POSTAL REFORM.-Pliny, the younger, is
again spOuting bogus statistics concerning pos
tai affairs. We perceive from the North Ame-
JieaR that a day or two since he delivered in
Philadelphia, for perhaps the one hundreth
time, that interminable one address of his upon
this subject The misstatements of facts, and
as a consequence, the erroneous conclusions of
which have been exposed and again exposed,
until all who would keep the public properly
informed in such matters are tired out in the
work Of showing them up,
One of his pet mares nests, which he never
fails to repeat in his stereotyped address, we
quote as follows, viz
Part of our irregular postal system consists of
the vast number OF rates of postage on printed

charges, and the manifest and untold absurdities

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS


The Union understands that Gov Walker,
who is now in this city, will leave direct for
Kansas on Monday evening next, or the follow
ing morning. 1t is his intention to take the
oath of Office in this city before starting. The
Union adds:
1.-THE official and private dispatches which
have recently been received in this city from Kan
sas are of character not only to remove all
approximations founded upon the exaggerated re-
ports which appear, from time to time, in the
Eastern Journals but to warrant the hope that the
people of Kansas are about to consult their own
Interests by turning a deaf ear to mischievOus
outside appeals, and by extending generous sup
port to their new Governor in his endeavor to re-
store unity and harmony in Territory still I'M
settled by the division Of sectionalsm and the
agitations Of political fanatics
The MteiiesRcer discusses the Dallas la-
rendon treaty, and its rejection by the British
government
The IRtellfgeHcer has an interesting paper
from Lieut.. Brooke Of the Navy, upon the
Ocean Telegraph" in which, after discussing
the difficulties of the undertaking, the opinion
Is expressed that should the present cable moi
be successfully laid, the eventual accomplish
ment Of this great enterprise can scarcely be
doubted.
