had hoped, after publishing Card in reply to
the article in the Raleigh Register that there the
matter would end. l published the Card in simple
justice to myself though the Editor seems to think
that the Postmaster, like the Irishman, wants any
thing but justice. Now would advise any one who
may want that article called injustice if he will call
on the Virginia Editor he can get it in Gospel mea-
sure, "prcSsed down and running over''
Mr. Syme speaks of my Card as being coarse and
presumptuous. 1t is well known that writing for
newspapers is not my business. have endeavored
to discharge my duty to the best of my ability,
fearless of what might be said by officious persons
outside and | think if the Editor of the Register
would attend to his business in the same way, with
out manfestng so much concern about the neon-
renicnccs of the, dear people, among whom be has
so lately pitched his tent he would be more profit
ably exercised
The Register does me great injustice by publish
ing the mail arrangements from the Democratic
Press advertised while the cars from the West and
North arrived here at the same time. The eastern
mail then closed at 3 o'clock it now closes at Al
| o'clock, P. NJ. So the injustice is apparent.
Mr.. Syme says mistakes will occur in every Office.
Surely not in the Register Office, where every thing
is so securely packed and directed! We have not
only the word of the Editor, but that of my illus
trous predecessor" to prove the fact Capital au-
thority with Mr.. Syme now that that once-was Of
fetal could close tie eastern mail in ten minutes
work which it will take two clerks half an hour to
perform He could no doubt tell the difference be-
tween prospect Hall" and Prospect HILL"

night by gaslight.

repent and be speedily rewarded. Tell us, Mr..

The WINE CRoP.-Mr R. Buchanan, of Cincin-
natl in letter to the St. Louis Horticultural Socie-
ty, says the vintage of 1859 near Cincinnati will be
the largest since 1853. The average yield will be
about four hundred gallons to the acre, although
some vineyards will produce six or eight hundred
gallons to the acre. Within twenty miles around
Cincinnati it is estimated the crop will amount to
eight hundred thousand gallons. So that the wine
crop of Ohio the present year may be safely stated
at over one million of dollars in value :

~ The Murfreesborough Citizen, in its notice
of Judge Douglass recent essay on popular sover-
engty makes the following pointed and just observa
tions:
"The blind sentiment Of hero-worshp, malignly
effective as it has been always found in subscribing
the purposes of despotism has no recognized place
IN the American Democratic heart and should even
the most gallant of our leaders," the noblest
Roman of them af"-turn conspirator, and forget
his featy to his party in visions of his own personal
promotion, he would be forthwith hurled, like an
other Lncief, to the utmost depths Of the political
Hades, and be buried there forever under an ava
lanche of indignant and undying scorn. In Demo-
cracy there is no Autocracy; and no Democrat
hoNsoever foremost in prowess and peerless in
counsel he may be, can assume to dictate to the
party, and to ask that the mountain shall come to
Mahomet. The Democratic Church has no Pope
The People are taken as the source alike of poti-
cal power and of political doctrine. 1t is not the
DEGREES of President Or Secretary Senator, that
determine or interpret the Democratic creed, but
the legal and regularly constituted Conventions of
the Democratic party. To that quarter we look for
the authentic settng-forth of our tenets and our
policy; confident that any apparent deviatons they
may see fit to make from the ancient landmarks of
our faith, are made in wise spirit of compromise
and Cancellation, and involve no real sacrifice of
principle"

"Mr Butts, who takes the horse mail from Enfield
by this Office tRingwooD back to Enfield again has
carried it regularly for forty-six years. missing in
the whole time but one regular day, and then the
officer refused to deliver the mail to him. account
of the storm that raging, he taking it the next
day. Yes, through hail. rain and shine, forty-six
years. this old man has faithfully performed his dl-
ty, often having to leave his horse, and, with his
mail on his head, wade streams and "coon" it over
logs to be in tne lying by only one day in the time
himself when he says he believes that he was sick,
and sent his son to ride for him.
With his hoary head, snowy beard and little grey
seed, to one acquainted with the circumstances the
old man presents quite picturesque appearance;
and had We here some able chiscl or pencil to take
his verlSemblancc in his semi-wcekly round, would
make III appearance at least very fit subject to
place alongside of "Old Mortality" If we had a
Thorn to execute the work, statue of the old We
teran with his term of service annexed, would be a
very appropriate establishment to the postofficc de-
partment
On one occasion since making his acquaintance,
his horse being sick the hearty old fellow, true to
time made his appearance whipping and squirting
on little donkey. The effect was equal to the
grand entrec in circus and the old fellow ocularly
/ remarked that :" it seemed to him the very woods
were laughing at him as he rode along" He fooled
the donkey but one round, however, being too old,
he said to furnish motive power sufficient to send
the craft ahead
If Mr. Butts be not the veteran in his particular
line of service, should like to hear of the one who
takes precedence of him.
