RGg-NAS Huxe.-From n private letter
handed To US bT a friend in this city, who
was the recipient, we learn that-"Some
man unknown attempted TO rob the post
oiHce at MoundsSille. VA, on Friday night,
the 10Th inst, aud was detected 6y some
Government soldiers, whose hctd quarters
are just opposite, caught and false keys
found about his person. They hung him
to tree in front of q house adjoining tue
cfIice. The man hriug unknown, they are
ign rant of how to dispose OF his body.
they knew nothing about him at all, or
from whence he CAME
We find the above in the Pittsburgh Dis
patch Of yesterday. Mouudsvilie is only
twelve miles from here, and it is likely that
if 1t man had been hung. we should have
heard of it. Besides, we don't hang men
in this country for stealing, We haven't
got to that yet.

It is probable that Gen. Mcclellan will en-.

on Norfolk. At the same time a column
of regulars will move from Washington, at

"SPoTs COUNT. Some time ago it was
announced that the face Of the sun was par
TALLY obscured by spots, and some of them
were estimated to be as large as the planet
on which we live, and it was said if this
phenomenon was of long duration, the order
of the seasons would be disarranged or
broken up, and winter would literally singer
in the lap of spring." and summer never
come. We then scoffed and sneered at the
prediction, but now we mourn the prospect
of its fulfllment. The "spots" seem to be
CONCEALED oceans, and the only effect of the
sun upon them is continual drenching OF
ice water from their sides on the miserable
inhabitants of this planet. The 6tful rays
we get from old Sol, are as cold as moon.
beams, or evangelical charity in fashionable
churches, and vegetation can no more thrive
under them than in cellar. We have had
no warm days this season-the sun is noth-
ing but mock sun, and we are reluctantly
compelled to confess, with DR.. Foster and
Col. Sproat, that "spots count"-every

HORACE GREELEY TO SPEAK AT OUR
NEXT STATE FA1R.-It is announced in
Ford's Farmer and Gardener, that Horace
Greeley will deliver an address at the next
State Fair. Mr.. Ford innocently hopes
"the show of Minnesota products may be
worthy of good notice in the Tribune"
We hope they may also, but if they should
fail to get the aforesaid notice, we should
be in an awful condition. The following is
Greeley's letter:
NEW YORK, May Is, 1861.
DEAR SIR,-Ihave yours of the 9Th to-day.
l wrote yesterday to j. H. Baker, (who,
think, was your predecessor) saying that l
will speak in Minnesota for the literary sOcie.
ties that might choose to hear me in Septem-
Der, closing with visit to your State Fair.
l write now only to say that, If in health, l
hope to visit Minnesota this autumn, and to
speak at your Fair. Mr.. Baker, l presume,
will consult you before making appointments
for me, and make them in subOrdinatiOn to
the arrangements for your Fair:
Yours, HORACE GREELEY.

No DANGER.-There will soon be from
1900 to 1900 troops at the four forts within
this State-besides nearly 1000 more that
could be got into the field in three or four
days. This fact should be remembered by
those who are continually endeavoring to
excite a panic about our unprotected
frontier" an "Indian raid" &c. There
never was time when there was less posi-.
bility or probability of such contingency,
and the croakers and panic makers should
be in better business.
