Terrible Array,

we nave often been amused at the vehemence of
the Nothing orators and presses, in painting the
terrible influence the native American has to dread
rom foreigners and Catholics That the Northern
Atlantic cities have through their corrupt politicians,
cause to complain frequently of frauds practised at
cne ballot box by ignorant and uniformed immi
grants unwittingy committed by them, however, we
do not doubt but that the South has anything to ap-
Prehend from such cause, is preposterous Were
me present naturalization laws properly enforced,
there would be no need of such complaint
Flgules-c census fgures-on this point clearly de-
monstraie that the Southern States have little to fear
and that Southern Know Nothings even were one
half of the population members of the Order, would
have but an Insignificant enemy to contend with -

Department. News.


We gather the following items of interest from the
Washington Union of the oath inst We do hope
the matters they alludr to will receive attention:
Post Office Department.
Blank Agencies.-We are Informed that the Post,
master General has discontinued the blank agency al
Buffalo, N. Y, and that all postmasters heretofore
supplied with blanks from that depot will, after Isl
July next, be furnished from the blank agency at Gin.
clnnat Ohio. Postmasters will therefore apply fol
blanks as follows
Those in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Mas.
sachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland Cal
lorna,s ard Oregon will apply TO the blank agent al
Ne1C York, N. Y. Those in the District of Columbia
Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia
Alabama. and Florida will apply TO the FIRST Assis
tomt Postmaster General, Washington, d. C. Those
in Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Texas, New Mexico, Utah, Kansas
Nebraska, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wscon
SIM Iowa, and Minnesota, will apply TO the blank
agent at Cincinnati Ohio.
Ddiuery Of Letters, Sc.-We understand frequent
complaint against the department grow out of the
fact that postmasters too often, trusting only 10 their
memories. tell persons there is mail matter for
them when a subsequent examination proves that
there was. If poStmasers would adhere strictly to
the ule of making personal search every time let
teS and papers are inquired for, there would be more
despatch in their delivery
PostmaSte1s' assistants to be Savorn-Postmasters
at small Offices we learn, are too much in the habit
of permitting incompetent members of their families
ard other persons in their employ, (none of them
being sworn, required by law,) to change the
mails, and to perform all the other duties pertaining
to their Offices. None but sworn assistants should
be allowed TO have access to the mails.
Looming Newspapers. Subscribers TO newspapers
make complaint of the arrival of their papers
and in instances intimate that the loss is occa
stoned by the fact of the postmaster loaning to hi
neghbors the papers of others for perusal The pa
pers fail to be returned to their proper place, anc
hence the dissatisfaction Postmasters are strictly
forbidden to loan newspapers that in their ofic
