TIE New MAIL ARRANGEMENT.-W
are requested TO say that from and after Mon
day nexr, the new arrangement for daily
mail to and from Port Tobacco and WASH
ington City, uia Marbury's Landing, will 90
into operation. Mr.. McDermol,, the con
tractor, will have upon the line two Stages,
which will run daily-one to leave the
Landing upon the arrival Of the steamboa, a,
ii o'clock, and the other to leave Port To-
bacco at the same hour, which will connec,
with the boat, on her upward trip, at 2
o'clock
The Stage from Newpor, will run as usual,
except that it will leave for Port Tobacco
at half past S, instead Of o'clock, as here
tofore. This arrangement will supersede
the necessity of persons living in the neigh
borhood of Newpor. and Chap,ico remain
ing the over night in Newport, as they will
have time in the morning to ride in before
the Stage leaves.
Should this arrangement Of furnishing Us
with daily mail succeed, it will be great
accommodation to our citizens. We are for
giving i. fair trial, and hope no opposition
will be raised against it until it has been
proved impracticabe.

The Reception OF Kossuth.

From the moment we first heard the name Of
Kossuth spoken to the present, our admiration
for him has known no abatement. The friend
Of his country and his race, and the friend Of
religious and civil liberty, he is worthy our
highest honors and our warmest plaudits.
While he was afar off, and while there were
not wanting Americans to SANDER and denounce
him, we spoke his praise, and predicted with
confidence the discontinue of his assailants.
He is now upon our soil, and in their univer-
sal laudations we fear our countrymen are
going beyond what is seemly and compatible
with true dignity. Their rage is excessive, and
it's manifestations extrayagant. We regret this.
We cannot look with favor upon any act on
the part Of our countrymen that they may have
occasion to regret, and we have never known
an instance in which such undignifed enthu-
siasm has not been regretted. We can do honor
to our guest and to ourselves by greeting him
cordially and respectfully; but let the metrop-
oils Of the nation at least, waive all manifesto
tions of alteration, all frenzied and unmeaning
excuses, and receive him with an appreciative
regard for him as the champion Of rational lib
erty.

CHAPLAINs.-A writer in the Republic Of this
morning suggests to Congress to adopt the rule
to invite every minister who has charge Of church
and congregation in The city Of Washington, and
holds no office under the Government, 10 open IN
turn the deliberations Of Congress each day IN
prayer. "Set apart fund" he says, "to be
divided among those who ofiiciate, at the end Of
the session. This would give to every denomi-
nation of Christians equal rights, prevent sys-
tenn Of electioneering among the clergy, and do
justice especially to the humble, self-denying
pastors, who confne themselves to the duty Of
taking care of their focks" We heartily up
prove of this plan.

COLONEL BENTON IN MIssoURI.-Since the re-
turn Of Colonel Benton to Missouri, the war
between the Benton and anti-Benton portions of
the Democratic party in that State is said to
have broken out with renewed spirit and bitter
ness. The ST. Louis Union, the organ of the
Bentonites, has proclaimed that there can be no
union between the two parties, and publishes
with commentator the proceedings Of meet
ing at which Colonel Benton was nominated for
Congress, and preference expressed for Gen.
VIM. o. Butler for President, and Gen. Dodge,
of Wisconsin, for Vice President. The st.
Louis Intellgencer thinks all this indicates with
sufficient distinctness, first, that Colonel Benton
will shortly announce himself candidate for
Congress in that district; second, that he will
wage an implacable warfare upon the antics, as
heretofore; third, that they, the aforesaid an
ties, must either succumb and sue for pardon
in humble tones, or fight out to the last the war
fare between Colonel Benton and themselves
fourth, that the pretensions Of General Butler
for the Presidency are to be urged by Colonel
Benton and those with whom he acts; fifth, thai
during the next year they are to have politi'
cal excitement in Missouri unparalleled for its
intensity and bitterness.

CLERICAL ERRoR.-Azor b. Crane, esq, the
Democratic candidate for county judge in Put
nam county, New York, fails to obtain the GER
tifcate of election, by the misspelling of his
name on some Of the ballots, which read Azor
B. Crane, and which the county canyassers did
not count for him. Judge c., it is also stated,
will appeal from the decision Of the board to
the courts, where, we have no doubt, the deci-
sion of the canvassers will be reversed. We
have seen " excepted" received in court as in
tended for accepted, on the face of a draft,
though the difference was much wider than be-
tween Crane and Crane.
