Washington. March 7.-Horatio King
will probably be appointed second assis-
tant Postmaster General.
The appointment of John j. Critten-
den to one of the vacant seats on the
Supreme Bench is warmly favored by
Senator Sumner and others. They take
the position that his appointment will be
q peace-offering to the Border States and
significant of Mr.. Lincoln's regard for
the South. Senator Trumbull and others
oppose Mr.. Crittenden's appointment
bitterly. ,-..
1t is understood that Mr. Lincoln is de-
termined to present no appointment
which will have tendency to divide the
party. ~
ST. Louis, Mo-. March Among the
resolutions submitted to the Convention
to day, was one for the appointment oil
q committee to confer with the border
States concerning the best means fol
keeping the Western States in the Con
federacy, declaring secession q political
heresy, and that there is no excuse for
coercion, and Missouri will not furnish
men or arms for that purpose; that the
Federal Government be requested to
withdraw theiritroops from, and surren-
der the Custom houses and other offices
in the seeding States, to those States,
and that National Convention be called
on the basis of the Crittenden resolu-
tions. af-

INDIAN AGENCY IlUNT.-Thc Red Bluff Mde-
pendent has the following amusing statements:
There has been quite a game Of hide andgo
seek between the out going aud incoming Indian
Superintendent Of the Northern District Of Cali
fornia. 1t appears that the old agent draws pay
until there is formal presentation OF credentials
by the new appontee. and n delivery by the
present incumbent Mr.. Hanson, some time
since, went to Nome Lackee Reservation for the
purpose of taking possesson but on his arrival,
learned that Major Dreibilbis was at Klamath.
Post haste he went to Klamath but the bird
again had flown, and was at Trinity river-ho f.!
for Trinity-but the Major again avoided the new
appointee, and where next he will turn up is a
mystery which the new agent would like TO un-
ravel. We propose that Mr.. Hanson commence
trapping for the wary Major-it is the only way
he can catch him.

ACCIDENTS IN THE MGNEs- Mining is business
that should be carried on systematically, and re-
quires perhaps as much care and attention, in
order to be made profitable, as most any other
kind Of employment, and when men engage Ia
1t, they should do so understandngly, and pro
vide accordingly to shield themselves from the
many dangers and disadvantages TO which they
will necessarily be exposed aud not rush reck-
essly aud illy equipped into business of so
much Importance. When course Of this kind
may not only prove Improbable to them in a
pecuniary point Of view, but be the means by
which they may be deprived OF their lives at a
time when they least expect IT, little wise coun-
sci. and an expenditure Of a small amount OF
money in ludioious matter, by those hardy sons
who toll from day to day IN our mines, would
frequently save many one OF them from pre-
mature grave, aud their dear cues who cluster
around the family altar from life Of desllu!ion
and grief AHlddOr Ledger.
