out Of 5000 soldiers in the army, it is beiev-

the cause of men growing so Disguised with
the service? Is it the treatment they receive,
or are persons enlisted who are not fit to be
employed on any public duty?

The PIKEvILLE MAIL.-It affords US plea
sure to state that the Pikeyille mail, under
the able management of Nlr. Bird Panky,
continues to aH,ye and depart semi-occa-
sionally. The route Is nuisance to the
public as managed at present, and has been
for the last five years. We will regard it as
special favor If Col. Smith, the representa-
tive from this congressional district, will call
at the Department and enquire of the proper
officers whether the postmasters discharge
their duty by reporting the failures on that
line. If the contractor cannot make arrange
ments to have the mail carried with more
regularity, he should surrender his contract
and let some one have it who will attend to
it, and not require the whole community to
be injured, disobliged, and Inconvenience
that he may make hundred dollars or two
by the non-performance of his duty. 1t is
matter of surprise that bids below what
the service can be done for without loss
should be considered and entertained ut all,
as the head OF the postotilce department
must know, if he has even moderate share
of sense, that such bidders have no intention
of complying with the provisions of their
contracts. We have been injured in our bu.
siness to the extent of two hundred dollars
a year for the last five years, by the miserable
manner in which the service on the Pikeville
route has been performed, and we are get
ting rather tired of il.

FROM WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON, July II.

WASHINGTON, July II.
The President, it is believed, is not found
to be so facile, in regard to some important
measures before Congress, as was expected.
Some of his friends assume to be authorized
to say that he will veto the Homestead bill
and the River and Harbor bill. The assertion
is made by those who are opposed TO both.
The Senate is slow in coming to conclu-
sion upon the Homestead Bill. The original
House Bill cannot pass, that is certain. But
Mr.. Hunters substitute may be adopted. Mr..
Hunters project has been under discussion
to-day. Mr.. Clayton's amendment striking
out the 9th section, extending the privileges
of the bill to aliens, was negatived to-day
But it Is now proposed to engraft upon the
bill, the chief provisions of Mr.. Hunters sub
stitute. The graduation of the price of the
public lands, is one of the features of this
project. Mr.. Hunter proposes a system of
graduation from dollar and twenty-five cents
an acre, to seventy-fve cents. Mr.. Bradford
Of Pennsylvania, moved to substitute for the
minimum fifty cents. The course of remark
on this subject was very interesting. Mr..
Bells speech was very excellent, showing the
folly and the anti-Americanism of the whole
scheme-that able bodied true native Ameri.
cans looked not to the Government for grants
of lands, though it might be proper to make
provisions for the INDECENT insane, for old
soldiers and seamen, and for the families OF
those who may have rendered special services
to their country.
Bounties and gratuites should be sparingly
granted, and one not often asked for under n
republican government,
To any independent American citizen, the
offer of l60 acres of land, upon the ground
that he is pauper, would be an insult
Americans ask nothing of this government
but equality in everything, But certain poll
tcians, installing American views and inter-
ests, propose to treat the people as their own
peculiar benefciares. | will undertake to
say that whatever the Homestead Bill may
effect for alien paupers, no American will ever
accept IFS benefits.
But the Bill is hardly likely to pass in any
shape exceptionabe to public sentiment, and
should it so pass, the President ought to veto
it, and some say to-day, that he has got the
stuff to do it, quiet as he keeps it.

eB" A gentleman from !.oudon informed
us, on Wednesday last, that the reports
which had attained circulation that the ply
sicians were among the first to flee from Lou
don upon the occasion of the late panic at
that place, were incorrect and groundless.-
We heard the matter spoken of several times,
and it was our duty to allude to it, as we did
last week, that the parties implicated might
know such reports were in circulation, and if
untrue, have them contradcted. We pre-

Inotice in the last Athens Post, n little

other physicians of this place. The Editor
says it is rumored that the physicians, with
one exception, were the first to flee
Iwish simply to say through your columns
that every physician in Loudon without "one
exception" was Mt his post and did his whole
duty. Furthermore, have not heard any
physician say he was the least apprehensive,
or manifested in any way the least symptom
of alarm. Again, notice in the Cleveland
Banner n report that there were eight or ten
deaths from Cholera on Monday. There
never have, as | now remember or believe,
been more than two or three deaths of any
disease, at any time since Loudon has been
named. For the last four days, including to.
day, (Saturday,) We have not had single
case even resembling cholera. We have bill
ious darrhea, dyscntery and some scarlitina
among us yet, and some of those rather ma

pie, panic stricken, have deserted the town.
Chattanooga Gazette.
You're wrong, Mr.. Parharm-the "truth Of
history" does not require you to make any
such unwilling sacrifice. The physician who
first reported cholera at Loudon, also stated
that the disease was "frst brought to that
vicinity by the steamboat Loudon from Chat
tanooga, three deaths having occurred on
her last trip thence to the landing at Loudon.
We believe the gentleman was mistaken in
both spacts, but if correct in the first, in
regard to the character of the disease, his
opinion as to how it got there is entitled to
some weight Now just put that in your
pipe and smoke it awhile before you make
any more sacrifices to the 'truth of history"
