MIssrsa MAILs.--The postmaster at st. Louis re-
ports that the mail made up for Boston on the 2eth
January, the mail of the 9th of the same month
for Washington, and the mail of the 7th of March
for Philadelphia, are all missing, and have fallen
into the hands of robbers. These mails contained
money and large amounts of drafts, and from the
moment that they left the St. Louis post-ofice they
were in the charge Of mail agent
During connexion Of, nearly twenty years with
the press, we cannot remember my parallel to the
depredations committed upon the United States
mails under the present administration. And what
ismore extraordnarys the fact that these robberies
are for the most part committed by postmasters
and mail agents The Postmaster General, in the
madness of his fanacism, arrived at the sage conclu
sion that Americans were not honest enough for
these responsible stations and therefore intrusted
the letters and property of the people to horde
OF foreigners, who are carrying out their princi-
pies by the most outrageous robberies in every
quarter OF the Union. Is it not high time that
Congress ordered an investigation into the affairs
OF the Post Office Department. They may depend
upon 1t there s something rotten in that branch of
the public service.

F We propose, in few days, to change
the Daily Organ into morning paper,-to
increase the editorial and miscellaneous mat
ter,-to procure more local items for publica-
ton, and to render it in all respects the most
desirable paper printed within days journey
of this metropolis. To do this will require q
large additional outlay, and we trust it will Sc
cure more extensive patronage. We, on our
part intend to do our duty, and our whole
duty, TO the American party and to the public.
It will not be our fault if this party shall fail
to discharge its obligations to our press. In
making the proposed change, we shall also
make arrangements, which we trust viii SO.
cure the punctual delivery Of the paper. Our
carriers viii Of course expect prompt paynaen
from all whom they supply, either weekly O.
monthly. Our city subscribers to the Ddits
already understand that payment is due to thu
carriers, and that default in payment fall
heavily upon class of persons not able to sus
tain the loss. In their behalf we ask promp
payments to the carriers. Messrs. White anc
Carter have now several hundred dollars du,
them, in arrears, the payment of which they
respectfully solicit from those to whom they
furnish the Daily 0rgdn. They will call upor
those in arrears in day or two. When ou
arrangements are completed we shall forward
the Daily Organ to Baltimore, Norfolk, Rich
mond, &c., &C., by the first morning mail, il
packages, for early distribution. Agents ii
tho different towns on the Northern, Southern
and Western routes can be supplied, upon ap
plication, by railroad and steamboat.

Justice of Connecticut, an 0pinion--or an indig-

on this impulse, having srrogratsd to themselves
the right to sit in judgment upon the evangelical

"The sentence Of accommodation which some,

Walkers Army.

We have taken the pains, says the New York
Express, to converse with some of the passengers
by the Star of the West for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the latest developments in relation to the
Nicaragua and Costa Rica difficulties. We find.
however, that little nothing in the way of feeling
seemed to be manifested on the subject by-he
Nicaraguan people, as far as could be observed.
battle was expected between the belligerents,
but the result was generally regarded with indif-
ference. Walkers men Americans were thought
to be disappointed and discontented, a number of
them returning in the Star of the West The
soldiers were very badly clad, and poorly equip
ped, debilitated by the climate and generally re-
duced to pallid and sickly appearance Those

contrivance of piece Of leather under the foot,

ELECTION In LEAvKSwoRrH, KANSAS TERRITORY.
Last week there was an election in Leavenworth
for Councilman. The contest was strictly be.
tween the Pro-slavery and Republican parties.
Beck, the Pro-slavery candidate, was elected by
lo2 majority. Great rejoicing followed, as prior
events had left some doubt whether Leavenworth
was or was not pro-slavery town. This election
settles the question.

THURSDAY, April 8, 1855.
< Mr.. BROWN reported resolution from the
Committee ON the District Of Columbia to change
the location of the Armory from the mall TO Ju-
dietary Square, Passed
Mr.. FISH called up the bill for the relief OF the
widows and orphans of the officers and seamen OF
the sloop-ofwar Albany, and for other purposes !;
which bill was amended and passed.
Mr.. CLAY, from the COMMITTEES on Pensions,
reported back resolution declaring In what man
ner the pensions shlll be paid to the Cherokee
Indians, without amendment; when it was taken
up and passed
Mr.. HOUSTON called up the resolution calling
for the official proceedings and correspondence IN
the case of the court-martal lately held in Phila-
delphia on Captain Richie.
Mr. FISH wished TO know the size of the volume
that would contain these proceedings and corre-
spondence and what good they would do when
published?
Mr. HOUSTON said the correspondence could
be contained in few pages, and that il was pla-
cling needful information before the Senate and
country.
Mr. PRATT should oppose the resolution. He
thought the of the last few days showed
the impropriety of discussing the private charac.
ters Of the Board, of officers in the Senate, and
he thought If this resolution rejected the sub
ject of discussion would be dismissed.
Mr.. HOUSTON said that he had been careful to
express no opinion upon the subject but had called
for information on which he could form intelli-
gent opinion. He thought the insinuation that he
dragged the private character Of individuals as un-
just but he would not meet them now; but on q
fitting occasion he should reply to the aspersions
made against him by the Senator flom Delaware.
Mr.. BAYARD made some remarks in reply, in
so low tone that the Reporters could hear but
lite except that he had not gone out OF the range
of Senatorial propriety in defending his client
against the aspersons made.
Mr.. HOUSTON was glad that the gentleman
[Mr. BAYARD] had not gone out of the range OF
Senatorial propriety, but he was sorry that the
range was so very wide.
After Messrs. CLAYTON and CASS had given
their reasons for voting against the resolution, the
Senate refused to take it up, by close vote.
Mr.. DOUGLAS then moved to postpone the
| prior order and take up the bill to admit Kansas
as a State when her population was sufficiently
| large; upon which
Mr.. C0LLAMER commenced his speech in re-
| ply to Mr.. DOUGLAS.

From the Nashville Banner.
Tr. Fillmore and Mr.. DOneIsOu.

The following incident Is related to us by gen.
tleman who happened to be present when Mr. Fill
more visited the Hermitage as be passed through
this section of country after the close Of his Pres
dency. He called after leaving the Hermitage,
and spent several hours with Major Donelson, who
had prepared collation. of which many Of the
neighbors partook In the course of the evening,
Major Donelson after advertng to the fact that he
had once bitterly opposed Mr.. Fillmore, having
looked upon him as the head of party which
stood on platform unsafe for the institutions of
the South stated to his friends and neighbors that
he was happy to have such an opportunity as this
of expressing his conviction that he had done his
distinguished guest, who had just left, great inus-
tice.
II was now manifest that Mr. Fillmore was a far
more reliable friend of the constitutional rights OF
all sections of the Union than Mr.. Pierce for whom
he, Mr.. Donelson, had voted. Time had shown
that Mr.. Pierce the patron Of the utraists who
had so bitterly opposed the compromise measures,
as final settlement of the slavery question 1t
was also now evident that Mr.. Fillmore in stand
ing by that settlement, had brought upon himself
the wrath Of the higher law men OF the North.
Under such circumstances Mr.. Donelson said, he
was ready to make all the amends in his power,
and that as he had helped his Democratic friends
to pull down the administration of Mr.. Fillmore,
he would say to them that he was ready to build it
up again: and, as an earnest of his intentions, he
would now propose as toast, at his own house
and at his own table:
"MnLARD FILLMoRE--The people win make him
President in 1856, as they did General jackson in
1928, and in 1882. He is true to the Constitution
and the Union, whilst his Democratic successor
has sbamefulIy surrendered both to the keeping of
the higher law men of the North and the South,
the Rhetts and Cheveses Of the latter section, and
the Stewards and Giddingses of the former"
This toast was drank with acclamation, and af-
fords conclusive evidence of Major Donesons high
appreciation of Mr.. Fillmore, at time when bis
open and manly expression Of such appreciation
could by no possibility be subject to the imputs-
ton of having proceeded from any other than the
most honorable motives.
