Dead Letter Office

A correspondent Of the Baltimore Sun,
writing from Washington City, uuder date
Of October l5, gives the following account
Of the dead letter office, &c;
The operations OF the Finance Bureau Of
the General Post Office Department for the
current year disclose the fact of rapid in
crease in the business and Importance Of the
dead Letter office. III the first quarter Of
1852 the ndmber Of dead letters found bv

|, SAG letters, and $Sll,713.
In the quarter ended 3lst March, 1851
two years afterwards the number of valu.
able dead letters reached 2,323, containing
$14,40l The second quarter yielded 9,
487 letters, and Sl4,325 in money. We
have from the third quarter--ended 3Ott
September ast--2, 354 letters, in which
were found y 1888 in cash When it is
recollected that these do not embrace the
dead letters from foreign countries--whicl
are all returned unopened--the progress
of this branch Of governmental service il
more apparent.
Under the present prompt and eficien
administration, all dead letters so discover
ed are, from day to day, returned to the re
covering clerk. by whom they are duly reg
stered-the correspondence prepared, and
the whole transmitted by the outgoing mail.

should only take on! what she required for
her use while in prison. On doing SO, ra-
zor and strop fell out of bundle, and on
being told that she could not retain articles
SO useless to her, she begged piteously for
them, as the only thing lefther by her dear,
dead father" OF course, no humane Off
Ger OF the law could resist such plea, and
she was allowed to retain them.
AS soon as the arrest was made public,
with the news that her trunk had been found
filed with stolen goOls, the neighbors with
whom she associated came focking to the
house with all sorts of articles which they
had received from her as presents. Many
of the articles were recognized by the fam
i!y, bu: others were noS; but enough were
identified to render the guilt of the prison
er clear enough for jury.
Her trial came on, when her counsel ad-
yiscd her to plead guilty. This at first,
she refused to do, bat finally consented,
not, however until she had remained over
night in custody of the Under Sheriff at bis
house. lie persuaded her 80 this course,
and took SO much interest in her case that
very unkind suspicious found utterance;
how uojostly the sequel will show. In con-
siderltion of her plea of guilty, the Judge
was very mercifu!, and sentenced her to
three months in the Albany Penitentiary.
Here she arrived lew days ago, and the
worthy matroa received her kindly, intro
duced her to the female department and
from thence into the bathing room, from
whence series of loud screams for Mr.
PiIIsbury' were soon heard; and on his ap-
pearns, the matron bid her bushes, and
requested him to take that man away?--

compiled with this very reasonable request

closes frishtful catalogue of the ships mis-

no fewer than 48, which do not include the
losses Of the Madagascar, and the iI-fa!ei

upward of $50 unhappy creatures were lost.
OF the 40, Il large number were vessels

Cass and his Southern Assailants


We invite ii careful perusal of the article
OF the political orthodoxy Of Gen. C4ss against
a late oen: attact by the Richmond Enguj
rer. 1t has long been a matter Of surprise to
us, that any portion Of politicians OF the South
should cherish feelings of hostility to States
man whose public services were so pTe-emi-
nent as those of Gen Cass If Southern men
will not tolerate differences of opinion as %
the abstract question of slavery, and will
prescribe all Northern men who do no. con
cvde tha: the institution Is moral and SO.
cial blessing. there is Of necessity an end to
all fraterna relations between the free and
the sla7e States. Northern fanatics are
denounced with Justice by Southern men,
because they seek to interfere with the To-
cal Institutions of the South, thereby pro-
33ri ibint Southern men because they to,er-
ate slavery in their midst. With what sue
cess can Northern men be thus appealed to
against the aggressions of fanatlcSm, if
Southern men are equally tolerant towards
Northern men who believe slavery an evil,
but yet acknowledge and abide by the con,
stitutional guarantees which recognize and
protect it as lawful Institution? Those fra,
terna feelings on which alone the Union can
be perpeLuated, cannot be maintained un-
less Il spirit of fOrbearance and toIeration is
mutually cultivated between the North and
the South. The obligation i as strong
on Southern as on Northern men to cultivate
those sentiments; but such ,assauIts as the
Enquirer indHlges towards Gen. Cass are
wholly irreconcab)e with this necessary
snirit - IKnshiR0tpn WQion.

Ihe Cheap Lands.

Much excitement prevails AL over the
country, in reference to the government
lands now offered for sale under the Gradu'
alton Act passed by the last Congress. The
land Offices, where lands are to be had that
have been in market over ten years, are be-
sieged night and day. We are told that
people actually sleep on the door-sieps for
purpose of having their turn first in the NOR
ming. Farms are going Off like hot cakes,
at prices varying from twelve-and a-half
cents to one dollar an acre.
The following are the graduated prices
per acre at which the public lands can now
be bought. Lands that have been in mar
