Through the enterprise Of JonN ii.
ScRANroN and Capt JAMES VI. HrYT, steam
communication has been had the past year
with our nciglbors on the Sound, and a
weekly mail has been carried through its
length and breadth To these gentlemen
are we, as well as the citizens generally, in,
dcbted for our business intercourse with the
various towns on the Sound the last year
Since the unfortunate loss Of the Major
Tompkins," steam communication has been
kept up, and the mails carried, at great
sacrifice Of time and money, on the steam
or "Water Lilly Their object was to
keep up the communication on the Sound,
until the Post Master General gave out the
proposed contract for the conveyance Of
the mail on the first Of August, when it
was their intention TO have placed on our
waters magnificent steamer. As no no
tice has been taken by the department of
the advertised proposals for mail serv-
ices, no contracts will he given out this
year. One years service having been com
pleted, in the conveyance of the mail by
these gentlemen, We understand that they
VIII now discontinue it, until Mr.. Scranton
visits Washington City. 1t is his intention
to proceed with Col. Anderson, not only to
urge their claims for remuneration, for SER
vices rendered to the people Of this Terri.
tory and to the department, but to endeav-
or, through the influence Of our delegate in
Congress and our citizens, to obtain con.
tract for the weekly conveyance of the
mail by steam on the Sound. That he will
be successful in procuring n reimbursement
from the department Of funds expended in
the enterprise, arc here no douJt; and that
after the wishes of our citizens, and the
wants Of our Territory, have been properly
presented TO the Post Master General by
our delegate, Col. Anderson, VIC doubt not
a contract will be Immediately arranged
for mail service, by steam, on our waters.
The time has come when the eXigcncies Of
the country not only demand it, but our
citizens will have it. The recent discover.
les Of gold mines In our immediate vicinity
are attracting thousands. Already are
vessels on their way with passengers from
San Francisco to the Sound. The new
coal mines, which have recently been open
cd, and other veins of mineral ores, already
point to rapid increase of population, and
to more general development Of our nu-
merous resources.

PoLIrICAL CLERGYMEN.- Illinois ex-
change says thata clergyman in that State,
named ANDREWS, remarked, in sermon
on the Sunday preceding the prohibitory
liquor law election, that he understood
there were few membcrs of bis church
opposed to the law, and that he wished to
see them. A vote being taken, several
members Of the congregation were found
to be so opposed To these the reverend
gentleman remarked: "a IL had the pow.
er, would eXpel you from the church
Another minister, whose name was not re.
membered, remarked in sermon, "There
was not in hell corner hot enough for
any member of the church who would vote
against the law"
The Cincinnati Enqairer, commenting
upon the above, says-and we concur fully
in its view" When clergyman SO far
forgets himself and common decency as to
use language like the above, be ought to
have q straight jacket put upon him at
once"

KANsAs.-Gen. Pomeroy, an agent oi
the Emigrant Aid Company of New Eng
land, lately addressed public meeting il
Boston concerning the progress of the ef
forts to settle Kansas by free emigrant:
and to secure free institutions for the future
State Amid the many discouraging facts
which for months we have had to chronicle
upon this subject, it is cheering to receive
the positive assurances which Gen. Pome,
roy gives upon the other side.--NeIO XorL
Tribune.
There would not have been particle o.
excitement in Kansas on the slavery ques
tion but for the persistent attempt Of the
Emigrant Aid6Company of New Eng
land" to cOlonize the Territory with mer
for the avowed and express purpose oi
abolitionizing it. This avowal certainly
afforded no excuse for the late Missouri
violence, but il occasiOned that rioieaae
The truth is that the abolitionists desire
that Kansas be slave State, and the,
will contribute to that result in the moSt
effective manner possible, viz by contin
ued agitation, and by sending out aboli
ton emigrants. This the South regard q.
intolera6le aggression, which, VIC have
seen, tho people of Missouri, on the bor
ders of Kansas, are not disposed TO submit
10.
If the abolitionists will let Kansas alone
If they will disband their emigrant OiC
companies-if they will leave it to the nat
ural settlers Of the Territory to fashion its
institutions-we will guarantee that the
State shall be free when it comes to be ad
mitted as such. But this the abolitionist'
will not do. They are determined TO keeT
up agitation, and to get slavery into Kan
sas If they can.

Col. BENTON DEFENDING LIEUT.. BEALE.
Col Thomas II. Benton has written O
very able letter to the National Iaietiigeaccr
in vindication of Lieut. Beale's conduct,
both in his recent assault upon Commission
er Mannypenny and in his management Of
the affairs entrusted TO his care in Califor-
mia. He shows that the assault upon the
commissioner was occasioned by three edi-
torial articles which that individual caused
to be inserted in the Washington Star,
holding up Lieut.. Beale in the light Of a
defaulter, and he proves by facts and fig
ures and the testimony Of respectable Cali
fornia men, that Lieut.. Bealc SO managed
the 100000 Of public money which was
committed to him, as to produce property
for the United States worth more than
treble that amount at the expiration Of his
two years Of service among the Indians.

The APPRENTICESHIP SYSTEM IN THE Ma.
vY.-There is . very general as well as o
very erroneous impression prevailing rela-
tive to the workings of the apprentice sys-
TEN, just introduced into the service by
Secretary Dobbin. The system, after ma.
ture deliberation, has been adopted, not
with the view of furnishing the right kind
Of material for lieutenants, captains, and
commodores, but TO effect radical and per.
manent improvement in the character ol
the seaman in the employ Of the govern.
ment Naval apprentices are not in the
line of promotion. They may, by good con.
duct, be advanced to the grade Of petty
officer, but beyond that grade they cannot
advance Washington UaioR

ow-NorHISG PARrY.-The first plank
in tie celebrated KNOWN Nothing platform
enacted in Philadelphia, reads as follows
l. The acknowledgment Of that Almigh'
ty Being who rules over the universe-who
preSides over the councils Of natious--yno
conducts the affairs Of men, anil who, 10
every step by which VIC have advanced TO-
the character of an independent nation.
has distinguished us by some token of
Providential agency.
Upon this the Washington Globe has
some very just comments. Until VIC saw
that confession Of faith, says that paper,
we supposed it was acknowledged every
where by all men and parties and factions
by the American party even, until this
manifestation of q solicitudc to show TO the
world that, whatever else it may be, i e
not atheistical This is an instance OF over
doing thing, or overacting part for
this solemn annunciation seems TO be as
much the child Of hypocracy as the ehlla
of religion. Why assert so solemnly anu
so formally what nobody would have quesr
toned if they had been silent, unless ssa-
cred. things are to be invoked for unhallow-
ed purposes. or unless conscience, which
makes Icowards Of men, was not shifting
then and there the now,Nothing oraclesg
The draughtsrhan Of that FIRST clause must
be q reader Of Shakespeare, We think, and
had in his mind that celebrated police on
Ger, Captain Dogberry, who, in Mneh ado
About Nothiag, says some things singularly
coincidental with the first clause olIthe
platform @ 80
"DOgb. Masters, do you serve Godf
Con. Bora. Yea, sir, We hope. .tl
"D9g6. Write down-that they hope
they serve God:-and write God frsti fcr
God defend but God should go before snch
villains y
So the platform-mskers wrote God hrst
and like Conrade and Borachio, wcala
fain make the world believe they serve hlm
also. We do not apply tho word s'i's,s
TO the know-nothings, DO 1t observed. 'Fof
some of them whom we know we have per,
sonally much respect; for their poli.leai
opinions, and for their platform, none -
