POsT OFFICE DEPARTMENT, May 25, Is

Sir: In addition to what was submitted to you on
yesterday in favor Of now establishing the Tehuan-
tepec route to California, beg leave to say tn st. in
one point Of view, the whole nation as a unit may
become deeply interested in the successful establish
ment Of this route.
Tehuantepec is nearer to Us, and lies within the
Gulf of Mexico, which is destined hereafter to be an
american sea, over the whole Of which the United
States must exercise from oyerruling motives,
distinct and mastery control It is therefore fair
to conclude that transit across Tehuantepec in time
Of war could and would be more easily and certainly
protected from falling into the hands of an enemy
than any more distant one.
In coming to the conclusion to establish this add
tional mail line, the Department has not permitted
considerations of the personGlinterest Of individuals
on other lines to deter is from action. Those who
their means in the construction Of rail-
road aeross the Panama route knew that they had

Hon. John Bell and his Black Republis
can Admirers. .a.-- ....
Some of the Abolition organs are already coming
out for Mr. BELL as the next opposition candidate
for the Presidency. Such endorsements as these
from Black Republican papers should be regarded
as a severe rebuke to a Senator from slave Stafe.
"The name Of John Bell, of Tennessee, has Of en-
been mentioned in connection with this Office he
Presidency and his claims, both from ability an 1
service, often met approval, and we are
again happy to say that it would give unfeigned
pleasure advocate, and aid his elevation to that
post, which be would essentially dignify."-N Il.
Cabinet
John Bell is as upright an American Statesman
as ever ate bread, and if in the Presidential chair
would be one of the sblest and most impartial chief
magistrates the United States ever had.-CoHeord
IN h Statesmen.
The former of these papers is bitter and uurelent-
ing in its hostility to slavery, and both of them are
organs Of party organized in opposition TO the
rights and interests Of the South. The Statesman
who looks to the enemies Of his own section and his
own constituents for appreciation and applause
not be faithful guardian of the peoples rights.

AN ILLINOIS RoMANcE.-The RHshciiis
(lll.) Citizen, recently, contains the follow
ing specimen of Illinois romance
" An elderly gentleman had a beautiful
daughter, one whom he loved much, in whom
all his hopes we're centered. Some two years
ago young mana stranger-came to
board with him, and finally to work for him.
His good character, straight-forwardness
genial disposition, amiability and virtue, soon
ingratiated him into the good graces of the
whole family so that some eighteen months
ago, the old gentleman having some business
to be done in Beardstown, intrusted this
young man to do it for him and gave him the
use of his team, &C. About this same time,
his daughter having business-some little
shopping, such as girls always have-at the
same city, and the fathers confidence in the
youth being so great, he allowed her to ac-
company him. At night they returned, safe
and sound, the business and the shopping
satisfactorily done.
Things went on as usual. The family
and the youth mutually attached, and the at
tachment constantly growing and strengthen
ing, until, indeed, the parents of the girl be-
folks, and to observe, with pleasure, the
growing intimacy and apparent fondness be-
tween them. Having such confidence in both,
the old folks retired, as in the country they
generally do, early. leaving the "lovers," as
they hoped, to make their own terms, and FIX
upon their own arrangements.
Judge, then, OF the fathers surprise,
when one night couple Of weeks ago, he
woke up about ! l o'clock at night quite sick,
and having occasion to leave his own, caught
his young and beautiful daughter, in her night
robes. just in the act of taking her place up
on the young mans couch ! Of course
scene followed. The old man wept and
scoided and tore his hair He upbraided his
daughter, and poured the vials of his wrath
upon the ungrateful youth.
The youth took it coolly-calmly, in
deed, under the circumstances. So soon as
ne could get the old gentlemen to listen, he
told him that he need not make such fuss !;
that his daughter had right to share his
couch, to sleep in his arms, &c, (imagine all
the poetry.)
Next morning bright and early, in the
language of distinguished novelist, "a soli-
tary horseman might have been seen vending
his way lizards Beardstown. 1t was that
girls father. Crossing the river at the ferry,
he hurried to the court house, and by the re-
cords of the county clerk found that the
aforesaid young man and woman had been
legally joined in marriage just eighteen
months before p
