A New CANDIDATE FOR THE MAYORALTY-
BRANCH TURNED UP AaAIN-Some of our cotem-
poraries, who are particularly fond of silly ro-
mances, have been making great fuss over the
alleged disappearance of the mighty Stephen II.
Branch, who after amusing all the gossips of the
city for several months, modestly withdrew from
the public gaze. The brother Of Mr.. Branch aid
ed in this mystery, by solemnly predicting that
Stephen bad met with foul play, and publishing
an advertisement, in which he infinitely described
the appearance Of the lost one-his stature, the
color Of his eyes, his dress and the patriarchal
character of his beard. For a day or two this
attracted some attention, but it soon was forgot
ten. We are happy to say that Branch has neither
been murdered nor robbed, but has turned up, safe
and sound as will be seen by the following letter,
under his own hand and SEAL

have been TO the mountans and now return to pr
claim myself the anti Matse candidate for Mayor Of Now
Brandon. England. STEPHEN Il. BRANCH.
So Branch returns to the city full of vgor,
like young war horse, and is prepared to take
the field as the original anti-Matsell candidate.
All the disappointed politicians are talking about
a candidate to beat Woodland Branch is decided
ly the man. He must take position superior to
that of Libby, or Whiting, or Genin, or Barker,
or any of the other patriots who are ambitious to
be Mayor of this great city. Branch is in the
field. Let him have a fair chance Branch is a
strong candidate.

Tie question of the Pacific Railroad, if there
were no other, would decide the contest in Cali

mount to all other issues, whether Of a local or
general character, and they will give their sup
port to the candidate whose views sympathise
with their own. Under these circumstances we
are not far astray in calculating that out of the
10000 notes.-the usual average of California
Fremont is likely to get $4,000. So much for the
predictions of those who foretold his defeat the
soil which his courage and energy conquered
from barbarism, and whose people are especially
bound to do him honor.

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TAXED FOR THE BENEFIT OF BRITISH CAPITAL.-The people have been bled profusely--at the figure of nearly million of dollars yeary-for the sup. port of monopoly known as the "Collins Steamship Line" The plea on which such an exorbtant sum was perverted to so ilegiti- mate an enterprise, was the necessity of SUD- porting American energy in competition with British capital. It is notorious that the mono poly paid its way through Congress; but there were some well meaning persons who acquies. ced Tn It's arrogant prctentOns in the belief that the bounty of government was enjoyed by an American company. The loss of the Pacihc has provoked aquarrel among the subordinates or Collins, III the progress oi which, certain in- terestng secrets have been disclosed to the country. Among other important revelations 1t is aScertained that the "Colins Line " is owned by British spectators; and that its af- fairs are managed with an exclusive reference to their selfish interests. It appears, moreover, that the so-called Ameri .an line is regulated in subordinaton to the convenience of the Gu nard company.
 Perhaps these disclosures will rid the pco. pie of an odious and oppressive burden.--Rich. Enq

 The Know Nothing council of Georgia met at Macon on the 18th April. and adopted the following resolutions:
 Il. Reso1ued, That the State council, now in session, abolish all obligations of secresy which have heretofore characterized it as se cret political order, and that 1t do now resolve itself into an open convention of the American party of Georgia.
 "2d. That this convention recommend to the party that in lieu of the secret councils which have heretofore been organized in the respec- tive counties. an association be established and kept up in each county, whose object shall be to promote the interests of the American party.
 "3. Resoloed, That the State council having dissolved, this convention deem 1t nexpedlent to take any action at this time in relation to the nominations made by the national convention in February last, but we leave it to the Amerl- can party of this State to hold convention at such time as may be deemed expedent by the central executive committee, to take such ac- tion in reference to said nominations as may be deemed advisable"
 IL will be seen from the above that the grip has been given up-that the passwords have been given up--that the deluded followers of sam in Georgia are permitted to see the light of day once more. and that the cold shoulder has been given to Fillmore and the "nephew of my uncle..'

To Persons Mailing Letters for California and the Territories of Oregan and Wash

Thousands Of letters sent to the Pacific coast become dead letters To remedy this evil, the post office department under the authority Of Congress, has adopted as an auxiliary to its operations, the following plan for simultaneous ly publishing at each, and every post office, in the Pacific region in a list called the Pacific Mail Llst," the names of persons to whom let terS have been sent by mail to post offices in California, and the territories of Oregon and Washington. By this system, letter may be sent to any post office in the Pacific region for person whose location is unknown save the mere fact, that he is someaOhere in California or the territories of Oregon and Washington. vet if the letter be published in the Pacific Mail List" it's ultimate reception by the person for whom it is intended, will be rendered highly probable. To enable those who may desire to extend to their Pacific correspondents the ad- vantages thus offered, the following illlustra- tion is given
 Suppose it is wished to send to the Sa- crlmento post office a letter for George Will son, who emigrated to California from Pike county, Missouri, bat it is feared that he may have changed his location and hence may not receive the letter. In this case, direct the let. ter to George Wilson Qate of Pike county Missouri Sacrimento, California. Then in or. der to publish the letter in the Pacific Mail Lst," copy the address of the letter upon piece of paper or card and enclose the card to- gether with three cent postage stamp, in an envelope, and direct the envelope to the Po- cifc lMaal List" New YmA Deposit the let Ter as usual in the mail for California, and at the same time drop the envelope, containing the card to publish the letter, in the Mail for New York From the address on the card thus received at the New York post office, the name, George Wilson, will be entered in its appropriate place in the Pacific Mail List" which is printed and sent by each mail, to each and every post master in California, and the territories of Oregon and Washington, and by them posted in conspicuous place in their re- spective offices. The list being thus distribut- ed over the entire Pacific region, George Wil- may at once learn from it. that a letter for him has been sent to the Sacrmento post ohic,. No person of similar name will re- ceive the letter, for the address on it points out that it is intended for George Wilson Cate of Pike county, Missouri) Thus many letters will be received, that would otherwise be trans. mitted to the dead letter office.
 The envelopes containing the advertising cards, sent to the "Pacihc Mail List" New York, pay postage like ordinary mail matter, and must be pre- paid. The addresses of let ters copied on the pieces of paper, or cards

Grammar in Rhyme.

We advise every little grammarian, just en- tering on Murray, Brown or any of the thou. sand grammars in use, to commit to memory the following easy lines, and then they need never mistake a part of speech: l. Three little words you often see
 Are articcs-a, an and the. a Nonns the name of anything,
 As school, or garden, hoop or swing. D. Adiectives tell the kind of Noun,
 As great, small, pretty, white or brown. 4. Instead of Nouns the Pronouns stand
 Her head, his face, your arm, my hand. ,. Verbs tell something being done
 To read, count, sing, jumper run. G. How things are done the Adverbs tell
 As slowly, quickly, ill or well. ' Conjunctions join the words together--
 Asmen and women, wind or weather. e The proposition stands before
 \ Noun, as in Or through q door. S' The lnteljeeton shows surprise,
 As oh! how prett, ah! how wise!
 The whole are called Nine Parts of Speech.
 Inch Reading Writing, Speaking teach.
