-" S1Ss1pp1 MAIL ~
The Dunleith Adeertissr says it has reliable
intelligence that the Mississippi river mail,
from Galena to St. Paul, has been discontin-
ued by order of the Postmaster General. We
think there must be some mistake in this mat
ter. Hard up as the Administration is for
money, in consequence of its own wasteful ex-
travagance and fragrant corruption, it is not
probable it would venture upon so unjust a
line of policy toward the Northwest. How
ever, we shall know definitely of the truth or
falsity of the report in very short time. T.,

"a The Republicans of Boston and Wash
ington had formal celebrations of the birthday
of Jefferson. 1t is instructive to remark that
no modern Democrat lent the light of his
countenancs to any such celebration, nor do
we hear of the democracy in any section of
the country paying the least attention to the
memory of the man. '.'

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR,-We are Informed that mare

recently found the edge of large pocosin some
seventeen or eighteen miles south of this place. on the
road leading to Floral College, dead. From appear
ances she had been bindoded and knocked in the head
with an axe, as the indentation was visible.
The friend who communicates these facts asks Can
this horse have any connection with the murdered
recently found in the Cape Fear river about Averasbor-
ough? The distance from Averasborough to where the
horse was found is Just about day nights ride
and from appearances the murdered man and the horse
were killed about the same time Can any one recollect
of seeing such animal we have described about the
latter part of April the first of May passing over
any of the roads between Averasborough and Lumber
Bridge? Is there any suspicious person missing from
the neghborhOod of where the murdered man was found
and has any such been the road South of this
towards Cheraw or Lumberton?
We learn that money-belt was found on the MUIR
dered man-but there was no money in it.
We think the circumstance of body of an unknown
man being found in the river calls fora particular state
ment from the Coroner of Harne some one else of

cover the murderer Fayetteville Observer.
