The Postmaster of Richmond is, we
suppose, Fenian or a Fireman, and ii
is owing, perhaps, to his absence in
Philadelphia, that his post-office is in
such state of confusion. Letters mail
ed here on the 18th and 10Th instants
reached Richmond on Monday, and this
is nothing new. We know the fault is
in Richmond and we trust the Postmas-
General will stir up the people with a
sharp stick. What is the reason that
our paper, which reaches the Richmond
post-otfice at 8 o'clock p. NJ, is kept
back until the following morning.

MORE "REMINISCENCES OF MR.. DAvIss
FLIGHT.

A New York correspondent of the
New Orleans Picdyune, who signs him.
self Antelope furnishes that paper with
some very pathetic, but rather doubtful,
"reminiscences of the flight of Mr.. Davis
from the fallen Capital of the Confede-
racy. The correspondent alludes to the
reported capture of Davis's treasure,
and says it is well known that the fugi-
tive President was in actual penury,
and had no treasure to be captured ;
that the bullion recovered belonged to
the banks of Richmond and New Or
leans. We doubt not that the funds
belonged to those banks, but as Mr..
Davis had charge of the money, he
could of course use it, and was not,
therefore, penniless or in want. 1t is
Major Sutherland, of the Southern ar
my, who gives to Antelope the follow
ing information. The MAJORS family
resides in Danville, and it was at his
mansion MI. Davis rested while tarry-
ing in that town, a period of some ten
days. Says Antelope
"rhis most estimable family, previous
to the arrival of their distinguished
guest, had not heard of his really redu-
ced pecuniary condition; but while
there it came to the ears of the Majors
wife, who, with true womanly kindness,
set about to surprise their guest. Their
stock of gold, laid aside for a rainy day
was by no means exhausted, and the
old lady from this stock counted out
81, 900, which she sewed up carefully in
a small bag. Nothing was said about il
until the eve of the guests departure, OF
rather just as he was about stepping into
his carriage, when the Major remarked
'Mr. President, here is small token
which my wife has begged l should
hand to you, in the hope that you may
find it useful while on your journey
what is it, Major p asked Davis. The
Majorreplied, 1T is mere trifle of colo
take it, and ask no further ques'
tions.'n
az cannot replied Mr.. Davis, and,
bursting into tears, he leaped into his
carriage, with God bless you and
yours, Major!' and ordered the driver to
move on. r... .l..l
"IIe verify took neither purse nor
scrip for his journey, yet every few days
we were regaled with the tidings of fur
ther captures of his treasure That
there was treasure i'm the train which
preceded Davis, is well known, but up
on that treasure he held no claims what
ever, nor did he scarcely give it a
thought. The funds were the property
of the New Orleans and Richmond
banks, and it is utterly wrong to keep
repeating that they belonged to Davis,
and were part of his plumber ~ 1.
" Let me narrate another incident OF
- the Majors. He and Davis were seated
one evening beneath one of the majestic
trees of the mansion smoking away I'M
til toward midnight, when, among 9th
er things, the Major cautioned the ex-
President NTH most tender language,
upon his exposed eondition-Sherman

A REMARKABLE TREE.--The Paris
correspondent of the New York Metho-
dist furnishes the following interesting
account of species of tree brought
within few years from Australia to
Algiers: . ... ..... ...... ...I...
The MOniteNr, in giving an account of
the EmperOr's recent visit to the Jardin
d. Acclimation at Algiers, stated that
his Majesty was much struck with the
rapid growth of the Eucalyptus Resin
ifera, or Australian gum tree, which has
attained height of 80 feet and dame
ter of six inches in two years. This re-
markable tree, in its native .soil-Aus-
tralia-sometimes reaches the height of
$40 feet, and has been found more than
nineteen feet in diameter at about a
yard from the ground. 1t often yields
planks two hundred feet long without
single defect. The wood, not
withstanding its rapid growth, is
hard and heavier than oak. It also
presents beautiful colors, and is, conse-
quently, well adapted for cabinet work.
An astringent gum, known in COM
merce as "kino," is obtained by MAX
ing missions into its banks. The eu-
calyptus is an evergreen; its leaves have
nearly the same shape as the laurel.
The developments of it's lateral branch
es are no less wonderful than its stems I;
they are small until the trunk attains
the height of one hundred feet, when
they shoot out horizontally, sometimes
to the length of ninety feet, giving the
tree the appearance of an immense UNI
brella. The seed, strange to say, is very
small, and not unlike that of the tobac-
co plant; the flowers are white, of a
most agreeable smell, and much liked
by bees, which extract from them q
most delicious honey.

paper that have taken for years that
is proof that like the paper, and do not
like to see it on the wrong side or stating
an untruth. In your article of the 4th
inst, from correspondent, afterstating
that we had five thousand cases of fevers,

dreth part of it is truth. He told your
readers about the election and the els
tern water; why did he leave out the
fact that the largest vote that was cast
was on the water question, wherein the
people OF Norfolk decided by vote of
more than three to one, to subscribe
$500, 900 to introduce the ",jupiper.n Che

scarcity of houses. Now, if Won know

plenty to occupy them when thew are
