NEWSPAPER PosTAoFs.-We haze heretofore
noticed that the House Committee on Post Offices
and Post Roads have prepared bill for the reduc-
tien and simpliGcation Of no Tspapcr hostages,
which provides that newspapers, pamphlets, & ,
not exceeding in weight two ounces aud half
shall be charged one cent for any distance under
two thousand miles; and IT nc wspapefs under one
ounce, one half cent the same dissa nces-postago
to be prepaid, or charged double these rates. This
Is something Of an improvement on the present ia.
comprehensive law of the Postmastor- tieperal,
which no man pretends TO understand We trust
that, before the expiration of tho session, such
a law will be framed and passed as will DO at
once cheap, just and impartial, and satisfactory to
all parties, and simple as possible The beauty Of
the letter postage Is i.s implicitly.

GENTLY extensive TO contain population of three
hundred thousand soulsv which it will in no very

The great excitement at presentin this State
is the Fair to come fiat Corpus Christi in May
next. The largest concourse of people ever
assembled in Texas will most certainly be
there. 1t comes off n very pleasant season
of the year, and would say to all persons who
have any wish to see this State, come then
without fail.
The season is opening finely, and farmers
are planting their corn with the prospect of n
rich harvest, which they will need to supply the
new emigrants.

rate IL thsr favor,
lhere could be found then, no fair considero
tlon Tor the additional tax demanded ON the pro-
auctions OF agriculture. The difficulty of set
Ting the details of such tax would he found 70
be most serious. To lay an assessment ON all
such products as may chance to be on hand an
the first day of February of each wear, rs tho
scheme proposed, or at any specified time, Mr..
SCOTT SAID, appeared to him to be simply alb
surd. Propinquity to market, or ready means
OF transportation, would enable the fortunate to
dlvest themselves of their crops before the visit
OF the commissioner, whilst the more distant and
less fortunate would be caught with theirs ON
hand.
But, MIR. ScoTT said he would not stop to
crItlcise the details of the scheme He denied
Its justice, and to that test he desired to bring
the question. The gentleman from Greenbrier
had hlnself appealed to Justice and now in a
spirit OF perfect fairness he desired to try conc-
sions with him.
Inc gentleman had stated that it was their
capacity to produce grass that gave value to the
lands OF the West, and it was their capacity to
produce the cereal crops that gave value to the
lands OF the East. The grass crops then bore
the same relation to the agriculture of the
West, that the cereal crops bore to that of the
East. One was turned into active capital by
ICING |o"' into cdttle, the other by being
vended In the markets. Could it be lust to tax
one and exempt the other? The tax on cat
tie would be no compensation for the exemption,
because into whatever subject the proceeds of
the grain or tobacco be converted, it is i'm turn
also taxable. If having eaten the grass, the cat
tie De sold, the crop is in that way marketed nj
once, or II they be retained for second or n
third year, the profit of each year is the growth
ct the animal, and stands invested as such until
a sale.
Ihls, said Mr. SCoTT, seemed to be the solu
ton OF the difficulty that had been propounded
and solved at once the problem under consider
alton. But if he were mistaken in this. it had
already been shown how much more than com
pensated, for any possible burthen of the cattle
tax, the West was in the results of the tax levied
on all the other species of property connected
with agriculture.

WILLIAM AND MARY CoLLEGE.-The Nor
folk Beacon says: SIT is great mistake to sup
pose that old William and Mary is going down.
1t is decidedly rising, and the indications are that
it will soon regain its former position. There
are now upwards of fifty students attending lee
lures, and the number would have been twenty
or thirty more had Judge Scarburgh opened his
law class this session He will do so next session,
when we have the best reason to believe that the
number of students will equal the average for
many years past, if it does not exceed it. The
fact is, a more able faculty cannot be pointed out
at the head ofany college in the country. We
trust that the people of Virginia, especially of
Eastern Virginia, will not be Indifferent to the
claims of old William and Mary.

A GAMBLER LYNCHEp-ScENr n. rur
MIssIssIPPI.-We learn that gambler of the
name OF Williamson suffered the penalties of
Lynch Law at Hickman few days since. at the
hands OF the passengers ofthe steamer St. Paul.
1t appears that party of returned Calfornians
started tor st. Louis on the boat from New Or
leans but as the boat was about leaving port DO.
lice officer came on board, and cautioned the pas-
sengers to beware of gamblers and pickpockets
during the trip, at the same time informing
them that several of the fraternity were on the
boat This made the Californians extremely
cautious, and wary Of the approaches of their
fellow passengers.
Some distance above Memphis, this man,
Williamson who had tried every means to in
gratiate himself with the Californians. and 6nd-
ing every project failed, attempted to induce one
OF the gold diggers to vista state room ii3(vb;cb
he said female disguised in male apparel was
concealed. This effortalso failed, but finally he
was persuaded to visit WIS state room to trv n
bottle OF fine brandy. He drank some of the
liquor, which almost Immediately made him
sick, and he rushed into the cabin CRYING ont
that he was poisoned.
ltappears that the liquor had been drugged
with morphine. The Californian, after his re-
covery from the effects of the drug. attemnted
to shoot Williamson with pistol, and pursued
him all over the boat. The Captain interfered.
and paclfled the passengers by telling them he
would set Williamson on shore the first con-
venient landing. The boat stopped at Hick-
man, and the passengers then took the law in
their own hands, and seizing their victim pro-
ceeded to the woods, tied him up to tree and
gave him sixty seven lashes on his bare back.
and turned him loose. Our informant states
that every blow brought the blood from the poor
wretch, whose screams could be heard mile.
The man who was thus summariy dealt with
was represented to be rather tall and eentee]lv
dressed with scar on the end of his nose. as
IT small piece had been taken off. This f1llv
answers the description of "Jef Williamson"
