of N. c., in Sixth Auditors Office, vice B.


J. Powell, of n. c., removed.
The above named appointees are, of
course, to be examined as to their qualifi-
cations for filling their respective places,
which are I'd class ($1,2O0) clerkships.
Mr. Powell, whose removal we notice
above, is Democrat. His removal prob
ably originated from something growing
out of the position assigned to him by
the Board of Examiners for the Sixth
Auditors office, with which he is said to
have been so much dissatisfied as to have
spoken his mind with great freedom.
His successor, Mr.. Ward, is the gentle
man who published the indignant CORES
pondence not long since in the Intelligent
Ger, in which he virtually declined the LIST
class clerkship awarded to him by the
examining board for the Land Office.
By-the-by, it is rare, indeed, to hear
unfavorable criticisms against the awards
of these boards. except from gentlemen
who conceive that they were entitled to
higher prizes than fell to their lot.
Alexander P. Willard has been ap-
pointed in the General Land Office, vice
J. D. Ward, resigned. Henry Kelly has
been appointed in the same ofice-both
to first class clerkships.
The PRESIDENTS TRIP.-The Chief
Magistrate of the United States, attended
only by Messrs. Guthrie, Davis. and
Cushing of his cabinet, and by Sidney
Webster, Esq, his private secretary, so
far as his immediate suit is concerned,
starts for the North at 81 p. m. of Monday
next.
DEPARTURE OF AMERICAN MINISTER'S
Col. Gadsden will leave New Orleans be-
tween the 25th inst. and the LIST proximo,
for Mexico. He is now in Charleston.
Governors Vroom and Seymour will not
start for Berlin and St. Petersburg for
some time to come, hardly until this fall,
we apprehend.
The Hon. Scion RorlaHd is now looked
for daily to arrive at Mobile, whence ne
will sail in the frigate Columbia, for Cen
trail America. The Columbia has been
awaiting his arrival for some time. His
delay will prove very unfortunate for his
comfort on the voyage, rs it hsss already
run him into the season Of violent storms
and protracted Gains in the Gulf OF Mex
leo. His voyage will probably occupy
forty, instead of ten days, which would
have been about the time, had he been
ready to eli. bark month sooner.
By-the-bye, his delay reminds us of the
fact, that when DR.. Crump, Of Va, went
out as Charge to South American coun-
try, some years since, on the frigate Po-
tomac, Captain Connor, he was caught in
the Gulf ct the wrong season after the
same fashion. Another venerable Charge
was also on board, and during terrific
three days gale, these two gentlemen lay
in cots, the doctor on the upper deck and
his companion below. Both were dread
fully sea-sick, of course, neither having
been at sea before. Some one inquiring
after the facetious doctors health Ola the
third morning of the gale, was answered
most lugubriously that he did not expect
to survive the day through. The attend
ant endeayored to soethe him with the
remark that as hard to besr as it was,
sea.sickness killed no one The doctor
groaned out, "Oh! what a id old fool
was to come here! How's the other
id old fei below 2"
The SAuLr ST MARIE LAND OFFICE is
in terrible confusion, which has been
growing ''worse confounded," we under
stand, ever since it's organization. We
learn that Joseph Wilson, Esq, the intel
ligeHt and efficient chief clerk of private
land claims in the General Land Office,
is now there by order Of the Secretary of
the Interior Department, engaged in an
euor. to straighten up matters, which
may occupy his attention. until septem-
Der next.
SENATOR BRADBURY, Of Maine, is with
us in Washington. We presume that he
come to attend to the all-important mat
ter of the distribution of the spoils to the
hungry in his State.
