Miscellaneous.
Adjustable, Double Action
DOOR-SPRING,

PATENTED SEPTEMBER g. 1857.
THIS new and simple arrangement en-
l. tirely overcomes the several objections
to the ordinary Steel Rod Door Springs, viz:
the great difficulty of attaching them to the
Door, and the impossibility of adjusting the
power after they are so attached.
The Spring can be put on and any amount
of power applied, by child ten years Of
age, and is equally applicable to closing the
Door or holding it open. By simply sliding
the Catch, the Power can at pleasure be IN
STANTLY REMOVED, and the Door allow
ed to ACT ENTIRELY FREE.

The PHILADELPHA Posr 0FFIcE.-A day
or two since, we took occasion TO explain that q
certain despatch forwarded to us from Phila
delphia, which undertook to take sides on the
question of the location of the post office of
that city, rather than simply to state fscts, as
it should have done only, was from the pen OF
sgentleman connected with tho Ledger Office,
which concern is the main party in opposition
to the action of Congress on the subject that
has made it the duty of the Postmaster Gen
eral to do as he has done in the premises. We
are informed subsequently,, that Mr.. Fulton,
who wrote the despatch to SO many newspapers,
is not now an employee in the Ledger office,
and has not been for long time
Of course we give him the benefit of this cor
rection. We wish we could--as We cannot
add to it statement that he is not a warm
partizan of the Ledger in this matter. The
telegraphic agents of the Associated Press have
no business to be partiaans concerning any
thing whatever, Of which it becomes their duty
to send messages over the wires Their func-
ton is but to state absolute facts, leaving the
conductors of the journals employing them, 10
