WAsH1NGToN CRY, July 20, 1858.

WASHINGTON CRY, July 90, 1853
Our foreign relations are not without en-
barrassment. The fishery question between this
country and Great Britain is still unsettled and the
British minister, Mr. Champion, has recently return
ed from Halifax, whittier he had gone to advise with
Sir F. Seymour the admiral of the British fleet, sta
toned there for the protection of British fishermen
You remember that our treaty stipulation is not to
fish acithin three miles of tile Shore The British
statesmen have construed the shore to not that
indented line which nature has made along the coast
but to mean an imaginary line drawn from headland
to headland which of course would exclude entirely
our fishermen from all the large bays in that region
Of course we have never allowed so absurd con-
sruction and our ministers at London have protested
against it from time to time. The British govern
ment has not as yet enforced this construction but
they have never yielded it. and have recently sent
large feet into those waters. Our government, to
assure fishermen of the protection of our gov
ernment have ordered feet to be sent to the same
station. The matter stands in this rather cr1tl-
cal position. / am therefore, the more pleased to
learn that Mr. Buchanan has finally consented to &C
cept the mission to England The country will feel
that her interest and her honor are In safe hands 1t
no doubt this weghty consideration which has IN
duced this great American statesman to torego MS
private Wishes and accept the heavy responsibility
OF this most important mission.
am glad to you take such bold ground against
land distribution and expose those who would hum
bug the people by making them believe that North
Carolina does not get her equal share of the public
lands, when those lands are applied according to
Democratic principles and Democratic Platforms that
is, to pay the public debt and defay the necessary
expenses of the government. This is the onl y way
IN which she ever has will get her equal share
of the public domain. Benefits land bill and every
other distribution landbil has been an insult to the
just and equal rights of the old States North Caro-
lima included. Take my word for it whenever the
present land system which has received the appro-
baton of every administration is changed it will be
the beginning of the end ky

A Mai. RoBBER DETECTED. On Friday the 22d
inst, young man named VIM Tinnin was arrested
in this place and committed to jail, charge of
robbing the mail The circumstance which led to
his arrest was, that he offered to pass check the
Greensborough Branch of the Bank of Cape Fear
the Branch here for $203 10, without the endorse
ment of the payees here, and when he could not
coed in that he presented it to those payees for their
endorsement. 1t at once identified as check
which had been RENTED from Graham in Alamance
county, the 30th of May last and not before heard
Of 1t appeared on the examination of Tinnin, that
he is Clerk to John Balm, Postmaster at Green
sometimes opens the mail and sometimes Balm opens
it. His commitment followed of course.
This is probably a most important discovery, as the
robberies of the mail between Greensborough and
Raleigh have been very numerous for the last few
months. Fayetteville Observer.
The prisoner was examined before Judge Potter,
and was offered bail in the sum of $250l But the
day after his committal, the bail was increased to
$1,000. When we recollect the numerous depreda-
tons of this kind recently committed, we consider
the amount of bail offered entirely too small There
has been large amount of money stolen from the
mails in this State within the last II months.
p. S.-We understand that Tinnin was brought
out on Thursday, and examined on one or two other
charges of the same kind The Postmaster at Ora
ham, Mr.. Scott was in attendance as witness. A
trunk belonging to Iinnin having been opened, sew
eral letters were found which had been purloined
from the mails, and when shown to the prisoner he
acknowledged having seen them BEFORE and stated
that it his intention to have forwarded them to
their owners. A fifty dollar bill was found in the
vest collar of the prisoner and identified having
been mailed with the draft above mentioned for this
place. Fayetteville Carolinian.

Revolutionary Documents.
u. J. DEHAY, G. S.

a recent examination of the papers OF
Gen. King, left in his old mansion-house
at Ihomaston, Me-, has brought to light a
mass OF interesting aud valuable revolu-
tlonary documents, which have never been
made public. General Knox, as is well
known, was honored with the special
friendship and confidence of Washington.
who kept up with him frequent and
iamli'ar correspondence for many years.
VI the fruits Of this correspondence, more
than fifty Of Washington's letters have
now, for the first time, been discovered. in
which the various details Of bis private
life, rs well as the great affairs Of the na-
ton, are freely noticed. Besides these,
there are proportionate number of let
ters from Lafayette, Baron Steuben, Lord
Sterling, Generals Lincoln, Greene, Wayne,
Heath, and Gates, Major Shaw, and 9th.
e., er distinguished revolutionary heroes
These letters, though they have lain A.
mong the rubbish Of the attic, in the old
mansion-house, for half century, are
generally in good state of preservation
and perfectly legible, and may yet prove
OF essential value to the biographer and
historian.
We may add, that besides the mass of
letters alluded to above, many other inter
estlng documents were discovered among
"en. knoS's old papers; for example, what
appears to have been the originai draft of
the articles OF capitulation Of Cornwall;s
at Yorktown, containing the original sig
natures OF Cornwallis, as commander Of
the land forces, and Thomas Symonds, as
commander Of the British Naval forces in
York river.-Boston Traveller.
