Arrest Of Alleged Mail Robbers at Cum
berland.-We learn from the Baltimore Sun
that at the instance of Col James L. Mcguire,
the efficient United States special mail agent,
| two men named George Newell alias Anne
vile, and Lloyd Dowden, were arrested at
Cumberland, Md, on the 26th ult., by the
Deputy Marshal for that town, on the charge
| of committing depredations on the mails pass
ing through the Cumberland post Office
By the way, We have been asked repeat
| eddy, if this special agent, Col. Mcguire, is
| Lieut.. James Mcguire, Of this city He is
| not. Col. James L. Mcguire, the special
agent of the Post Office Department, is q ma
tive citizen of Maryland, or of this District,
and is one of the best officers in the service.
Lieut.. James Mcguire, Of this city, ha. never
been employed as regular agent of the De-
partment; but on one or two occasions ha 8
been sent to California, as route agent, in
charge Of the mails. Hence the mistake in
confounding these two gentlemen He is not
now connected in any way with the Post OF
fee Department. " .-.
Senator Rusk.-The action of the Senate,
yesterday, in SO promptly passing tho bill OF
Senator Rusk, appropriating $50, 600, for the
| forti6sation of Galveston harbor, shows con-
clusively the great weight Of that gentleman
| in the national councils. The passage Of such
| bill through either House Of Congress on the
day in which it was introduced, is an occur
renee before unhesrd-of in the legislation of
| the Government, if we are not greatly mista-
| ken. We cannot doubt that it will shortly
pass the House Of Representatives, also.
Presidents Reeeptions.-The President
will give public reception at the Executive
Mansion on Friday evening of this week as
usual, but from that time, until further no
| tice, the receptions will be on alternate Fri
