There is mot a little" Stir in the wing ranks
these days, on account of the spoils Mr. Fillmore
is not satisfied with only burying his predecessor,
but he seems also determined to make way with
his friends. The Taylor wings" and the present
dynasty arc evidently not on very loving terms,
and the former are Catching it" wherever they
sm be reached. Most of the nominations made
by the late president and Enacted upon up to the
time of his death, have been withdrawn, and 9th.

Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Evening
Post thus announces the withdrawal by the pres.

We had no ide, of the damage done TO grain
in this region by the late storms until, by short
tripup the country, we were enabled 10 see for our
selves. There is scarcely grain stack up Indian
Creek and Fox River, but is more or less injured,
and many--we had almost said ,hird--ot the
wheat and oats stacks, are total loss-an o!lens
i've, rotton heap. Scores Of farmers who had toll
cd hard to get their grain into stacks, and were
rejoicing in an abundant crop now find themselves
without bushel This destruction, however, we
are happy to learn, does not extend south OF thus.
IN the yermlion region and further south little of
the storm was felt and we hear of no damage
having been sustained.

The Mails.

There has been hut one easernm mail since Tuesday.
Thore is no excuse for this failure. The breach
in the canal, although it may stop the mail from
being carried for few days on the canal, has not
blocked up or in any manner rendered the roads
impossible So tia, the mails could easily be con-
veyed BY land if he contractors were SO disposed.
Their contract does not allow them TO stop when
