A PAraIorIc AND LIBERAL OFFER.
The Louisville Journal says that one of
the dsunion papels of South Carolina,
makes a very furious annunciation that
"John W. Wright, notorious Free
Soiler, has been elected Mayor of Log
ansport, Ind" Mr.. Wright, after due
reflection upon the subject, has author
lied the Editor of the Indiana Sentinel
to announce that if South Carolina will
abandon her mad projects Of disunion,
and ohligate herself to talk no more
about secession, he will for the purpose
of quoting the South Carolina mind,
resign the Mayorship of Logansport.
So .we may expect compromise be-
tween South Carolina and Logansport.
All true patriots may rejoice. t"Grim-
visaged war" will smooth his wrinkled
front"

$50 FROM HOWE TO HEAR THE News"
In the Elkton correspondence Of The
.Ncm York Ereaing Post we find the
following items:
The locusts are up in swarms, and
are making the wooks ring with their
wild monotonous music. notice the
squirrels are more numerous this season
than they have been for several years.
They are no doubt attracted from other
parts Of the country by the Jocusts, of
which they appear to be very fond. In
deed the poor locusts appear to be DOOM
ed to suffer, for The birds and squirrels
both have particular liking for their
flesh.
The wheat and grass fields through
the county look more than usually
promising. The corn and oats crop, in
consequence of the GOODNESS fthe sea-
son, are rather backward. Cherries
are abundant. There may be perhaps
half a yield Of peaches; but the apple
crop will be perfect failure"
ORTHopox AND HIcKslTEs. 1t will be
recollected by most readers that several
years there was a division between the
great body of "Friends. THE one or
ganized under the title of Orthodox; the
other took the name of Hicksites. At
that time, and at the present, the great
bulk of church property was retained by
the Hicksites, and the other party erect
ed new buildings. Recently, if we are
correctly advised, the Hicksites have
proposed division of the property,
and last week, at their meeting, com
mlttee was appointed to make the nee
essary arrangements. The fact is high
~ creditable to the two branches of the

The RECENT EXECUTION IN HAvANA.-A
letter from Havana, of the lst inst, in the New
York Express, gives the following particulars rea-
there:
"a Spanish subject native of the Canary Islands,
named Oca, accused OF employing pilots for the
Lopez expedition, has been condemned, and sut-
fered death by the "garo.e," on the morning OF
the 2Sth ut
1t seems that Oca offered one OF the coast pilots
a sum of money to join the expedition. The pilot
applied to friend of his Creole, for advice the
Creole Immediately informed the Captain General
Of the fact Oca was arrested and confessed that
he was in the employ of Lopez, for the purpose OF
furnishing pilots for the vessels Of the expedition,
and had already sent three to NewOrleans. He
was Immediately condemned and executed. His
brother was imprs ned in the Cabanos, yesterday.
This, probably, is but the commencement OF a Sc
res OF judicial murders, which will only have the
effect OF hurrying a people to open rebellion who
are already ripe for revolt. Lopez is hourly ex-
pected and it is stated that rooms have been pre-
pared in the Cabanos Fortress for The family OF the
Captain General, he intending to take the field
against the invaders Every preparation has been
made to guard against surprise. The fishing
boats on the coast have been called in, and senti-
nels have been posted along the shores, and in
every small town and place on the Island. Rail
road trains and steamboats, kept in readiness
transport troops, should it be necessary to do so
Expresses are constantly going to and fro, which
serve to keep the people in the interior in fever
ish state oi excitement and alarm"
The letter also says that every American in Ha.
vana is looked upon with suspicion, and urges the
necessity OF the Government keeping man of wal
stationed there for their protection, until this afaii
is finally settled.

The Post-ofice Department,

We understand that The receipts of the Post-ofice
Department, fer the quarter ending'on the 3lst De.
cember, 1850, amounted to 81, ,53l, ,495 9S, showing
an increase Of $24l 1897 So, about Is 7. 10 per
cent over the corresponding quarter of the previ-
GUS year. eG
The quarter ending on the Both September, 1850,
also showed an increase of more than II per cent
on the corresponding quarter of the previous yea
and it is probable that the increase for the fiscal
year, ending the Both of June next, over the re-.
cepls of the preceding year, will be II or Is per
cent
These results are extremely gratifying. The in
crease is much beyond The estimate made by the
Postmaster General in his last annual report, and
much beyond the usual increase from year to year.
The increase for the year ending on the Both Juna,
1850, was l4b per cent stated in the last annual
report from the Department; and the increase for
the three previous years, as stated in the annual
report made by Postmaster General Collamer, in
