agent of the department., II there be any,) at the
places at which they arrive all letters received by
them, or by any person employed In their boats at
any point along the route. Masters and managers
of all other steamboats, are required by law, under
penalty Of thirty dollars to deliver all letters
brought by them, or within their care or power,
addressed to, or destined for the places at which
they arrive 10 the postmaster except letters re-
atng to some part of the cargo Postage is charged
on all letters not addressed 70 persons 10 whom the
cargo, or any part of 1t, is consigned.
All letters conveyed by steamboats,, packets, or
other vessels relating to the cargo, are required 10
be left unsealed. If sealed, they must be deliver
ed to the post Office to be charged with postage
IT, on being opened in the presence OF the post
master, they are found to relate to the cargo the
postage may be RENTED. The law relating to this
subject is often violated. Postnastersare required
to prosecute for the penalty In all cases where they
can obtain testimony.
Extraordinarily instructions OF the Post
master General require that postmaster who col
lects postage on newspapers, &C., In advance, and
goes out of Office before the term Of such pre-

delipouents to understand that neglect or refusal
to comply with them, renders both themselves

When il is known that a gentleman is under
a conscientious determination not to submit
his personal difficulties TO mortal arbitrament,
people who acknowledge such an obligation
themselves are scrupulously particular not to
employ offensive cpithets in speaking Of them,
lest it be suspected that knowledge Of their
determination not to fight may have had some
thing to do with tho disposition to insult them.
Since Prentice has made known bis determi-
nation to keep the peace, some Of his contcm-
porarics employ very fcrocious and insulting
language towards him. The Union calls him
/" lioentious;" the Wilmington Journal says he
lisa hosry old scoundrel;" the Louisville
Times, Gan impotcnt and malignant cunuch."

these chivalrous gentlemen to wink and hold

be son to the warning couple alternately attacked
and defended In the public papers. He is also the
one person who has power over me, and the effect
ofpersonsl and cruel attacks upon me only draws
US closer together, aud daily slienates him more
and more from the fierce, false group who think
their own yindcstion depends on laundering his
mother. His letter lies before me- begging me 10
be comforted always by the conviction that be loves
and reveree me more than thousands Of sons in
houses where no question was ever raised which
docs comfort me always, as he most truly thinks Il

From the Richmond Wing.
ID. y. Dickinson.

A very unworthy trick, according to the New
York papers, has been played, or attempted upon
the Hon. d. s. Dickinson by the Pierce Democra.
cy. The administration and It's peculiar followers
more cordially detest the ex-senator Of New York
than any other statesman IN the country. They
consider no device unfair by which he could be en-
trapped or compromised In pursuance of this
game, government editor In Florida wrote
Dickinson very complimentary letter, inquirinp
his views on the Know-Nothings. The ex-senator
replied immediately-the 9th Of June--saying he
did not like the secret festure--but he fully and
entirely approved Of their platform ON the ques.
ton Of slavery--it had been his own, and he
would not rcpudiate Il because others embraced il.
This was not the thing wantcd-and consequently
the letter was kept concealed until the southern
elections VICE over. The editor now publishes the
letter with hs-sh comments-after having first
sent II to Washington and Old Point-where Mar.
cy was.
The union Of the e,uservative elements in New
fork--of the Hards, Elver Greys, and Ameri-
cans--upon some such san as Dickinson. can

Majority for Flournoy.

And this, too, with some three or four hundred
Wing votes in the district, that are known not to
have been cast at all And yet, Mr.. John 8. Cas-
kie was elected to represent this district In the
next Congress, by majority of some five or six
hundred votes. Is there not grouad for complaint
somewhere. especially when we know that the
same few who threw away this district, also threw
away the State by the same system Of manage
ment, and TO accomplish the same endsf We have
no wish to revive old difficulties and differences,
but there are some things necessary to put on re-
cord, so az to avoid repetition of similar troubles

that there is at least prospect of peace.
One rumor says that Russia directly re-
quested Prussia to make conciliatory Of
fers to the Western Powers. Prussia is
said to have accepted the mission. Aus.
tria has also assented to the proposition.
But the most definite form of rumor is
that propositions have been submitted
to NAPOLEON on behalf ofRussia, which
can be honorably accepted, namely, that
Russia will conclude peace with the
Western Powers without intervention ei-
ther Of Austria or Prussia-Russia &C
ceding to guarantee independence to the
Danube and Principalties, and freedom
OF the Black Sea, and both parties to
continue preparations for war, but no &C.
live hostilities to be entered upon up to
agreed dates. All this is possibly pre-.
mature, but strong hopes of peace may
arise. The excitement respecting Amer
lean affairs has almost subsidized in Great
Britain. The Danish Conference assem-
bed on the 2Oth ult., but took no &C
ton. The King Of Prussia's speech to
the Chambers announces decidedly con-
tinued neutrality. Some unimportant
changes have occurred in the English Cab
