The New York Post Office Defalcation.
Up to the latest dates nothing had been seen
or heard of Mr.. Fowler the detailing Post master at
New York.
The Express of Tuesday afternoon, has the fol-
lowing:
Mr.. Fowler has left in his office, letter entire
ly exonerating his deputies and assistants from
any completely in his acts. His most intimate
personal friends say that he is at least five hum
daed miles away, endeavoring to avoid arrest,
til it shall be seen whether no some comprom-
ise can be made with the Administration. 1t
is reported that some wealthy men, who are
warm y attached to Mr.. Fowler, both personally
and politically will willingly come toward to
| make up the deficiency and man alone Of
fers $4,000. Among the thousand rumors and
stories connected with this defacation, is one to
the effect that last week concealment deemed
| no longer possible, and at meeting of Mr.. Fow-
ler's friends it was determined to send on an en-
bassador to Mr.. Buchanan to present to him the
whole case. and in consideration of Mr. Fowler;s
long services to the Democratic party, solicit
mercy Mr. Butterworth was selected for the
task, and proceeded to Washington on Thursday,
No sooner however, had he unfoded the case to the
President than that venerable man, drawing him
sell up in the stern virtue ofthe Roman, said j
tice, sir must be done."-Mr. Butterworth is
said to have telegraphed, 'The old ruaian has

ment of the North Carolina White Sulphur Springs,

up these Springs, and his own enviable reputation
we'll that of Mr.. Tyler is a sufficient guaran

Virginia Watering places when Mr.. Tyler was in
charge we unhesitingly pronounce him we'll
qualified for the place he holds at the North Carroll

These Springs are only one hours ride from the
Western n G. Railroad. The country is high

easier of access and preferable in every respect to
the tashionable and croooded Watering places

not regret it.

Look up, Boys.

Every boy who has brain, muscle and ambl-
ton, in this country, has the world before him
and can make himself whatever he may choose
to, provided his aspirations are tempered by pa
triotsm and virtue. We commend the following
from an exchange to all boys who are now re-
ceiving their g schooling" at hard labor in pur-
suing any of the mechanical branches:
4 Word TO Apprenties-Apprenticesh is the
most important stage of life through which the
mechanic is called to pass 1t Is emphatlcaIy the
spring of his days: the time when he Is sowing
the seed the fruits of which he Is to reap IN after
years. 1t he spare labor IN Its proper Gu tufe,
he is sure of reapng abundant harvest; but IT,,
in the culture of the mental SOIL he tollow the ex-
ample of many III tilling the earth, and careessly
and neglgently does his work, like them he will

PITCHING IN.-Our pious friend of the Beau
fort Journal has not much to say himself about
the schedule affair but he trumpets forth what
Others say in favor of the change with great gus
to. We should think his people would not
thank him for this for while the whole section of
country and every town along the line will suffer
by the change, if made, we honestly believe that
it will work more injuriously to the interests of
Beaufort than any other town on the whole
line, aud this belief has been one of our principal
reasons for opposing it. Let it go into effect and
well see how will affect the pleasure resorts about
Beaufort Harbor before August. But we suppose
that the Journal cares but little how i: affects the
Hotels of that section the travel or the road or
any other interest, SO it can find fault with the
Progress. We hope that we are not jealous OF the
prosperity or influence of any of Gods creatures
We know that we have none but kind wishes for
the Journal. its editor and the people of Beaufort.
