress-.

The approaching session will be one Of unusual
interest. Already the members are pretty gener-
ally on their way to Washington, and by the end
OF next week there will probably be no absentee
except Hon. II. Butler King, who is detained by
the prostraton of strength consequent upon recent
illness in California.
The two Houses assemble on Monday, December
3D.. Should the House of Representatives imme.
diately organize, the Presidents Message will be
transmitted on the following day. This document
is looked for with great interest, and will undoub-
eddy be one of the most important ever commun-
Gated by the Executive to Congress. 1t will devel-
ope the policy of the Administration in regard to
many questions of high concernment; and, judg
ing from the well-known good and patriot
ism OF the President it cannot fail to give strength
and stability to the Government.
The House OF Representatives is divided so far as
the two great parties are concerned with an unu-
sualy near approach to equality. Neither is likely
to have on any question an absolute majority, and
some four or five members, WHO do not attach
themselves firmly to any party, will hold the ba-
lance OF power. Under such circumstances IL is
not unlikely that several days may be consumed
in the organization of the House by the election of
Speaker and Clerk. 1t is we'll understood that the
Wings will sustain Hon. Robert &. Winthrop for
reelection to the former Office. He has had no SUI
perior presiding officer, unless we except Hen
ry Clay, and is in all respects deserving of the
dial support of his friends. On the other hand,
general report designates, truly doubt, the
Hon. Howell Cobb, of Georgia, the Locoioco
candidate. We trust that the House may choose
its officers without injurious delay, in order that
business may proceed early in the session as
may be.
Among the questions which are likely to claim
the attention of Congress early and hold it long, is
the admission of California. That new State has
sorely disappointed the Southern Calhoun politi-
clans by excluding slavery. Advices from Wash
ington indicate that effort will be made by the
Locofocos of the South to embarrass the entrance
of California into the Union. But this project can
not succeed. II cannot prevent the admission of
another free State 1t must be met, and resisted,
and defeated.

The seats in the galleries have been raised
