CIRCULARS BY MAIL.-We are requested
TO call attention to the following regulation
of the Post Office Department, namely:
"The law fixing the penalty for violation at
fifty dollars, provides 'tEat no postmaster or
assistant postmaster shall act as agent for
lottery Offices, or under any color Of purchase,
or otherwise, vend lottery tickets; and that no
postmaster shall receive free of postage or
frank lottery schemes, circulars, or tickets. -
Therefore, all such lottery schemes, circulars,
or tickets, addressed either to n postmaster or
assistant postmaster, must hereafter he en-
cludcd from the mail, together with all other
transient matter Of this kind addressed simply
to an office, or box in IN office, and not 10
any individual"
We understand that there is much COM
plant that great numbers Of circulars, gener.
ally unpaid, and in many instances OF II most
offensive character,are forced upon individuals
by being addressed to the number Of ihc"boX"

Is 1T TRUE.-The Governor Of South
Carolina, in his Message TO the Legislature,
says the election of Buchanan is only tru @
between the North and the South. South
Carolina is Democratic, voted for Buchanan,
and will support his administration. IL the
success of the Democratic party cannot
cure the ills of the country, but only give
temporary relief, then, why not let the peo.
pie know in Why not let some other party
take the Government and try what it can do!
The Democracy make all the difficulties the
country has, and while they admit they can
not find no remedy forthem, refuse the rem
edies proposed by others. 1t is clear that
they have given the Union up, for they now
talk of truces and procrastination. They
are responsible for everything of evil that
environs it, and confess their want of power
to apply an appropriate remedy. 1t is hu-
initiating confession for great successful
party to make. Pending an election, It's lead.
ers tell the people that il can only save the
Union. Vote for and with it, and all will be
right. Il succeeds, but it is the same old
party, bloated with the SAME old government
wine, and lmping from the SAME old govern.
ment gout, brought on by over indulgence ut
the government table. 1t is real old su.
pernumerary, reposing on soft cushions, and
eating out the substance of the people. 1t
has some younger brothers and sons who
sport swords and canes, and threaten the
Union with annihiation unless big bud and
dad can have their own way in every thing
Policy dictates the profession of principle,
while practice runs riot over il and tramples
it without CEREMONY Memphis Eagle.

FAIRLY IN THE FIELD.-1he Virginia Flee
toral College undertook to settle future

commended Ex-Governor Floyd for that po.
siton. For fear Faulkner might become
troublesome, they recommended him for

LOCUST Trees On RAlLRoADs.-The Hi
ncis Central Railroad Company have con-
tracted for the planting Of locust tress on
each side of their road, for the distance of
one hundred and twenty miles. After the
trees are once set, with Il little care in keep.
ing the weeds down and the earth mellow
around the roots for two or three years, they
will require no more labor and they will
then afford shade along the road, and will
have Il tendency to cause the grass to grow,
which will in great degree, prevent much
of the annoyance from dust, and at the end
of twenty years the trees will afford timber
large enough for ties for the use of tie road.
This is n most excellent plan, and should be
adopted on every road that runs through land
that will grow the locust. The laborers
who repair the road can bestow the little
civilizations necessary, which will cost but Il
tri1e.
1t is said that the durability of locust for
crossties, &c, is about three or four times
greater than that of pine.

showing no anxiety TO sell.
The indianapolis Journal, of the 18th,

The arrival of .hogs up to this afternoon,
thus far for the season, number something
over 10000. Prices have dropped to So, 50

The number of hogs that have crossed the
