APPOINTMENTS BY THE PREsIDENT.-We are
pleased to learn that Col. R. M. McAlpin has been
officially notified of his appointment, as Superlnten-
dent OF the Branch Mint in this city. This appoint
ment, so far as we have heard an expression, gives
general satisfaction and is especially gratifying to
the young men of New Orleans, with whom COL
M. is great favorite.
Mr.. Augustus Devall has also been officially no.
titled of his appointment as Chief Conner Of the
Branch Mint, in place of Mr.. John Brooks
Though Mr. Devall is but little known to US per
sonally, we have no doubt he is well qualified for
the office to which he has been appointed. He Is
the inventor of the Devall Cotton Press, for COM
pressing cotton bales; which is said to be one o.
the most simple and yet beautiful pieces of ma
chinery, and the finest and most perfect combina'
ton of power ever exhibited in this country.

THE SUPREME CoURT.-We publish TO-DAY
the digest Of the decisions rendered yesterday
The tax on capital yet remains undecided being up
on the rehearing There are some forty suits no"
in the Third District Court waiting tor the decision
of this case. 1t is one Of those cases IN which
great public interests are involved and this must be
our apology for calling the attention of the Court to
the subject. There is not in the United States a
Bench which performs so much hard work annually
as the Supreme Court Of Louisiana. This arises II
part from the ridiculous system of making tht
highest Court Judges of the facts. In all OF TIT
other States, they decide only questions Of lar
brought up by bills of exceptions or agreed state
ments. But here, three-quarters of their tune !,
spent in reading through voluminOus records nueo
with the evidence. Then, too, the authorizes
cited and examined, are much more numerous man
in any other State. The Roman, Spanish, FRENCH
and English Codes are searched. And TO alVeFshS
their labors during the hottest months oil tney yea,
thew are treated to an agreeable horseback rd'
from Opelousas to Monroe, and then to the Mlssls
sippi-some four hundred miles.

BURNING OF THE CoLUMBUs.-We learn from
Mr. Cowdery, agent of Messrs. Adams ~ CO., be-
tween here and Norfolk, that last night the
steamer Georgia was off the Wolf Trap light
boat they were hailed by the keeper who informed
them that several of the crew OF the Columbus
were there. Capt. Cannon Immediately answered
the signal and with much difficulty, and not with
out danger, succeeded in getting them all on board
of the Georgia. where they were kindly cared for
and brought up to the city this morning
The particulars of the burning OF this unfortunate
steamer we gather from Mr.. Cowdery. ltaPpears
that there was a spark-catcher used on the smoke
pipe of the Columbus, and it must have become
chohed from the damp atmosphere, which pre-
vented the heat and smoke from escaping, so that
combustion was inevitable. The engineer found
that there was very little steam generating and
upon investigation, could discover no lmpeqlmen
as tue wood was all dry and in fine order Just al
this crisis about O'Clock Thursday morning
the flames burst out from the fues, and spread al
most simultaneously over the whole boat. The
officers and crew attempted to reach the boats, but
there was only that cat loose with the
persons saved, which, however, had the plug out
but the engineer soon stopped it. 1t was with the
greatest difficulty they kept her from sinking on
account Of the high sea, but by continual balng
with their caps they succeeded in reaching the
light boat which was five miles of. Here they
ken care OF until Captain Cannon arrived.
'ght was very light, as We stated Yestsr-
were six horses on board that were
