The Mail Contrdcf.- the sub
ject of the mail contract, the Tele-
gram says "As the public feel con-
siderable interest in the matter of
mail accommodations for the East.
we have taken some trouble to ascer-
tain the facts in relation to what
provisions have been made for the
future transportation of the mails to
the Atlantic States. The Govern
ment, as is well known. entered into
contact with johnson for trans
por ing mails, from the 1st of Octob-
er. by way of Nicaragua; it also Ia
matter not generally known) ente red
into contract with Vanderbilt. cons
ditional on the failure of johnson to
carly out his agreement. By the
mali which arrived yesterday, orders
were sent to the Post Office here,
from the General Department, to de-
liver the mails for New York and
New Orleans to johnson OF his agent
if they demand them; if they fail to
apply foi the mail matter, then the
Postmaster here is direced to deliver
the Eastern mails to Vanderbilt or
his agents. In any event the Pan
anna and South American mails were
to be delivered to Vanderbilt.
The foregoing is in substance cor
rect statement of the matter. 1t is
not all likely that Johnson's agents
will apply for the mails, as we believe
they have no vessels on this side; and
the probabilities are that the next
mail will have tie take its chances on
the Vanderbil'-Garrison line, which,
as far as the public know to the con-
trary. is likely to prove an uncertain
conveyance. We presume the mail
by way of Tehuantepee, will continue
to be taken hence ty The Pacific Mail
Company, in accordance with the
agreement between that company
and the Tehauntepec Company.

THE JOURNAL,
FRIDAY MORNING, Oct. 2, 1859.

Eepeal of the Neutrality L0acs.-
The Esening Telegram has enlarged,
and inflated with its own expansion
Is not particularly satisfied with the
contracted boundaries of our common
country. 1t can now talk, as glibly
as any of "pent up Uticas," "bound-
less continents" "Grcenland's farth-
est Cape" "Patagonia's snow extern
ded wilds," "the gem Of the Antilles
"sxtending the area of freedom" &c
It takes it at heart badly that the
universal Yankee nation is obliged to
ehafe and fret within a boundary of
ten thousand miles solely on acc cunt
Of those cursed neutrality laws which
compels the head ola family to watch
his unruly boys and fog them for
trespassing upon a neighbor. Room
for the tiemarch" is the exultant cry
Of the Telegram after shedding its
tight unmentionables and donning the
expansive breeches Of an Arab.
In the opinion of the Telegram
two-thirds of the people of the Uni
ted States are in favor of the repeal
Of TIE neutrality laws. We would
dislike to have so poor an opinion of
our countrymen as that. We cannot
be brought to believe that even a
large minority of the people Of these
United States are in favor of outlaw
~. Because we have a restless,
worthless class of people among us
who prefer piracy to labor and are
ready to make a descent upon any
neighboring nation whose peaceful
habits are sure guarantee that little
obstacle will be offered to the gratifi-
cation of unholy desires, we are not
prepared to believe that our country,
much as it might be blessed by rid
dance of it dregs, is willing to incur
a national disgrace, deep and lasting,
by granting unbridled license in re-
peal of the neutrality laws. 1t is an
abuse oflanguage to cite the cases of
Lafayette, Steuben, De Kalb and
Kosciusco, and argue therefrom that
Walker and every other pirate is fol-
lowing in their footsteps and entitled
to the name Of lover of liberty and
benefactor Of oppressed mankind. 1t
is true there is portion of the Amer
lean people who desire to see the ma
tional boundaries extended, but not,
we trust, by letting loose upon our
neighbors a horde of desperadoes,
thieves and unprincipled scoundrels
of every grade in crime. Had no
neutrality laws ever been upon our
national statute books the case might
present fairer aspect. A repeal of
the neutrality laws now can only be
interpreted by our neighbors as a
commission to the vile of our popula-
tion to plunder. 1t could have but a
sinister object-the acquisition of ter
ritory in the most cowardly and bru-
talized manner. Its direct effect
would to send a licentious rabble
without even the slight restraint i'm
posed by the laws of civilized war
fare, to ravish, and despoil our weak
and unofending neighbors. 1t would
place the United States in the posi-
ton Of receiver OF stolen goods-the
most despicable character on the face
OF the eartL,-too cowardly to brave
the dangers of the thieves, and under
the appearances of respectability
meanly endeavoring to disguise his
real character.

Robbery Of Langton's Erpress.--
E. IL. Burns, late agent for Langton
& Co. in this city. was arrested in
San Francisco, on Wednesday last.
at ten o'clock, on board the steame,
which was just ready TO sail for Pan
anna. He was arrested on the
strength of telegraphic dispatch
from Langton & CO.. expressing
suspicion that he had embezzled some
funds of theCompany Suspicion was
first aroused by the fact that money,
to the amount of $4,000. which had
been left at Langton & Co.'S office in
this city to be sent to Riaeout & Co.
Camptonville. and which was way
billed but did not arrive with the way
bill. Upon learning this fact by tel
egraph from Camptonville. search
was made here and it was ascertain
ed that various packages of coin had
been broken open. and that money
had been sent down from above to
purchase exchange on the Eas'erp
cities had also heen abstracted. This
latter fact came to light upon inquiry
at the banks as to whether any ex-
change had been purchased, III COM
pliance with the orders on hand.
when it was found that no such pur-
chase had been made.
The amount missing is supposed
to be about seven or eight thousand
dollars. Three thousand seven mum
dred dollars was recovered upon his
peasou.
A portion of the money it is sup
posed. has been gambled off, as MIR.

casionally contemporary journal cop
les from the first page of the Pass
without proper credit matter thst is
either original or has cost much edi-
torial labor; and said matter is some
times credited subsequently to the
paper that pnrlnined it. We would
not complain Of such trifle but for
this reason. 1t is so unusual for edi-
torial to appear on the first page of
country weekly, that when cofem-
poraries see it in ours they may think
it is stolen matter loaded, and appro-
pirate it as snch. Now because we
have never resorted to this trick, and
do not want to be thought guilty of it
by newspaper men, we make this APP
peal for them to 'give the devil his
due. ."-Hydraulic Press
1t is indeed unusual for editorial to
appear on the first page of a country
weekly. and for that reason the gull.
ty contemporaries who take Brother
Avery's articles without proper credit
may be measurably excused. Broth
er Avery himself, however, sometimes
gets misled, like the cotemps he men,
ito ms. In the paper containing the
above extract we find the folio wing
without credit from one of our back
numbers. We don't complainant a
word it. 1t cost us some labor to Gull
the ideas contained in it from one of
those cotemps who probably stole it
himself. We were bored nearly to
death reading a long article from
which we extracted the pith. 1t
cost us some labor to get the essence.
But Brother Avery knowing that la
Dor Is not generally one of our fail
ings was very liable to be mistake ken.
We '.absorbed" the ideas from some
body, who "bo rrowed" them proba-
bly, from somebody else. and Brother
Avery did us the compliment to
"adopt" our fanguage-It's all right.
The most triAing circumstances some
times serve to point a moral. The
item is good to be remembered as it
may convey a fact hereafter of great
importance in the worlds history:
Paper from Tale.-A German has
discovered a mode by which good
printing paper may be manufactured
from tule. The great trouble hereto
tofore in the manufacture of paper
from this article has been that the

moved. The German alluded to has
discovered process by which the
difficulty can be remedied. We may
expect to obtain indigenous rags
enough to supply the W orld with pa
per. if tule can be made available.
