PosTNAsTER's FEEs--From remarks which
we frequently hear, says Hal5rooa's United
Stafes Nail, as to the pecuniary value to the
incumbents of our largest postoffices, 1t is
evident that the subject is about as little
understood as any other connected with
postoffice matters. For instance, quite an
intelligent merchant recently insisted. in our
bearing, that the New York Postofice was
worth "all the way from six TO fifteen thou
sand dollars per annum to the postmaster"
The facts are simply these: This matter of
the compensation of postmasters is entirely
regulated and controlled by law. All Off
ces where the commissions amount to 81 900
and upward, are designated as salary offices.
1000 being the NAHUM pay allowed from
that source. and an additional $4,000 to be
taken out of the receipts for box rents
making $4,000 the highest compensation to
any postmaster. A larger sum than this can
not be realized without resorting to acts
made criminal and felonious by laws of Con-
gress, and punishable by the severest pen
allies Even were a postmaster inclined to
take The risk of such penalties, as well as the
ruin of private and official character, such are
the checks and restraints now enforced, that
the "pickings and stealings" which many out
siders so fippantly talk about, are entirely
out of the question. And if it were not so
the indulgence in such practices would in
volve perjury, as a postmaster is required to
make oath that he has kept nothing IRON the
Government in the way of fees or emolu-
ments Of any kind, to which he is not legally
entitled. 1t will thus be seen that The New
York Postoffice with its 238 clerks, III penny
posts, 81. DOC, 900 annual revenue collected.
and its $4,000 bonds, under an honest ad-
ministratiOn of its duties. can not be made to
net much, if any more, than some other Off
ces, with perhaps dozen clerks, few thou
sand collections, and required sureties of
one-fifth the amount

IAN EDITOR CANED."-When will this
faint Indication of a joke wear out? We
think it is about time it had worn out, and
have thought so for several years. Every
time anybody gives an editor walking
stick, half the newspapers in the country
announce the fact under the head of "An
Editor Caned." A great many OF our
enthusiastic friends have long desired to pre-
sent us each with cane, but we have always
discouraged them on this very account. We
don't want to have the name of the Nashville
Patriot mixed up with such a stale joke Col.
MCMAHON, of the Memphis Bulletin, has been
presented with gold-headed cane by some
of the Union men of Hardeman county.

The VIRGINIA "OM. FEvER."-The excite
ment growing out of the discovery of oil in
Virginia continues undated. The Wheeling
Iatelligencer says:
Kanawha River is literally covered with
f1at-boats. and the bOatmen are now on a
strike. They ask two dollars barrel for
taking the grease to Parkersburg. The pro-
ducers are only willing to give dollar and
fifty cents. Lands are leased on both sides
of the Kanawha at enormous rates, the leases
extending from four to five miles into the
interior. The number eegaged in the pro-
duction of oil from Parkersburg to Burning
Springs Run is not less than 900. The oil
is found at from 125 to 225 feet, for which
distance the cost of boreing is abont 81
per foot. Large supplies of barrels are re-
ceived from Baltimore, the slaves for which
are shipped from the country where the bar
rels are now being filled with .'the greasy"
Sub-leases can not be had in the vicinity of
the large producing wells at less than from
one to three thousand dollars.

ExTRAvAGANT FOLLIEs OF A ROMAN PRINCE.
The Paris correspondent of the New Or
leans Picayune says there was much gossip
about the folly of a Roman Prince, an old
bachelor, who has an income of 100000 an
npally. He distributed $40 900 in that city
on New Years day, in the shape of presents
to persons be was acquainted with. He sent
to fifteen of the prettiest actresses note in
pairs of gloves at Boivin's shop, 8 Rue de
Castiglione. Charge to the account of an
admirer of MILE -. (Signed) Prince
Off" He sent thirty ladies presents, not
one of which was of less value than $500,
and the majority of them were worth 81 200.
Several of these presents were returned. for
he was unacquainted with the ladies to whom
they were sent. One lady sent her present
back, with this note: Mad. de can not
have the pleasure of receiving present from
a person she has not the honor of receiving in
her drawing room" The wealthy simpleton
became quite angry and sent the present to
Madame DGche. There was no danger of her
sending it back. He sent gold mounted
opera glass, adorned with diamonds and
nearls, TO Mile Eiile Riquer, of the French
Comedy, with this note: Prince off begs
Mile Edine Riquer, of the French Comedy,
to be so good as to accept this Russian opera
glass, which, having been used yesterday,
duriag the performance of Les Efronts,' in
observing her grace, elegance, and sympa-
thetic beauty. must no longer be directed by
the same hand on another face" OF course
this old man is laughed at for his folly, even
by those who receive his presents.

For the cure of that dreadful disease
Diptheria-Perry Davis Pain Killer is spe-
cific, if resorted to in time. 1t should be
used mixed with water, as gargle. and the
throat bathed with Pain Killer freely. Read
what DR.. Walton writes, which is under date
of Nov. IS, 1860, from Coshocton Co., Ohio:
Il am happy to inform you that the Pain
Killer cures this new disease or sore throat,
that is prevailing to so alarming an extent
in this section of the country. On Walnut
Creek, Holmes county, they use scarcely any
other remedy, and it has never been known
to fail in a single instance. This fact should
be made known to the world"
Letters of a similar nature are daily re-
ceved. The Pain Killer should be in every
house.
