INTERESTING TO RIVER MEN.-We take
the following from the Was hington Union:
Delivery OF LETTERS AND PACKAGES
The masters of steamboats, under contract
with the department are required to deliver
into the post Offices. Cor to the local agent OF
the department, if there be any, at the pla-
ces at which they arrive, all letters received
by them, or by any person employed in their
boats, et any point along the route. Masters
and managers of all. other steamboats, are re-
quired by law, under penalty of thirty dollars,
to deliver all letters brought by them, or
within their Care or power, addressed to, o.
destined for the places at which they arrive,
to the Postrdasters, except letters relating to
some part of the cargo. Postage is charged
on all letters not addressed to persons to
whom the CARGO or any part Of it, is con-
signed.
All letters conveyed BY steasimb oats, pack
cts, or other vessels, relating to the cargo,
are required to be unsealed. If sealed, they
must be delivered to the post-ofice to be
charged with postage. If on being opened
in the presence of the postmaster, they are
found to relate to the cargo, the postage may
be RENTED. The law relating to this sub
ject is often violated. Postmasters are re g.
CURED to prosecute for penalty in all cases
where they can obtain testimony.

OTIt seems that President Pierce is not
popular even among the Squatter Sover-
eigns of the Kansas Legislature. A cores
pendent Of the Mo. Republican, writing from
"the Mission" on the 18th says: "This af-
ternoon, sharp debate sprung up about
naming county Pierce, in which the Presi-
dent got fits. Some thought it disgrace;
others that it was springing old party issues
upon the Pro-Slavery party; but finally, il
was named Wise, in honor of the Governor
elect of Virginia"

"THE LAST OF HIS TRIBE."--The last
American mechanic, or member Of the
american party" was discharged yesterday
from the outdoor work of the Capitol, and an
"anti" appointed in his place. The person
alluded to is a most exemplary ma n, and one
of the best arts ans in his line in this coun-
try. When charged with belonging to the
"American Party" he boldly but calmly ad-
mitted it. and was Immediately, and with in
decent haste, thrust from an humble position,
in which he had been supporting his family
honestly and by the "sweat of his brow"

THE MONSTER SNAKE.-A number of par
ties just returned from Silver Lake agree In
saying that our correspondents description of
the snake, or animal was correct. They say
however, that the snake has broken from his
fastenings to the shore, and that Mr.. Smith s
leg was broken in consequence of getting
it into blight of the line as it went out with
the snake. They think they can catch him
again; for, trammeled az he is with the ropes
fastened to him, he cannot long remain un-
der water.-[ Buffalo Repu6. Aug. 10Th.

HTA small delegation Of Old Line DEM
ocrats started up the river last Saturday on
their way to the indianapolis Convention .
They wouldn't 60 by railroad because they
could not be taken at half price, so they
cut their own noses off to spite their face.
They are against internal improvements
anyhow. They mended the matter great
deal by getting on tina, whole souled Ameri-
can boat, the Rainbow.

which, from time immemorial has borne the
name of "Purgatory." We are unable to
satisfy the curiosity of our readers as to the
origin or propIiesy of the name, but certain
it is that travellers, after crossing the River

suddenly on a sign-board, erected by the en-
terprising natives for the benefit of such as
