LErrEn.-The Wilmington Herald, one of the

notices Mr. McRaes letter TO Mr.. Danoy:
ID X. McRae Esq, late United States Consul to
Paris, and prominent member Of the Democratic
party has long and able letter in favor Of dis
tribuun, to w. F. Dancy, which appears in the last
number of the Tarboro' Sou,herner. We rejoice TO
reeeire such distinguished aid upon this matter Of
Distribufion. subject of the most vital Importance
of all that now agitatc the country. We cannot
doubt but that there hundreds and thousands Of
who wonld go in heartily for the doctrine were
it fairly presented to them, but party tactics have
thus far managed to evade the issue, or to lessen
the importance of the subject Politicians have stu
diously tried to humbug the people on this subject,
and party audacty has gone fa- to declare
that no Democrat can he DiStributionis;. There
thousands of Democrats in North Carolina warm
ly in favor of Distribution, and we have doubt
that f the State canvassed upon this issue alone,
the result would be terrifying to the party hacks
who obs,inarely refuse North Carolina's fair and
just claim in the public domain. We admire Mr.
IhcRae's independence, and shall endeavor to make
room for his letter"

OF THE NEW GRANADIAN GOVERNMENT
have indignantly rejected the ultimatum of
our government, presented through our Spe-
cisl Commissioner. Mr.. Morse, and have refu.
ssd oil naturalization and apology for the
massacre and depredations committed on our
citizens at Panama, in 1855. Mr.. Morse is
now on his way homo. This result leaves no
alternative to our government but to abandon
our only route to the Pacific coast, or resort
to the ultimate argument Of the cannon. The
only course is to seize the Isthmus, and hold
military possession OF it. This, however. will
be an expensive and difficult measure, as the
natives would keep up guerilla war upon
our forces. and would make the contest q te-
dious and fatal one to the troops: and ulti-
matcly impose upon the government an ex-
pense that would 60 far to construct railroad
TO the Pacific over our own territory. The
New Granadans are expecting seizure of the
route. and are preparing to resist it. Our
government evidently contemplates some de-
cisive measures; for, in addition to the vessels
now on both sides Of the Isthmus, the frigate
Wabash has been ordered to Aspinwall, and
other ships are expected to follow. We arc
upon the eve Of decisive events.

Or Hon. Rob'tJ. Walker will leave Wash.
ington for Kansas on the 18th Of May. He
is preparing himself with great industry, by
collecting information, at the departments Of
the Interior and War, for the discharge of his
official duties. The country may. be assured
that he will execute the law-that he will see
that every citizen ID protected in his rights
that peace and order are preserved. A strong
military force will be stationed at Fort Leav-
enworth. under Gen. Harvey. to cooperate
with the civil power in maintaining order. It
is unfortunate that Gen. Psrsifer F. Smith,
who commands the Western Department, ID
not in condition to place himself at the head
Of the force detailedior this delicate and respon-
sible duty.
Gen. Smith was formerly a lawyer, and
Judge Of the District Court in the Parish oil
Jefferson, Louisiana. His abilities as juris
and soldier peculiarly fit him for the command
Of the military in Kansas. But the disease o.
chronic dysentery, which he contracted in
Mexico. still fingers upon him. and has pros
trated his physical powers to such degre.
that 1t is not likely he will ever again be ca
pable Of active duty.

DAILY MAIL TO RocKPoRr-The Rockpori
Democrat publishes letter from Judge Lock
hart. stating that, while in Washington, he
applied to the Department for daily mail be
tween Evansville and Rockport, and was in
formed that the Hon. Smith Miller had pre-
viously made application for increased facili-
ties on the same route, which had been ref,-
sed. The Judge, therefore, thought it best to
let the matter rest for the present, under the
hope that, at no distant day, an application for
. daily mail to Rockport--and if possibly to
Cannelton--would receive favorable response.
There cannot be another route in the State,
that SO imperious!y demands daily line; and
il the Postmaster General was made fully &C.
quainted with the necessity, We do not believe
there would be any delay in his granting the
request. A good deal moro than half Of oil
the mail matter brought to our post Office from
the East and West, to be here distributed to
other points, is destined for towns on that
route. 1t is, therefore. Of more importance
20 far as revenue is concerned--than oil the
other routes for which this is the distributing
point.

THE ELECTRICAL INFLUENCE OF CoMErs.-
The National Inteiligencer publishes the fol.
lowing private letter, written last November,
which foretells the probable electrical intiu.
ence Of the approach Of the expected comet to
our solar system.
THE near approach Of this planet in EN-
bryo will influence our planet, perhaps the
entire solar system. 1t will be attracted by
the sun, and then repelled by it; it will both
attract and repel the planets Of the solar sys-
ten, and appear to create disorder and confu.
sion; but have NJ fears. 1t can neither at.
tract, nor be attracted. so as to come in con-
tact with any Of the heavenly bodies. The
most it can do to any Of the planets (ours not
excepted) will he to change the currents oil
their electrical envelopes This will have q
tendency to give us the warmest or coolest
winter Should the comet appear soon) expe-
renced since 1765. Should the earth's cleo
tricity be attracted or repelled to either pole,
the temperate zones will enjoy an unusual
degree of mildness; on the other hand, should
the earth's electric sheen be gathered in folds
nearing the equatorial regions, then indeed
may We expect the most intense cold ever ex-
per,enced in this climate. In either event,
the disturbance Of the ocean Of electricity, in
which the solar system floats, will produces
extraordinary results in atmospheric tempera-
ture, wind currents, and vegetation, until the
electric equilibrium shall be re-established."
The suppositions are rational, and the pre-
dictions appear as if they were being verified

DEATH OF SENATOR TAPPAN.-Judgc Tap
pan, q Senator from Ohio from 1889 to l845.
who made himself prominent as free soil
partizan and an opponent OF the admission
Of Texas. died on Sunday last at Steu-
benville, Ohio in his S5th year. He was a
brother Of Arthur and Lewis Tappan, two
gentlemen who have been conspicuous in the
anti slavery cause, and are known as the pro-
jectors Of the mercantile agency system
Judge Tappan was Democrat, and in reli-
gion free thinker and skeptic: and it is said,
that in intoxicating his views. his influence
with young men has not been beneficial. He
was a man Of great ability. and was remarka-
BILE for cold, cutting sarcasm and wit. Those
who were familiar with the canvas Of 1910
and 1874 will retain distinct recollection OF
the man and the character OF his speeches.
1t was he who betrayed tho secrecy of the
Senate, by sending the Texas treaty to the
n York Herald. while il was under consider.
alton in secret sessions, for which he was So.
verely cenSured.

o. The United States steamship Wabash,
which now lies off rhe Battery, New York,
has received orders from the Navy Depart.
msnt at Washington. to proceed to sea with
dispatch. Her destination is understood to
be Aspinwall. THIS movement probably has
reference to the difficulty which may be ap-
pretended from the rejection Of Mr.. Morse's
treaty at Bogota. The United States ship
Independence and Decatur now lie of Pana-
ma, and the Cyane off Aspinwall; 50 that our
naval force in that quarter. with the addition
of the Wabash. will be sufficient for any prob.
