The following article from the Columbia Tele-

OF aspiring ambition, youthful gayety, and military
fervor which characterize the Secession party OF
the State:

We are informed that the mail referred to in
the intelgencer lately as having been found by
the town bailif of Havre de Grace, near the rail-
road station in that place, was in fact found in
the river Susquehanna. 1t was stolen on the night
Of the 26th January last by CHESTER CHnps,
the young man lately convicted at Baltimore of
stealing large sum Of money from Adams's ex-
press car, and sentenced TO fifteen years imprison-
ment. The mail car ran off the track that night,
near Gray's Ferry, and it became necessary to
SHIFT the mails to the baggage car. Childs, who
was then employed as brakeman on the road,
aided in this transfer and, while engaged in it, con.
trived to secrete small pouch containing sealed
mail of about sxty-fve letters from various points
in New England for distribution and delivery at
Charleston. He retained the pouch in his posses
sion until the train arrived at Havre de Grace and.
having in the mean time broken open one package
of letters without finding any money, he there
threw the whole into the river. About sixty let
tiers have been recovered with their seals unbroken
they have been dried, and will be mailed this dav
for the several points Of their original destination.

We place two of these Letters in our columns to-
day; the one from Gen. HARRISON, weIEknown
leading Democratic Representative in Congress
from the State Of Georgia; the other from Gen
ROBERT STANTON, of Mississippi.
Upon the latter Of these Letters the {" Natchez
Courier" from which we copy it, makes the fol-
lowing remarks, from which the reader will dis
cover how important sign it is of the course and
current Of public opinion even in Mississippi:
"The letter from Gen. RoBERr STANTON of this county,
to the State Rights Association recently formed is Of

"Ths letter of Gen. STANTON is important sign of the
times and shows concusivey that the Democracy do not

The Collins steamer Baltic sailed from New York for

The perfection which our Ocean Steamers have
attained is evinced in the remarkable regularity
with which CoLL1Ns's line perform their voyages
across the Atlantic. These vessels leave New
York and Liverpool every alternate Saturday from
one port and Wednesday from the other-intervals
of ten days. The voyage is now made in those
ten days with such ferry-boat p,enctuality that we
find, during several recent trips, one steamer ar
irving from Liverpool on the very day that her
consort is departing from New York. Thus, on
Saturday the 24th ultimo, the Baltic coming into
port met the Artic going out, and on Saturday last,
the Pacific arrived as the Baltic was departing.
About halfpast IL o'clock on Saturday, gentle
man in this city, impatient for his foreign CORE
spondence, teegraphed Mr.. COLLINS, il is time the
Pacific had arrived" Half an hour afterwards he
received reply, " she is now coming up the bay"
