LOCAL MATTERS.

REsroRATIoN.-We learn that Lieut.. B. J.
KELLUn, of this city, who was displaced from
the U. s. Revenue Marine service, by the re-
ducton in that department in lS49, has been
restored to his post by the Administration, and
received his commission yesterday. LII MEL
LUM, it will be recollected, rescued youth
who was caught in the falls Of James river by
a sudden rise OF the waters, some years ago,
which act of heroisn induced several gentle
men TO interest themselves in his behalf. He
was, for some months, afio.ded the opportuni-
ties of study in an excellent academy, and al
forwards was appointed, during President ~
LER's Administration, TO the revenue service.
The succeeding Administration found that SER
vice superabundantly supplied, as it thought
and ordered it to be reduced. The reduction
taking place among the youngest officers, Lit.
X. was among those who went out. We are
glad Of his reappointment. His fidelity to his
duties when formerly in the service entitled
him to it and we feel assured he will, by his
conduct, merit still more elevated mark Of
the confidence Of the government. All his old
friends, and all who know anything Of his he
roic conduct, will be gled to hear at any time
Of his promotion in the service of his country.
