Weayerville, Saturday, Feb. II, 1865:

The WEAyERyILLE AND HuNBoLDT MAL.-Mr
b. Pouleur has been performing the mail service
between this place and Big Flat, on the above
route for ten months past, and without remu-
neration. The Special Agent for this coast has
informed him that he has no authority to pay for
the service, the original contractor-Mr. Denny
having abandoned his contract. 1t now seems
that there is q probability of the route being re-
opened by Mr. Denny ". Whelan, Esq, now
at Arcata, writes to Mr. Pouleur that the Depart
ment at Washington refuse to pay Mr.. Denny 5
claims on the ground that he has not performed
the service. There has been no danger from In
dians on the route for several months, and as the
winter is over, we can see good reason why
the route should not be re-opened. Humboldt
people are aware that in the summer season the
telegraph TO Weavervlle places them within for
ty-eight hours communication with San Francis
60. BY the establishment of the Indian Reser-
ration at Hoopa Valley that place must necessa-
riy become a permanent military post, where
u large number of soldiers and others will re-

lector of United States Revenue, is defauter in

cencv. and he had hopes that an extra appropri-
alton would he made by Congress. The law
allows him $40 600 in currency to defray the
whole expense of his office, salary included, but
it was not enough. His bondsmcn have been
notified of the matter and it is not at all lmprob-
able but that all will be made right again. No
one charges Patch with any misrepresentation Of
MONEYS He has exceeded his authority in re-
gard to disbursements. Outside of his salary 1t
is estimated that his perquisites united amount
to 81 900 in currency in the sale of stamps and
the issuance of distraint warrants. The affair,
however. creates considerable excitement

GEN. BLAIR ON THE RADICALS.
General Francis P. Blair. of MISC

General Francis p. Blair, of Missou-
ri, was one of the founders of the So
called Republican" party, and acted
a prominent part in bringing out Gen.
Fremont as the first candidate of that
party for President, in 1856. He was
frequently elected to Congress, as the
nominee of that organization and was
universally regarded as one of its most
able and influential leaders. He was
the bosom friend of the late President.
and it was through his influence that
Gen. Schofield was retained in COM
mand in Missouri, despite the plotting
OF the Radicals for his removal. He
was, also, one of Sherman's bravest
and most skilful generals, having great
ly distinguished himself during the
campaigns of that officer. But Gen.
Blair finds it impossible to continue his
connection with the Republican" par
ty. He cannot stand Negro Suffrage
and the other modern heresies of that
organization. Hence, like an honest
man, he has dissolved his former rela-
tions with that party, and is now ac-
lively engaged in caJlvassing for the
conservative Democracy. From re-
cent speech deliver ed by the General,
we quote the folio wing palpable hits:
''It is thrown 'dp to us that the pres
ent is rebel Democratic movement.
The name does not scare me. | have
fought side by side with Democrats du-
ring the last four years, and would
rather keep company with them than
with those who were rebels at first and
turned Radicals afterwards because the
emoluments of office lay in that direc-
ton.
''Gen. Sherman is a fair illustration
of what Radicals can do. After his
great campaign which resulted in the
overthrow of the rebellion and the sal
vatiOn of the country, Stanton sought
to destroy him because he feared that
he himself might be overshadowed by
the worthy fame of the great cOmman-
der. 1t was the Radical Directory of
France recalling the victorious NapO-
leon. He returned to cover his enc
mics with eternal Shame.''
