SANDER,

Against slander there is no defence
He'll caunot boast SO fo,.l fend nor man
deplOre so fell a foe; it stamps with word,
with nod, with shrug, with look, With
smile 1t is the pcstilence walking in
the darkness, spreading contsgion far and
wide, which the most wary traveller can't
avoid ii is the heart searching dagger of
the dark assassin; it is the poisoned ar
row whose wound is incurable; it is the
mortal sting of the deadly adder; murder
its employment; innocence its prey-and
ruin its sport. Its foundation is in envy,
jealousy, and disappointed ambition, Its
heralds are found in all sects, in every
community. The slaadarer is vindicitive,
malicious-a cowardly insinuating demon
worse than a murderer.

a Laughable Story.

The Mobile Register is responsible for
the following mirth- provoking incident:
Fer twenty-three years, old Jake VIII
lard has cultivated the soil of Baldwin
county, and drawn therefrom support for
himself and wife He is childless. Not
long ago Jake left the house in search ola
missing cow. His route led him through
an old worn out patch Of clay land, Of
about SIX acres in extent, in the centre OF
which was well. twenty-five or thirty feet
deep, that at some time probably had fur.
nished the inmates Of dilapilated house
near By with water, In passing by this
spot, an i'll wind lifted Jakes tile from
his head, and maliciously waited it to the
edge Of the well, and in it tumbled
Now Jake had always practised the vir-
tue of economy, and he Immediately set
about recovering his hat He ran to the
well, and finding it was dry at the bottom,
he uncoiled the rope which he had brought
for the purpose of capturing the truant
COW, and after several attempts to catch the
hat with a moose, he concluded to save
time by going down into the we'll himself.
To accomplish this, he made fast one end
Of the rope to stump hard by, and was
quickly on his way down the we'll
1t is fact, Of which Jake was no less
oblivious than the reader thereof, that Ned
Wells happened to be in the old dilapida-
ted building aforesaid, and that an old
blind horse, with bell on his neck, who
had been turned out to die, was Iazily gra-
zing within short distance of the well.
The devil himself or some other wicked
spirit put it into Neds cranium to have
little fun, so he quietly slipped up to the
horse, and unbuckling the bell-strap ap-
preached with slow measured ting-a. ling

Dang that old blind horse said Jake,
he's a-comin this way sure, and amt cot
no more sense than to fall in here. Whoa,

But the continued approach of the ting

at the bottom, resting, before trying to
shin it up the rope.
Great Jerusalem said he, the old cuss
will be atop of me before l can say Jacl,
Robinson. Whoa dang you, ,ohoa.'
just then, Ned drew up to the edge Of
the we'll, and with his foot kicked little
dirt into it.
'Oh, Lord? exclaimed Jake, falling up
on his knees at the bottom. 'Pm gone

Ned could hold in no longer, and fear
tul that Jake might suffer from his fright,
revealed himself.
Probably Ned did not make tracks with
his heels from that we'll. Maybe Jake
wasn't up to the top of it in short order,
and you might think he didn't try every
night for two weeks to get shot with his
rifle at Ned. Maybe not. I don't know

DEPARTMENT REPORTS.
United States Treasury Report,

4 few facts cuiled from this document
may illustrate the delightful condition OF
things on the 30th of June, 1860. The
permanent national debt was s45,019 ,2O3-.
OS. and the outstanding treasury notes sl9,-
500, 800, making together S64, ,769, ,105 50
as the net result of Nj Cobb.s tju&ering.
The deficiency Of estimated means for the
service Of the fiscal year ending June so
1861, is S2,S76,S34 3d. The Secretary
tells US in his report that already the treas
ury has been seriously affected by the co4,-
mercial reyulsion; that the limited amount
received is composed each day OF an in
creased proportion CT Treasury notes not
yet due and the indications arc that such
will, at least tor the present, continue to
be the case and in consequence oI the
failure Of bidders for the late loan to COM
ply with the terms of their bios, a portion
OF the ordinary revenues has been with
drawn from the ordinary sources OF expen-
dlture to meet the payment of Treasury
notes past due, aud the interest thereon;
and, finally, that the early action Of Con-
gress will be required TO enable the Depart
ment 10 carry on the operations Of the
Government, and at the same time preserve
tn public credit unimpaired
Report of the Postmaster General.
This prodigious document abounds Sc
much in statistics, that it is exceedingly
difficult to endorse its substance into ali alb
stract. On the 30,h Of June last, there
were in operation S,502 mail routes. estl-
mated at 240 ,594 miles in length, OF which
miles 27 ,129 were by railroad, 1876 by
steamboat, 54,577 by coach, and 1892
by inferior modes The number Of contrac-
tors was 7445. There has been decrease
Of 9,458 miles in length of the mail
routes, but this is made up Of reduction
of S,464 miles in the length OF coach
| routes, and 4,233 in the steamboat routes,
while the length of railroad routes has ia
creased ,ll9 miles There are in the ser
vice 40 local agents, l, GAO mail messengers,
and 66 railroad baggage masters. The
| number of Postmasters appointed during
the year is 6,555, of which |, lao were by
the establishment OF new post -otfecs.--.
Whole number of post-ofices in the Union,
90, ,552. AS usual, there is an enoTIpoua
deficiency in this department, reaching
S., 1866, ,705 40 as the excess of expendi-
lures over the revenue for 1860, and for
the ensuing year deficiency of 81, ,5GG, 600
is figured out by the Postmaster General,
which, in all probability, will be far below
the real fact. The revenues increase very
gradually, while the expenditures go up
much more rapidly. The Postmaster Gen.
eral has much to say about his experiments
with the penny post, and he recommends
the repeal of the provision Of the act
of last session, and that the Departments
shall have authority 10 collect such postage
on all letters delivered by carriers as shall
be deemed necessary to compensate them
for the service, provided that it shall not
exceed two cents per letter. He thinks
the result of the experiment, under all the
difficulties encountered, very gratifying,
and advocates the support of the private
expresses.

When faded by the tolls oflife-
The anxious care and petty strife
That every day surround me;
How W ct TO leave such ills behind.
And seek repose TO wearied mind,
By straying through those woods so wild,
And feeling once more like a child
With dog and gun beside me
Though many days have passed away
And time and care have made me gray
Still my youthful sports delight me;
And all the scenes of other days,
A.. My possum hunts and school. boy phys,
Come often fresh 10 me again,
Reviving me as SUMMER rain
Reviyes the plants around me.
And now and then some soothing chime
Rolls back for me the wheel of time;
And there. she stands before me!
The sweetest girl | ever knew
With heart as pure as morning dew.
With all the charms of sweet sixteen
More lovely than an eastern queen,
The very girl thai bound me.
All! bound me heart and hand for life,
Because she is so good a wife
And boon companion for me.
Her worth now makes me prize her more
Than ever beauty did before;
And all the wrinkles on her brow,
But make me love her better now
As years come stealing DER me.
