We would not give a brass button for
the additional security afforded by the
registry system. The Post Office De
partment does not assume any more re
sponsibiliIy when q registered letter is
lost, than any other. The registry can,
al best, only afford a clue bv which, if
lost, it may be traced.
The truth is. hat the registering of a
letter is nothing more nor less, than sim
ply saying TO every postmaster and post
masters clerk, That it contains money,
and if any one is disposed to be dishon-
est, he has not far to look, for the money
letter is marked and labelled, ready to

A very significant fact. i, that men,
toned by the New York Times, to the
effect that out of SIIe which was lost of
money mailed for that Office during Feb
rusry, two-thirds OF it was in registered
letters, only proves tina: the registry &C
tually facilitates fraud by pointing ont
the money letters. Therefore, the sooner
the system is abandoned the better, and
as a substitute the British system Of

DANDRIDGs BAsK.-Persons holding notes
of this institution, will see by the subjoined
extract from letter addressed by the CASH
Ter TO a gentleman in Nashville, that they
need not submit to any shave on the same
but can have them exchanged for notes al
par in that city by simply renting to the
Bank.
aEnclosed we send you .Sl5, in return for
the same amount of the notes of this bank,
received this morning in yours of the 2sth
ult
We suspended specie payment when the
other Banks of Tennessee did so, and in
the meantime we intend to resume in other
currency, whenever our notes are presented.
We hope no man may lose cert on the
notes of this Bank, for the Bank is fully able
TO redeem every dollar, and the stock holders
are perfectly willing and determined to do
so.
"If the banks of the State were prohibited
from putting their notes in circulation remote
from their own offices, and required to pay
out nothing but their own issues, redeema-
BILE at their several counters, it would prevent
wild cat operations, and improve the curren-
cy Of the State.

ARIZONA CoMING.--In the United States
Senate, Mr.. Gwinn, of California, gave notice
OF his intention TO introduce Bill for the or.
ganization of the Territory of Arizona.
Arizona is in what used to be the Messiia
Valley Gadsden purchase. 1t embraces about
$1,000 square miles, interposed between New
Mexico on the north, and the Mexican pro-
vinces of Sonora and chihuahua on the SOUTH
and extending westward to the Colorado
river. gentleman who has repeatedly ira
versed large portions Of it, says that it
abounds in gold, silver, and copper-has
many spots of fertile soil, is admirably adapt.
ed for the propagation of all kinds of fruit,
and especially the grape, and possesses an
atmosphere which 'it is physical delight to
breathe" Colorado City, opposite Yuma, is
at the junction of the ella and Colorado, and
at the present head of navigation on the latter
river. Population is flowing into the Terri
tory. The mining companies last year con-
sumed 100000 worth of goods shipped
from San Francisco alone and landed at the
mouth of the Colorado. A week never passes
without the sailing of vessels from California
to the Colorado.

Queer Story about General Walker.--Ac-

"Junta," to which WINS confded the arrange
ment for the second invasion of Nicaragua,
having lost confidence in General Walker as
n military leader, had intended TO place Gen
era Henningsen at the head of The command
This arrangement was by no means palatable
to the "President Of Nicaragua" who has
civilians passion for tactics aud maneuvres
He, therefore, pretended to acquiesce in tho
plan; but when the Fashion was ready for
sea, asiutely slipped on board and set off, to
the surprise of nobody more than the "Jun-
tn" aforesaid, and to the chogrin of nobody
more than General Iiennngsen. On the
strength Of this affair, the knowing ones, 10
regard TO the expedition, are said to prognos-
ticate its speed failure.

NAVIGATION OF THE MIssIsslPPL-By n
table published in the st. Paul Pioneer, it
appears that the present has been the shortest
season of navigation on the Mississippi to st.
Paul for Is years. The river closed on No

days. The usual averageis about 225.--
Nevertheless the trade has been larger than
ever before. There have been l,026 steam

were two years ago.

BEAUTIFUL ExTRAcr.-There lies in the
depth of every heart that dream of our youth,
and the chastened wish of manhood which
neither cares nor honors can ever extnguish,
the hope Of one DAY resting from the pursuits
which absorb us; Of lnterposing between old
age and the tomb, some tranquil interval of
reflection, when with feelings not subdued
but softened with passions not exhausted but
mellowed, We may look calmly on the past
without regret, and on the future without ap-
prehension. But in the tumult of the world,
this vision forever recedes as we approach it,
the passions which have agitated our life dis
turb our latest hours, and we go down to the
tomb, like sun in the ocean, with no gentle
and gradual withdrawing of the light Of life
back to the source which gave it, but sulIen
in its fiery glow long after it has lost its pow.

A NUT FOR THE PnrLANTnRopIsrs. The New
York correspondent of the National Intelli.
gencer says that the fact presented in the
following statement needs no philosophy to
give il a solution:
Fifty years ago, Hayti was noted for it's
extensive plantations Of sugar, coffee and cot
ton, but they have now almost entirely dis.
appeared, except those Of coffee, which are
much reduced. At present the principal
wealth Of the island is derived from the for.
ests which cover the greatest part Of the
mountains--the timber consisting chiefly of
mahogany trees and the different kinds Of
dye-woods."
This would seem TO prove that the negro
race are incapable OF self.government. The
natural productions which require cultva.
tion have deteriorated, and nothing remains
but that which grows in spite Of neglect.

LIFE IN WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, Dec. =. 1855

The Senate gallery was this morning
crowded with ladies' to hear Mr.. Green, the
new Senator from Missouri reply to Mr.
Douglas Speech of Thursday last. After The
business of the Senate was concluded, the
gentleman from Missouri arose, and in his
first few sentences, made us feel that we
were in the presence Of one who would com.
mand attention and give to his opinions the
weight of recognized authority.
He commenced in that language Of high
courtesy which augurs better for victory than
the most hostile defamation. Inclining his
head towards Mr.. D., he expressed regret that
he should be obliged to defend the principles
which his opponent represented. He then
passed on TO the Senator's vague insinuatlons
and grave charge against the Administration
and its distinguished head. Fixing his eagle
eye upon the Speaker. he made it apparent
by few authoritative remarks, that the gen.
tleman from Illinois, had taken up issues
which had no relation to the deep, vital,
throbbing interests of the country-that he
was opposing measures tending to the tran
utilization of the public mind He exposed
the vanished sophistry of Mr.. DIS. artfully
put together speech. He showed that the
Senator from Illinois had garbled the policy
of the Administration in the un!airest and
most subtle manner-that he had split con
sistency into fragments OF inconsistency, and
converted iudicious measures into arbitrary
tyrannical acts. He exposed the falsehood
OF Mr.. DIS. affected moderation, and that he
was paradng high sounding principles to
cover selfish ends.
Before he concluded he made n strong case
against the Senator from Illinois, as shuffler
and trimmer-as man full of tact and admi-
rable diplomacy when he wanted to make his
own side fair. All this told the more be-
cause it seemed courted and provoked by Mr..
DIS elaborate vindication of himself All
who had heard him felt that he had laid him
self terribly open, and richly deserved what
ever Furnishing retort could vibrate from the
heart of man or the tongue of an orator.
The detection Of Judge Douglas continues
to be the topic of conversation in private cir
cles here. His ambition for the Presidency
has always been so plainly apparent that his
late speech is recognised as bid for North
erD votes. We have read his speech, and like
a visitor to the Goblin mandatory, we equal
ly wondered at the imposing style of the
tapestry and the ingenuity displayed in its
reverse. The distinguished gentleman seems
like bat to hover between Democracy and
Republicanism.
The city is indeed betrayed by one of its
own sons, and the Administration may we'll
say. II am very grieued for thee, Jonathan, my
brother" Mr.. Buchanan will have to defend
himself not only against the battering-rams
OF air. Seward, the javelins of Mr.. Sumner,
and the four-and-twenty Founders of Mr..
Hale, but the far more perilous warfare of
traitors in his own camp, the sapping and
mining of "The Press" and all the manevres,
ambuscades and strategies at work in the
bureau of the Douglas dplomacy.-Cor.

spirits and remarkably plucky. said, "Mr
