Suspected Shaver Captured.

The New York Journal of Commence, of the 18th inst, gives the following account of the capture of of the schooner Falmouth, in the Narrows by the United States authorities:
 It was suspected some time ago. that the schooner Falmouth, fitting out at this port, was destined for the slave trade, and by order of the district attorney, strict watch was kept upon her movements. Yesterday morning she cleared without the Custom House papers, The steam-tug Only Son was chartered by order of MT. McKeon, (the district attornev,) on learning of her departure, and deputy Uni ted States Marshall L. DeAngelis and posse ot men were sent in pursuit. The Falmouth was overhauled in the Narrows. Three men, who appear to be the captain, first and second mates, and crew of eight persons were arrest ed without difficulty. One man-who is SUD- posed to have been an owner in whole or in part, of the vessel-jumped overheard and was drowned. The officers and crew are Portugese or Spanlards, and cannot speak word of Eng llsh--so at least they pretend. They are all hardy, daring, weather beaten fellows.
 The Falmouth is tight little fore and aft schooner, Baltimore built, nearly new, of about POO tons She has great breadth of beam, sharp bow, raking masts, and was evidently
 
 and foresal were found on the deck which Were probably intended to be put up as soon as she was fairly out at sea. The Falmouth is fitted up with all the appliances of regular slayer. She had a large quantity of timber on board, adapted for the construction of a slave deck, 56 hogsheads of water, 20 casks of rice and beans, (the usual food for slaves,) large copper boiler and iron caudron for cooking food and quantity of leo irons and handcu ifs On Monday afternoon she was lying at the foot of Fourteenth street, without any cargo of any kind on board. But it appears that another schooner, which contained the cargo of the Falmouth, was lying near her. and on Monday night tow-boat took the two schooners to Hurl Gate, where the cargo of the other schooner was put on board the Falmouth.-- Her crew have been committed to prison in de- fault of bail in S4,OOO each
 She is now lying at the navy yard The ownership of the suspected craft is as yet a mystery Some interesting developments may be looked for upon the examination

country, but it is unnecessary, for ste'mer issues are before us. We have now to take an inpos- 'ng position before the country as southern American party, or the time for making such a movement effective will soon be past, and then the alternative will be degradation or dis union.
 lift would not be deemed presumptuous, we would suggest that there is vet hone for tha American party. That by holding national convention in July and taking strong emphatic constitutional grounds, and selecting natio,ol men for our candidates, we can preserve the integrity of our government and the safety of onr people. The virtue of Americans is vet their patriotism is yet unshaken, al'c an appeal to them in this dark hour of the republic will not be in vain.

Mail Robbery-Arrest.

For some time past money, packages and let ters mailed at St. Louis for eastern cities have been missing, and the mail agents have been endeavoring to discover the robbcr or robbers. but up to the 27th ult without success. On that night the special mail agent for Indiana, Mir. w. J. Brown, succeeded in arresting a man named Thomas Mcdonald, and in his pos session was found money and drafts to the amount of $5,OOO. The following particulars of the affair we find in the Indianapolis Jour- Eal, of the 29th ult:
 On Thursday night William J. Brown, spe- cial mail agent, in company with Mir. DcDow- ell and William k. Boaz, of Laporte county, and c. R. Deming. mail agent on the N. A. and 5. Rallroad brought to this city an Irshman named I hos. Mcdonald, charged with robbng the mail at Michigan city. He was taken to the post office and preliminary examination held before Justice Sullivan, in the course of which the following facts were developed: About the Eth or 9th of March Mir. Deming, the mail agent missed Chicago mail. He had reason to believe it was lost at Michigan city. He gave information to Mr. Brown, the special agent, who at once took steps to detect the !, and Mir. Mcdowell as special officer to keep an eye upon the matter
 They suspected the culprit, Mcdonald, from the first, because, being the watchman of the office of the N. A. and $. railroad, where the mails were left when, sometimes happened, the trains failed to connect, he had better op- portunity than any one else to perpetrate the robbery.
 Additional suspicion was created by :he dis covery near his residence of piece of enve- lop directed to Mir. Conway, of Madison, Ind, which could hardly come properly into his hands. With this clue, Messrs. Boaz and Me- Dowell directed their operations with some certainty. On the 10th another Chicago mail was lost, and in the same way, so far as could be ascertained. On Wednesday last the trains again failed to connect, and the mail was again left over, as had happened when the other rob- 1 Ill kl

HOPE.

 And is it this which dries the tear, And brings the cheerful smilc Which clothes the barren plains atlr, With verdancy the while. Which speaks of something never known, Yet ever just in view, As rcstlessly it urges on, The phantom to pursue. Yes Hope celestial was it's birth, Though earJhward beams it's rays. The sparkling gem of prcelcs, worth, The seer of better days. The soother of life's rufcd waves, The calmer of the storm The balmy sweet that ever laves, The restless weary form. The llarbengcr of realms unseen, Of happiness untelt, Of strains divine which ne'cr have been, Noucn>afcd the heart to melt Oh blighting woe thou hast no gloom. So dismal or so drcur, That this dear ioweret may not bloom, To catch the dewey tear. Little Rock.

 There were many heart lands watered by this little ril It's gently rolling waves had mois tened the lirs of many, who caught up the drops with intense, impetuous prodigality as a vivifying beverage amid the worlds arid sands. Alas. that its course should be so suddenly turned; that the wealth of it's waters should be emptied on a tar-off shore. But can we murmur? A divine hand directed it's path, and to its skill and care we should trust implicitly. Obdurate but doting memory will recall un- ceasinely the slight and dearly loved form of little Fanny, the trick of eye and tongue, the smile and gesture. It will finger on those hours preceding the startling summons, so in- deibly stamped on the parental heart when the little feeble arms were twined so lovingly about the mothers neck, as if mutely asking aid to ward off the death blow. But these re- turning memories must be gathered up and with her lifeless figure laid on the altar of our Father as heart-sacrfces Acceptable in His sight" We pray that the absent father may meet the shock of the sudden intelligence with the strength of christian courage, and to both parents and relatives in this famine of the soul, we would point to the heaven descending man. na-" Seek and ye shall fnd.'
