SATURDAY MORNING. JULY 9, 1853.
aJ-We are gratifed TO learn that our gallant and
talented friend, Col. JoHa S. CUNuNaHAM, has
been appointed Corresponding Clerk Of the Navy
Department, at salaryof 81, 500. This isan inn
portant and honorable post, and a gentleman, of
naked ability and excellent qualifications for the
position hiss been selected,
.TThe Washington Republic appeared on
Wednesday in a new dress and reduced form, bear
ing very neat appearance, and breathing very
sprightly tone. In politics, lit goes upon its 'own
hook, that is, according TO its announcement, it
is independent.
E5Mr. Geo. F. Nesbtt, the manufacturer of the
new Post Office stamped envelopes, seemed to
think that he had hit upon stnpendous plan of
advertising his business at very small cost. On
each OF the envelopes, at the point where it is
sealed, he stamped conspicuously his name and
location But as soon as they were issued there
was an outcry against the Government for becom-
ing the Observation-Disclosures of Nesbitt as all who
purchased and used one ofthese envelopes would
necessarily advertise for him, whether they wished
TODD so or not. This complaint, at first view, APP
pears rather frivilons, and we suppose was COM
the whole. isiust enough. The Government paid
Mr.. Nesbitt for his work, and paid him well too,
and he has right to injure the sale of the arti-
Gle by putting any mark OF device upon it obiec-
tionable to any class of community. If he wish
es to be advertised throughout the Union, and in
everypart of the world where Uncle Sans mails
are carried he, ought to pay for it as Barnnm has
done.
We perceive that the Department has given Mr..
Nesbitt notice that no more envelopes with his
card upon them will be received, and Mr.. Nesbitt
has asked permission to withdraw his name from
all he may issue hereafter. We presume that this
permission will not be at all difficult TO obtain, as
the Department, iii said, never grantetit 1t is
rather pity That his grand scheme of advertising
has failed, though he ought to be contented with
the notoriety he has already obtained, and hereaf
ter pay the papers well for advertising him.
