The Post Office Department has conludedes
an arrangement with Com. Vanderbilt for the
transportation of the mails from New York
to Southampton from April Is November
Steamers are to start on alternate Saturdays on
this side, and ON Wednesdays from the other
side TIE compensation is to be sea and inland
hostages.
From all that can be learned, it is not unsafe
to say that, if the statements relative to Sir
VIM. Ousely's alleged action in Nicaragua are
correct, he has violated not only his own in
structions but the solemn understanding be-
tween the British government and the US.
If the facts are as stated, the President, it
is said, Notwithstanding the refusal of Congress
to eranthim extraordinary powers to protect the'
rights and property of citizens of the United
States; exact a conformity with whatever may
have been the stipuiations between the two
Governments respecting Ousley's ms sion.
The recent outrage on the vessels of the At

tional vessel will be despatched to Nicaragua.

Reaction

The wild Juror against President Buehanan,
says the Genius Of Liberty, is beginningto re-
act, and men of ali parties fTeelyaecord to him
honesty of motive, frmness of purpose, and
unquestfoned patriotism. The Wild waragainst
General jackson ended the same way in a uni
versal acknowledgement that in the great mea-
sures of his administration he was right. 1t
required his own Roman frmHess and iron will
to stem the current of opposition that assailed
him, and those leading traits i,nmortalized their
possessor and added untold blessings TO thc
country. We had not expected the reaction
SO soon in favor of Buchanan, but it Is coming.
The signs are everywhere apparent, and we
doubt not it will be as universal and ~effeettai as
10 the case of Old Hickory. The whole country,
will, ere long award praise and honor to Presi-
dent Buchanan and his able, just and patriotic
administration

The Gold Regions of kansas.

We are content to let experimentation it
will be too-work out the golden problem of
Western Kansas. We are prepared to hear of
scenes of destitutiona and blood unparalleled in
the history of mans mad rush for gold, but as
far as encouragement of this wild exodus is
concerned, it is useless to talk, for every town
ship gives upIts dozens, every village it's score,
and every city its hundreds, to. swell this excl
ted current of seekers after sudden wealth.
The Chicago Press of the 18th gives ii col
umn of information derived from Mr.. CHARLES
NICHOLS, a Buckeye, now on his return from
Kansas to Ohio. Mr.. NICHOLS was of the ear
hest Lawrence party and followed the Della
ware Indians direction, who pointed, with a
grunt, to the West, and said '.Ifcic sans; heap
gohd." The party followed the Santa Fe road
to Bents Fort, and thence towards Pih-'e Peak,
+utong the Arkansas, to Boiling Greek, and up.
that stream TO the mountain, where they arriy-
ed on the 4th of July, 1858.
This party prospectcd along Cherry Creek,
discovering gold dust; they went as far as it's
confluence with the head waters of the South
Platte, and prospectcd around there for a month.
finding fine gold in limited quantities. Some
of the boldest of the party went to Middle
Peak, then to Longs Peak, and at several
places found traces of gold, returning again to
Cherry Creek. During their absence, the
party left behind washed out in the Cherry,
Creek valley two to three dollars a day each,
not finding gold sufficient to pay for their labor.
About the lst ofSept., '5S, the party struck
Tor New Mexico, met a Georgia party, which
SONG of NICHOLS men joined, and returned
to Pixies Peak and Cherry Creek. The balance
Of the party. after getting a supply of provis-
ions liz New Mexico, returned by a more west
erly route, following the head waters of the
Arkansas, along the base of the Rocky Noun
fains, NATL they struck the Platte, thence down
to the old spot on Cherry Greek.
Daring this trip, extending over 800 miles
North and South, so miles East and West, golpI
was found in limited quantities. 1t was all
dust, and difficult to separate from the dirt.
Dir: NicHoLs then, in October, finding the
rush from the States waa coming on, turned
Lot Spectator. He says that those who pros
between October and mid winter aver
only from fifty cents to a dollar a day,
and he docs not believe the mining will pay.

What Democratic Postmasters should

Every Democratic postmaster throughout the
county should use his endeayors to circulate
Democratic newspapers, instead of assisting to
get up clubs for such papers as the New York
Tribune, and other black Republican papers.
Any man that holds an Office from the Demo
cratic party, and will assist in circulating weap-
ons that do all they can to overthrow the Demo-
cratic party should be removed from Office
instanter- If repu blicans make up clubs for
their organs and their papers come to the Office
with the names of the subscribers written upon
it, let it be distributed as cheerfully as a Demo-
-~--tse-rrPer. But If there Is nc name aPea
thsm LET the law be fulfilled and the papers
that baNe no names written upon them thrown
among the waste papers of the Office No man
can be a good Democrat that assists in getting
up Clubs for papers that are enemies to the
Democratic party. And we repeat, that if any
z. NJ. or his deputies assist in any manner in
getting up clubs for the opposition journals,
their heads should come off and we will do all
in our power to have them taken of. If the
Democracy were not In power there is not a
post Office in the whole Union that would have
a Democrat in it Let Democratic postmasters
remember that He that labors not for the
Democratic party Iabons against it [adk
