''IHE UNITED STATES POSTAL GUIDE AND OFFI-
CIAL REGISTER There is no Department of the Cow
ernment in which citizens feel immediate
personal interest than that of the Post Ofice-for it
is one which concerns their business and bosoms-
but which they less understand in it's general
and special operations. With the view of imparrng
information as to its administration. but chiefly for
the purpose of enabling those connected with it TO
discharge their duties more Understandings and ef-
feciivey, Peter q. Washington. ESQ.,, the late Sixth
Auditor of the Treasury. and Charles Nj. Willard,
Esq., who has been for several years studying the
details of The postal system, have issued proposals
for publishing Monthly Journal under the above III
tie. Its main object will be the publication, is
sued of all laws regulations. corrections, and mod
icatons, relative to the Post Office Department.; thus
imparting to postmasters much useful information,
which, through them, will be of essential service to
the public. The tables of post Offices and compila
ton of the laws aud regulations are issued by the
Post Office Department only once in two or three
years; ard hence much confusion and many mistakes
must necessarily through the ignorance OF post
masters. But, with the information impaired by the
POSTAL Guide" errors would be committed through
careessneSs and inattentiOn alone. In addition to
facts relative to our Postal Department. it is the
intention of the editors, understand, to furnish
information relative to mails made up in this country
for foreign places-an object of great importance in
rapidly increasing business and personal rela-
tons abroad and especially 10 adopted citizens.
The POSTAL Guide" will also include an official
register of all matters of general interest which may
transpre in other Departments of the Government,
and in other respects furnish much useful informa-
ton persons having business to transact with them.

Of an iceberg, surrounded by its broken frag-

guish boys eyes, than take away his heart.

NORTHERN LOUISIANA AND THE UN1oN-The
Farmersyille Enquirer,a a democratic paper pub-
hshed in Union Parish, on the Arkansas line,
contains long and able editorial on Southern
u'traism. It's conclusion we commend to those
politicians out of this State who so often pre-
tend to speak for Northern Louisiana:
"The Georgia papers may save their breath
to cool their secession porridge, or perhaps to
blow into flame the more moderate spirits of
the majority of their own wei, judging fellow
citizens Louisiana--we will answer for North
Louisiana, at least-will never be found want
ing in the defence of her own rights or those
of the South. But she is not to be schooled in
her duties to the South, to the Union and to
herself, by the hot-brained advocates Of violent
and revolutionary remedies for political evils,
which would readily yield TO gentler treatment
She knows her rights, .and knowing, dares
maintain tllem;' and if the bitter moment come,
when the Constitution shall cease to be a bar
rier against the encroachments Of fanatics and
higher-law-nlen, she has the means and the
will to throw herself into the breach, for the
safety of the South. But until that moment
arrives she begs her sister States TO remember
that an honest difference Of opinion is not
Treason, nor weak Submission, and that, plh-
in the Constitution the will Of the Majority is
the Law of the Land 81

:. The MYsT ERIous RAPPERs.-Mrs. Fox and
her three daughters have left New York, for
their home at Rochester. Prior 10 their leay-
ing that city they visited Horace Greely, the
Tribune man, at his residence, who says: "It
would be. the basest cowardice not to say that
we were convinced beyond q doubt ofiheir per-
feet integrity and good faith, in the premises.
Whatever may be the origin Or the cause Of
the .rappings,' the ladies' in whose presence
they occur do moi make them, We tested this
thoroughly and to our entire satisfaction" So
il appears, 1t last, these knockings, if we are
permitted to form an opinion from the above,
which we extract from an artiele.r under Mr.
Greely's own signature in the New York Tri-
bune, are no humbugs after all. 5.' s8s 3

their purses, by means of these sweet little
birds About The promenading hour Of the

or six swallows; then she exhibits to passers
By, particularly to the ladies whose compassion
is Immediately excited on seeing the efforts of
the futtering little prisoners to be free. "Would
you like to letfone go!' says the woman, sit

supposed, nanyavail themselves of the pleas
sure, pay their two pennies TO the woman, re-
ceiye in their handsthe bird, and then enjoy the
satisfaction Of seeing it fly AWAY at liberty. In
this way, one by one, the cage is emptied, and
the woman goes home, where she finds her
swallows, already arrived before her. The
birds having been trained, take advantage of
their liberty only to return directly to the habi-
tation Of their mistress. The next day she
commences the same comedy anew,
