MAJOR WYSE.

We clip the following sketch of Major
Wyse, who is now under arrest at New
York, for disobeying orders in not going
to sea in the steamer Falcon, because he
deemed her unseaworthy, from New
York paper:
Major Wyse was born in Deer Park, in
Baltimore county, Maryland, and gradu.
Hted in 1887 at West Point. His first
appointment was to post in Florida,
where he was engaged in active service
against the Seminole Indians, who were
then at war with the United States
When peace was restored he was still
kept in Florida, where he was actively
employed until the commencement of the
Mexican war, when his regiment was
ordered to Tampico. While here he was
engaged in the rescue of the Encarnacion
prisoners, among whom was Major Bor-
land, our present Minister in Central
America. The whole party by which this
feat was accomplished did not exceed one
hundred and thirty men, while the Mexi-
cans numbered from twelve to fifteen
hundred. For three days this gallant
little band contended against such over
whelming odds, until they succeeded in
reaching Tampico, not, however, without
the loss of some of it's bravest members.
On this occasion they piled their only
cannon with terrible effect upon the Mexi-
cans; but their grapeshot having been ex-
pended, they gathered lead from some OF
the public buildings and converted it into
bullets, then putting these into empty
champagne bottles they loaded them, and
fired into the enemy with terrible effect.
The bravery of Captain Wyse on this &C.
casion obtained for him the title of Brevet
Major. He served throughout the whole
war with distinction, and has since its
close been actively employed. At the
time of the shipwreck Of San Francisco
he was on his way to California.
MORMON PENALr1Es.-The Desere,
News has the following Characteristic ex.
hibit of Mormon notions of retributive
justice:
cit is too well known to need repeat.
ing that if son of Belial should defame
one Of our fair wives OF daughters, he mus,
pay the forfeit, without judge or jury, in
the most public place; and he must ge,
his recompense for the loss of his heart s
blood where he can find it, which will be
in Tophet."

| not situated upon any road that has been
made mail route by act of Congress, and for
| the supply of which the Postmaster General
cannot legally pay beyond the amount of the
net proceeds Of the particular office. When
| ever it may happen that special Office is To-
Gated in a torn or riitage, (and we fancy that
there are not fifty such cases in all the States J
the net proceeds of the Office will always pay
much more than the price agreed on for the
| supply of Office.
Special post Offices are, in almost all cases,
located off public roads-in all cases off roads
proclaimed by Congress to be post roads-for
the supply of from two to q dozen families
with the mails. The contractors to supply
them are always persons especially accommo-
dated by the location of the particular Office.
When special Office is applied for, it is never
established unless those interested in its estab-
lishment will procure contractor to supply
| it for the net proceeds of the Office, if they
fail to reach his contract price. Some one
who drives wood or lumber wagon, or some
thing Of the sort, weekly or daily, between the
| special Office and the nearest Office on O regu-
lar mail route, is usually the contractor for
supplying special Office, which, in fact, is but
sort of sub post Office for the accommodation
| of handful of persons located 50 scout of the
| way" as to make it inconvenient for them to
get their mail matter from an Office situated
| on public post road. The kaw makes it OBJ
| ligatory on the Postmaster General to pay no
more for the supply Of special Offices than the
net proceeds of each. 1t is no new law, hav-
ing existed from the foundation of the Depart
| ment, we believe and it has been administered
quite as long, precisely, as the Postmaster Gen
orally proposes to carry it out in the instruc-
| tons" which induce Bennett to proclaim the
approaching ruination Of the West through the
parsimony of the present shocking National
Administration.
Way Letters can only be Prepaid by using
Postage Stamps or Stamped Envelopes-It is
the duty of postmasters to treat way-letters
marked paid" which do not have on them a
postage stamp, as unpaid letters, as no route
agent is permitted to receive prepayment in
money on letter.
