The PosT OFFICE.-The NetD York Eren-
ing Post is strongly in favor of abolshing
the government monopoly Of transmitting
the correspondence of the people. After al
luding to the great saving, both to the gov
ernment and the people, which would thus
be made, it adds
''There is another advantage to be derived from
surrendering the mails to the private expresses
The expresses would be responsible for every dol
lar of money and every article of value committed
to their char5e The post office department is
not. If the government appoints a postmaster
who is rogue, or makes a bargain with dishOn-
est mail contractor, and he steals the money en-
closed in our letters, there is redress. Great
as cur loss may be, the government, whose agents
we were compelled to trust and who have robbed
us, makes no restitution Private expresses are
subject to a different rule. The government is
above the law and SCOTS at the idea of making
compensation to the injured person; public ex-
presses are compelled hy law to make good any
losses we may suffer from the infdelity of their
agents.
Then again, the expresses more punctual
than the government mails. In thousand in
stances the expresses outrun and distance the
mails. The expresses depend for success on their
reputation for availing themselves of the most
rapid means of communication, and delivering
letters and parcels with the greatest exactness; ;
the government has no such inducement to exer-
ton and vigilance. Whether it perform its work
well or i'll, we must employ it to carry our let
ters.
To speak the truth respecting the post Office de-
partment, it is, regarded simply from a financial
point OF view, spendthrift device, most expen-
sive folly. Fifteen millions of dollars are paid
annually to work this awkward and unsatisfactory
machinery, and only eight millions of dollars are
received back; so that we lose millions a
year by engrafting this excrescence upon our gov
ernment, in imitation of the practices of Europe.
This monopoly of the mails is such an intrusion
upon the province of individual enterprise, and
as foreign to the proper functions of government
as the monopoly of salt and tobacco which some Of
the governments of Europe have seized into their
hands We dare say there persons in certain
parts OF the old world who, by force of habit,
can as little form an idea of government without
the monopoly of salt and tobacco as some of those
in this country whom we call statesmen can form
an idea Of government without post office de-
partment-"

1t is stated that an agent Of the Douglas
party in Illinois is now in Washington with
sixty thousand dollars, to be expended in Sc
curing the nomination of Douglas at Charles
ton. Do his friends expect that this will
counterbalance the sixty millions of patron
age at Mr.. Buchanan's disposal?
CoRRUPT1oy-A Mr.. Megargee, of Phila
delphia, last Saturday testified, before the
Printing Investigation Committee of the Sem
ate, that he had received between four and
five thousand dollars from Mr.. Wendell. in
1856, for the purpose of organizing a third
party in Pennsylvania, and thus securing it
for Mr. Buchanan. The money was applied
to that object.

STEVENS AND HAZLETT sENs
TENCED

Stevens and Haslett were sentenced at
Charlestown, Va. on the 14th, to be hung on
March 16. When placed at the bar tbs
clerk having asked the prisoners if they had
anything to say why sentence should not Be
passed upon them, both responded that they
had.
Stevens then said: MAY it please the Court,
have few words to say. Some Of the testimony
| given against me was untrue. One Of the witnesses
stated that said, 'Let kill the of and
| burn the town" To those who know me it is use
| less to make denial of this charge, but deny
here, before God and man, ever having made such
a proposition. l wish 10 say I entirely satis-
! fed with nv counsel Mr.. Sennott I think he
| did all in his power in my behalf. desire also to
return nv thanks to the officers who have had
! charge of me for their universal kind treatment,
| and 10 nv physician for the services rendered me
while suffering from my wounds. When I think
| Of my brothers slaughtered and my sisters out
| ragged my conscience does not reprove me for my
actions. I shall meet my fate manfully."
This reference is understood 10 be 70 the treat
ment of his Northern brethren and sisters during
the Kansas broils.
Hszlett then spoke as follows: al have few
words tn say. L am innocent Of the charge on
which have been convicted. deny ever having
committed murder, or ever having contemplated
murder or havin- associated with any with
such intentions. Some Of the witnesses have sworn
to things which deny, ami which were positively
false. For instance in reference to nv beard;
have never in my life, until my imprisonment in
Jail allowed my beard TO go than three weeks
without shaving, and all testimony therefore as to
the length Of my beard is false. Again, Mr.. Cope
land testified that sitting a stool when
be entered the cell at Carlisle; this deny:
sitting a blanket back against the wall, and an
other he stool. Copeland also said
there only two men in the cell; this is false,
as there were four other white men in the cell
with me, and we comprised all the white prisoners
in the jail. Others Of the witnesses made false
statements but forgive them all. have been
treated kindly since my cenfnement-much bet
ter than expected-and must say think bet
ter Of Virginia. I wish also to return my thanks
TO the counsel who have 20 ably defended me; they
have done more in my behalf than northern coun-
sell could possibly have done. repeat, am in
nocent of murder, but am prepared to meet my
fate"
The Judge after some remarks proceeded to
sentence each of them to be hung publicly on
Friday, the 10th day of March next, between
the hours of 10 o'clock A. NJ. and 2 O'Clock
P. NJ.

Correspondence Of the Commercial Advertiser
ERUPTION OF VESUvIUS.

NAPLES, Jan. Sd, IeOU.
Having determined t. ascend Mount Vesu-
vius and witness, on the spot, the eruption
commenced during the past week, we started
for Kesina, from which place the ascent is
usually made
On our arrival there, we found awaiting
us four sturdy steeds, and half dozen hardy
guides who were 10 accompany US up the
mountain As there were but four persons
in our party. besides our trusty courier, we
very naturally concluded that this force
would be all that we should require We
found. however, that as we advanced tho
number of assistants increased, and before
wa rooohed the top. we had an es-
cort of thirteen men, six horses, two sedan
chairs, and two hungry looking ours. When
we had ascended about wothirds OF the dis
tance to the new crater. We were obliged to
dismo. mt from our horses, place the ladies
upon chairs, and follow the guides over a
trackless extent of lava, which has become
hard, and which presented all kinds of rough
edges and sharp points. Over these we were
obliged to scramble as best we could, at one
moment dragging ourselves up steep height,
and at the next jumping into hole upon
the sharp lava. Path there was none, and
as far as the eve could reach, the huge mass
es of lava were piled around in wild confu-
sion The eight men who carried the two
ladies of our party. being accustomed to this
kind of work, managed to sustain each other
by yoking themselves together.
By dint of hard struggling, we finally
reached the new crater, which is now filed
to the brim with boiling mass of red hot
lava, pouring over in solid stream on the
opposite side from which we stood As we
approached this spot, the heat was so intense
that we were forced TO hold screens before
our persons in order to endure it, On arriv
ing within a few PAGES from the verge of this
fearful cauldron, we saw far beneath us,
through crevice, the burning lava in red
hot state while the heat penetrating our
heavy boots, caused our feet to smart by its
intensity. Our guides soon led us away
through the less dangerous sections of this
fiery furnace. and as we passed along, the
treacherous lava cracked and crumbled under
us.
Regarding ''the disturbed state Of the
country | would here remark that although
l have travelled a great part of the way by
land from Nice to Naples, and have spent
nearly three months on the route, have seen
no signs of disturbance.
The Tuscans say that since the Grand
Duke has been driven from Tuscany, they
have had better government and much less
discord than ever they had before.
