Our Mails

We learn from the Petersburg Express that a
difficulty has arisen between the Postmaster Gen
eral and the President and Directors oil the
South Side Rarond, in relation 10 the mails car
ried over that Road from Petersburg to this city.
in which, il seems. the Virginia and Tennessee
Railroad is also involved. These Companies, it
appears, deeming their present rates allowed by
the Postmaster General, e. tte transportation
of the mails insufficient for the service rendered,
ask tor increased compensation. The Depart
ment refuses TO aocede to the proposition, and
has determined that the nail5 shall be carried
in ,eagons, or stage, from aud after the lst Of

We suppose the fact that DR.. Kane has return
ed to contradict the prediction only shows the
spirit was bad one, not that the whole affair
was a mere cheat. The communication was
as follows:
DIR. Kane has recently passed away from the
earth Of life, his mortal body having been
crushed by the ice as he went after his crew,
who had gone in search of land. His ships
have been broken to pieces and destroyed, and
most, if not all his crew are in the spirit world
The spirit also stated that he in company with
pr. Kane, Sir John Franklin, and others, was
last night in the polar regions, and saw the re-
mains of DR.. Kane upon the ice, with clothes,
papers, and his watch upon which they saw
his name, Or. Kane he having engraved il
thereon, not expecting to escape, hoping that
it might be found by some one in search Of
him.

"A MANS HAND BITTEN OFF BY House,
A surgical operation of very interesting char
acter was performed at Fort Pitt hospital,
Chatham, on Monday, on a soldier named
Thomas Dance, belonging to the 18th Lancers,
who had his arm atnputated for the second
time, in consequence of the frightful injuries
he received from Being bitten by a ferociods
horse in the Crimea Dance was engaged at
Balaklava drawing water for troops. and while
so occupied saw horse, with name and tail
erect, galloping furiously toward him. In
moment the horse seized him in his mouth
threw him down, and, kneeling on his body
with his fore legs, commenced tearing his
clothes off, lacerating his breast and shoulder
ina frightfut manner. The poor fellow put
out his hand to protect the lower part of his
body, when the animal seized it in his mouth
and bit it off, Some of his comrades coming
to his succor, armed With stout Clubs Che fero-
cious beast was beaten off Before however,
the horse could be secured, he bit off the finger
of another man and severely injured the shout
der of the veterinary surgeon of the regiment.
He was of Arab breed Dances arm was am
putated just above the wrist; he was soon after

to amputate the remaining portion of the arm
on Monday, and he is now doing well. He was

No NAvYL BArTLEs.-The eastern war has
continued nearly two years, and two of the
belligerents are the first naval powers of the
globe, and yet there has not been single
naval engagement. of even ordinary Importance.
Speaking of this fact, the Journal of Com
merce says:
This extraordinary passivity ofthe Russian
ships, although said to be well commanded
and manned marks the difference between
them and the tarnal Yankees. Had the Uni
ted State been in the place of Prussia, there
would have been many bloody conflict on
the ocean ere this; for, in spite of blockades,
&C., more or less of our ships would have got
out during fogs or darkness, and given good
account of themselves before they returned.

UTAH,-A private letter from Provo city,
Utah county, U. 7. fifty miles from Great
Salt Lake, contains the following items of in
telligence:
We live in sight of snow the year round
We can, as it were, pick flowers with one
hand and gather snow with the other. 1t is
warm in the valleys; healthy, pleasant and
fruitful, with seldom any rain, but we have
plenty of mountain streams to irrigate our
fields and gardens, so that the latter do not
suffer for a want of moisture. We have no
fever and ague; there is always mountain
breeze which affords US pure atmosphere
Groceries are very high; coffee and sugar sell
at fifty cents per pound; calico is from twenty
to thirty cents per yard, and other things are
in proportion. We have been very busily en-
gagged in making sugar, which is manufactured
from sort of honey-dew or sugar coating
which falls on the leaves of the cottonwood
trees, and resembles the frosting on cake
There have been several thousand pounds of
sugar made from this substance within few
days, and it sells readily at forty cents per
pound. ta
