Interesting Incident.

The following incident connected with the re-
cent trip OF the President to the Virginia springs,
has been furnished by friend for publication:
Six miles northwest of Staunton, on the stage

though trembling under the weight of years and
disease he had attended carefully passing events
connected with the political condition of the coun-
try. Always a warm friend of the Secretary of tho
Interior, he had requested him through friend to
call with the President at his cottage in West View,
on their passage to the springs. AS might have
been expected, the request was courteously COM

Posr OrrIcn DrpAnrMrsr, Auguat

PosT OFFICE DEPARTMENT, August, 1851.
1t s represented to the Department that the prac-
ticc of handing letters to the Mail Agents, or de,
posting them in the drop pouches or boxes of the
cars or steamboats,, instead of putting them in the
Post Office, has increased to such extent that it
is not possible for the agents to assort and mail
them carefully. Letters are often forced into the
pouches, and many prepayment stamps, such as
not put on with proper care, are thus rubbed
off
Persons sending off letters papers there
fore advised to place them in the Post Office in
order to their prompt and safe transmission
When the community is aware that letters for
warded in the manner alluded to liable, from
the causes mentioned, TO delay and loss of stamps
placed them, il is hoped that the practice will be
discontinued, except in of emergency, and
that mail matter will be deposited in the Post Office
for transmission.
The privilege of putting late letters in the drop
pouches, or sending them by the mail agents, was
intended only for cases of exigency, which few
in number; and not that any considerable portion
of the mail should be thrown upon the travelling
agent to assert and arrange for transmission.
Should this notice be disregarded, and the en-
barrassment of the mail agents be still continued,
it will become necessary to forbid their reception of
any matter except what is regularly received from
the Post Offices at intermediate points on their
route, TO instruct them to deposit such mail mat
ter in the Post Office, when delay of twenty four
hours will necessarily be caused

AN lNeENIoUs Lock One of the curiositics
which the Americans have sent TO the Worlds
Fair is lock, which can neither be picked nor de-

Of Mr.. II. e. Jones, Of Newark, New Jersey. IL
has no keyhole, in which powder can be inserted,
and is SO mechanically arranged that, while the
person who sets il can easily open il with few
turns, any other person would encounter about
eight hundred thousand chccks TO overcome before
he could get the proper key to it's opening. IL is
most ingenious contrivance, and perfect secu-
rity. One OF these locks has been placed in the
Crystal Palace, in which 5000 is locked up, TO be
should open it, and who has the keys furnished
him. letter from London states that forty-hvc
days have elapsed, and nobody yet had succeeded
in getting inside the safe which contained the mo-
ney. Such security is invaluable TO banks and
counting houses. The only part OF the lock which
is visible is solid iron, three or four inches
thick, which would bother the burglar TO Pone-

A p.Iuabie Hit.

The Bath (Maine) Tribune, in commenting on
the proceedings of the late Convention of the Goa
litonists in Massachusetts,, observes with more
truth than poetry:
s'Thc doings of this convention reads very inn
portant lesson upon the character of the sefstyed
Democracy. 1t shows us that they the crca-
lures of circumstances, seeking for power--that
different portions of the same party will endorse
into office. In Maine they are at present pretty
generally Union men. In Massachusetts, there ia
majority of them ready to join with the abolition
lists. In the South they almost all secessioniss.
Last year, when there Office TO fill, the De-
mocracy of Maine were just as good abohtonissx
as their brethren of Massachusetts arc to day. If
there was Senator to be chosen amongst us, there
would not be the slightest difficulty in finding
Democra; who could unite the Democrats and ABB
otionsts of Maine OH good National Abolition
