The FILIBUsTER.-A correspondent of the
Bulletin, writing from Asrinwall October
18th, in regard to the new fiIibuster expedi
tion gotten up by Walker, says:
am sorry to say that so far as the United
States are concerned, Walker will find no
difficulty in landing this time Flag officer
McCluney's instructions are to avoid the
great error" of Com. Paulding. in Selling
Walker on land, or. indeed under any for.
eign jurisdiction. not even in port before
landing. He is instructed to seize "flibus-
tiers at sen" but on asking the department If
he should take as proof the meeting of a YES
sci under the American flag, at sea, with u
large member Of men and well known ind-
vidual fiibusters ON board, he should con-
slider that sufficient cause for seizure, he was
told, no. SO you see the Government this
time is in open, ayowed partnership with
Walker.
In order to guard against Walkers being
captured 10y British ship Of war; flag officer
MeCluney is ordered not to allow vessel
carrying the United States flag to he board
ed by n British vessel under any circum-
stances.

Of Mr. Harding is to back Benjamin Smith,
also resident of Cincinnati aged 80 years, to
run "a foot race with any man in the worl,l

The WAsHoE MINEs-H I. 2. Comstock
who has for the last three years been resi-
dent of the locality now known as the Washoe
mines, and who is engaged in merchandising
at that place says in statement published in
an exchange paper:
lst The mines are very rich in both silver
and gold. so far as they have been prospected
2d. BY f,r the richest mines are quartz
leads, and of course they require machinery
to work them, which reqireS capital.
Sd. The placer diggings. though good pay
ing diggings, are nearly destitute of water ex
cept from the melting SHOWS in spring.
4th. The country is barren and nearly
timherless region, Lumber must be hauled
some distance.
5th The locality is but recently settled,
and nearly destitute of houses to shelter
the miners.
9th. Winter ia just coming on. and we are
linble to have two months cold, freezing
weather, too cold TO mine with comfort and
| health.
He advises men not to so up before nOxt
spring, and not TO leap before they look. lie
also states that though there arc many claims
cling prOspected, but comparatively few
prove to be worth working. In conclusion
he says:
! 1t may seem inconsistent for me to take
! goods, at great expense. to a locality, when
| cannot advise men to hasten thither hut it
will make little difference to me whether
sell my goods this fall or next spring, while
it would make great difference to many
miners, to go up there and spend four months
Of their time and all their savings, for years
perhaps, before they could get TO work prof
itably.
IN this connection, we quote from a COM
munication to the Folsom Express, written
by D. c. Parish. who passed through Carson
Valley few weeks since on his way from
Wisconsin to this State. In regard to tn,
Carson Valley mines he says:
While l was there saw gret many able
bodied men who were offering to work 70
their board, but could not get chance
There is undoubtedly some very rich mine
there, but there is no water and no facilit,
, for working them. aud all laboring men tina
go there at the present time will be great,
disappointed.

DEAD LErTERs.-The subject of dead let
ters has become Of such importance as finally
to force itself upon the attention of Congress;
hence the resolution adopt ed by the Senate
at its last session to inquire as to the NUM-
Der and the means for diminishing the same.
This subject deserves the attention OF the
public, particularly of the business men, in
asmueh as the remedy for the evil Is almost
entirely beyond the control OF the Post VI
flee Department, or of Congress. except in SO
far as they may devote the attention OF the
public to its cause The number of letters
annually returned TO the Department is
about 225n. 900. About 10000 Of these nre
found to contain money and other valuables.
and are, as soon as found, registered aud re-
turned to the owners. The aggregate con-
tents of the letters thus annually returned to
the owners is about $4,000 in money and
about So 900, 900 in drafts, checks, notes and
other valuables, as computed at their nomi-
nal value. A general impression seems to
prevail that most of the dead letters fail to
reach their intended destination through
some faults of the postal system or the care.
lessness Of Postmasters 1t can easily be de-
monstrated that the reverse is the case. OF
the 10000 letters a year that are found to
contain drafts, checks and valuables other
than money, most Of which are sent by bank
ers, merchants and businness men, large
/ to h. vi.
dently isdirected-bearing different ad-
| dress on the envelope from that inside the
letter, and as many more are apparently mis-
directed or the writing is illegible or suscep
tible of various readings, or held for want
of payment of postage OF this many thou
sands of valuable dead letters that nre
critically examined every year, but a very
small proportion bear evidence of having
teen returned to the Department through
any earelessness or want of attention on the
part of Postmasters. Whilst the Department
uses the best means in its power to correct
the errors of careless correspondents, it has
generally to bare the blame of missending
letters that were mi.directed or failed to
reach their intended destination, solely the
fault Of the senders Some reform in the
present system of advertising and delivering
letters may be necessary, and the Depart
ment will speedily adopt such as may seem
practicable and efficient and will hold its
officers to strict accountability for their own
mistakes As to the numerous mistakes on
the part of letter writer's and the accumua-
tion of dead letters from such causes the De-
partment is of course blameless, and can only
invite public attention to the subject.

THE EXECUTION OF TANTIA TOPE

The EAECUTlON OF IANIlA lOfEE.
BoxBAY. April 26, ls59.-The event Of the
fortnight in India has been the trial and exc
cution of the far-famed Tantia Topee. He
was hanged at Sepree on the afternoon of the
18th inst In my last conveyed to you the
information that he had been captured;
that Maun Sing had surrendered: and that the
forces of Ferozeshah and the Rao Sahib had
been nearly destroyed in the Seronge jungle
| shall now endcavor to describe the train of
circumstances which led TO such very desi-
rable results. In the mean
time, Mauu Sing was making his peace with
Government, and had taken up his residence
in the camp of Major Meade at Sepree.-
While here he offered his services, and those OF
his followers, to secure the capture of Tam"
Topee, who, he stated, was lurking as tug
tive in the neighborhood Major Meade n
cepted his aid, and on the 7th instant NJ
Sing came reeling into the camp with Tia
telligence that he had marked the gamed
1t appears that he had met Tantia in al
.iacent village and had left him undei
prctext Of going to collect his men. lns'e
however, of doing So he rode straight toiar
British camp and gave the necessary ini"I-
nation. He then returned to the village and
lay down with the man he had betrayed, To
have q little sleep.
Alta given signal, the Sepoys of the 9th
Native Infantry rushed in and seized TantIa
almost before he was thoroughly awake. No
resistance was offered, and the Pindaree lead
er was carried in irons into Sepree. On his
arrival here. he was at one placed in charge
of strong guard, and every precaution
taken to prevent either escape or rescue
On the 18th inst. he was brought to court
martial. The charges upon which he was
arranged were confined to rebellion and
opposing the British Government by force OF
arms. The court did not long deliberate;
and it soon became known all over the camp
that he was to perish on the scaffold. AT
) p. NJ, on the evening of the 18th inst, he
was conveyed to the place of execution IN
dhooly. guarded by company OF the sd
Bengal Infantry, (Europeans.) After de-
lay of about twenty minutes, the charges,
finding and sentence were read in English,
"A native translation having been previously
read to the prisoner. When requested to
mount the platform, he did so without assis-
tance, evincing neither hesitation nor appre-
hension. lie died without struggle, and
had it not been for his crueltes and his crimes,
his stoicism might have been admired.
Tantia Topee was Brahmn of the Dek-
kan. lie attached himself at an early age
To the Court of the late Peishwa, Bajee Rao,
and was from his boyhood, the constant COM
panion of Dhuardoo Punt of Biedhoor, com.
monty called the Mana Sahib. He was well
skilled in military tactics and had made the
old predatory system of Mahratta warfare his
study. His age had been variously estima-
ted, but his general appearance did not be-
token it to be more than forty years. From
the hour Of his capture to that of his death
he betrayed no symptoms Of either trcplda-
ton OF of dcspondcucy.
