The MOBILE PosT OYF1cE.-Nedrly t,eenty
thousand Dollars Dedication Last week, a
painful rumor prevailed IN the City of Mobile,
to the effect that there was large deficit in the
amount due from the deputy post-office at Mo-
bile to the General Post-office at Washington.
1t was known that special agent ofthe Depar :
ment was in the city, investigating matters in
the post-ofice and the fact of a defalcatiou
was made no longer doubtful by he arrest of
Mr.. SANDS, the chief clerk, at the instance of
Mr.. BEERS, the postmaster.
Mr.. SANDS was brought bcfol the U. S. Com
missioner, B. B. BREEDEN, Esq, and an inves-
tigation was commenced. The testimony of E.
H. METcALFE, the Departments special agent,
proved a deficit in the funds ofthe Mobile post
office to the amount Of ST., 800 90. The other
testimony, so far as we have read. which is to
the close of the third days examination, is very
indefinite, tending directly to the implication
of no one, and leaving it entirely a doubt
whether the missing funds were embezzled by
any officer in the emplay of the Department, or
whether they were distracted from the 'strong
box" by the adroitness Of some dexterous
rogue. As for ouIself. we cannot believe, unless
upon point blank proof. that Mr. BEERS, the
Postmaster, was principal, or had any compile
ity in the dishonest and faithless transaction
Nor can we think yet that his chief clerk is
guilty at all events, be is not in the least GRIM
inlted blythe evidence Clarion
The Yazoo Democrat., 1853-03-09

At this time the people, not only Of this State
but of the whole Union, are excited upon the
subject of railroads. Congress has been engross-
ed by that subject for the last six weeks. North
and South East and West-all are earnestly EN-
gagged in rail road projects and schemes. to an
endless extent, as the newspapers daily show
The contemplated road from Jackson to Holly
Springs, is creating quite breeze along the sur
posed route OF this road.
1t is somewhat amusing to see the many spec
ulations and chickering's going on among the con-
tending sections for supremacy. Some of the
favorite routes have been pronounced impracti-
cable, BY the Engineer. This has brought scores
o: sensures upon his head. We have no doubt
that the interests of the State at large. and par
ticularly the central portion, demand that this
road should be speedily completed. But while
all this is going on it stands the citizens of va
zoo in hsnd to be up, and doing. Let them not
wait for the completion of that road, to their
Tuin; for, unless something be done to prevent
the diversion of trade from this point. when that
road is complete-it will have sad effect upon
our now flourishing city. Then it will be too
late to admit of a remedy. Now is the time 10
do the work.
