REPLY


MIR. POSTMASTER OF LYNCuBURG, VA.-Sir
l take leave to assure you that shall do
nothing of the sort. The subscribers to the
Tribune in Lynchburg have paid for their
papers; we have taken their money, and shall
fairly and fully earn it, according to contract
Ii Mey direct us to send their papers to some
other post office, we shall obey the request !;
otherwise, We shall send them as originally
ordered. If you or your masters choose to
steal and destroy them, that is your affair, at
all events, not ours and if there is no law in
Virginia to punish the larceny, so much the
worse for her, and our plundered subscribers
If the Federal Administration, whereof you
are the tool, after monopolzng the business
of mail carrying, sees fit to become the ac-
complice and patron of mail robbery. sup
pose the outrage must be borne until more
honest and less servile rulers can be put into
high places at Washington, or till the people
can recover their natural right TO carry each
others letters and printed matter, asking no
odds of the Government. Go ahead in your
own base way. | shall stand steadfast for
human liberty and the protection of all nat
ural rights Yours stiffiy,

TIE EXTREMES On the day Old Brown
was executed, his efiigy was hung up in St
Louis, to the gaze of the citizens. A large
and excited crowd, says the Herald of that
city, gathered about the scaffold, indulging
in exultation. The effigY hung there nearly
half the day. On the same day, in fremont
Temple, Boston, was a likeness OF John
Brown, copied from the last photograph
taken of him. 1t was surrounded by cross
and around the whole was wreath of ever
green and amaranth.

A correspondent of the Bulletin writing

A correspondent of the Bulletin writing
from Panama, says:
The Christmas holidays passed off with the
usual religious mummeries and ceremonies
the most stupid and foolish of which was a
representation of Christ entering the city of
Jerusalem on dilapidaed burro, a hook in
the top Of the saddle holding the efgy in its
place while two negroes, one behind and one
before, were endeavoring to steady the figure,
which was balancing backward and forward,
like the monkey-mounted puppets one sees
sometimes at Naples in Carnival.

"PLAYING PossUM."-A Washington cor.
respondent of the Cincinnati Commercial
writes thus;
The Republicans are under great restraint.
There are conservative, and moderate, and
ultra Republicans, who differ radically about
the policy to be pursued. Thus far the ul-
tras have been quiet. Lovejoy Hutchins,
and other Northern iire-eaters, were quiet
the other day, while Tom Corwn declared
that the Republican party was for the fugi-
tive slave law. AS soon as an organization
is effected, all these moldering fires will burst
forth.

TINS poor fling from the Richmond En-

what lengths passion and prejudice may

TO write poetry without the inspiration,

crate and wiful ISLANDERS of a whole people
is degree of infamy from which we had
hoped the poetaster would be restrained"
If the author of this miserable sneer is
honest, he either never read the poetry of
Bryant or he hasn't mind enough to recog-
nize poetry when he sees it. If he isn't a
