Our Courtesy vindlcated.

The Union complains that we " assaied il
in coarse terms for abiding to an anecdote
relating to Mr.. CoRwIN."
To this charge we must plead not guilty.
We regarded it fair game on the part of our an
tagonist. We were pleased to perceive that, in
the absence of serious objections to the Admin
istration, it was condemned merely because of
stringent official regulation. We were
amused to see how the clerks were conform
ing to the Jeffersonian era, when we are told
that " few died, and none resigned"
When our sleepless contemporary pro-
claimed the absent members of the Cabinet,
we were pleased to see that Wing depart
ments, like well-adjusted chronometers, would
run without daily regulation, and that they did
not, like a hurdy gurdy, require some hand per-
petually upon the crank.
We felt, moreover, that the Departments
were responsible to the people and to the re-
representatives. of the people for the manner in
which their official trusts had been fulfilled.
As for the imputatiop of having assailed the
Union in s'coarse terms, we have to say that
we use no such language. We do not consider
that force of language consists in violence of
speech. We do not rely upon bitter epithets as a
substitute for sound argument, nor would we be
willing to divide the merit of wit, if we pos
sessed it, with the terms of coarse opprobrium
employed to express it,

In q communication dated the 10th, the Gov
ernor Commandant General states that public
tranquility continues undisturbed, without any
change having been effected, in the usual state of
things, by a few imprudent youths, who insti-
gated by emissaries recently arrived from the Uni.
ted States. His excellency adds that they have
already been greatly undeceived, all those will
be who may dream of exciting insurrections in
this quiet country, on discovering their want of
power and the confidence and security of the gov
eminent, which, without making an unnecessary
display Of it's strength and other resources has, by
the mere aid of twenty horsemen, broken up the
meagre plans of few deluded individuals, who,
after many years of labor in circulating procla-
nations, and after employing every imaginable
means of seduction in the sphere where they exer-
cised any influence, in order TO stimulate the young
men of Puerto Principe, have not succeeded in re-
tanning single man. the government having been
informed beforehand of all their doings by the
very men whom they had sought to seduce.

again at 7 o'clock. The scenery Of the Alleganies,

SALT LAKE MAIL.-This mail, under the charge
of Mr. Jarvis Streeter, arrived here on the 9th
utimo, having left Great Salt Lake city on the Ist
He reached Salt Lake with the May mail on the
2Sth OF that month On his way in he was de-
tanned four days on account of sickness of one of
his hands, thus making the trip in twenty three
travelling days, certainly an extraordinary short
space OF time for such trip.
Business in the Valley was remarkably dull on
account of the great scarcity of money. II is
thought that the merchants trading there will do
bad business this season; for although there is
demand for goods, there no funds with which
to purchase
Met the train of Phelps & Chiles twenty five
miles this side of Salt Lake, being long way in
advance of any other traders. Met Cogswell two
hundred miles this side Fort Bridges getting along
well; on the 9Th and 9th met Holiday and War
ner's train near Independence Rock; on the 18th,
met Livingston and Kincaid's train on La Bouta
river; met two trains of Holiday s, Co. at Kear-
ney; met Waldo Mccoy rs train, under charge
OF Cummings, at Little Blue on the 22d.
From reef5 river met large nu,nbera Of cini-

but some for California. Met DR.. Toland & Co.,

The Immigrants were getting on rcmar kably well ;

From the Neto Orleans Bee, July II.

We publish with unfeigned qualification the an
nexed card from /. n. Marks, esq, announcing his
withdrawal a candidate for Congress in the sec
ond district. Mr.. Marks has acted in the spirit of
devotion and self-sacrhce which becomes an ar
dent and dsinterested Wing. We understand that
Col. t. G. Hunt, actuated by the same manly and
honorable motives, contemplates a similar course.
1t will be perceived, from the announcement in
another column, that the friends of Alexander C.
Bullitt have presented him candidate, subject
to the decision of Wing convention. This is
name that will remove every lingering feeling of
bitterness from the minds of the party, and unite
tho whigs TO man throughout the district

TIE SPANISH WAR STEAMER PIzARRo Ii
BELLED.-As the Spanish steamer Pizarro,
lying at anchor, was getting up steam on Monday
by Deputy Marshal De Angels, on a claim for two
hundred and fifty dollars, on behalf of the owners
of the schooner Thomas OConnor, which vessel
was injured in collision Mt the Narrows by the
Pizarro in coming in. The officer went on board
at one O'Clock and served the process. The cap
tain Of the Pizarro, il is said, told the officer that
he was bound to sea, and he would go, but the Off
Ger told him he could not and also notified the pilot
that he must not take the vessel out. The matter
was adjusted by parties shore about five O'clock
and the arrest withdrawn, and the steamer sailed
shortly after.-Neto York Express, 23d

RETURN OF Nh. HoBBIE.-Mr S. r. Hobbie, late
Assistant Postmaster General, who has been enga-
ged for some time past in effectng improved postal
arrangements on the route to California, returned
home in the Crescent City. Previous to the nego-
tiations by Mr. Hobbie, no arrangement had been
made to enable letters mailed either in this coun-
try, or in England. to pass through Havana with
out the Intervention of correspondent at that
place, and the same state of things existed on the
lsthmus. The party must write to a correspond
ent at Havana, at Panama. to get his letter sent
thence to its ultimate destination
The captain general of Cuba declined to enter
into any agreement on the subject, but Mr.. Hobbie
succeeded in effecting an understanding with the
British consul at Havana, by which the American
consul there ia constituted postal agent, and un-
der certain regulations for paying the postage
to the country which may be entitled to it, letters
can now pass through Havana readily as from
one State to another. similar arrangement has
bsen concluded with the British consul at Panama,
affording every facility for correspondence with
persons in the Southern Pacific well as in Cali
fornia. Mr.. Hobbie also reorganzed portion of
the mail service in California. Daily nails have
been established between San Francisco and Sacra-
mento, San Francisco and San Jose, and Sacra-

ton, the appointment of receiver, and an allow
ance in the nature of alimony, expenses of litga.
ton, &c. 1t appeared from the reading of the Pc

between that period and S45, paid several visits to
the United States, where she had desired perma-
nently to reside, and had also visited Scotland,
where valuable property had fallen to her as heir
at law. She had, about this time, changed funds
vested in her own name to that of her husba nd !,
trusting in his honor; and the bill charged that
portion of this property had been sold by w. p.

''Thc Presidents message, at the opening of the
present session of Congress, expresses fully and
'plainly his own and the unanimous opinion of all
those associated with him in the Executive admin
istraton of the Government, in regard to what
'are called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-
sures of last session. That opinioni is, that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
a finalsettlement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from imperfections, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connection, they formed
. a system of compromise the most conciliatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interest and
Opinions, and that therefore they should be ad-
shered to, until time and experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further legislation to
sguard against evasion or abuse. Thatopinion, SO
: far as know, remains entirely unchanged, and
& will be acted upon steadily and decisively. The
peace ofthe country requires this; the security OF
the Constitution requires this; and eyeryconside-
ration of the public good demands this. If the
Administration cannot stand upon the principles
