ways been an intense repugnance On both
sides, each toward tho other. Such is our
Judgment, from an intimate knowledge Of all
concerned, and their relations toward each
other, public and private.
As for his making abolition speeches in the
North, or delivering anti slavery lectures, the
idea is 30 preposterous as that its publication
in the Post will doubtless greatly incense him.
The General Houston referred to must be some
body else of that name and title as vet
unknown to fame. 7--.
The Few York Nominations Daniel Uhl-
man, Esq, the telegraph tells us, has been
nominated for Governor Of New York by the
Know Nothing State convention, in session
yesterday in New York city. Mr.. U. is a
gentleman of character, and deservedly q
leading Silver Gray Wing OF late he has been
a staunch supporter Of the new anti C atholic
and anti foreigner party. For some years
past he has been candidate, though always
unsuccessful, before various Wing nominating
conventions. 1t can hardly be that he will
fail to receive the support of the Know Moth
ings with great unanimity.
Those nominating Mr.. Wheeler, were, doubt
less, only portion Of the Hards, his personal
friends. 1t was known here yesterday that tho
Hard Congressional Convention in his district
was decidedly--the majority-against him.
Walsh has received q denomination of the
Hards in his district, and Mr.. Walker one from
the Softs.
ACaution to Land Officers We understand
that some of the Registers at land offices are
under the impression that they are entitled to
fee of $500 for each entry, under the law
graduating the price of the public lands. This
is mistake, no such fee is chargeable by
| them. We have also to add that there is a
clause in a recent law passed by Congress,
making it obligatory on the Secretary of the
Interior, to turn cut of Office any land officer
who who shall take an illegal fee. A word to
| the wise will be sufficient at least, by way of
| warning all those who know aught of the Sec.
| rotary, personally. We understand further,
| that he ia preparing circular on this point.
Turtle Harbor G. A. Craven, U. S.
N, an assistant on the U. S. Coast Survey, has
/ recently made photographic survey of Tur-
| tie Harbor, in the Florida reefs, which has
just been mapped at the Coast Survey Office
| The result Of the labols of the Lieutenant and
| his party in that quarter, cannot fail to be Of
great advantage to those navigating the ada.
cent portion of the gulf.

The Governorship Of Oregon-It seems to
US that the Secretary of Territory of Oregon,
- Curry, Esq, stands the fairest chance of
being appointed to succeed Gov. John w. Da-
Wis, resigned. We come to this conclusion
from various signs in the official horizon, such
| as We have been long accustomed to form
opinions on, which usually prove correct !;
thong it is impossible, as it were, to desert be
them 80 as to make themselves understood by
tho outside world

Not long since it was said in naval circles
here that this officer had been ordered to the
John Adams. So We go!
