REmoyAL.-'l'he Washington Star init
mates that the President has removed from
the Mobile custom-house General G.. A.
Bradford, who was one of the delegates from
Alabama to the recent Philadelphia Know
Nothing National Council.
That's the way it works--ifan office hold
er prosumes to hold an opinion without ask
ing leave of the administration, "off with
his head" is the word. And yet the follow.
ers of that administration dwell with great
emphasis on the sin of "proscrbing foreign
ers." Is it any more harm to prescribe for.
eigners than to prescribe natives! We would
like to know. OF course, good Catholic
has been, or will be, appointed in the place
of Gen. Bradford.

FoREsr HILL AcApEMy.-lhs exsri;na-
ton Of the pupils in this school took Place
on the 2Sth ult.
The last month was extra Of the reguEar
session and the school on this account WAS
not so large at the close as during the rsgular
term.
There was very respectable attendance
of the citizens of Athens and vicinity at the
examination; and we noticed number of Ia
dies and gentlemen rom distant parts of
McMinn, and adjoining counties.
The examination of so many classes, in
single day, was necessarily briefand cursory.
But 1t was sustained throughout to the en-.
tire satisfaction OF all concerned. Mr.Carnes
was, Us usual, wide awake, and evinced his
ability to keep his pupils in a like condition.
There were evidently no set lessons for the
occasion, and we were pleased to see the eyi.
dent desire of the students to Understand
and explain tho real substance of thei.
studies, rather than to retain, and evolve
given forms of words.
AT the close Of the afternoon exercises, we
were favored with number of speeches by
the young men,, which did honor to their
heads and hearts in their selection, md to
their trimming and careful practice in deliy-
ery. II
In the evening the spacious hall Of the
Academy was crowded, to-hear the 'compo-
sitions" of the young ladies of the school,nn
some very entertaining and amusing dialogues
by the young gentlemen. -l.= a,
The exercises Of the evening were infer
spersed with performances by the unrivalled
!"Athens Brass Band"
Mr.. Carnes concluded with very appro.
pirate, and somewhat puagem address on the
relative duties oftenchers and patrons, and
wound up by calling on the citizens to come
up and increase the "Young Ladies subscrip.
ton" for completing the house,aDd enclosing
and identifying the grounds.
This appeal was responded to by many in
fuen.ial citizens in speeches and liberal con-
tributiOns. r
Parents who desire'to educate Their chill
dren cannot do better than to send them to

qualified teachers, a healthy location and n
moral community Send on your children,

extreme southern counties of Illinois the
wheat harvest is nearly closed and the yield
per acre is said TO be equal to that of the best
previous year, while the number of acres
raised nearly double that of any former
season. He also says that contracts have

the new crop within the present month.

named WIN. Link, drew pistol and fired ut

drew n revolver, md shot Link dead. His
comrades fed. The Chinaman was arrested,
and after hearing of the case, acquitted.

Or We are requested to correct an error
into which several papers have fallen, among
others the "Cleveand Banner" Tho editor
of the last in his issue of the goth ult says,
in reference to statement that has appeared
in two or three journals:
> ",The statement Is in substance this. That
in discussion at Loudon, between Messrs.
Blackwell, Anderson and Lilard, candidates
for Congress, few weeks ago, Mr., Lilard
stated that he had "recently" visited Wash.
ington city, and made application for the ap.
poiniment of mail agent on the East Ten.
nessee and Georgia Railroad, and that the
Post Office Department. required of him be-
fore it give him the appointment that he
must promise to defend the Catholic church."
Now the error here is, in regard to time.
Mr.. ,Lillard did not say, and did not design
10 be understood as saying, that he had ere
Gently" been to Washington to apply for n
mail agency on the East Tennessee and
Georgia Railroad. He was an applicant for
the place in December, 1858, before there
was more than one agent on the road, and
when it had been determined upon to appoint
an additional one. And it was at that time
that the conversation in regard to the np
pointment of men favorable to, or who
would defend, the Catholic Church, If neces
sary, occurred. What Lieut. Lilard has sale
on the subject. hestands ready to make goot
at any time. II will hardly be necessary

ATTENTION, THE Wash
ington Union psblshes the following gentle
hints to postmasters:
Delivery NJ Letters, Sc.-We understand
frequent complaints against the department
grow out of the fact that postmasters too
often, trusting only to- their memories, tell
persons there is no mail matter for them when
n subsequent examination proves that there
was. If postmasters would adhere strictly to
the rule of making II personal search every
time letters and papers are inquired for, there
would be more despatch in their delivery.
POsfmas.erS' A Assistants 10 be S,eern-Post.
masters at small offices, we learn, are too
much in the habit of permitting incompetent
members of their families, and other persons
in their employ, (none of them being sworn.
as required by law,) TO change the mails, and
to perform all the other duties pertaining to
their offices. None but sworn assistants
should bealowed to have access to the mails.
Looming Newspapers Subscribers to
newspapers make complaints OF. the non arr.
val of their papers, and in some instances in.
innate that the loss is occasioned by the fact
of the postmaster loanng to his neighbors
the papers of others for perusnl. The papers
fail to be returned to their proper place, ard
hence the dissatisfaction. Postmasters are
strictly forbidden to loan newspapers that are
| in their Office for delivery.

WASHINGTON, Juno +.

WASHINGTON, juno IS.
The great battle expected to be fought in
New York on the 4ih OF July, npon the oc.
casion of an effort to enforce the LIQUOR law,
will be as celebrated in our annals MS the bat.
tie OF Brandyrcine or any other of revolu.
tionary fame, and il may be intended, by
choosing the anniversary of independence for
the liquor fight, to commemorate that re.
markable fght. am glad to see that Mnyor
Wood has determined not TO commence the
war till the 9Th, and to make his attack upon
native and home manufactured brandy and
wine, whiskey, &c. He has adopted the
opinion of most Of the judges and lawyers Of
New York, that the State law cannot be M.
piled so as to prevent the sale of imported
wines and liquors. 1t is supposed that tho
United States Supreme Court will decide that
the liquor law is unconstitutional, as il applies
to liquors imported directly and not eoastwiss
into State, and in original packages. Every
single bottle of wine or cask of brandy is nd.
judged to be an original package. At Sara-
toga Springs, for instance, the hotels have
taken care to be supplied by direct mporta-
ton. They can sell a bottle of champagne,
but hot one of Longwoyth's Catawba, French
brandy and Santa Cruz rum, but NOT old
Peach and Monongahela. Bnt there are other
features of the law which are believed to be
as Inconsistent with private rights rs wuh
sound policy and there can scarcely be
doubt that the State and Federal judiciary will
both, by their decisions, render it imperative.

AMERICANS FUsISG IN New YoRK.-The
New York Herald says that n convention of
delegates from the several American Orders
OF that city, representing some six distinctive
organizations, was convened on Monday eve
ming, at the corner Of Broadway and Lispen-
ard street, and after free and full Interchange
of sentiments and opinions, unanimously mp.
proved and ratified the platform of principles
enumerated by the last Philadelphia National
Council. This augurs well for the unity OF
the American movement in the city and
State.
AS far as the returns have been received
from the various sections of this State, the
action of the subordinate Councils has been
in high degree favorable to the unity Of
the American party, on the principles SC
CALAMITY enunciated by the late Nationa
Council.
