The New Orleans Picayune says the mail, via the Jack

four days and seventeen hours The change took place
the LIST of July but the mail has not yet come through
in less than six days
Our readers will recolect that about u month since
great efforts were used to induce the public to believe
that the above route must upccde the DID, Seaboard
route for the reason that it shorter and matter
of course, must be quickcr-it not cheaper. Things
will have their natural course. All humbugs will have
their day. and then die out The consequence is newt
able Travel may be diverted from its natural course
for short while, but it must revert back into the old
beaten channel, when people find themselves deceived as
they have lately by the many false reports put in crcu
latiOn, intended to divert the Southern travel and even
the mails from the Seaboard line of Railway. We have
heretofore exposed these deceptive appeals The people
now begin to realise the truth of remarks AS the
world grows older the people ought to grow wiser, and
not allow themselves to be humbugged at every step

while to please the rest Of the world-especiaIy when
we feel satisfied we will come out right in the end

COBB vs.. BucHANAN-Thc correspondent

COBB VS.. BucHANAN.-The correspondent
of the Courier and Enquirer writes
In the smothered contest so long in pro-
gress between the President and the Secretary
of the treasury, Mr.. Cobb has recently gain
ed very unexpected but decided advantage
He has secured the support of the Washing
ton Union. This is the first time that such
a thing has occurred in our history. The ar
ticles OF the Union on the tariff are sent down
from the Treasury. and are written or revised
by the Secretary They condemn in strong
terms the doctrines Of the Message on the
protection of iron, and the substitution of
specific for ad rdlorem duties recent ar
ticle applies peculiarly strong terms of CEN
sure to these opinions, and without naming
Mr.. Buchanan, clearly reads the President
out of the party as heretical and schismatic
The Washington States also condemns the
Message and deprives Mr.. Buchanan of men,
bership with the Democracy. Mr. Cobb has
also been successful against the President in
Congress. He has had the address to secure
a majority of the Committee of Ways and
Means favorable to free trade, so as to defeat
the Presidents recommendations.
The Committee has resolved that it will
not consider any question of general legsla-
ton until the appropriation bills are report
ed. This determination is probably fatal to
any revision of the Tariff, further than is re-
quired by Mr.. Cobb's suggested return to
the decimal divisions.
We regard the opposition between Buchan-
an and Cobb mere trick-Pennsylvani to
be appeased by Buchanan's toN and the
South by Cobbs action.
