The Post-office Appropriation Bill.

This measure failed to pass finally, some amendments having been offered in the House, which the Senate refused to agree to. The general impression was that an extra session of Congress would be called, perhaps in August, so as to give time for elections to be held in those States where members of Congress have not yet been elected Since then, the Washington Union, which is supposed to be posted, says that no necessity for an extra session ex- ists or will probably exist. By some it is contended that the postmaster general can use the revenues of the department and so keep it alive until Congress meets again. Others contend that he cannot, and if they are right, an extra session is inevitable.

The Rate of State Tax

We had intended saying something on this subject this week, but have not been able to collect all the information on the subject that we desired The Fort Smith Herald copies the spiteful article from the Gazette on the subject, at the risk it says, of having its political orthodoxy question ed. It need not fear, for nobody is fool enough to suppose that it has any to be questioned. In fact the Gazette and Her. aid are so much alike that we do not won- der at their mutually indorsing each other. This sort of going straw bail is much need ed, and is a continuation of the game they have been playing for some time, of
 ''Tckle me Tom, tickle me- do;
 You tickle me and I'll tickle you.''
 The Times also takes ground against the action of the Governor in this case, but we feel assured that when the reasons are giv- en, they will be found satisfactory to the editor of that paper. Meanwhile as every thing concerning our revenue is interesting to the people, we subjoin statement, ob- tained from official sources, of the amount of specie in the treasury. We shall have occasion to refer to it again and show that no vast sums will be locked up in the trea- sury as the result of retaining the State tax at its present rate.

A Dirty Trick.

Both the N. Y. Day Book and News, ask the southern press to call attention to another '.artful dodge" of the N. Y. Tri- bune. Last autumn the abolition mer- chants advertisements were refused admit tance in the Day Book, had the Tribune tc issue a weekly sheet called the " Tribune Mercantile Advertiser Finding that southern merchants would have nothing to do with the dirty thing, it has been altered to the United States Mercantile Adverti ser," and the names of its publishers care fully suppressed.
 It is simply enough to say to our peo pie that none advertise in that sheet but rank abolitionists, who would steal slaves if they had chance, and no doubt swindlt their customers.

r,. r,.o,o..c., survev of Arkansas.


 The Geological Survey of Arkansas
 We frequently receive letters enquiring where copy of Dr. Owens report may be found and how it can be sent. The first report of the survey, or reconnaissance, of the northern counties of the State, was made to the General Assembly, at the late session. It contains the result of examin- ations made in twenty counties; is H. lustrated with numerous plates, wood-cuts. tables and diagrams; affording great deal of information to the man of science, the farmer, and all interested in the develop ment of the vast resources of Arkansas The circulation of this work beyond the limits of the State will have the effect of calling attention to our valuable minerals and the ease with which they may be work ed. The information concerning coal, iron, zinc, lead and potter sclay, will ba found of great value. Already companies have sent agents to examine the localities men, toned in the work of Dr. Owen, and we may expect a rapid increase in the mineral and manufacturing wealth of the country. The work before us is in three parts: the report of Dr. Owen; the chemical report of the ores, rocks, and mineral waters, by Dr. Elderhorst, and the report of Edward T. Cox, assistant geologist. The whole forms volume of 25O pages, octave. John E. Reardon, bookseller of this city, informs us that he will commence binding the vo. lume this week, and will be ready to fill all orders. The work may be procured of him, handsomely bound in cloth, for $l 90. We presume it can be sent by mail Those wishing to send copy to their friends out side of the State, can have it sent from this point.
 We arc anz.ivuo to see this volume ex- tensively circulated, for the more widely and better Arkansas Is known, the higher she will rise in the estimation of the world Our mineral and agricultural resources have scarcely been touched Millions of acres of rich land lie waiting to reward the la bors of the planter and farmer, while our hills and mountains contain vast wealth to be eyielded to the enterprising. The closing chapter of Dr. Owens report should be read by every person wishing to form a fair estimate of the capabilities of our State. He says there, that, in certain ores, she is destined to take the lead of all the western States, and the coal in Johnson county is richer than the most celebrated coals ct Pennsylvania. Those who prefer copy of the volume bound in calf, can obtain it of Mir. Reardon at two dollars a volume. Those who have not received copy of the work would do well to purchase one. The engravings alone are worth the $1 50 charged for the bound volume.

lGS~ A few weeks since we gave an ac- count of a supposed murder of a young man named Lester, by man named Cos grove. The body of the victim was found in the Arkansas river, last week, twelve or fifteen miles below, and brought here to be identified.
 The body was ghastly sight. The head had been cut or crushed in there was a stab under the right ear; the throat wa cut from car to ear, and there was a wound in other parts of the body.
 From his watch, keys and dress, part of which was on the body, as well as from the features, it was recognized as Lester
 A great deal of excitement prevailed on Friday, when the body was brought tc town, and some demonstrations of attack ing the jail and taking out Cosgrove tc hang him were made, but not carried into effect
