THAT ADVERTISEMENT.

The advertisement OF the poStonc6 lettings /
eleven columns in length-which we men |
toned the other day, appears tins week in
pear to have understood very clearly which
side OF their bread was buttered when they
summersetted on the Lecompton question:
The fourth of these lucky journals is not yet
known TO US, but it is probably the Lapdrte
Times, whose editor assigns, among other
reasons, a strong personal interest," for his
sudden and extraordinary change upon the
same question. The ainterestn must be
either the printing or the Marsbalship, and
we Think 10 is decidedly more likely to be che
former.-Lafaytte Journal.
1t was this same advertisement that
called forth these earnest professions Of
of devotion to the President and his pol
icy from q neighbor of ours. But the
Advertisement has not sppeared--ws are
sorry to say-in any paper nearer to US
than Vincennes. If it had been pub
lished in paper having circulation here,
it would be seen that no improvement
or change is proposed in the routes radi-
ating from this city. The old tri-weekly
mail to Henderson is to be continued
leaving at the wrong hours, and running
on the wrong side Of the river, going
over a route where there are no inhabi-
tants, and avoiding a most populous
neighborhood on this side. The old
weekly and tri-weekly mails are to be
continued to all the other points, unde,
the old schedules that have existed for the
last twenty-five years. A slight hope is
afforded of some improvement by 9
parenthetical line saying that the De
partment will receive ofIsrs-along with
the proposals for the tri-weekly mail
to carry the mail between this city and
Rockport daily. This gives US some
slight chance-if efforts were made here
to induce reasonable bids for the route
from the right source--to get . daily
mail up the river. But the apathy with
which we endure the Inconvenience o
our wretched mail arrangements, is . re-
proach to our business men. One Of the
principal regions Of our trade is in the
Green River with which we have. no di
rect mail communication. Dates react
US in shorter time from Calcutta thar
they are often in coming by mail from
some of the villages on Green River no
100 miles from this city. We hav'
steamers running daily to points nea
these places, by which mails could b
sent. But not even a petition has eve
been circulated asking fotehe establish
ment of mail route up Green Rive
though the Representative of the ad
joining district, Mr.. English is Chairman
of the Committee on mail routes; and h
would see that our wants, in this respec
were provided for, if his attention wa
called to the subject. Now is the tim
before the new contracts are made, 70
our citizens to make their wants know
TO the Department. 1t is time our oil
fogy mail arrangements Of twenty-fiv
years standing, were improved to NEE
in some degree. the great increase of on
business and social intercourse.

B Mr.. Thomas Winans, acitizcn of Bal
timore, has just received a claim of five mill.
ions of dollars against the Russian Govern
ment, which makes his share of the proceeds
from freight and passenger travel over the
railroads Of that country, reach the sum of
seventeen millions. It appears that, in his
contract with Russia, he was to receive o
certain per centage on all freight and passen-
ger travel, but it was thought by tho Govern
ment that they were exempted from this tax
when applied TO the transportation Of SOL
diers to take part in the war of the Crimea.
He accordingly engaged the services Of John
H. B. Latrobe, ESQ.,, who went on and re-
covered the claim by due course Of law, and,
on account o. the many Thousand soldiers
transported, his proportion was swollen from
twelve to seventeen millions. Mr.. Latrobc
received fee of elo 900 a month independ-
ent Of his expenses, and npon reaching this
city and announcing the result Of his laboys,
was presented with check for 800, 900.

~ MN. w. Huxford, the young man
charged with robbing the Express Office at
Fort Wayne, occupied highly respectable
position in society. He was engaged in the
leather trade, and might have done a good
business, but unfortunately he contracted o
habit of gambling, and became 30 infatuated
with the vice that he neglected his business,
spending all his time at the card table, and
losing al his means Goadedto desperation,
in an evil hour he committed the crime
and commenced anew his career at tho
card table. His sudden supply of funds ex-
cited suspicion; he was watched and evidence
found sufficient to justify his being Charged
with the crime; he confessed all, gave up the
noney-all but about $27o which he had
squanderd, and was allowed to depart. He
fed, fugitive and ruined man, leaving his
friends and relatives almost heart-broken
and distracted at the astounding disclosure.
