SEAT OF GOVERNMENTAL sensible citizen,
who is ever watchful over the public interests,
writes us:
"In the Evening Star of April 18th there is
letter copied from the Rural New Yorker Of April
fth, purporting to be from the pen of an officer Of
| the Navy, now at the head Of one of the Bureaus
that one on whom the Government is lavishly be-
| slowing favor and honor should be engaged in
spreading the emanatiOns Of his mind in such
manner as to give the impression that the location
OF the Government is injurious to the health of its
officers! This, too, is done by sailor, who,
born for all weathers'' and provided for by the
Guiding princely residence within an enclosure
OF some seventeen acres, in the vicinity of the
Presidents mansion, and that of w. w. Corco-
ran, Esq, whose wealth enables him to select a
location where he will
" An officer of the Government may prove him
self unworthy Of the confidence repOsed in him
dissent
mates papers injurious to the seat of Government
encouraging feelings prejudical to the same
which, when once sown broadcast, are difficult
to is at least guilty Of petit treason
| and should be reminded that in the pursuit of
| popularity he must so word his theme as not to
conflict with the interests of the Government and
the citizens of this metropolis
GENERAL GoIcURIA.-This gentleman, so we'll
known not long since rs the head and front of
the ei deuant Cuba Junta, and, more recently,
in connexion with Nicaragua affairs, left Wash
ington this morning for Mexico. His visit to
| that quarter Of the world, we happen to know,
has nothing to do with public (Government or
revolutionary matters, but is purely one con-
corning his own legitimate private business
We congratulate him on getting out of the rev.
| olutionary walk, and thus becoming really-as
we'll as nominally-an American citizen. Had
his fine talents, large means, and patriotic as
pirations been properly directed at all times
since he emigrated to the United States in some
quiet industrial calling, he would have earned
no less fame, and, indeed, far more desirable
reputation as an American citizen
GENERAL CrsHING.-The Hon Caleb Cush-
ing, Attorney General under the late Admins
tration, left Washington yesterday afternoon
for his home in Newburyport, Mass, from
whence we presume he will soon 90 to the North
west to attend to his business interests in that
quarter, where he is understood to have made
heavy investments many years ago. Few pub
lie functionaries have made more sincere per-
sonal friends in this city than Gen c., whose
character, rs man, is such as that to know
him thoroughly, is certainly to respect and re-
gard him highly. Frank and generous in his
intercourse with all, his great learning, ready
apprehension and simplicity Of nature as a man
attracted to him the sincere esteem and regard
OF all in Washington whose good opinion is worth
having.
APPLICATIONS FOR LANDS TO BE WITHDRAWN
PROM MARKET.-The General Land Office bu-
reau has now pending before it an application
for the withdrawal from market Of about four
teen townships, at and near the Grand Rapids
of the Wisconsin river, and north of the lands
heretofore withdrawn on behalf of the La Croix
and Milwaukee Railroad Company. This ap-
plication is for the benefit of the grant made by
Congress to the State of Wisconsin, bearing
date June Sd, 1855; the State having trans
ferred it to the company named above
similar application is also pending here for
the withdrawal from market of q large body of
lands in Alabama, for the benefit of the Savan-
nah and Mobile Railroad, under the act of Con-
gress approved March 11th, last which appli-
cation bids fair to be granted, we hear.

Bruce, Postmaster; Mapleton Blue Earth CO.,
Minnesota Territory, j. p bennington, Post
