Post QMce Robberies.

"A Student" writing from Ann Arbor
Mich, to the Detroit Tribune, under date Of
May 26, says:
l take this method Of trying, if possible, to
get some clue to a thief who turks in one OF
four post offices which I shall shortly name
or at least put the ~postmasters of these several
Offices on guard III the future.
/ have had three money letters stolen from
the mails somewhere between st. Thomas, c.
W., and Ann Arbor, Michigan The letters
only pass through st. Thomas, Winson, De
troit and Ann Arbor. Now, in one of these
offices lies a base and treaeheTous chief-a
cowardly robber in the employ of the Cana
dian government, ready TO pounee upon any
letter that may come under his avaricious eve.
How he finds out those in which money is de-
posted, is more than l can imagine. My let
tiers have all been sent in different manners !;
the last was an Opaque envelope, small, and
superscribed in a lady's hand writing on pur-
pose to mislead, yet the rogue detected it
Though, certainly, if he had st spark of human
ity left in him, did he ever stop to read a let
ter (which / suppose he does mott he would
never have have taken one addressed to a stu
dent, who has been working his way through
college, with no one to depend on but himself
to whom every dollar is worth ten times as
muchas to one who is educated by rich parents.
Once | was compelled TO cave college for
six months on account OF losing two of the
above mentioned letters, and on account of
losing the last | shall have to leave before
graduating. But the old proyerd says, " II is
a long lane that has no turn" | can outlive
it, and he may yet be the sufferer. NY only
wish is, that the thief may be brought to a
speedy justice.

A FAMILY QUARREL IN KENTUcKY.-Th
Lebanon Central Kentuckian gives the follow
ing unique description of a recent domestic
alienation in that place
con Friday last, at the sale of Mrs. Fanny
Nash. deceased, a difficulty arose between Cha
fin Glascock and Thomas Owens, brothers-in-
law and sons-inlaw of Mrs. Nash. 1t seems
that the difficulty between Owens and Glascock
had subsidized, Glascock leaving Owens, when
Edward Glascock, son of Chain Glascock drew
a pistol and shot Owens in the side. Owens
Immediately wheeled and shot young Glascock
in the back. During the melee, old man Glas-
cock returned and cut Owens in the neck a
frightful cash. Owens having fallen from the
effects of the shot and cut, young Carlin struck
him on the head with a pot rack. Owens died
during the night. 1t is thought Glascock will
recover, though he is in a critical condition.
Neither Carlin or Glascock have been arres-
ted.

Hard Times in Iowa.

We are sorry TO learn from the low papers
that there is much suffering in that State from
want of food. During the early part of spring,
the cattle died of starvation by scores through
cut the State, there being no grain to feed with,
and that affairs are not a whit improved at
this timemay be learned by the following pic
ture of distress, from the Eddyville CONNER
cial.
It is useless to deny or attempt to conceal
the fact. This region of the country is desti-
tute of the necessaries of life. The stock of
food for man and beast is about exhausted
There is, perhaps corn enough to feed those
who are unable to buy flour; but they have not
the means to buy corn. 1t is in the hands of
a few persons and they will only sell for cash
at a dollar a bushel. Not on third of those
who need to buy corn have the dollar, or any
means of getting it; for the money, like the
corn, is out of the reach of the destitute. We
are no panic maker, but of this we feel certain
and we speak a~dyisedly, that in thirty days from
this time, unless those who have d surplus agree
to part with it, on time, at a fair price, it viii
be distributed and carried away by bands of
desperate men, to feed their starving families.
This sounds terribly; but is too near the truth.
and men will not suffer their families to starve,
when food can be procured by going and taking

The London Correspondence of the New
York Tribune.

The intelligent London correspondent of the
Tribune writes, on May 18th, as follows
The Austrians are now fast retreating.-
They have now given up the line Of the ST.
sa, and will scarcely wait the French within
the boundaries of Piedmont. Francis Joseph,
who in the first instance snubbed Baron Hess
for his cautious plan of the campaign, which
was to remain around Pernes, and to accept
the battle under the cannons of the fortress,
has now lost his confidence in the more daring
plan of Gavlau, and will in a few days set out
with Baron Hess to supercede Galau in the
command.
The continuous rain and retrogade move
ments have considerably damped the ardor of
the young Austrian officers, who thought they
might within a few days destroy the Sandman
army and occupy and plumber Turin. The
halo which surrounded Radestky was artificial
from the first, and especially manufactured by
German papers. Napoleon is hailed by his
soldiers with enthusiasm, and by the Italians
with camplete madness. If he succeeds in his
campaign and makes a generous use of victory
in favor of Italian independence, he secures
the throne for his dynasty.
We shall soon hear of a great pitched bat
tie, probably within a week. Russia denies
solemnly any alliance with France. Still,
from her e~vasive explanation, we may infer
that she has bound herself to watch Austria
and keep Prussia inactive in case she should
espouse the cause of Austria. The Gar is not
prepared for a great war; but may be easily,
by hostile neutrality, paralyze an Austrian
army, md the Teutonic enthusiasm of Germa-
ny.
AS regards England, Lord Derby is at least
for non-intervention, Prince Albert for inter
%vention in favor of Austria. md Lord Pal
merston for Intervention in favor of France.

Life in the souxh.

A young lady from Pittsfeld, Mass, who is
teaching school on a plantation IN Louisfans,
writes her mother a letter, which is Published,
from which we make a few extracts :
My present abode is a log house; my room
in an exception, it being a rame addition,
rough clap-boarded, and whstewashed within
and without, with a brick fire place and a mud
chimney. One doar has a latch and lock. hut
l never lock it, as I have learned not to fear
the negroes, and we live so far back in the
swamp, that there is no fear Of anything else.
The other door hiss leather hinges and fastens
with It strap The carpet is bagging. My
room has a glass window-the other ROOMS
have a hole with a piece of cotton nailed over
to Keep out the weather, and a tight blind
which is shut at night, and which keeps the
room so dark that one cannot see to wake up,
in the morning.
| took my first ride lest week IN a cart, with
two mules hitched tandem, and a mig for a dri-
yer, there were five of us in the cart; Sam sat
on the thills, occasionally jumping of to give
the mules a kick, by way of giving them an
idea of the propriety of motion, and the niger
sat on one of the poor mules and whipping up
the other, occasionally bringing the lash round
into our faces. If there was a bad place in the
road, he would drive up pretty briskly, and if
we screamed, he would turn round with a grin
and say, Il told you de road was rough" and
whip up again, so that by the time we reached
hone we were pretty much jolted into a heap.
and, to finish up, Sam pulled out the stick that
held the cart, and, before we were aware, was
in the act of tipping up the cart and tumbling
us out like a load of wood. I am twenty miles
from a post office, and the roads almost impas-
sable. 1 write my letters, and trust to provi-
dence for an opportunity to send them.

DECISION IN THE HABEAs COR
PUS CASE.

Monday afternoon last the decision Of the SUI
nell and Langston. TIL result was the remain
ding the prisoners back to the custody of the
the L.. s. authorities, and the affirmation of
the constitutionality of the fugitive slave law
The decision was made by the majority of the
Court-Judges Swan, Peck and Scott concur
ring aud Judges SutIif and Brinkerhof DIS
senting. The Law under which the prisoners
were convicted, and the censtitutionallity of
which the Court passed Judgment upon and
sustained, is an outrage on humanity and jus
tee, and utterly abhorred by the citizens of
the free States generally; and while nc one &C
quainted with the gentlemen constituting the
majority of the Court on this question, will
doubt their honesty and sincerity, it is certain
tain that the decision is not in accordance
with the views entertained by a large proper
ton of the voters of Ohio-though respect for
our Judiciary and its decisions will doubtless
greatly modify expressions Of disappointment
and disapprobation.
Had the Marshal regarded the decision of
the Us. Supreme Court in the Wisconsin flu
gitive slave case, the collision between the Fed
eral and State authorities, Unprecedented by
oners from our State Supreme Court would
have occurred on the issuing of the writ
which that decision made it the duty of the
Marshal to disobey and to resist any attempt
to enforce it. We make the following extract
from the official copy of that decision:
Although it is the duty of the Marshal or
other person holding him to make known by a
proper return the authority under which he de-
tains him, it is the same time imperatively his
duty to obey the process of the United States;
to hold the prisoner in custody under it, and to
refuse obedience to the mandate or process Of any
other GoUernment, And consequently it is du-
ty not to take the prisoner, nor suffer him to
be taken, before a State judge or court upon a
habeas corpus issued under State authority
No State Judge or court, after they are judi
cially. informed that the party is imprisoned I'M
der the authority of the United States, has any
right to interfere with him, or to require him
to be brought before them. And if the au-
thority of a State, in the form Of judicial pro-
cess or otherwise, should attempt to control the
Marshal or other authorized agent of the Uni
ted States, in any respect, in the custody of his
prisoner, it would be his duty to resist it, and
to call to his aid any force that may be neces-
sary to maintain the authority of the law
against Illegal interference. No judicial pro-
cess, whatever form it may assume, can have
any lawful authority outside of the limits of
the jurisdiction of the court Or judge by whom
it is issued; and and attempt to force it beyond
these boundaries is nothing less than lawless
violence"

VIRGINIA

The returns indicate the election of Letcher
by a very small majority. His losses are heavy,
and had the opposition had any idea of their
tory. At the last Presidential election Blu
chanan carried the State by a majority Of
about 10000.
The opposition elect one Congressman
Boteler beating C. J. Faulkner, who like
Letcher was a strong e~mancipationist some
years ago, but is now noted for his ultra pro-
slavery sentiments. Several of the regular
Democratic candidates are beaten by indepen-
dents-and the opposition make considerable
gains in members of Legislature.

THE FATAL DUsL NEAL MoBHE-Young
Wick, who was killed in a duel near Mobile
last week, was d son of Col. Henry Wick, of
Mississippi. His antagonist, james Stith, was
a son os Commodore Stith, of vicksburg. of
the duel a correspondent of the Pieayune
writes
All preliminaries being arranged, and the
weapons placed in the hands Of the belligerents,
the usual command was given. Each gentle
man answered, audibly, ready" At the
word " fire." Mr.. Wick brought his weapon
down and discharged it. At " one" Mr.. Stith

dead? The ball took effect Immediately under
the left cheek, and ranging upward, passed into
the brain, where it lodged-The unfortunate
victim fell, stiffened himself out, and was dead
before his seconds reached him. What a
change! A robust, manly form, vigorous and
healthy "a second, and it lies a bleeding
corpse! There's honor for you"

THE STATE BRASS BAN CoNvENTIoS.-The
Brass Band Convention, held at Mansfield on
the 26th, drew together a crowd of people, es-
timated at some $4,000. The number of
Bands present was less than anticipated. The
music did not seem to be of a sooth-
ing. peaceful character, if the following notice
rom the Sandusky Register be not highly col
ored. 1t says:
Several disgraceful fights occurred, and the
jail being insufficient to accommodate drunken
and disorderly persons arrested, a barn was
brough into requisition for that purpose. In
endeavoring to arrest one Of the rowdies, the
officers were & pitched into by his comrades,
and il the melee the person sought to be arrest
ed was killed."
At 5 P. NJ. the Bands were still playing,
and the music contest undecided.

Death of a ETiser.

The Newark (N.J) Mercury says: On
Tuesday of last week, at his stone house, on tic
Blood6eld turnpike, in the eleventh ward, died
William Patterson, aged so years, a native Of
Scotland, and for the last quarter of a century
known by old and young as the " Swamp Mi,
ser" For years it had been the habit of all
passing his neglected and cherries dwelling to
point out to companions and strangers the res
idence of the miser. and many curious incidents
are mentioned as having occurred in his life
He died, as he had lived, talking of interest
and gain, and surrounded by nothing conducive
to comfort, except such things as had been fur
nished in bis last hours by his %neighbors. He
would have no doctor, though one was procured
against his will, who was asked by the dying
man how much he was going to charge for his
visit, saying he would rather spend the money
for something else. Neither would he have a
clergyman, saying he believed none of their
doctrines. His belief was peculiar. After a
certain number of years he expected to return
to this world a young man, and has amassed
his property with a view to that event, expect
ing to receive it again, with interest, when he
returns. Two nephews, it is said, are his heirs,
and will come in for a large sum. 1t is said by
some that he has a wife and child, who were
driven from his presence years ago, and whom
he would never consent to see. The house in
which he lived, on the east bank of the canal,
is a low, stone building, and the furniture Of
his room consisted of three chairs and three
chests. One of the chairs and one of the
chests made his hedstead, and he lay upon them
without covering, seldom undressing himself,
and was always seen standing, sitting, or lying,
with his hat on his head.

The Wool Market.

The Cincinnati Price Current, June l, SAYS:
The market is quite heavy, and we understand
that agents throughout the interior, who had
contracts for the new clip, have been with
drawn, leading to an unsettled market, and a
downward tendency Of prices. At this point
all the new clip which has arrived has been ta-
her. at 3gtay46c.
T-hedamand for all kinds of wool in the Phil
adelphia market continues limited, and the
market is almost at a stand still the sales be
ing confined to a few small lots, mostly fleece.
within the range of 37(G40c. for common and
good tub, up to 45(d56c. nett, for quarter to
full blood and prime, prices ruling in favor of
buyers, and 29216e. per ID off the rates cur
rent a few weeks ago.
The Detroit 4duert;sef says: The new clip
Of wool is beginning to come in, in small lots
but prices are very indeterminate aud market
unsettled. Buyers are evidently expecting
lower rates, and now not over 40(d45c. for the
best qualities will probably be ohtainable.
The N. Y. Tribune, May 81, says The in
quiry for all descriptions is quite limited, and
prices favor the buyer sales of 5000 lbs.
