FavOrIte Names.

The census reports sometimes present
some curious facts and figures. We were
looking over one of these pub docs. the
other night and we're surprised at the Won
derful unanimity Of feeling which the Hoo
sier, exhibit In their selection of names Of
towns. We counted up 42l towns in In
diana, for which number only iorty names
have been selected For an instance; there
are 80 Washingtons, SO JacksOns. "a liar
risoDs, 20 Unions, l6 Clays, 81 Jefferson 6
"Poseys," &c., &c. Other towns by dozens
and half dozens claim the same name.
similar state of things is observable in Ohio
and Pennsylvania and other Of the Western
aud middle states. This manner Of naming
towns is doubtless productive Of much travel
to letters and papers sent to residents of
the "Jacksons" and "Washingtons," es-
pecially in such cases as where the partic-
ular county is not specified in which is 10.
Gated the place referred to. 1t is pleasing
to the patriot to observe the respect for our
great men entertained by the hardy sons
of the West" but we are afraid that this
multiplicity of names causes a great deal Of!
disappointment to expectant correspondents
and has n tendency to add largely to the
business of the Dead Letter Office.

INDIAN SvMMER.-This delightful season
seems to have begun in good earnest. The
days are yet warm rs in summer in the At
lantic States, but oppressive no longer.
The nights are delghtfully cool and sleep in
vitiug; indeed this is our most charming
season. There is slight haze hanging in
the air, sottening the suns rays. and now
and then II stray cloud drifts across the sky
as harbinger of winter. The moon is
growing big, and the nights will soon be
bright with her mild light In no country
on earth is the year blessed with such an
abundance of delightful days and nights as
is California

LIFE AMONG THE CAUCAsIANs The or
binary mode of life among the Caucasians is
frugal and in strict accordance with their
social condition. Their houses and huts are
for the most part, poor and meagre in con-
struction, seldom exhibiting the smallest
signs of prosperity. few have dwellings
rudely built of stone, but the majority of
the habtations are constructed of pine
boards, roughly put together, and matched
over; others consists merely Of hurdle work
pastered with clay aud mortar, and though
they contain several room :, they are without
windows or chmneys, aud nre nSed rs com
mon resting places for men aud cattle. Some
tribes have no houses at all, but live in
caves. The Cacasan villages are mostly
formed in n circle, in the centtr of which The
cattle are placed for security during the
uight; but others consist cf few hut>,
widely scattered about the forest. and the
poverty of the inhabitants seems legiole on
every threshold. Their ordinary food is n
preparation from coarse mllet, and II piece
of roast meat and "a draft of beer, which they
occasionally brew. are the greatest Injuries
they know. Knives. forks, and plates are
dispensed with in n Caucasian household,
and considered supe' fl ultiPS.

Southern DemocracT.

The Macon Telegraph, one of the
most abb and influential Democratic
papers in Georgia, replies as follows to
the ~insimuations of the Fremont press
hat the South will require of Mr. Buch-
anan concessions thatswill be ~inconsis-
tent with his position as a candidate:
"What is the first principle of the
| Georgia Platform? 1t is that the South
demands that the general government
shall interfere neither to establish or
prohibit Slavery in the Territories
Leave to the people of the Territories,
when organizing a State Government,
to decide for themselves whether they
will have it or not. 1t demands non-in-
tcr~tference, rigid and entire, with the
whole matter of slavery, except in those
cases where positive protection is requir-
ed by the Constitution, or where upon
plain general principles it should come
in for positive protection like any other
%propertv interest. In brief, the great.
plain constitutional demand ofthe South.
may be summed up in the words Let us
alonc!'
Now, what is the duty of an admin
istration in reference to slavery in the
Territories? Plainly this: to protect
lawful immigration into those territories
from all quarters and impartially. To
see that every constitutional right Of
every immigrant is maintained, while
under atsSESlformsef government,
and TO approve the bin admitting the
Territory as a State, when, in pursuance
of law, she shall have formed and adop-
ted a republican form of government,
according to the provision of the Con
stitution. Here his duty begins and
ends, and We declare our conviction that
the fair minded southern people would
just as reluctantly see a President pros
tituting his official power to shape and
mould the immigration Of a territory
FOR slavery as AGAINST slavery. What
we demand Is EVEN HANDED JUS
TICE! That is all the South ever de-
manded in reference to slavery or any
other sectional interest. She insists Up
on her Constitutional rights, and claims
nothing more"

The New Postage Law.

1t may not be generally known that
Congress has very recently passed an
act making prepayment of postage on
all transient printed matter obligatory,
before it can be transported in the mails
of the United States-a capital provision
indeed. In order to carry put this law
the Postmaster General has established
the following additional post-ofice rcgu-
lations, which should be preserved for
reference by all who may have occasion
to send newspapers and pamphlets, &c,
now and then to their distant friends.
They are as follows:
l. Books, not weighing over four
pounds, may be sent in the mail prepaid,
at one cent an ounce any distance in the
| United States under three thousand
miles and at two cents an ounce over
three thousand miles, provided they are
put up without a cover or wrapper open
at the ends or sides, SO that their char
acter may be determined without reno
wing the wrapper.
2. Unsealed circulars, advertisements,
DuSllCSS CdEuS, Ii dhoACAG ChSpdBSAo II
| every other article of transient printed
matter, except books, weighing over
three ounces, sent in the mail to any
part of the United States, are chargea-
BILE with one cent, to be prepaid by pos
tage stamps. Where more than n
circular is printed on a sheet, or a cireu-
lar and letter, each must be charged
with a single rate. This applies to lot
terry and other kindred sheets assuming
the form and name of newspapers; and
the miscellaneous matter in such sheets
must also be charged with one rate. A
business card or an unsealed envelope of
a circular subjects the entire packet to
letter postage. Any transient matter
like a circular or handful, enclosed in
or with assperiodicrl or newspaper sent
to a subscriber, or any other person,
subjects the whole packet to letter pos
tage; and whenever subject to letter pos
tage, from being sealed or any cause
whatever, all printed matter, without ex-
ception, must be prepaid or excluded
from the mail. 1t is the duty of the
postmaster at the mailing Office, as we'll
as at the office of delivery carefully to
examine all printed matter, in order to
see that it is charged with the proper
rate of postage, and to detect fraud. At
Offices were postage stamps cannot be
procured, postmasters are authorized to
receive money in prepayment OF postage
on transient matter; but they should be
careful to keep a supply of stamps on
hand.
